During a sequence of meals, the author relates the principal features of physics in easy-to-understand conversations with his wife Beth. Beginning with the studies of motion by Galileo and Newton through to the revolutionary theories of relativity and quantum mechanics in the 20th century, all important aspects of electricity, energy, magnetism, gravity and the structure of matter and atoms are explained and illustrated. The second edition similarly recounts the more recent application of these theories to nanoparticles, Bosendash;Einstein condensates, quantum entanglement and quantum computers. By including accurate measurements of the Cosmic Microwave Background and supernovae in near and distant galaxies, an understanding of how the universe was formed in an Inflationary Big Bang is now possible. We've also gained a much better picture of the life of stars and how they may turn into red giants, white dwarfs, black holes, neutron stars or pulsars.

Presents 101 experiments relating to physics using materials readily available around the house.

★★ It might not be rocket science, but quantum physics is one field of science that has challenged scientists for decades. ★★ Infamously, it is one of the most difficult branches of science to understand. One reason for this is that you must be ready to envision the unthinkable. Quantum physics defies common sense and intuition, and has often been described as "weird", or "strange", even by famous scientists like Einstein. To spare you the trauma, this book will not delve into mind-boggling math or equations. This book serves as a smooth introduction into quantum physics - probably the easiest you will come across. For years, the crazy math has made many people assume quantum physics to be the preserve of a select few. That shouldn't be the case. Quantum physics is an exciting journey if you are a thrill seeker. Comprehensible? Yes, it is. You don't have to go about it the difficult way either. In this book, we will cover the basic concepts and theories that are the foundation upon which quantum physics thrives today. With this knowledge, you can then graduate deeper into the intrigues of quantum physics. The beauty of learning quantum physics is that you probably have as much certainty of the concepts as the top scientists in the world today. After all, simple things like the workings of measurements are still a conundrum to quantum physicists.

This widely admired standalone guide is packed with creative tips on how to enhance and expand your physics class instruction techniques. It's an invaluable companion for novice and veteran professors teaching any physics course.

Graduate-level text offers unified treatment of mathematics applicable to many branches of physics. Theory of vector spaces, analytic function theory, theory of integral equations, group theory, and more. Many problems. Bibliography.

Covering the theory of computation, information and communications, the physical aspects of computation, and the physical limits of computers, this text is based on the notes taken by one of its editors, Tony Hey, on a lecture course on computation given b

A master teacher presents the ultimate introduction to classical mechanics for people who are serious about learning physics "Beautifully clear explanations of famously 'difficult' things," -- Wall Street Journal If you ever regretted not taking physics in college -- or simply want to know how to think like a physicist -- this is the book for you. In this bestselling introduction to classical mechanics, physicist Leonard Susskind and hacker-scientist George Hrabovsky offer a first course in physics and associated math for the ardent amateur. Challenging, lucid, and concise, The Theoretical Minimum provides a tool kit for amateur scientists to learn physics at their own pace.

Easy- to-follow presentation of main topics in physics, Core concepts highlighted to aid learning. Sample problems let you apply principles immediately. Practice exercises(with answers) help you build skill and confidence.

What In The World Is Quantum Physics? Do black holes really exist?Are string theories made of... strings?What is the Schrödinger's Cat? Let's face the fact here, you are NOT A SCIENTIST nor a physician, and yet you are curious about those questions that you have been pondering about.It's time for you to rediscover science? One of the most compelling draws of the sciences for many people is the potential of discovering something that was not known before. Whether someone's doing it for fame, for fortune, or just for the fun of it, discovering something new, leaving your own personal mark for the rest of humanity's time in the universe, is a tempting prospect for many. How would you feel about naming a star, and for others to know that you named it? That star would be visible in the sky for the rest of your lifetime, and more than likely for your great-great-great-grandchildren's lifetimes. Your discovery would be immortalized above for the life of the star. Inside this book you will discover: - String theory and how it came about- Black holes and quantum gravity- If Schrödinger's Cat is really a cat?- Disagreements between Einstein and Bohr- The double slit experiment If you are ready to learn about quantum physics, Scroll Up And Click On The "BUY NOW" Button Now!

From Schrodinger's cat to Heisenberg's uncertainty principle, this book untangles the weirdness of the quantum world. Quantum mechanics underpins modern science and provides us with a blueprint for reality itself. And yet it has been said that if you're not shocked by it, you don't understand it. But is quantum physics really so unknowable? Is reality really so strange? And just how can cats be half-alive and half-dead at the same time? Our journey into the quantum begins with nature's own conjuring trick, in which we discover that atoms -- contrary to the rules of everyday experience -- can exist in two locations at once. To understand this we travel back to the dawn of the twentieth century and witness the birth of quantum theory, which over the next one hundred years was to overthrow so many of our deeply held notions about the nature of our universe. Scientists and philosophers have been left grappling with its implications every since.
