Physics anyone?

So how likes Physics? I love Physics so basically talk about anything that has to do with Physics I will start.

Internal energy is the sum of temperature (ke) and phase (pe) conditions.
Steam and liquid water molecules at 100 degrees have equal kinetic energies.
Degrees Kelvin (absolute temp.) Is equal to zero (0) degrees Celsius.
Temperature measures the average kinetic energy of the molecules.
Phase changes are due to potential energy changes.
Internal energy always flows from an object at higher temperature to one of lower temperature.

I have a love/hate relationship with physics. In that I love it when I can solve the problems and hate it when I can't.

Sadly, physics were only a part of the first semester at my university, but I loved this subject. I particularly liked the chapters on energy.

i am also interested and fascinated by physics. I have though spent far to little time getting into the the subject. The only real book i have read on the subject is Relativity: The Special and the General Theory by Albert Einstein i do though understand physics quite easily.
Could anyone recommend a good general book on physics ?
i am also interested in theoretical physics but i know little of it. my other interests get in the way of me entering the glorious path of the physicist

Thank you for reminding me... I still need to crack open that giant physics book for class next semester.
F=MA.

My favorite part of physics is theoretical physics because you never know what the correct answer is until all the ticks are checked.

I looked it up. It seems to be a great work though it also is expensive. I will have to get it when i have some money. (if the city liberty does not have it)

I love physics. I aced it in high school without even making an effort.

But I don't know how much there is to actually talk about.
I enjoy just studying the behavior of the universe around me than actually discussing it.

Feynman Lectures, have 'em, luv 'em.

But. . . I wouldn't consider it "basic".
It is very math oriented.

If you have a story about how things connect before you "learn" physics you will be better off.

Survey technologies - metalworking, woodworking, ceramics, semiconductors, and engineering drawing (abstraction skills) . . . *then* read Feynman and you will have references in the real world to connect to.

Asimov's "Guide to Science" was really helpful for me, but it's pretty old


I quit physics when it got theoretical.
It has an error so it *can't* make sense- 80% of the universe is missing.
(I eventually fixed it but no physicist will accept a solution from "outside")
