AI Thread Summary
The document linked is indeed in Modern Greek, which explains the difficulty in reading it for those expecting English. The presence of Greek letters and words, such as "Volt," confirms its language. Users are unsure why the document is not in English as anticipated. Concerns about font installation may be irrelevant since the text is not in the expected language. The author of the document is likely Greek, which could clarify the language choice.

It surely is in Greek.Neogreek,actually.How did i figure that (i don't know a word in Dutch and i been living in Belgium for 2 months and a half,so Neogreek is completely strange to me,though a know of my fair share of words in Ancient Greek (especially the ones related to physics and mathematics)) out?Simple,in the second page,among all those Greek letters,the word "Volt" showed up.Had it been in Greek,it should have stated B(large beta,in Neogreek read "V") omicron lambda tau.

Perhaps because the guy who wrote it is, maybe, I dunno, GREEK? :-p
 

Thread 'Need help understanding particle physics and quantum physics'

So I know that electrons are fundamental, there's no 'material' that makes them up, it's like talking about a colour itself rather than a car or a flower. Now protons and neutrons and quarks and whatever other stuff is there fundamentally, I want someone to kind of teach me these, I have a lot of questions that books might not give the answer in the way I understand. Thanks
