What are some books that have a lot of actual science in them like Pynchons stuff?
Science textbooks
Or mathematics, should you feel so inclined.
But Pynchon doesn't use actual science any more than he uses actual history.
Ratner's Star fits the bill though, dingbat.

I don't know what you mean. Pynchon has a shit load of science in. It's probably the most irritating part of the book but it's there. The title of the novel comes from a pretty confusing scientific concept.

There's a reason these people write fiction. And it's because they don't understand "actual science"

Which novel? You didn't specify which one, Thomas Pynchon has several novels.

That doesn't even make sense.
Not really science (debatable according to some), but there's a norwegian book called Sophie's World which teaches a lot of philosophical concepts, then we also have these retarded manga guides to stuff.

Formal science is not science, it's like calling a chair "a car without engines", it's still not going to be a car nor any sort of car.
