Physics Planet

Welcome to Physics Planet. We aim to educate our visitors in various aspects of physics that they have an interest in. We've written on a few dozen topics, and will continue writing until the site becomes a virtual textbook.

Physics is probably the area of science that the general public have the greatest interest in because it looks at vital questions with philosophical and practical ramifications. Astrophysics can tell us about the origins of the universe while physics also enables nanotechnology which will allow smaller and smaller devices that might one day save our lives through tiny medical devices, or allow us to have a computer embedded into the palm of our hands.

Our biggest sub-section at the moment is on astrophysics, one of the most researched branches of physics. We are also working on a new website spinning off from this topic dedicated to our solar system and space exploration, which should be online soon.

This summer we're planning a major expansion in the number of articles as well as updates to existing articles to include more interactivity. We more than welcome any suggestions for future articles or revisions of existing ones.
