If you want to discover the captivating life of Galileo Galilei, then keep reading...
Galileo Galilei's contributions to modern science were so fundamental to a variety of fields that even though he died almost 400 years ago, his name retains international acclaim. This 17th-century natural philosopher is often credited with the invention of the telescope thanks to his many discoveries using that specific instrument, and though he was not, in fact, its inventor, the myth still persists. Indeed, Galileo was responsible for a series of upgrades to astronomy's brand-new tool during the early part of the 1600s, and it was largely his innovative techniques that changed a somewhat mediocre magnifying glass into a revolutionary device.
He was also the first to use his powerful telescope to look at the Moon, planets, and stars and discover just how much there truly was out there beyond the realm of ocean, land, and clouds. His observations of the solar system were the first of their kind, and they helped cement a theory that had been appearing and disappearing from European philosophy for centuries: that the Earth was not the center of the universe.
Galileo published his theories regardless of the danger and struggled to deal with the repercussions of doing so. His amazing career was characterized by a tenuous balance between publishing the truth of his discoveries and maintaining good relationships with the people in power. Like so many other great people of that age, Galileo was born not far from Florence, Italy, making him a product of the continent's foremost trendsetter during the Renaissance and Scientific Revolution.

Описание: From Newton to Einstein is a book devoted to classical mechanics. "Classical" here includes the theory of special relativity as well because, as argued in the book, it is essentially Newtonian mechanics extended to very high speeds. This information is expanded from the author's popular Q&A website, a site aimed primarily at general readers who are curious about how physics explains the workings of the world. Hence, the answers emphasize concepts over formalism, and the mathematics is kept to a minimum. Students new to physics will find discussion and quantitative calculations for areas often neglected in introductory courses (e.g. air drag and non-inertial frames). The author gives us a more intuitive approach to special relativity than normally taught in introductory courses. One chapter discusses general relativity in a completely non-mathematical way emphasizing the equivalence principle and the generalized principle of relativity; the examples in this chapter can offer a new slant on applications of classical mechanics. Another chapter is devoted to the physics of computer games, sci-fi, superheros, and super weapons for those interested in the intersection of popular culture and science. Professional scientists will find topics that they may find amusing and, in some cases, everyday applications that they had not thought of. Brief tutorials are given for essential concepts (e.g. Newton's laws) and appendices give technical details for the interested reader.

Are You A Physicist? Doing Quantum Physics the right way is so much more fun for scholars and putting a smile on our faces while calculating and researching is all we need, right?
What more do we ask from a physicist with a passion for formulas and a wild desire for physical theory development?
The only thing that we need in order to keep improving and building our scientific achievements is a unique approach to keeping an organized mind about it.
That is why you should gift yourself with a unique, fun, yet smart present that will impact your success and productivity with physics.
Here we go...
Start your next theory off with a plan, a perfect calculus plan, that is.
Ditch the old, boring notepad, and go with this stylish new graph paper notebook that has been specifically designed for physicists like you.
Our 5x5 graph paper, also known as 'engineering' paper has five squares per inch, so each square measures .20" x .20"
It is frequently used for math or science purposes for teens and adults. The larger quad rule sized squared paper may be better for younger children.
Graph paper has many uses. Here are some possible ones: Design projects, mapping for board/video/roleplay games, designing floorplans, tiling or yard landscaping, playing pen and pencil games, planning embroidery, cross stitch or knitting.

Michael Idvorsky Pupin was a scientist and inventor whose important contributions include the long-distance telephone line, and advances in X-ray radiation.
Pupin's route to renown was unconventional; born in the small village of Idvor in Serbia, he managed to emigrate to the United States at a young age. Nearly penniless upon arrival at Castle Garden in New York City, he spent five years working in a series of laboring and factory jobs, while learning languages in his spare time. The hardships he endured in this period - in which he dubs himself a 'greenhorn' - are detailed. Eventually he managed to pass the entrance tests for Columbia College, and tutors soon recognized his keen scientific aptitude and potential.
This autobiography pays tribute to the Serbian culture, toward which Pupin strived to retain an affinity - despite becoming accustomed to the sophistication of America, his rural roots are fondly remembered. Indeed, the author is conscious of being a member of a cultured, urban intelligentsia, in sharp contrast to the humble country upbringing he had in his home country.
Pupin's passion for science and innovation is evident as he describes travelling to further his studies in the Universities of Cambridge and Berlin. Keeping informed of advances in physics and chemistry, the newest advances in which served as groundwork for his own practical innovations.
