What's a good physics book for beginners that teaches math too?
The highest degree I have is a high school diploma that I got last year and the most advanced math I've taken is applied geometry and 11th grade physical science for science. I've been interested in physics (and astronomy) for a while now and I've learned a lot of stuff about it from...- Drops of Fire

Undergrad Interacting gravitational fields
How do gravitational fields interact with each other? Because the Earth is in the Sun's and the moon is in the Earth's and the sun's. I think ocean tides on Earth is an example of it, but is there anything more specific? What is happening to an area of space inside multiple gravitational fields?- Drops of Fire

Undergrad Testing whether gravity bends light
The experiment Einstein proposed that supposedly proved successful kind of confuses me. If you can prove a beam of light bends when near the sun, how can we prove that from Earth with a picture because by the time we're able to see it to take a picture, the light has already gone passed the sun...- Drops of Fire

Physics Theoretical Physicist: A Normal Day & Salary
I've recently been getting interested in physics and astronomy and have even thought about going to school and starting a career in physics. Of course, this is just consideration and I'm going to learn more about it and different jobs before I even think about taking any kind of step further. Of...- Drops of Fire
