The adventure of physics - new version for free download

[Mohit Pandey]

I switched the server to deliver zipped pdf files instead of pure pdf

files, so that the problem should not appear any more.

 

Enjoy!

As about a year ago, here is a new version of the

free physics textbook provided for free by our

charitable non-profit organisation.

 

The new, twenty-second edition of the freely

downloadable physics textbook is available on

 

www . motionmountain . net

 

Over 1600 pages show that physics is more fun than making

love. They lead through the whole of physics, from

mechanics to thermodynamics, relativity, electrodynamics,

quantum theory, nuclear physics, astrophysics and

unification. The text promises to be fascinating and

challenging on every page.

 

The twenty-second edition now explains how it is possible

to plunge a bare hand into molten lead, includes a film of

an oscillating quartz inside a watch, explains how it is

possible to type a letter by controlling a computer

with thought alone, includes a film of a solar flare,

explains the fifteen ways that colours appear

in rocks plants and animals, explains the connection

between cats and gauge theory, adds more ways in which

the human eye invents colours that are not there, includes

a list of laser types and applications, includes many

images of crystals, explains how physics Plotinus

and christianity come together to show that the universe

and god are one and the same, adds the handcuff puzzle

and several other puzzles, explains how jet pilots

frighten civilians with sonic superbooms produced by

fighter planes, presents the most beautiful and precise

sundial available today, adds a simple photographic

proof that the Earth is larger than the Moon, improves

the presentation of elementary particle physics, adds

a photo of a red rainbow, gives the latest discoveries

on the Galileo trial, presents a fascinating mathematical

aspect of Ohm's law, states the hardest open math problem

that you can explain to your grandmother, adds photographs

of levitation, and much more.

 

Over 50 new illustrations and 100 new pages have been added.

More than 200 women and men have helped with suggestions and

material: thank you to all of them. A beautiful

French translation by Benoit Clenet of a large part

of the text is also available. Parts are available in

Italian and Spanish. Suggestions and errata

can be added at the Motion Mountain wiki.

 

Enjoy!
