That would be the great Richard Feynman Smile

obsessed_philosopher, it's quite a difficult subject to understand, especially from a layman's point of view.

I have some very good books, which unfortunately assume a background in mathematics, so I don't think they'd be of much help.

If you'd like I could run through the basics with you, just reply here or PM. Plus I can answer questions, so in that sense I'm better than a book :p
