PHYSICS - The Science of Common Sense THIRD EDITION
A thorough understanding of physics is one of the cornerstones of a scientific education-but it is often hindered by the density of the subject matter. In a series of informative physics papers, Prof. Jacob V. Kainnady offers an accessible-and at times, controversial-assessment of complex physical phenomena.
Some new concepts introduced in this book are - the product law and its applications, nuclear and particle shocks and the resulting mass defects, nucleons sharing their mass defects and the explanation of nuclear forces, discrete half waves which correlate classical and quantum physics, speed of light and the energy per unit mass, conversion factor in a physical equation.
Prof. Kainnady's approach to physical observations in this book is the following. He draws the reader's attention to various physical observations and walks them through his in-depth analysis. He proceeds to raise thought-provoking questions, some never asked, and some never answered. Then he provides his own sensible answers. In some cases, the answers are based on existing laws; in others, the answers lead to new logical predictions. Despite the intricacies of his topics, Kainnady makes his physical discussions intelligible to anyone used to making commonsense observations-in many cases, no background in physics required!
In this book, Prof. Kainnady raises thoughtful questions about the method in which some physical principles are discovered and accepted for centuries. He also makes logical, sometimes revolutionary, predictions that may add new chapters to physical science. Kainnady's new findings and observations have the potential to generate lively and productive debate in established academia, while providing an informative introduction to all those hoping to expand their understanding of basic-and not so basic-physics.
