PHZ-4601/5606 Special and General Theories of Relativity

Some interesting Web Sites:

• C-ship - explore special relativity through starship flight simulation.
• Relativity Links: Sites, movies, and literature.
• Fermilab or Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory - home of the world's most powerful particle accelerator, the Tevatron. Scientists from across the U.S. and around the world use Fermilab's resources in experiments to explore the most fundamental particles and forces of nature.
• CERN The European Laboratory for Particle Physics. This site contains information on CERN experiments, including those at LEP and LHC. There are many links to other physics sites.
• DESY The German electron synchrotron laboratory. This laboratory is the site of the electron-proton accelerator HERA and its two major experiments ZEUS and H1.
• The Particle Adventure - introduces the theory of fundamental particles and forces, called the Standard Model. It explores the experimental evidence and the reasons physicists want to go beyond this theory. In addition, it provides information on particle decay and a brief history section.
• SLAC (Stanford Linear Accelerator Center) Virtual Visitor Center. Learn about high energy physics experiments, accelerators, and detectors.
• Nobel Laureates in Physics 1901 - 2006 - contains a list in reverse chronological order of the award winners with brief biographical information and a description of the discovery taken from the Nobel Foundation's text describing each Laureate's discovery and other sources.
• An Interactive Journey Through Modern Physics
• Modern Physics Warning Labels One of my favorites - you can never be too safe!
• The Internet Pilot to Physics lot's of Physics related Web sites.
• The Greek Alphabet A table of the greek alphabet (upper and lower case) with a pronounciation guide.
