Math Problem Books (Also read - Physics Books for self learning) How often have you stared at a math (or physics) problem, unsure of where to begin? Most math books…
Is zero point energy exploitable?
The short answer is ‘No’. If you think about what the zero-point energy represents, it is the lowest POSSIBLE energy state of a system. For us to extract any energy…
Teaching Relativity
Galilean Transformation - v’ = v +- V - cannot be applied to light If (x1 , t1) and (x2,t2) are two events in K, and (x1’,t1’) and (x2’,t2’) are…

Bohm and DeBroglie’s Pilot Wave
The phenomenon we are trying to explain is the interference pattern seen when you send a stream of particles through a double slit (barrier with 2 slits) apparatus. As long…
The Standard model of cosmology
Just like the Standard Model for elementary particles, the model for cosmology also has 15 adjustable constants.
