Fun with physics on 1000 pages - for free download
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. |

The curious would click the link and find out........ (17MB PDF) Adam I was curious. Exactly 17 minutes later I had a modern physics textbook on my computer. I am even more curious as to whether this is the first time a complete text book has been available via download. Does anybody know? One presumes that popular fiction may have been available on subscription. But what about non-fiction? Chris.B |
