Looking for some good websites for Physics and Cosmology

[42Physics]

I've been looking for a few websites good for Cosmology and Physics, maybe you guys can help? I'm in 8thgrade, but I can comprehend a lot, just try to stay away from websites that have excessive technical math please. All posts are appreciated.

Here's a few you might find useful:

Ned Wright's Frequently asked questions about cosmology is non-technical and very well written:
http://www.astro.ucla.edu/~wright/cosmology_faq.html#CC
You might also want to navigate to his home page and explore from there.

Physics Made Easy is very good, but doesn't shy from math:

Hyperphysics provides a great mind-map with brief and to the point outlines of the subjects with references and further reading:
http://hyperphysics.phy-astr.gsu.edu/hbase/HFrame.html
(cosmology is covered in the astrophysics section)

Charles Lineweaver's publications are generally accepted as excellent pedagogical material.
This one here might be a bit daunting in places, but still very accessible:
http://ned.ipac.caltech.edu/level5/March03/Lineweaver/Lineweaver_contents.html

I've found another detailed breakdown of the subject of Big Bang cosmology at TalkOrigins.org:
http://www.talkorigins.org/faqs/astronomy/bigbang.html#evidence
It's more from the "debunking the creationsts" angle, but looks scientifically accurate. Maybe somebody else can verify that.

Believe it or not youtube is a great place to search, just about every aspect of science is covered with multiple video's explaining the same thing using slightly different analogies.

Hi there,

Thank you for reaching out for recommendations on websites for Physics and Cosmology. I can understand the importance of finding reliable and informative resources for learning about these complex subjects.

One website that I highly recommend for both Physics and Cosmology is Physics.org. This website provides a wide range of articles, videos, and interactive simulations on various topics in both fields. The content is presented in a user-friendly manner and does not require a strong background in mathematics to understand.

Another great website is NASA's official website for Cosmology and Astrophysics. This site offers the latest news and discoveries in the field, as well as informative articles and videos that are suitable for a general audience.

For more interactive learning, I suggest checking out the Khan Academy website. They offer free online courses on Physics and Cosmology, with lessons broken down into easy-to-follow videos and practice exercises. The material is suitable for students of all ages and does not require advanced math skills.

I hope these recommendations are helpful to you in your learning journey. Remember to always check the credibility of the sources you use and never hesitate to ask questions if you need clarification on any concepts. Best of luck in your studies!
