  • Feynman Lectures Simplified 1A

    Basics of Physics & Newton's Laws

    by Robert Piccioni ...
    Series series Everyone's Guide to the Feynman Lectures on Physics
    As a Caltech undergraduate, I had the amazing opportunity to learn physics directly from the greatest scientist of our age. He had an uncanny ability to unravel the most complex mysteries, reveal the key underlying principles, and provide a profound understanding of nature. His style and enthusiasm were as important as the facts and equations.It’s a great shame that so many had so much difficulty ... 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 ...

  • Feynman Lectures Simplified 3A: Quantum Mechanics Part One

    by Robert Piccioni ...
    Series Book 1 - Everyone's Guide to the Feynman Lectures on Physics
    Feynman Simplified gives mere mortals access to the fabled Feynman Lectures on Physics.Quantum mechanics is rarely taught well in introductory physics courses, largely because this challenging subject was not well taught to many of today’s instructors. Few had the opportunity to learn quantum mechanics from some who understood it profoundly; almost none learned it from one of its creators. Here ... Read more

  • Black Holes, Supernovae & More

    by Robert Piccioni ...
    Series series Everyone's Guide Series
    This book continues our exploration of stars. Here we discuss the spectacular ways in which stars die, creating supernovae that are some of the most violent events in our universe. We also explore the exotic remnants of these explosions: white dwarfs, neutron stars, and particularly, black holes. We examine how black holes can grow as massive as small galaxies, and how they can evaporate through ... Read more

  • Our Universe 2: Redshift, Expansion, & Dark Energy

    by Robert Piccioni ...
    Series series Everyone's Guide Series
    This book continues our exploration of cosmology, the science of the universe as a whole. One of the most profound questions in cosmology is: Has our universe existed forever, or did it have a beginning? Philosophers, theologians, and scientists have argued both sides of this debate, for millennia. The first observational evidence came in 1929 when American astronomer Edwin Hubble announced his ...

  • Our Place in the Universe

    by Robert Piccioni ...
    Series series Everyone's Guide Series
    This book tells the story of our universe and how humanity fits into the grand cosmic scheme. Einstein said: "The most incomprehensible thing about our universe is that it is comprehensible." We humans claim to understand what lies beyond the most distant stars, what happened billions of years ago, and what will happen in the remote future. We will explore the most important things that science ... Read more

    I believe science and faith are compatible. Both are sincere efforts to seek Truth, something we all value. Despite Dividers, mutually respectful people of good will can find common ground. No one need chose either science or faith and be compelled to reject the other. Rather, we can wisely combine science and faith to benefit everyone.Science and faith can combine to benefit society more than ... Read more
