    I don’t know. I like Griffith’s Quantum Mechanics which opens saying if you think you’re starting to understand this stuff, you really haven’t.

    There’s a mechanics textbook called “there once was a classical theory” and it opens with:

    There once was a classical theory Of which quantum disciples were leery. They said, “Why spend so long On a theory that’s wrong?” Well, it works for your everyday query!

    My third year thermodynamics course opened with a similar quip by the lecturer. Entropy is actually depressing. You can’t fight it. You can’t not fight it. It just wins.
