Reading Circle
Physics & Philosophy Book Club
A bilingual (English / 中文) circle reading our way across physics and the philosophy of physics — from playful illustrated guides to the heights of quantum field theory. Some books we tackle line by line; others we read just for the joy of it. Here are some examples of the trail we've walked together, from first encounters with electromagnetism and quantum mechanics to the deep waters of general relativity and quantum field theory.
