Reading for dark matter versus modified gravity

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the challenge of finding accessible resources for understanding the debate between dark matter and modified gravity theories. It highlights the lack of layperson-friendly textbooks, as most relevant literature is aimed at researchers and assumes familiarity with complex concepts. A suggested resource is a blog post from 2012 that features a dialogue among scientists discussing these theories, though it may still be too advanced for those without a background in the field. The conversation acknowledges that while the scientific discourse has evolved, the fundamental issues remain similar.

Thread '"WHAT IS A QUANTUM FIELD THEORY?" A First Introduction for Mathematicians'

The book is fascinating. If your education includes a typical math degree curriculum, with Lebesgue integration, functional analysis, etc, it teaches QFT with only a passing acquaintance of ordinary QM you would get at HS. However, I would read Lenny Susskind's book on QM first. Purchased a copy straight away, but it will not arrive until the end of December; however, Scribd has a PDF I am now studying. The first part introduces distribution theory (and other related concepts), which...
