  • Homework-related, Meta-discussion

Main Points Raised

  • Some participants indicate they are looking for quantum physics books to aid their learning.
  • One participant suggests searching for book titles followed by "pdf" on Google to find resources.
  • A link to a PDF resource is provided, noted as a good starting point for quantum physics and cosmology, although it is acknowledged to be more pop-science than detailed.
  • Another participant points out that borrowing a PDF is not possible due to copyright restrictions and emphasizes the strict policy on sharing copyrighted material at Physics Forums.
  • A mention of a Free Physics Books thread is made, suggesting an alternative resource for participants.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

If you look up the title of a book and follow it with ¨ pdf¨" in google you can find it

<Link to copyrighted material removed>

thats a good start for quantum physics and cosmology.
I am aware it is pop-science and isn't in too much detail but it is a good place to get into it.

You can't "borrow" a pdf. Note that we are very strict about copyright at PhysicsForums and will not allow the sharing of copyrighted material.
