  • Feynman Lectures Simplified 1A

    Basics of Physics & Newton's Laws

    by Robert Piccioni ...
    Series series Everyone's Guide to the Feynman Lectures on Physics
    As a Caltech undergraduate, I had the amazing opportunity to learn physics directly from the greatest scientist of our age. He had an uncanny ability to unravel the most complex mysteries, reveal the key underlying principles, and provide a profound understanding of nature. His style and enthusiasm were as important as the facts and equations.It’s a great shame that so many had so much difficulty ... Read more

  • General Relativity 2: Spacetime Curvature

    by Robert Piccioni ...
    Series series Everyone's Guide Series
    This book continues our exploration of the most profound theory of science, Einstein’s General Theory of Relativity. We examine more carefully the properties of spacetime, the unity of space and time. We explore the major features of curvature, how to measure it, and how to reduce its complexity to finding distances between nearby points. We find a simple expression, 2M/r, which proves ...

  • We Are Stardust

    by Robert Piccioni ...
    In this book we will explore stars, their essential role in our universe, and their intimate connection to us. We will discuss what stars are; how they are born; the delicate balance of their lives; their spectacular deaths that lay the foundations for rebirth; and how they enable the existence of all living creatures. We will explore how stars made the atoms in our bodies and why those atoms ... Read more

  • Searching for Earth 2.0

    by Robert Piccioni ...
    Series series Everyone's Guide Series
    From the 16th century onward, scientists began to understand that the stars in the heavens are suns much like our own. They started to wonder whether those other suns had their own planets. And if so, they wondered, could any of those planets be like Earth. Profound questions, but how could we answer them? Stars are typically a million times brighter than the planets that huddle near them. This ... Read more

  • A World Without Einstein

    by Robert Piccioni ...
    Most people know that Einstein was a great scientist, but many think his theories are so esoteric and purely academic that they have nothing to do with our daily lives.Wrong!In our technology-driven society, where even toothbrushes contain microcomputers, Einstein’s legacy is everywhere. This book explores the incredible degree to which we all rely on his discoveries.I designed this book to be ... Read more

  • Black Holes, Supernovae & More

    by Robert Piccioni ...
    Series series Everyone's Guide Series
    This book continues our exploration of stars. Here we discuss the spectacular ways in which stars die, creating supernovae that are some of the most violent events in our universe. We also explore the exotic remnants of these explosions: white dwarfs, neutron stars, and particularly, black holes. We examine how black holes can grow as massive as small galaxies, and how they can evaporate through ... Read more

  • Our Universe 2: Redshift, Expansion, & Dark Energy

    by Robert Piccioni ...
    Series series Everyone's Guide Series
    This book continues our exploration of cosmology, the science of the universe as a whole. One of the most profound questions in cosmology is: Has our universe existed forever, or did it have a beginning? Philosophers, theologians, and scientists have argued both sides of this debate, for millennia. The first observational evidence came in 1929 when American astronomer Edwin Hubble announced his ...
