This course covers Newtonian mechanics, special relativity, gravitation, thermodynamics, and waves. Posted in: Physics, STEM video clips, Students, Video. So he is implicitly contrasting Thermodynamics with that and making Thermodynamics more fundamental than Quantum Mechanics. Even one of the four fundamental forces, the weak nuclear force, may not be necessary to support life: Tipler uses fine-tuning evidence for his argument, but he also draws from thermodynamics, quantum mechanics and special relativity. A good resource He also has a (much longer) essay which clarifies many points of confusion with thermodynamics -- but which I must emphasize is not an introduction to thermodynamics; his points wouldn't make sense without a preexisting context of thermodynamics and statistical mechanics. Jan 10, 2012 - For instance, many of the fundamental constants surrounding high-energy physics could vary significantly and still sustain life. Jul 18, 2008 - This week, I'm writing on those topics which caused a revolution in the science, and distinguish modern physics from classical: relativity and quantum mechanics. The Boltzmann Constant and First Law of Thermodynamics. The Second Law of Thermodynamics (cont.) and Entropy. I'm sure Einstein was aware of this flaw in his general statement, so, although first law .. Dec 22, 2013 - Physicists therefore do not believe that conservation of energy holds for the whole universe (although there is still local conservation of energy in general relativity). Jan 12, 2011 - Emphasis is placed on problem solving and quantitative reasoning. The Second Law of Thermodynamics and Carnot's Engine.
