Physics books/papers for the layman.
I'm pretty much a laymen when it comes to physics, I really only joined this forum to get a few specific questions answered but now my curiosity about physics in general has been piqued, but I find that I can't understand most anything that's discussed regarding physics. So are there any basic books to read to provide basic understandings and provide outlines of important principles/properties/laws/theories?
I'm a sophmore in high school, and in my school district the progression is:
Freshman - Geology
Sophmore - Biology
Junior - Chemistry
Senior - Physics
So I have very little knowledge of anything
Areas I'm particularly interested in:
- Electricity
- General Quantum physics (a sort of introduction)
- A good biography on Newton containing lots of information about his works.
- A simmilar biography of Tesla
