Foundations of Modern Physics

Are you curious about the fundamental nature of reality, from the smallest particles to the vastness of the cosmos? This course provides a clear and accessible introduction to modern physics, transforming your understanding of space, time, matter, and energy. What you'll learn: * Understand the core postulates and implications of Special and General Relativity. * Grasp the fundamental principles of quantum mechanics, including wave-particle duality and quantum states. * Explore the structure of atoms, the behavior of subatomic particles, and the Standard Model of particle physics. * Apply foundational concepts to analyze key experiments and phenomena in the history of modern physics. * Develop a conceptual framework for understanding the early universe and basic cosmological principles. The course begins with an exploration of classical physics limitations, then systematically introduces the revolutionary ideas of relativity and quantum mechanics, building up to atomic, nuclear, and particle physics. This course is designed for absolute beginners with no prior knowledge of modern physics, and no advanced mathematical background is required. Begin your journey into the fascinating world of modern physics today.
