Tensors Explained: Beginner’s Essentials for Relativity

January 11, 2023/0 Comments/in FAQs, Physics Articles, Physics FAQs, Relativity/by Isaac0427

If you try learning general relativity, and sometimes special relativity, on your own, you will undoubtedly run into tensors. This article will outline what tensors are and why they are so important in relativity. To keep things simple and visual, we will start in two dimensions, and in the end, generalize to more dimensions. COORDINATE…

A Different Way of Looking at Quantum Mechanics

September 2, 2020/0 Comments/in Education Articles, Physics Articles, Quantum/by Isaac0427

This Insight describes a self-built quantum mechanics course designed for students who lack prior training in differential equations or linear algebra, requiring only introductory calculus and classical mechanics. The course derives the postulates of quantum mechanics from the Stern-Gerlach experiment and the wave-particle duality rather than stating the Schrodinger Equation as a given rule, then…
