The (new) Quantum Rose, Chapter 6 and 7
The chapters in full are on my Patreon page at:
patreon.com/posts/47419530
I put two chapters because I'm getting them up too slowly. By the time I'm ready to send the revised book to my eBook publisher, I'm hoping to have the entire book posted on Patreon as well, like I did with Lightning Strike Book II.
I'm also hoping I can get it all posted in time to get feedback from on the essay at the back of the book that explains how the subtitles of each chapter relate to quantum scattering theory of polyatomic molecules. It needed a LOT of rewriting. I did it too fast, because I was on deadline when I first sent this book in to the publisher. In retrospect, I see I didn't explain things as well as I should have. In fact I jumped over a number of concepts that needed at least a few sentences. So I'm taking the time to do it right.
I remember when the French translator got to the essay, they added some notes of their own to the test. At the time, I was quite annoyed, given that translators are just supposed to translate, not add new text to the book. However, in retrospect, I wonder if they were trying to make clear some of the unclear concepts I talked about in the essay.
The chapters involve a lot of riding around on green glass stags. I didn't have any pictures of those, so I found pictures of Earth stags which look similar. Greenglass stags are much larger, with iridescent scales, but hey. :-)
