Are there any good modern science books that bring you up to

this is /lit/. we only do philosophy.

What discipline? Science is too vast for modern discoveries to be truncated into a single book without losing massive amounts of content. Any single serious scientific exploration requires an entire book to fully elucidate, so even if one were to read the equivalent to "modern biological discoveries for dummies" all nuance would be lost, and you would be left with a reduction of content less useful than a day's worth of wikipedia-chaining the field.

>sex is a basic need

no wonder we can't get any of those higher needs

>breathing, food, water, sex, sleep, homeostasis, excretion

The rest is pretty much all I do

Jerk it off and climb the ladder to the next rung of "Get a job," loser.

I'm interested in knowing how the unified theory of the universe is coming along. I hear that there's a new theory that says that einstein was basically wrong. Also, string theory sounds rather interesting too, I know that it predicts that all matter in the universe is basically determined by the frequency at which energy vibrates on a sub atomic level.

About what? I get a strong impression that you don't know what you are talking about.

go to hell posi bitch

I will abandon here all pretenses of knowing what the fuck I am talking about. I would refer you to Brian Greene and Stephen Hawking, whose books I have gifted to friend with these interests, and which they have enjoyed. Apparently Greene in particular has a knack for explaining the quantum world without slipping into pop science oversimplification.

Really just the most embarrassing post on /lit/. No wonder you're all closet """positivists"""

The really depressing part is that "sexual intimacy" is below "self-esteem" in the pyramid; but achieving sexual intimacy without self-esteem is virtually impossible.

Yeah, I'm not a scientist, you caught me. My life is a lie.

There are (maybe were now) some lovely string theory lectures from Stanford online. It's really more about energy and scale: quantum mechanics is low energy small things, and string theory is high energy small things. Similarly, dark energy is low energy big things and general relativity is high energy big things.
