Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around the anticipated release of Leonard Susskind's General Relativity (GR) book, following the release of his Special Relativity (SR) book two years prior. Participants express their views on the necessity and desirability of Susskind's upcoming work in the context of existing literature on GR.

Discussion Character

  • Debate/contested

Main Points Raised

  • Some participants inquire about the release date of Susskind's GR book, noting the time elapsed since the SR book was published.
  • Others question the need for another GR book, suggesting that there are already many good resources available on the topic.
  • One participant expresses a preference for Susskind's writing style, indicating a desire for his perspective despite the availability of other texts.
  • A suggestion is made to directly contact Susskind for information regarding the book's release.
  • Another participant comments on the quality of the existing series from a non-scientific perspective, expressing a desire for similar content without interruptions from student questions.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants do not reach a consensus on the necessity of Susskind's GR book, with some advocating for its release while others believe existing literature suffices. The discussion remains unresolved regarding the book's release date and its perceived value.

Contextual Notes

Participants' views on the necessity of Susskind's book depend on personal preferences for writing style and content delivery, as well as the perceived adequacy of current GR resources.

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.
