For general relativity: I never miss an opportunity to recommend "Spacetime and Geometry" by Sean Carrol. The only book I needed for my GR course (plus Misner Thorne and Wheeler for occasional reference).

> I recently learnt that the Toeffili and Hadamard gates are universal for quantum computation. The description of these gates involve no complex numbers.

Hmm, these are matrices so essentially complex numbers?

Some kind of focus would do this young man well. Also thinking how to turn that all information into action or outcomes.

On the contrary, I think it is completely fine to learn for the sake of learning. It doesn't preclude future action, in fact, it greatly helps it. And at young age, with probably limited responsibilities? A no-brainer the way I see it.
