Cf. https://www.physicsforums.com/threads/new-free-book-on-amperes-experimental-researches.840650/ here. A. K. T. Assis has written some free books on the history of electricity and magnetism. See all Assis's books here.

What are the most frequently cited __________ textbooks in the physics literature? Where __________ is: thermodynamics quantum mechanics classical mechanics electromagnetism etc. ? I'm looking for lists based on citation statistics. Surely there are citations data out there on this.

I have a B.S. in physics. Am I qualified for entry-level jobs in nuclear engineering?

Check out HPS.

Some good ones I found, which all advocate Weber's electrodynamics: Wesley's https://archive.org/details/SelectedTopicsInAdvancedFundamentalPhysics Assis's Weber's Electrodynamics Assis's Relational Mechanics or his 2014 update, Relational Mechanics and Implementation of Mach's Principle with...

Historically, I can only think of http://www.encyclopedia.com/topic/Pierre_Maurice_Marie_Duhem.aspx#1, whose first thesis in physics was rejected, but his second thesis in mathematics was accepted. But, Are there other famous physicists who wrote a PhD thesis that was subsequently...

Oh, yes! That's probably the greatest physics book of the 20th century.

What are some open problems in the interplay between Quantum Mechanics and the 2nd Law of Thermodynamics? thanks

What are some medical jobs that someone with a BS in physics could take? thanks

How do I know that if I don't know the alternatives and whether they're less or more accurate than SR or GR?

What is a good book on alternative theories of Special and/or General Relativity?

Is there any free (open) high school physics textbook available online? Thanks

Has anyone here heard of such a thing as being immediately rejected from a grad school just because admissions didn't receive all the letters of recommendation? This just happened to me. They didn't even notify me; prior to this they lost my unofficial transcript, but they actually did notify me...

Yes, but how can geometry cause forces? Isn't force a change in momentum? Doesn't force imply movement? If a force isn't doing work, how is it a force? Yes, but what causes the constraint force, if not inertial effects?

Are fictitious forces and constraint forces the same thing?
