Quantum Physics
Quantum physics is based on quantum theory. The first idea about quantum theory was from Max Planck in 1900. He proposed that energy was not emitted continuously but rather in quanta i...

Quantum Theory
Quantum theory is the basis of the modern understanding of most branches of physics. At the turn of the twentieth century, many physicists assumed that physics was almost totally figure...

Many Worlds/Many Minds Interpretation of Quantum Mechanics
The many worlds/many minds formulations of quantum mechanics are reconstructions of Hugh Everett III's (1957a, 1957b, 1973) relative-s...

Quantum Mechanics
Quantum mechanics has the distinction of being considered both the most empirically successful and the most poorly understood theory in the history of physics.
To take an oft-cited e...

LIGHT
In the everyday sense of the word, it seems like a simple thing: but it is a subject for serious consideration. I am exploring here the role of light in relativity, not its nature. Light has al...
