True. That’s why I prefer reading the theory, which usually mentions also the subsequent experimental results, first, then later I’ll pick up some of the more “philosphical” physicists’ books and enjoy their speculation on applicability to other areas of unanswered questions, knowing that actual lab research has gone some way toward weeding out the fanciful speculation.
Michio Kaku’s a good middle-of-the-road author, not nearly as dry as Paul Davies (good technically), but not as far out, New Agey hippie-ish as Fred Alan Wolfe. :-} I do miss those old hippies, though…. they were fun to just hang with.
