Physicist.fsnet.co.uk
NAP Books Online! Some are FREE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! BRILLIANT SITE! Just found it. A must for all scientists!!!
COSMOLOGY : A Research Briefing * Cape Town University Online General Relativity Course (Not too helpful as its not the best layout possible - was that dyplomatic enough?) * Matters of Gravoty - American Physical Society Topical Group in Gravitation
The science that can give us the most fundemental answers to the second most asked question: Why does the universe exist? Which is the parent question to the most asked question: What is the purpose of life?
I find the ideas in cosmology interesting as they answer philosophical questions, and can tell us where we came from, how we got here, and where we are destined to go! If we are destined to go anywhere!
This is a good source of semiconductor physics !!
Physics / Science Links
Here are a few sites I think are useful to studying Physics, and also the Science Stuff links give some good general help to Scientists! THEY ARE NOT IN ANY PARTICULAR ORDER!
An appeal on behalf of Physicist.fsnet.co.uk! I need help on this page, as the site is called Physicist.fsnet.co.uk, it should really have a bit more quality in the Science links. So please let me know of Physics / Science links that are vaguely A level to 4th year Undergraduate level! Cheers!
Physics information
BUBL How did I work before finding this? It holds all the information, within it's links, you will ever need.
For Physical Sciences click on BUBL Links / 5.15, then scroll down to Physical Sciences. Then choose your topic from loads!
DCTech Physics Physics search engine, information and software. (You'll find this on there if you search physicist)
The Science Explorer - Physics
PhysLink Excellent site! Useful Tables, Quotes, Information, Physics Phun (Fun - sorry), e-cards... (This link doesn't comply with copyright, it will be sorted soon! The official link is on the home page of this site. Apologize to PhysLink.com!)
IoP The Institute of Physics gives up to date Physics news and views.
PEERS The Physicist's Encyclopaedia of E-mail Records, a free international directory of e-mail addresses for anyone working in physics or science. Provided by the Institute of Physics.
TIPTOP PhysicsWeb's Physics Gateway
PhysicsWeb Very Good site! IoP members get 3 FREE e-journals
Physical Societies A list of the Physical Societies listed in national order.
Physics Encyclopaedia Very Good! Haven't used it very much yet but looks very promising!
HyperPhysics "It's virtually a full Physics textbook" (Mike Yu, 2nd Year Undergrad UoL) I haven't really used it so I can't comment!
HotQuanta A personal homepage which has excellent Quantum Mechanics info for the first and second year undergraduate!
UniverseToday Excellant site with the latest news stories and pictures from the cosmology and astrophysics community. It is written to be accessible to all!
NASA * Hubble Space Telescope * NASA Space Science * NASA and ESA's SOHO
FREE Online Physics Textbooks
Note : These books are in .pdf (Portable Document Format) form so you'll need Adobe Reader to access them. Also some parts of the font may not be available on your computer so you will find that some parts of the text have black dots where certain letters are meant to be!!
Light and Matter Physics textbooks for you to download, and they're free! Very good series of books, they are well illustrated unlike many downloadable books I've found, and seem to be well written. They are intended as itroductory undergraduate books, but may be worth looking at if your in higher years of your first degree or in last years of senior school / college.
Motion Mountain This is a all in one book that is 6.01Mb, so can take abit of time to download. The illustrations aren't as good as Light and Matter, but it is still a good textbook. It seems to me to be a bit more indept or at a higher level than Light and Matter, so if you find those books to simple for your level of education try this book.
Physics For Free Two Physics textbooks free to download in .pdf form. No illustrations from what I saw, which to me would be help as it makes the subjects easier to understand! These books are written by the Professors of Physics at Yale University in the States. Seems to be a high level book.
Please let me know of more!!!
Resources - These are worth looking at!!
Integrator Are you stuck on a calculation, specifically an integral? Well click here and you can get a "Mathematica" powered answer!
Physics Convert This will convert physical quantities from one units to another. Includes Mass, Length, Area, Volume,..., Energy, Power,..., Phase Angle, Luminosity,..., Time, and Temperature, with many units for each! This is an amazing program that is less than 200kB in size!! Download this and put it on your desktop! (Shareware.com)
Science Stuff / Information
SciSeek EXCELLENT SITE! If your doing a school, college, university science project visit this site!! Search for your science project and loads of results to choose from! Its a Science Search Engine!!
NASA Live!! You need Real player for this. You can watch mission crontrol LIVE!
Nobel Prize and Nobel Prize Winners This site has all the info on the Nobel laurettes in all the catagories; Literature, Peace, Medicine, Politics, Physics, Chemstry,... Very good resource!!
The Royal Society You've watched the Christmas Lectures! This is the organisation that does them. "The RS started in 1645, and given Royal status in 1662. Robert Boyle (Boyle's Law (Pressure times Volume of an idea gas is a constant)), Cristopher Wren, and Isaac Newton (little known Physicist and Accamamist) were prominent early members." (The Hutchinson Encyclopedia of Science)
The Royal Greenwich Observatory Good site.
The British Association for the Advancement of Science! Fancy name, can't say I've heard of them though. They seem to be the ones behind all those Science Festivals, and the National Science Week.
The Science Explorer Looks good, but haven't used it much. Let me know what you think.
ScienceNet I think it is like Science Daily below.
Science Dialy An internet science magazine with indept info to search for.
SETI@Home Whether you believe in them or not, Extra-Terrestrials may exist! Whether they are sending messages to us is another question, but is the one that SETI is trying to answer, and YOU can do your bit. Just download the SETI@HOME screensaver software and when you connect to the internet it downloads information that YOUR computer analyses to determine if you have discovered ET! (below is a screenshot of my SETI@Home screensaver)
