Money Posted August 30, 2007 Share Posted August 30, 2007 what theorys and laws should i read up on or that have a lot to do with astronomy, phyics, jus science in general for example/ the theory of relativity, laws of thermodynamics what other ones should i read up on help appreciated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iNow Posted August 30, 2007 Share Posted August 30, 2007 Hmmm... What is your goal? You're basically asking us to share with you the entire galaxy in 10 words or less. Can you give more detail? Btw... my first thoughts were Kepler, Copernicus, Maxwell, and Darwin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gib65 Posted August 30, 2007 Share Posted August 30, 2007 im askin wat theories and laws should i read up on I'm just going to throw out: the second law of thermodynamics and maybe game theory for economics and skinner's theory of language acquisition for psychology. -1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Severian Posted August 30, 2007 Share Posted August 30, 2007 im askin wat theories and laws should i read up on All of them. Only then will you have a complete overview of science. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Money Posted August 30, 2007 Author Share Posted August 30, 2007 but i dnt know wat all of them are thats why i would liek you guys to tell me the name of sum astronomy, physics, space, related like the theory of relativity, or laws of thermodynamics wat are the names of other laws and theories that are important to the topics i named Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Questiontwo Posted August 30, 2007 Share Posted August 30, 2007 Thank you iNow and gib65, I'm also interested and have copied those names and theories and will go look them up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although I think your question is phrased a little poorly, I think I know what you're asking for. My recommendation is to look at the sub-forum titles under "physics" on the forum index page here at SFN. Those are the major threads in the fields you seem to be interested in. I would strongly recommend starting with classical mechanics since the rest is extremely hard to understand without a strong background in this.

Try this then: Six Easy Pieces - Richard Feynman Six Not-So-Easy Pieces - Richard Feynman The Magic Furnace - Marcus Chown Black Holes and Time Warps - Kip Thorne Origin of Species - Charles Darwin Just a couple off the top of my head, so don't stop there. Learning this stuff is more of an approach to life... a path... than it is a final destination. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are interested in astronomy or astrophysics, a strong background in Relativity, Cosmology, and Quantum Mechanics is a must. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
