Physics Intro by Dr. Donald Luttermoser | ETSU

Click For Summary

Discussion Overview

The discussion centers around introductory physics resources, including books and online materials, as well as a conceptual inquiry into the nature of the universe following the Big Bang. The scope includes resource sharing, educational materials for children, and theoretical discussions related to physics concepts.

Discussion Character

  • Resource sharing
  • Conceptual inquiry

Main Points Raised

  • Dr. Donald Luttermoser introduces the thread, likely providing context or resources related to physics education.
  • Participants share various online resources and e-books that could be helpful for learning physics.
  • One participant requests recommendations for children's physics books that feature illustrations and simple explanations of fundamental laws.
  • Another participant suggests "Advanced Physics for you" by Keith Johnson as a potential resource.
  • A participant poses a question about whether the transition of matter from energy after the Big Bang could be considered a "phase transition."

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants generally agree on the value of sharing resources for learning physics, but the discussion about the nature of the Big Bang and phase transitions remains open and unresolved.

Contextual Notes

Some responses may depend on the definitions of terms like "phase transition," and the inquiry into the Big Bang is speculative and not universally accepted.

thanks for you great efforts
 
Thank you very much, friends

Could you find a book where I can find itnro to physics for children with fine pictures and easy explanations of fundamental physics laws
 
^Advanced Physics for you by Keith Johnson.
 
At the point after the Big Bang when matter "condensed out of" energy, might that in any way be thought of as a "phase transition"?
 
It is really helpful. Thanks a lot..
