Help a High School Senior with Physics and Mathematics

AI Thread Summary
A high school senior seeks assistance in finding reading materials for Physics and Mathematics, expressing difficulty due to limited access to technology. Participants suggest narrowing down the topics and recommend Richard Feynman's "QED" as essential reading for those interested in advanced Physics. The senior is unsure about their specific interests in the subjects and is looking for mentorship. They inquire about affordable options for obtaining the recommended books, highlighting financial constraints. The discussion emphasizes the importance of accessible resources and guidance for students pursuing these fields.

I am new here. I was hoping to get someone to help me. I am a senior in High School. I am hoping to get into Physics and Mathematics. I hace tried to find some good reading material for these subjects. I haven't had much luck due to the fact that I am in the middle of a technology black hole. If there is anyone out there that can help me I would love it.

Well 'Physics and Mathematics' is rather a broad topic! Perhaps you could narrow it down a little?

In the meantime, ANYONE interested in higher level Physics should read Richard Feynman's QED. It is required reading for pretty much any higher Physics course. A truly great book.
 
I am reading feynmans lectures on physics. It was a 2 year class he taught at caltech. I was hoping to find someone who is extremely good in one of these areas that would kinda take me under there wing. Cause where I come physics is what makes the bullet hit the duck. "ANYONE interested in higher level Physics should read Richard Feynman's QED." what is that. I don't really know exactly what I want to get into cause I really don't know all to much about the subject.

Then read QED, if you are into Physics, it will really get you going and inspire you. If it leaves you cold, you are a mathematician

Where do I go to get something like that. Is it something that I can download. Cause I can't really afford to buy these books. If I do have to buy this book where would I be able to get it. Thank you for your help.

Thread 'Is there a white hole inside every black hole?'
This is what I am thinking. How much feasible is it? There is a white hole inside every black hole The white hole spits mass/energy out continuously The mass/energy that is spit out of a white hole drops back into it eventually. This is because of extreme space time curvature around the white hole Ironically this extreme space time curvature of the space around a white hole is caused by the huge mass/energy packed in the white hole Because of continuously spitting mass/energy which keeps...
Why do two separately floating objects in a liquid "attract" each other ?? What if gravity is an emergent property like surface tension ? What if they both are essentially trying to *minimize disorder at the interfaces — where non-aligned polarized particles are forced to mix with each other* What if gravity is an emergent property that is trying to optimize the entropy emerging out of spin aligned quantum bits
