AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers around the anticipation for the release of a General Relativity (GR) book following the successful launch of a Special Relativity (SR) book two years ago. Participants express curiosity about the release timeline and the reasons for any delays. There is acknowledgment of the existing quality literature on GR, yet a desire for new contributions, particularly from authors like Susskind. The conversation also highlights the appeal of the Minimum series for lay readers and suggests a preference for lectures without student interruptions, contrasting the style of popular science communicators like Brian Cox.

It's been 2 years since the SR book was released. Any news on when the GR book is going to be released?

Why don't you ask him directly?
 
The minimum series has been good from a non scientific/ lay person POV.
I liked the lectures but I would like to see Dr Physics A do similar.
No interruptions from student questions in those posts.
Absolutely nothing Brian Cox about him.

Thread '"WHAT IS A QUANTUM FIELD THEORY?" A First Introduction for Mathematicians'

The book is fascinating. If your education includes a typical math degree curriculum, with Lebesgue integration, functional analysis, etc, it teaches QFT with only a passing acquaintance of ordinary QM you would get at HS. However, I would read Lenny Susskind's book on QM first. Purchased a copy straight away, but it will not arrive until the end of December; however, Scribd has a PDF I am now studying. The first part introduces distribution theory (and other related concepts), which...

Thread 'Books with a more theoretical approach to turbulence and DNS'

I've gone through the Standard turbulence textbooks such as Pope's Turbulent Flows and Wilcox' Turbulent modelling for CFD which mostly Covers RANS and the closure models. I want to jump more into DNS but most of the work i've been able to come across is too "practical" and not much explanation of the theory behind it. I wonder if there is a book that takes a theoretical approach to Turbulence starting from the full Navier Stokes Equations and developing from there, instead of jumping from...
