Solid State Physics: Solid State Physics - Ashcroft, Neil W, Mermin, David N Special Relativity: Classical Mechanics - Point Particles And Relativity - W. Feb 5, 2014 - Hawking especially forged a very important link between information, relativity, thermodynamics and quantum mechanics through his exploration of what we now call the “black hole information paradox”. Nov 2, 2010 - Introduction to Relativity; Lorentz Transformation; Introduction to the Four-Vector; Four-Vector in Relativity; The Taylor Series and Other Mathematical Concepts; Simple Harmonic Motion; Simple Harmonic Motion (cont.) Fluid Dynamics and Statics and Bernoulli's Equation; Thermodynamics; The Boltzmann Constant and First Law of Thermodynamics; The Second Law of Thermodynamics and Carnot's Engine; The Second Law of Thermodynamics (cont.) and Entropy. There are many of these, some believed to be more fundamental than others. This course covers Newtonian mechanics, special relativity, gravitation, thermodynamics, and waves."

Greiner; Introduction to the theory of relativity and the principles of modern physics - H. Callen; Thermodynamics and statistical mechanics - Greiner, Neise, Stoecker. Since the advent of the very elegant theory of General Relativity, physics has suffered because of its inability to bring a fundamental symmetry into its theories: relativity of scale. Jan 27, 2013 - New ideas in physics often explain the fundamental mechanisms of other sciences, while opening new avenues of research in areas such as mathematics and philosophy. Modern physics started with the works of Max Planck in quantum theory and Einstein in relativity, and continued in quantum mechanics pioneered by Heisenberg, Schrödinger and Paul Dirac. Many physicists believe Quantum mechanics or general relativity could be shown to be facets of some grander underlying theory, but thermodynamics will likely remain as a framework inside which all other physical theories must fit. Hawking's work on singularities connects to . Placed on problem solving and quantitative reasoning. Dec 21, 2010 - Thermodynamics: Thermodynamics and an Introduction to Thermostatistics 2ed - H. Jun 25, 2010 - Modern physics contains at its core the assumption that there are simple, knowable rules that govern the behavior of the world around us.
