^^' I've lost my younger son at quantum mechanics. But the older one is still with me.

Now I've lost the older one as well. We're now into the depths of quantum particles and it is simply getting too difficult for layfolk to understand. I will read the rest for myself.
But at least Aaron could use some of the earlier material of the book when he explained the structure of atoms via the Rutherford experiment. Yeah!

Quantum mechanics is so weird! Aaron and myself constantly walk on the borderline of understanding. Philip only hopes that it will be over soon ^^'.
But I realised that Sanderson apparently created some of Roshar's physics on the principles of quantum mechanics. I have to go looking for information on that.

Sometimes a bit too much for the boys, but overall a good recap of astrophysics so far.
:) and it definitely has a Monday editing. So many funny typos in there. My favourite so far was a listing of the inner planets going "Markus, Venus, Erde, Mars". XD

Our next breakfast read-aloud will be physics alternating with German ballads (the book for the second one is an old childhood companion of mine and not on Goodreads)

Full of admiration for you taking your kids into this science, which can be weirder than the Fantasy/SciFi we read in terms of believability!

The nearly 12 year old has given up. But the 14 year old is still interested and I will go on with the book as long as he is willing to listen. If nothing else they perhaps later have flashbacks to 'I've heard that before'.
I learnt it the first time at college. I didn’t truly understand it though that doesn’t stop you passing exams!It’s a subject that’s become clearer from repeated exposure over the years, as you suggest. So, well worth that early discussion.
