The books by Feynman that have been mentioned do NOT use archaic jargon!!!!!!
His writing is VERY accessible to 'real people'.
Give 'em a try!

For a Noble Laureate, his words are MOST readable!

i understand where you are coming from. it is faster to learn when you ask a
PERSON for their knowledge and A LOT more interactive, than reading books
that may not even answer the questions that you have.

also, a lot of really technical books, i have noticed, use very archaic
language, mostly terms that only other people that have been in their field
a while would know what they mean


Hi Justin,
Here is my suggestion for finding out what energy is. Go to the nearest
Barnes and Noble or other large bookstore and go to the physics
section. Then find the Lectures on Physics by Richard Feynman. Turn to
the first part of chapter 4 and read "What is Energy" perhaps this will
help you. If you find the reading interesting you might look at other
sections of the book.
