In some cases the author has to go in depth in the explanation of the aspects that are related to physics. It helps solidify and strengthen the theories discussed in the book.Sarrikoziol wrote: ↑03 Nov 2020, 04:58 I found myself in the middle ground here. I felt at times it got to be a bit much, but seemed to be relevant to the book itself. With every profession, there is jargon. I think it was the hardest to understand in comparison to the explanations. As the book went on, it was easier to catch what was being said and the meanings. However by the time I finished, I found I was still questioning things.

True, the reader's knowledge of physics matters. Otherwise, the reader will have to do some research on the theories discussed in the book.NetMassimo wrote: ↑01 Nov 2020, 11:44 It depends a lot on the reader's knowledge. I read "hard" science fiction and scientific articles, so it wasn't a problem for me. On the other hand, I understand that for someone with no knowledge of quantum physics the topic might have been too complex.

No, I completely get it. There are times in my own profession where there is no other words to explain. It gets harder sometimes when newer people haven't been exposed to what you are saying.Moray_001 wrote: ↑09 Feb 2021, 17:01In some cases the author has to go in depth in the explanation of the aspects that are related to physics.

I completely agree with this. For me, as someone who reads hard science fiction and aced college physics with ease, the science was easy to understand. My husband, on the other hand, has no science background. Because of the way the UK education system works, he never took physics in high school, and in college, he only took classes in his major. I read a passage to him because I thought it was interesting, but it was beyond his skill set despite his Masters in Computer Science.NetMassimo wrote: ↑01 Nov 2020, 11:44 It depends a lot on the reader's knowledge.
