For over a century, quantum mechanics and Einstein’s general relativity have stood as the cornerstones of modern physics, yet ...

Enter modern physics. A branch of physics that involves more radical thinking to explain things at microscopic and macroscopic levels. This way of approaching physical theories started in the late ...

Modern physics(Phys 2130/2170), is the third semester in our three-semester sequence of introductory physics courses. It comes in two flavors at CU: a course for ...

Special theory of relativity, experimental basis of quantum theory, structure of the atom, wave properties of matter, quantum theory, hydrogen atom, atomic nucleus, nuclear interactions and ...

Galileo Galilei was the founder of modern physics. To assess such a claim requires that we make a giant leap of the imagination to transport us to a state of ignorance about even the most ...

THE author of the latest discussion of the foundations of physics, Prof. P. W. Bridgman, of Harvard University, is a highly distinguished experimenter in a branch of physics with a peculiarly ...

One of the driving forces behind that evolution is also one of our age's biggest mysteries in physics: dark energy. Dark energy is the name astronomers have given to the unknown force that is ...

New Scientist once described Isaac Newton as “the supreme genius and most enigmatic character in the history of science.” His three greatest discoveries — the theory of universal gravitation ...

The emphasis is on applying physical principles to problems involving electricity, waves (including classical waves and electromagnetic waves), optics, quantum physics, and the application of modern ...
