Jan 10, 2012 - For instance, many of the fundamental constants surrounding high-energy physics could vary significantly and still sustain life. Feb 14, 2014 - It emits no radiation," says Robert Lamontagne, an astrophysicist at the Department of Physics, Université de Montréal, and Executive Director of the Observatoire du Mont-Mégantic. Even one of the four fundamental forces, the weak nuclear force, may not be necessary to support life: Tipler uses fine-tuning evidence for his argument, but he also draws from thermodynamics, quantum mechanics and special relativity. Anderson suggested the fundamental principle of emergence, i.e. Jul 15, 2011 - The videos are for those who have a good preparation in physics and mathematics. Apr 14, 2014 - Physics knowledge, as a subject matter of a regular curriculum, is often presented as an amalgam of topics backing in various physics theories (classical mechanics, thermodynamics, electromagnetism, relativity, quantum mechanics) without recognizing this fact and the different and often mutually contradicting Among his products are introductory course of optics using CCK approach, Fundamentals of Physics and Modern Physics for school students in Israel. Their paper "A violation of the uncertainty principle implies a violation of the second law of thermodynamics" (arXiv:1205.6894) shows that thermodynamics and the fundamental uncertainty enshrined in quantum mechanics are deeply connected. Oct 23, 2012 - Vlatko's six-page article traces the triumph of thermodynamics in surviving the "complete regime change" wrought in physics when quantum mechanics and Einstein's relativity were introduced in the early 20th Century. Jul 18, 2008 - This week, I'm writing on those topics which caused a revolution in the science, and distinguish modern physics from classical: relativity and quantum mechanics. A good resource He also has a (much longer) essay which clarifies many points of confusion with thermodynamics -- but which I must emphasize is not an introduction to thermodynamics; his points wouldn't make sense without a preexisting context of thermodynamics and statistical mechanics. That 'More is Different', meaning that complex physical systems may exhibit behavior, that cannot be understood only in terms of the laws governing their microscopic constituents. Since it is not visible While the two major theories, that of general relativity (a theory of gravity) and quantum mechanics (a description of the microscopic world), work well in their respective fields, they are not universal: neither can explain alone how black holes work. Sep 15, 2013 - Einstein's many contributions to physics include his special theory of relativity, which reconciled mechanics with electromagnetism, and his general theory of relativity which extended the principle of relativity to non-uniform motion . This course covers Newtonian mechanics, special relativity, gravitation, thermodynamics, and waves.
