The adventure of physics - new book edition for free download
Christoph Schiller
I have put the new, twentieth edition of my freely
downloadable physics textbook in pdf form on
Over 1380 pages lead through the whole of physics, from
mechanics to relativity, electrodynamics, thermodynamics,
quantum theory, nuclear physics and unification. Many
explanations across the text have been improved, often
triggered by the input of readers across the internet.
Thank you to all of them.
The twentieth edition now contains a dozen animations
and films: generation and motion of electromagnetic waves,
leap-frogging vortex rings, jumping snakes, the propagation
of solitons and dromions, growing ice crystals,
rotating atomic orbitals, the actin-myosin system
in muscles in action, and Dirac's belt trick.
The twentieth edition also introduces robots that walk on
water, explains how to observe the polarization of light with
the unaided human eye (in the same way as honey bees do),
includes a clearer explanation of the curl of a function,
introduces dromions and the challenge to observe them in
everyday life, shows how to produce floating plasma clouds
similar to ball lighting, improves the explanation of quantum
mechanics, tells more about the Galilean satellites, tells
how to compare the density of the Moon and the Sun by looking
at the sea, mentions the world records for running backwards
and the attempts to break the speed sailing record, tells in
more detail how to learn from books with as little effort as
possible, includes thermographic images, shows a photograph
of each element, explains more clearly the generation of
electromagnetic radiation, presents the polarized car
headlight problem, and includes many new puzzles.
Enjoy the reading!

No picture, but an honourable mention on page 683:

solutions to the hièrarky problem. The Planck length is at which two
masses bear a gravital potential equal to their elèctric wavelength,
yet the two forces are still independent. Matter can bound smaller
lengths with more mass; it would only show as anharmònics and
harmònics for liht. The same for your "greatest force"
cccc/4G--where'd you get the /4?--there can be greatter forces with
more mass; one would put n or k before the ratio.
The forbidder of static levitation for charges, Earnshaw's thèorem and
the like, is rather circular. The gist: Levitation has no net forces;
net charges take and make forces; therefore, charges cannot be
levitated. But the proof is masked in a drouht of qualifiers. Dia-
solutions are spatially-variant fields; contact forces are one. Thus,
make a new, invisibil surface that is sufficiently "neutral" to float
the UFO. Ion winds wray to depolarise its medium.
I laid some problems that raise doubts about the existence of black
holes:

By not providing pictures of ufos, I effectively contributed
to all pages.

ufos are real
what, you never seen an ufo?
wrong, you did saw blinking airplains when dark,
they were ufos in disguise
disguising as blinking airplains is piece of cake for ufos

I'm must inform you, iyt...@execs.com, that because of the polluting
nature of your posts, into my plonker you go......

Is it worth your while to give the author some examples and an
indication how he can clean them up, or is it not worth the effort?
