Bibliography

I know that I said in the beginning that much of this isn't of a high [written] academic rigour, but upon reflection I think that it is good to have a list of references that I consulted in the preparation of this set of articles so that those who are interested (and can handle the Chinese language and/or physics) can look at the original sources for themselves for more details if needed.
