So since the textbooks on particle physics, offered on our list of free physics books, are so popular, I dug up some more of them. “Particle Physics” from Intech includes a theoretical discussion of Higg’s mechanism and alternatives to the Standard Model. “Particle Physics and Inflationary Cosmology” by Andrei Linde covers an overview of theories of particle physics and their relations to cosmology. Finally, the last one is an introduction to groups, invariants and particles. For...

The book contains 3 interesting chapters on astrobiology, cosmology and astrophysics. The second book in the list, “Advances in Modern...
In the best-selling biography titled “Erwin Schrodinger and the Quantum Revolution” John Gribbin tells the story of one of the frontmen and leaders of the quantum revolution — Erwin Schrodinger. Schrodinger was not only an ingenious physicist, but also a serial seducer entwined in countless affairs, stories of which make this book one of the most controversial biographies in physics. So let’s have a closer look. Author: John Gribbin Paperback: 336 Publisher: Wiley; 1 edition (2013) ISBN-10: 1118299264 ISBN-13: 978-1118299265...
I am a big fan of any type of public domain and open access stuff on the internet, especially when it comes to science and education. The great thing is that there is a lot of free science content online including helpful websites, one of which I recently stumbled upon. It is a website called InTech, which offers a few hundred open access books to online users in fields raging from psychology to nanotechnologies. Among...
It’s been a while since we’ve seen a video with Stephen Hawking so let’s check out one of his public lectures delivered in 2009 at Geneva University. In this lecture Hawking discusses the problems of cosmology and his own work. Regarded as one of the great physicists of modern times, Hawking’s work in search for the theoretical framework for a Unified Field Theory has lead him to some truly remarkable conclusions in his career...
When it comes to puzzle books (and puzzles in general) they either bore me to death or keep me hooked for a long time. And now that I mention it I don’t recall that many puzzle books that were actually really good. However, among the few gems, which kept me interested for quite some time, one book stands out as being fun and unique. It is a puzzle book called “The Moscow Puzzles: 359...

The great red planet has always fascinated us and the most likely reason for that is that it is both one of the closest planets and one of those planets that might have had suitable conditions of sustaining life at some point in its history. Naturally, due to these reasons, Mars became a popular destination for space exploration.
