Was that helpful?

Yes, very much so! It would be great to see someone such as yourself do an actual calculation with Carroll's equation much like Einstein did a calculation with the precession of Mercury using General Relativity.

If you measured temperature in kelvin, there wouldn't be this confusion.

Erm, do you want me to write one down for you as an example, or do you mean you'd like to see it used in general, because people use it all the time!

How about both?!

I have a similar problem. I follow the cooking instructions exactly. I'm then really bad at knowing whether the thing is done by then, or needs more time. I generally just flip out.

What should I read if I'm interested to learn some physics? Are the Feynman lectures a good start?
