Quantum Mechanics for the 99% (But Not for Dummies) Eliot Hawkins
This book is intended for someone who doesn’t know anything about quantum mechanics but does know about science is general. A basic ‘hobby’ level knowledge is enough to get you started and I’ll fill in the blanks. By the end of this book, you will know all the types of particles that quantum physics has discovered and most of the roles they play. You will know the major players in the foundation of quantum mechanics, the experiments they performed and why it was so important. I will also discuss some real-world applications of quantum mechanics and how they work. Finally, we will briefly touch on the philosophical implications of quantum mechanics. Chapters include: Physiological Effects of RadiationYoungPlankBlack Body RadiationEinsteinBohrHeisenbergSchrodingerConceptsObservationQuant...
String Theory Simplified: What Is Theoretical Physics? Eliot Hawkins
This book provides a detailed look at the development, history, and current state of String Theory. However, unlike some books that are filled with equations and difficult math, the book is written in an easy to understand way and guides the reader through string theory. You are shown the equations (just so you know they exist and can see how difficult they are), but you are never asked to solve them. We start with the easiest topics such as: What is theoretical physicsWhat types of math do physicists use? By the end of the book, we tackle cosmology, the Big Bang and black holes as they relate to string theory. A basic understanding of scientific and mathematic terms is necessary. You should already be familiar with atoms, electrons, gravity and the mathematical principles of positive ...
