Into space, gaming, physics, math, and having fun.

Good book to end winter break.

Okay, entanglement and spooky action at a distance. Let me give you my version of the best way to think about it. One's mileage, as ever, is permitted to vary. (1/n)

[mmason.eth @MasonMault]

“What is Real” by Adam Becker. Good history of quantum physics.

[mmason.eth @MasonMault]

Day trip to @NASAKennedy . Had a lot of fun being an astronaut with @AnnikaCitron

[mmason.eth @MasonMault]

Fearful Symmetry by Anthony Zee. An Amazon review I found fitting was “gauge symmetry for blondes”. A quote I enjoy is “the difficulty is that symmetry implies unity while the world exhibits diversity”.

[mmason.eth @MasonMault]

I guess this never posted: “Something Deeply Hidden” by @seanmcarroll . Everett’s interpretation of QM is counterintuitive, but I am always happy to question reality. Fun and worth the read.

[mmason.eth @MasonMault]

Last book before school. “The Theoretical Minimum”. A lot of learning with a good intro to EM theory at the end. Hope y’all’s lives are going great.

The journey from Plato to Newton to modern physics. Feel like I gained a lot with this book. “Hidden in what seems like empty space are the very elements that allow for our existence” - @LKrauss1

[mmason.eth @MasonMault]

Finished “QED : The strange theory of light and matter ”. “The price of gaining such an accurate theory has been the erosion of our common sense” -@ProfFeynman

[mmason.eth @MasonMault]

Went to @ProfBrianCox Horizons event in Austin, and just finished “The Quantum Universe”. He and @JeffRForshaw wrote this book wonderfully. “Science is the investigation of the real, and if the real seems surreal then so be it.”

4 years! Here’s our happy family. @AnnikaCitron

[mmason.eth @MasonMault]

@waclawberent @LKrauss1 I have this and Brian Cox's 'The Quantum Universe' to read next!

[mmason.eth @MasonMault]

A Universe From Nothing. I’d say the best book I’ve ever read. “Until we open our eyes and let nature call the shots, we are bound to wallow in myopia”. -@LKrauss1

[mmason.eth @MasonMault]

@Anic108 @LKrauss1 just a little reading

[mmason.eth @MasonMault]

Have a good day everyone. @veefriends @garyvee @realUNOgame

[mmason.eth @MasonMault]

Found the correct cover. Another one from @RichardDawkins . Good intro to everyday science.

[mmason.eth @MasonMault]

Done with The Dark Universe, by Daniel Galouye. “Maybe this infinity might not be so terrifying if he would only give himself the chance to understand it.”

[mmason.eth @MasonMault]

Had a lot of fun reading this one. “Science flings open the narrow window through which we are accustomed to viewing the spectrum of possibilities” - @RichardDawkins

[mmason.eth @MasonMault]

Two of the more thought provoking books I have read. Visionary by @Graham__Hancock & DMT The Spirit Molecule by Rick Strassman. Hope to continue looking into this “field”.

[mmason.eth @MasonMault]

@smaacktalk @Gfunkera86 @Atomic__Danny @boredape93 @pixelvault_ @POWDAO_ @economist But I do get your perspective is one with a bit more skin in the game than I have.

[mmason.eth @MasonMault]

@smaacktalk @Gfunkera86 @Atomic__Danny @boredape93 @pixelvault_ @POWDAO_ @economist Fair perspective. I personally got into the project bc I find it fun. There is a lot going on, and I’m definitely not aware of it all. I find myself less bothered by the unknown, because I’m only here to have fun.
