Well, there's that old saying: Misery love company. I just ordered a new
used book, a book recommended by John Gribbin.
'Doing Physics' by Martin Krieger.
"A mind-expanding book which brings home more clearly and forcefully than
any other discussion I know of the extent to which physics is not just based
on but _is_ a system of analogies and metaphors -- in other words, fiction.
Closely reasoned, and needs careful study; but if you make the effort you
will never see the world of science in the same light again."
(Gribbin, 'Schrodinger's Kittens and the Search for Reality')
