Alan Lightman, the Physicist Who Craves Books on Philosophy

[BidenPresident]

Q: Which subjects do you wish more authors would write about?

A: As a scientist, it would be natural for me to say the subject of science, but there are already many wonderful books about science. I wish more authors would write about philosophy in an accessible and meaningful way, as does the writer Rebecca Goldstein.

About how conflict (war) affects individuals. Not so much physically or economically, but rather mentally and psychologically. You'd really be surprised how little is written on this that's really worthwhile.

This is one of the best studies I've ever found

You should post the article. NYT won't let us see it.

Around 50 years ago an Alan Lightman ( probably the same one) wrote a wonderful book called "Problem Book in Relativity and Gravitation". Around 500 problems with worked out solutions in the back. I have the book - it's not easy.

Surprising to see a problem-oriented person like him caring about a woolybrained subject like philosophy.

Lightman has written about philosophy. You are a fucking moron.

Lightman has written about philosophy. You are a fucking moron.

Real physicists don't write about philosophy until they get old and can't do real physics.

PS - You don't get to call me a moron. You are a convicted tranny which means you are so dumb you don't even know if you're male or female.

You are stupid asshole.
