This summer, Smashwords is having it's July Sale and I thought I would offer all of my books for Free for the month.

MindFucking AI: and possibly You
Closed Loop Pulse Propulsion
A Grand Unified Theory
The Infinite Push
The Gospel of Judas Iscariot

They're all free to download and read... as is a lot of other great writers. None as great as me but still... some pretty good ones nonetheless... LOL.

Enjoy your summer...

The Infinite Push is a fun read.

I don't ever claim to be right... I just take you inside the mechanics and let you figure out what's going on.

So it's not about being smart, it's just about trying to understand it a piece at a time. All the math mumbo jumbo is just a short hand so when you're working on physics or advanced geometry, you don't have to keep saying...

'You know... do that thing where you take the energy, not the spinning energy..."

"You mean a Lagrangian?"

YES!!!

That's how I do math by the way.... I don't use equations so much as use what I can to find solutions. So it's writing by an idiot for smarter people to read and go... wow, if this moron can understand physics, maybe it's not that hard. LOL 🤣

Once during a free, online astro-tech class, the professor was doing all these calculations. Then she said, "I'll just let you finish this at home." I really did LOL. Might as well ask me to read a bowl of alphabet soup but your approach sounds right up my street. Thanks again.
