Classical Works on Physics, online?

AI Thread Summary
Classical works on physics can be found online, though free resources are limited. The Gutenberg Project offers some texts, including works by Einstein and Poincaré, searchable under "physics." Additionally, organizations like APS/AIP and the Royal Society have previously made their classic journals available for free during special centennial celebrations, but these opportunities are often time-sensitive and may no longer be accessible.

Can I find classical works on Physics online somewhere?
 
Physics news on Phys.org
I would love to know the answer to this question too. There is probably not much available for free. You might try the Gutenberg project

http://www.gutenberg.org/catalog/world

A search for "physics" returns some things by Einstein and something by Poincare.

Often, you have to be ready at just the right time. Both APS/AIP (for the Physical Review Journals) and the Royal Society had short periods where they made all their "classics" publicly available. These were during some big n-centennial kind of celebration. Window gone - opportunity lost.
 

Thread 'What are the best A-Level options for someone wanting to do Physics?'

Bit Britain-specific but I was wondering, what's the best path to take for A-Levels out of the following (I know Y10 seems a bit early to be thinking about A-levels, but my choice will impact what I do this year/ in y11) I (almost) definitely want to do physics at University - so keep that in mind... The subjects that I'm almost definitely going to take are Maths, Further Maths and Physics, and I'm taking a fast track programme which means that I'll be taking AS computer science at the end...

Thread 'Hepth programs in Europe'

After a year of thought, I decided to adjust my ratio for applying the US/EU(+UK) schools. I mostly focused on the US schools before, but things are getting complex and I found out that Europe is also a good place to study. I found some institutes that have professors with similar interests. But gaining the information is much harder than US schools (like you have to contact professors in advance etc). For your information, I have B.S. in engineering (low GPA: 3.2/4.0) in Asia - one SCI...

Thread 'Should I pursue a masters degree after 4.5 years working in IT?'

I graduated with a BSc in Physics in 2020. Since there were limited opportunities in my country (mostly teaching), I decided to improve my programming skills and began working in IT, first as a software engineer and later as a quality assurance engineer, where I’ve now spent about 3 years. While this career path has provided financial stability, I’ve realized that my excitement and passion aren’t really there, unlike what I felt when studying or doing research in physics. Working in IT...
