Andri M. Gretarsson author of "A First Course in Laboratory Optics" considers that in order to bridge the gap between demonstrating theory and testing theory, a change of emphasis in undergraduate laboratories is required.
Read MoreThe original post can be found at www.principia.blog Everyone knows that The Principia was based on the inspiration that struck Newton when the apple struck his head, as you can see from the cartoon above. The thought that passed through his head was as follows: “Clearly the earth attracts the apple in the same way that it attracts […]
Read MoreThe ultracold atomic physics has now emerged as an interdisciplinary research area between AMO physics and condensed matter physics. Author Hui Zhai discusses the discipline in his new book “Ultracold Atomic Physics”.
Read MoreDavid Merritt, author of PROSE Award winning book "A Philosophical Approach to MOND: Assessing the Milgromian Research Program in Cosmology” discusses the competing theories of MOND and LCDM ‘Suppose that the dark-matter detection experiments continue to fail. How can we hope to ever decide between the two competing theories?’
Read MoreIn my recently published textbook, Numerical Methods in Physics with Python, I opt against the use of black boxes. Instead, I show students how to mathematically derive numerical techniques, how to implement them in the popular programming language Python, as well as how to use them to study problems that show up in physics.
Read MoreSimon Friederich, author of Multiverse Theories: A Philosophical Perspective discusses the “multiverse” idea. What the idea entails and whether it can truly be tested.
Read MoreWhy would anyone write a new edition of a book that is still selling after many years? The explanations of the basic theory in the first edition are still valid, and the methods are still the ones that are most widely used. However I still felt an update was required. Richard M. Martin, author ofElectronic Structure Basic Theory and Practical Methods. Second Edition gives his personal reasons for updating the original edition (2004)
Read MoreOne of the greatest challenges in fundamental physics is to reconcile quantum mechanics and general relativity in a full theory of "quantum gravity”. It is a challenge that has by turns excited and frustrated physicists, for nearly a century.
