Modern Physics Applications

Abstract

There is much in modern (20th century) physics that cannot be explained by classical physics, but also much that can. Even when classical physics is inadequate, the classical quantities of momentum and energy are still an essential part of our understanding.

Modern Physics Concepts

J. Kenneth Shultis, Richard E. Faw

During the first three decades of the twentieth century, our understanding of the\nphysical universe underwent tremendous changes. The classical physics of Newton\nand the other scientists of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries was shown to be\ninadequate to describe completely our universe. The results of this revolution in\nphysics are now called "modern" physics, although they are now almost a century\nold.

DIALOGUES ON MODERN PHYSICS

Mendel Sachs

In this book, important conceptual developments of the two major revolutions of modern physics - the quantum and relativity theories - are presented in a nonmathematical, dialectical form of dialogue. The implications of conflicting philosophical attitudes of these revolutions in physics and applications to topics such as cosmology/astrophysics and high energy physics are emphasized. It is argued that for any substantial progress in our understanding of 21st century physics, it will be necessary to resolve these 20th century conflicts. These richly rewarding dialogues provide a starting point
