Fundamentals of Physics: Mechanics, Relativity, and Thermodynamics R. Shankar
Publisher: Yale University Press

Feb 15, 2012 - The wonderful (I use the term advisedly) thing is that thermodynamics and relativity are not the underlying truth of the Universe; they are just special cases of a more fundamental physics. 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 . Jan 16, 2007 - Between the demise of classical mechanics as a fundamental theory and the rise of special relativity there was a period of confusion during which physicists tried to modify classical mechanics in increasingly desperate ways to make . Oct 28, 2012 - If you are interested in studying more about neutron stars, white dwarfs, supernovae and neutron star production, the fundamental physics of electromagnetic radiation mechanisms, synchrotron radiation, particle acceleration models etc, then Astrophysics is the right Contemporary astronomical research involves various aspects of relativity, thermodynamics, quantum mechanics, electromagnetism, statistical mechanics, nuclear and particle physics and atomic and molecular physics. Feb 1, 2014 - Last year it was shown that if Hawking radiation is in a pure state, then either it cannot radiate in the way required by thermodynamics, or it would create a firewall of high energy particles near the surface of the event horizon. This course covers Newtonian mechanics, special relativity, gravitation, thermodynamics, and waves. It means lowest energy state but not zero energy (ie, energy in a sense of nothingness). Quantum physics does away with the pesky inconvenience of time I think that you misunderstood zero-point energy in quantum mechanics. Feb 15, 2013 - We review the question whether the fundamental laws of nature limit our ability to probe arbitrarily short distances. This is The fundamental idea of general relativity (the principle of equivalence) requires that if you are freely falling toward near the event horizon there shouldn't be a raging firewall of high energy particles. 6 days ago - At yovisto you might learn more about the principles behind steam engines and thermodynamics in the lecture videos of Prof. That physics is called quantum physics. Jul 15, 2011 - The videos are for those who have a good preparation in physics and mathematics. Nov 2, 2010 - Introduction to Relativity; Lorentz Transformation; Introduction to the Four-Vector; Four-Vector in Relativity; The Taylor Series and Other Mathematical Concepts; Simple Harmonic Motion; Simple Harmonic Motion (cont.) Fluid Dynamics and Statics and Bernoulli's Equation; Thermodynamics; The Boltzmann Constant and First Law of Thermodynamics; The Second Law of Thermodynamics and Carnot's Engine; The Second Law of Thermodynamics (cont.) and Entropy. May 24, 2014 - Neither quantum mechanics nor general relativity, the most fundamental theories in physics, provide a meaning for information or even a way of measuring it. First, we examine what insights These models have entered the literature under the names of generalized uncertainty principle or modified dispersion relation, and have allowed to study the effects of a minimal length scale in quantum mechanics, quantum electrodynamics, thermodynamics, black hole physics and cosmology.
