TV, personal computers, automatic sliding doors, electron microscope, GPS, MRI scan and other such technological applications make our lives better. In the early 20th century, a number of important discoveries and theories were put forward – discovery of electron and internal structure of atom, photoelectric effect, Einstein’s relativity and quantum theory to name a few. Most ideas were beyond human comprehension, some of the theories were bizarre! In this book we will understand the basics of modern physics in a way that anyone can appreciate the relevance of modern technology in our ...

Something Is Missing. Something Enormous. You are made of almost nothing. Not in a philosophical sense. In a literal, measurable, scientific one. Every atom in your body, every star you have ever seen, every planet, moon, and galaxy that astronomers have ever cataloged in the entire history of human observation. All of it, every single piece of matter in the known universe, amounts to less than five percent of what exists. The rest is dark. Silent. Invisible. Unknown. Stop for a moment and let that land. Ninety-five percent of the universe is missing, and no one knows what it is. This is ...

Learn how to think like a physicist with these six classic and beloved lectures delivered by Nobel laureate Richard Feynman “If one book was all that could be passed on to the next generation of scientists it would undoubtedly have to be Six Easy Pieces.” ―John Gribbin, New Scientist It...

By blending historical insights with fresh scientific perspectives, you’ll discover: A Forgotten Concept: Why the idea of the ether was abandoned—and why ...

Thousands of years before modern science smashed the atom, an ancient Indian sage held a single grain of rice and unlocked the secrets of the cosmos. Long before the era of particle accelerators and quantum mechanics, a solitary ascetic named Sage Kanada - known to history as the "Atom-Eater" - walked the vibrant forests of ancient India. Through profound meditation and razor-sharp logic, he peered through the solid illusion of the physical world and discovered the Paramanu: the eternal, indestructible, invisible seed of reality. But The Vaisheshika Sutras is not merely an ancient textbook ...
