Most interesting WEB pages on physics

AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on identifying high-quality web pages about physics, emphasizing rigorous content and appealing graphics while avoiding forums and unreliable sources. Recommendations include the Bilbao Crystallographic Server for detailed information on crystal symmetry, and Hyperphysics, which offers a broad range of topics despite its basic design. The Usenet Physics FAQ is mentioned for its informative content, while Wolfram MathWorld is noted for its mathematical focus that includes relevant physics concepts. Users are encouraged to share additional suggestions that align with these criteria. The goal is to compile a list of valuable resources for studying various physics topics, particularly relativity and electromagnetism.

I'm looking for a list of the most interesting pages on physics, on the internet.

By "most interesting", I mean pages which are rigorous, well done graphically, and no discussions boards/forums and NO crackpots ! It could be simulations applets, papers, Wikipedia articles, etc. I prefer things on relativity theory (special and general), or on electromagnetism, but it could also be on classical mechanics and quantum mechanics, as you prefer.

What are your suggestions ?
 
Physics news on Phys.org
The Bilbao Crystallographic Server

Everything you ever wanted to know about space groups, crystal symmetry and so on. And then some...
 
Hi! I really don't know which level you are after, but here are some I remember...

Hyperphysics has a great scope IMO. Could be made more beautiful, though.

I like the Usenet Physics FAQ too, but graphically it's very basic :smile:.

Have to mention Wolfram MathWorld too, even though it focuses on mathematics.
http://mathworld.wolfram.com/ There are physics in there as well, e.g. Lorentz Transformation.
 
So I know that electrons are fundamental, there's no 'material' that makes them up, it's like talking about a colour itself rather than a car or a flower. Now protons and neutrons and quarks and whatever other stuff is there fundamentally, I want someone to kind of teach me these, I have a lot of questions that books might not give the answer in the way I understand. Thanks
