Celebrated for his brilliantly quirky insights into the physical world, Nobel laureate Richard Feynman also possessed an extraordinary talent for explaining difficult concepts to the general public. Here Feynman provides a classic and definitive introduction to QED (namely quantum electrodynamics), that part of quantum field theory describing the interactions of light with charged particles. Using everyday language, spatial concepts, visualizations, and his renowned "Feynman diagrams" inst...

Gauss's law for electric fields, Gauss's law for magnetic fields, Faraday's law, and the Ampere–Maxwell law are four of the most influential equations in science. In this guide for students, each equation is the subject of an entire chapter, with detailed, plain-language explanations of the physical meaning of each symbol in the equation, for both the integral and differential forms. The final chapter shows how Maxwell's equations may be combined to produce the wave equation, the basis for...

The 'Enigma of Gravity' gives an insight into the origin and nature of an architectural phenomenon of the universe, namel gravity, the book starts by asking the fundamental questions, what is light, matter, space, time and energy and using classical physics seeks the relationships between these fundamental physical phenomenon and the cause of gravity. Is is possible to travel faster than light? Can gravity, space and time be manipulated? What is the physical nature of Einstein's curved spa...

"Gravity" is a popular science book written by physicist George Gamow in 1962. The book explores the history and science of gravity, one of the fundamental forces of the universe.Gamow begins by tracing the history of our understanding of gravity, from the early Greek philosophers to the work of Isaac Newton and Albert Einstein. He explains how Newton's laws of motion and his law of gravitation provided a framework for understanding the motion of celestial bodies, and how Einstein's theory...

Using LEGO® blocks to create a uniquely visual and clear depiction of the way our universe is put together. This is the perfect introduction to the enigmatic and fascinating world of Quantum Physics.Our story starts with the Big Bang, and along the way, the constructs and interactions within and among atoms and sub-atomic particles, and the forces that play upon them, are clearly explained, with each LEGO® block representing a different atomic or sub-atomic particle. The different ...

Physics in Minutes covers everything you need to know about physics, condensed into 200 key topics. Each idea is explained in clear, accessible language, building from the basics, such as mechanics, waves and particles, to more complex topics, including neutrinos, string theory and dark matter.Based on scientific research proving that the brain best absorbs information visually, illustrations accompany the text to aid quick comprehension and easy recollection. This conveni...

Our Star, the Sun, whilst only a small star compared to some, is essential for life upon Earth.Despite all of the technologies that are available to us, many questions remain. Those that have been answered include:What is the Sun made of?How does the Sun generate its energy?What is the mechanism behind the Sun's magnetic field and why does it flip every 11 years?What are sunspots and why are they dark?All of these questions and more are answe...

The presented theory in this book has been grounded on a fundamental mathematical mistake in Classical Electromagnetic Field Theory with Impact on General Relativity, Quantum Physics and the boundaries of our Universe.The famous 1927 Solvay Conference was considered a turning point in the world of Physics. The scientific realists like Albert Einstein had lost and the instrumentalists like Niels Bohr had won the fundamental conflict. Since then Physics has followed the path of the i...
