  Reminds me of the opening paragraph from ‘States of Matter’:

  Ludwig Boltzmann, who spent much of his life studying statistical mechanics, died in 1906, by his own hand. Paul Ehrenfest, carrying on the work, died similarly in 1933. Now it is our turn to study statistical mechanics.

    University Physics sucks but physical chemistry is all Boltzmann all the time and it’s so awful

  the older the meme gets the more it seems to dissipate into low res and compression artifacts. It’s like a fading memory

    My baby you’ll be, or some such did me in as a parent who lost their mother. I’m not good to read that one.

  I have that book. It has an absolute ton of practice problems. They were not very helpful for my electricity & magnetism final!

    Yup. Study the past papers, not the textbook.

  Never cried reading a book. And I read a ton. Cry with music, TV, and movies. Never books though. Weird. Never thought about it.

    Try reading them in bed laying on your back. When you fall asleep and drop them on your face, the heavy ones will make you cry.

  • v_krishna@lemmy.ml ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

    Is that the new one? This spring i read the 3 original ones (had never heard of the series A friend turned me on to it) but I’ve been holding off reading the new one to make it last.

    source

    • braxy29@lemmy.world ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      yes, that’s the new one! it seems like some people didn’t care for it, but i loved it and i thought it was a fitting conclusion to everything that came before.

      fair warning the second half is… well, it’s something else. just roll with it if you decide to read it.

  The Giving Tree

  source

  • gandalf_der_12te@discuss.tchncs.de ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

    I’ve read the giving tree recently and i must say, it kinda makes me angry, but not so much because of its sad story, but because i think that that is not a good way of life. you can’t give away your life, i think, and you shouldn’t look at yourself like a candle that is pre-destined to burn down through its course.

    i believe that to truly live well, one must always live as if one had a very long life and must be sustainable in any action. this includes not giving away parts of your life that don’t regrow. that is why the giving tree made me so angry.

    • Machinist@lemmy.world ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      I very much agree. It is held up as this wonderful parable of how you should live. It’s the sort of thing that the powerful use to take advantage and abuse the weak.

      This kind of puerile shit is bad for children and is just like a lot of the Jesus crap that gets pounded into kids.
