Fun with physics on 1000 pages - for free download

The free physics text available on

http://www.motionmountain.net

has been reworked. It now contains 550 problems, 200 drawings, 70 tables,
and a new section on nuclear physics with the story of radioactivity, a MRI
scan of two humans making love and the dream of grand unification. It also
includes new figures on special relativity, a short explanation of
k-calculus, the paradox of the relativistic submarine, a photograph and
description of how some caterpillars shoot away their faecal matter, a
photograph of a basilisk running over water, and much more.

For all fields of physics the newest research results and the main
unanswered questions are presented. The text is a structured walk through
classical physics, relativity, quantum theory and unification. The reader
gets an overview of what motion is and what it can effect, keeping the
accent on surprises and thought-provoking puzzles.

Enjoy.

Christoph Schiller

P.P.S. Any help on (preferably colour postscript) images to
be added to the text (with permission of course) is much appreciated.

Damn. THANK YOU!
