1. Find a scientific textbook, a good dictionary, a pad of paper
2. In the textbook find a place where an concept (for instance work, entropy, mass) is defined in words with the greatest precision. Write out the definition of the term on a piece of paper, call this "the hub". Put it on floor, or paste on wall
3. Look up in dictionary the definitions of every word in the definition, i.e. in the hub. Copy these out on a piece of paper, and arrange radiating out from the hub.
4. Keep on doing this, looking up the definitions of the definitions. Stop when you see a word in the hub used in any definition. |
