Learn Physics Quick and Easy While Discovering Some Million Dollar Ideas.
We are collecting and organizing the greatest physics lectures and tools available today. Pull up a chair and discover our world as no generation as ever had the opportunity to do before.
Physics is the mother of all inventions. It can explain every physical phenomenon known to mankind, and if it can't, it's working on the solution. Every branch of science and engineering is based on the fundamentals of physics. Every invention is created and improved upon through physics. Physics is the basis of all physical knowledge known to us. The Internet you're working on, the computer you're typing on, and even the electrical cord that's plugged into the wall, are only here because of physics. If it wasn't for physics, there would be no inventions, no cars, trains, planes, computers, modern medicines, lights, radios, TV's, or toasters, in other words, our lives would be quite boring.
By learning just a tiny bit of physics you will discover extraordinary and sometimes "seemingly magical" secrets on how our world works. Through physics you will learn the fundamentals of how to invent machines to improve our world which by the way, occasionally make some physicists extremely rich and famous.
Physicists are often classified as the most brilliant of us, (such as Albert Einstein), and many of them are, yet they are also the most curious. And how do you separate the overly curious from the brilliant anyway, we probably can't. Most of them possess a childlike curiosity and revel in the mystiques of the universe and the laws of physics that God has laid down for all things to abide by. Their curiosity allows them to discover, observe, and capitalize upon strange phenomena from distances as close as their kitchen tables to the vast reaches of the other side of the universe.
So if you think you would enjoy knowing how everything works, how to invent new and marvelous machines and devices that can make the world a better place, how to explain to your friends and family why the sky is blue, how a radio works, or how to build a nuclear reactor. If you have always had a top secret idea of a killer invention that will make you a zillionaire while changing the world, but just never knew exactly where to begin, then don't run off, you've found the "Holy Grail". Prepare yourself for a wonderful experience that will open thousands of new doors into your wonderful world.
Because of physics we now have the Internet and now anyone can take physics (FOR FREE!), from some of the greatest Physics Professors of all time! So jump in and have the time of your life! And invent something new while you're at it.
How To Get Started.
