an online textbook explaining the basic science behind much of RV technology |
Hiking beyond space and time along the concepts of modern physics. -- How do objects move? Why do they move? What is motion? Why does it exist? -- What effects can motion have? Is levitation possible? Is it possible to build a time machine? What does 'quantum' mean? Is empty space really empty? Is the universe a set? Which problems in physics are still unsolved? -- The Motion Mountain Textbook Project publishes a free physics textbook that tells the story of how it became possible, after 2500 years of study, to answer these questions. In an entertaining and challenging way, with little mathematics, it tells why classical physics, relativity and quantum theory must be explored, how they can be summarized in simple terms, why it is necessary to advance into regions where time and space do not exist, and what wonders can be discovered there. The text, written in English, presents at least one new surprise and one new challenge on each of its over 900 pages. The book is written for students and for everybody who is interested in physics and in the precise description of nature. |
