  • Elementary Particles and the Laws of Physics

    The 1986 Dirac Memorial Lectures

    by Richard P. Feynman, Steven Weinberg ...
    Perhaps the two most important conceptual breakthroughs in twentieth century physics are relativity and quantum mechanics. Developing a theory that combines the two seamlessly is a difficult and ongoing challenge. This accessible book contains intriguing explorations of this theme by the distinguished physicists Richard Feynman and Steven Weinberg. Richard Feynman's contribution examines the ... Read more

  • General Relativity 1: Newton vs Einstein

    by Robert Piccioni ...
    Relativity and Quantum Mechanics are the two major pillars of 20th century physics. These theories, launched within five years of one another, revolutionized our understanding of nature. They utterly dismantled the conceptual basis of Newtonian physics that had been the gold standard of science for over 200 years, and introduced radically new concepts that defy human intuition. These theories may ... Read more

  • Higgs & Bosons & Fermions .... Oh My

    by Robert Piccioni ...
    Series series Everyone's Guide Series
    This book explores the Micro-World of subatomic particles and forces, including the recently discovered Higgs boson.The pursuit of nature’s smallest parts is one of mankind’s oldest quests, beginning at least 26 centuries ago. But, just in our lifetimes it seems we’ve finally “hit bottom.” Each step deeper into the Micro-World has revealed surprises, and expanded our understanding of nature on all ... Read more

  • Quantum Physics: From Illusion to Reality

    by gaoshan ...
    The double-slit experiment has been widely discussed since the founding of quantum mechanics. Nearly all textbooks on quantum mechanics use the experiment to illustrate the wave-particle duality of light and matter. According to Richard Feynman, the double-slit experiment contains the only mystery of quantum mechanics. After we have unveiled the mystery, we will be able to understand quantum ... Read more

  • General Relativity 2: Spacetime Curvature

    by Robert Piccioni ...
    Series series Everyone's Guide Series
    This book continues our exploration of the most profound theory of science, Einstein’s General Theory of Relativity. We examine more carefully the properties of spacetime, the unity of space and time. We explore the major features of curvature, how to measure it, and how to reduce its complexity to finding distances between nearby points. We find a simple expression, 2M/r, which proves ...
