All attempts to combine quantum theory and general relativity so far suffer from "internal" problems - problems you can detect without doing experiments. But there are also experimental puzzles that want explanations, like "dark matter" (or whatever is). (continued)
Thank you very much, Dr Hucks, for calling my attention to this reference. Any opinions on how it compares with Chris Quigg's book?

Hi, please call me Joe! I think Quigg's book is a little more technical, with more emphasis on computations, plus he covers GUTs to a small extent. I find Huang's writing style and notation easier to read. With QFT books, it's good to have several to look at.

Thanks, Joe. I strongly agree that one really just can't learn quantum field theory adequately from a single textbook -- not even one in three large volumes, like Weinberg's. The subject is just too vast and various, and the questions it raises too intricate and subtle.
