Eric L. Michelsen (I'm on the left), UCSD graduate physics
student “Daddy, I’m going to do an experiment. So if you hear a loud explosion, don’t be scared.” While discussing shrinking things: Daddy: That’s as small as we could make it. You can’t have anything smaller than an atom. Ethan: You could have a quark! |

The purpose of the “Funky” series of documents is to help develop an
accurate physical, conceptual, geometric, and pictorial understanding of
important physics topics. We focus on areas that don’t seem to be
covered well in most texts we’ve seen. The documents are intended
for serious students of physics. They are not
“popularizations” or oversimplifications, though they try to start
simply, and build to more advanced topics. Physics includes math,
and we’re not shy about it, but we also don’t hide behind
it. Without a conceptual understanding, math is gibberish. These
are all works in progress. Now with PDF
hyperlinks!

Let there be peace on
earth, And let it begin with
me. Let there be peace on earth, The peace that was meant
to be. All one with creation, Family all are we. Let me walk with my
family In perfect harmony. Let peace begin with me, Let this be the moment
now. With every step I take, Let this be my solemn
vow: To take each moment And live each moment In peace eternally. Let there be peace on
earth, And let it begin with
me. |
