Description
Balungi explains deep ideas in physics in an easy-to-understand way. Think Physics is a series aimed to solving the big problems in physics. The book targets topics that researchers and students spend time wondering about, like the origin of gravity and the universe. It also goes into the theories that seem right but are wrong and shows why they are wrong a rarity in science books. Think Physics series is a rigorously correct, lighthearted, and cleverly...

In 1900, the British physicist Lord Kelvin declared "There is nothing new to discover in physics. All that remains is to more accurately measure its quantities" today, hardly anyone would dare say that our knowledge of the universe and everything in it is almost complete. There are still some deficiencies in the standard model of physics, such as the origin of mass, the strong CP problem, neutrino oscillations, matter-antimatter asymmetry and the...

The first successful field theory was created by the Scottish Physicist James Clerk Maxwell in the mid-19th century—the electromagnetic field theory.
Then in the early 1900s, Einstein spent 30yrs of his life developing a unified field theory but all in vain. One limitation with Einstein's work was at first his rejection, and then his ignorance of quantum theory. Einstein was motivated by an intellectual need to unify the forces of nature. He felt...

Since high school, I have been rebellious to how physics derivations are presented with difficult and confusing mathematical tools. I am not used to deriving physics laws using the same mathematical tools that our forefathers of physics used (the same found in various physics text books), which I find not only confusing to me but to the entire scientific community who are categorized as the "Silent Majority". I try so much to tackle the problem from...
