Fascinating Approach
This book is very well written. It is distinctive in its approach and deserves attention. Study this one after, or in parallel with, the traditionalundergraduate course to appreciate its charms. Emphasis is historical throughout, but
not detrimental to the physics content.

Product Description
This book may contain the unifying theory of physics. What is the Unifying Theory? It is an idea that will show the relationship between all energies and matter. That's exactly what this book does, starting by classifying the basic characteristics of energy and matter. By building on these ideas a new model of the atom will be introduced. This leads to new models of the elements. Then we will show new ways of chemical bonding. Many new molecules will be introduced. With these new ideas, you can look at an element or molecule and tell how it will act chemically. These ideas lead to what causes heat and cold. Next we discuss gravity, and you will be introduced to a completely new concept. Gravity will be far easier to understand than you can imagine. This theory will then bring in new concepts of sound, light, electricity and magnetism. All this is then tied together to give you a picture of how the universe really works. The simplicity of this theory will amaze you. ... Read more

Product Description
High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The Copenhagen interpretation is an interpretation of quantum mechanics. A key feature of quantum mechanics is that the state of every particle is described by a wavefunction, which is a mathematical representation used to calculate the probability for it to be found in a location or a state of motion. According to this interpretation, the act of measurement causes the calculated set of probabilities to "collapse" to the value defined by the measurement. This feature of the mathematical representations is known as wavefunction collapse. Early twentieth-century experiments on the physics of very small-scale phenomena led to the discovery of phenomena that could not be predicted on the basis of classical physics, and to new empirical generalizations (theories) that described and predicted very accurately those micro-scale phenomena so recently discovered. These generalizations, these models of the real world being observed at this micro scale, could not easily be reconciled with the way objects are observed to behave on the macro scale of everyday life. ...

Product Description
High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! This article describes a particle in planar motion when observed from non-inertial reference frames. The most famous examples of planar motion are related to the motion of two spheres that are gravitationally attracted to one another, and the generalization of this problem to planetary motion. See centrifugal force, two-body problem, orbit and Kepler's laws of planetary motion. Those problems fall in the general field of analytical dynamics, the determination of orbits from given laws of force. This article is focused more on the kinematical issues surrounding planar motion, that is, determination of the forces necessary to result in a certain trajectory given the particle trajectory. General results presented in fictitious forces here are applied to observations of a moving particle as seen from several specific non-inertial frames, for example, a local frame (one tied to the moving particle so it appears stationary), and a co-rotating frame (one with an arbitrarily located but fixed axis and a rate of rotation that makes the particle appear to have only radial motion and zero azimuthal motion). The Lagrangian approach to fictitious forces is introduced. ... Read more
