Physics Phenomena Encyclopedia

In summary, the conversation is about the speaker's search for a Physics-Encyclopedia and their recommendation for a book called "the physics book" by Clifford a. Pickover. They also provide a link to where the book can be purchased and mention the benefits of buying books online instead of from physical bookstores.

Since I couldn't start a thread in the learning materials section , I thought this would be a suitable place. I am searching for some sort of Encyclopedia , as the title suggests , I need a Physics-Encyclopedia which covers quite a lot of ground(Classical Physics to Modern Physics). The main reason as to why I am looking for an encyclopedia is to check out phenomena that are alien to me and go into further details and learn about them from external sources.. so basically as a reference. I'd really appreciate amazon links or simply a title with authors name :) Thanks !

I recently picked up a book called "the physics book" by Clifford a. Pickover, it's a book that goes over lots of different physics break throughs and phenomena. It has everything from black diamonds at 3 billion bc to quantum resurrection predicted to happen at 100 trillion ad. The book is pretty large and very easy to read and follow. I would definitely recommend it.

Sorry i forgot to post a link. Here is one https://www.amazon.com/dp/1402778619/?tag=pfamazon01-20.
By the way that is probably the best price you will find seeing as i paid 30 dollars for mine from Barnes and noble. When it comes to buying books stay online cause when you buy from most book stores you're paying for the name or the ambiance.

Not to worry I found an ebook version (:
