[edit] The edition I had (paperback?) had good footnotes - sometimes a third of a page would be devoted to critiques and even counters to the main points
The footnotes were basically commentary by physicists on his understanding and presentation of modern (since 1900) physics.
Does anyone else's edition (mine got lost) have that? I thought it was particularly a good way to do such a New Agey physics book. When I asked Richard Feynman about it specifically he said it didn't save it, and that both it and Tao of Physics were, in his experience, unreadable. Nonetheless the author's willingness to have what seemed like more than a dozen physicists essentially saying "this is nonsense" or "this is wrong" about some of his points, right on the same page where he made various claims, was pioneering and would have been a good model for later books. I got my sister the audioboook because she wanted an overview and I would say that without the footnotes it's a completely different book.
I would like to include that if I could nail down an edition with all the notes and review it to see if my memory is right. MarionADelgado 10:47, 23 July 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:DancingWuLiMastersGaryKukav.jpg
Image:DancingWuLiMastersGaryKukav.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
