What Physics Books Can Help Regain Reality Post-Psychosis?

[White Night]

Hi I'm white knight(night) and I'm from california. I noticed you didn't have a new member intro section, nor an off topic section so I'm posting here. I signed up on your forum because, well to be frank, i had a bad trip on some drugs about a year ago and had a psychotic breakdown/shift in consciousness and I'm now recovering and I'm trying to find solidity in my reality. I was always good at math and I figured a better understanding of physics would help me with this conundrum of mine.

What books related to physics should i read to better understand the workings of things? It would be nice to start with the foundation of physics and work my way outwards to more advanced theories. I read Parallel Worlds by Michio kaku and I'm currently reading a biography on Einstein. Any suggestions would be appreciated :)

Hello there, what is your current math background?

Welcome to PF, White Knight.
You're in the right place. Lots of us have mental problems (mine is ADD), and have managed to make that a positive. I can't really recommend any books because of my age. In my day, it was Carl Sagan, Steven Weinberg, Isaac Asimov...

If you can get a hold of the Feynman lectures in physics, I would suggest reading the earlier volumes.

Try our General Discussion forum, down near the bottom of the list. That's where most people put their introductions.

Tip: if you decide to post a proper introduction there, you can save us a step by telling us up front what your favorite fish is.
