Cool Internet Physics Links

[spirit_wasa]

Hey.
Everytime i look at your posts im astounded at the wealth of resources you must have on your computer in the form of internet links i would appreciate it very much if you could email or U2U me a copy of them ones that you have maybe saved on your computer.
Also I would like to open this topic for all those people who believe they have got some mad sites so that we can all enjoy them. There may be a topic like this elsewhere in the forum but i would have to go searching for it.
:D:D:D Thank you all :D:D:D

I took the liberty of renaming your post so it matches want you want for it to become and it\'s more descriptive.

Attention Xerxes didn\'t quite translate to Cool links ;)

Here\'s a few in no particular order:

Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page)
Becoming just about the best guide to everything. A free collaborative encyclopedia.

Arxiv (http://arxiv.org/)
For advanced reading on physics, astronomy, math and CS, a free archive of current (1990ish to present) research papers.

Mathworld (http://mathworld.wolfram.com/) and Scienceworld (http://scienceworld.wolfram.com/)
Mathworld is a great encyclopedia of mathematics. Scienceworld isn\'t as good, but sometimes you can find articles covered in more detail than you would in the Wiki. While you\'re there, also check out Wolfram\'s great function library, and sacrifice a goat or something in praise of Mathematica, the greatest tool for analysis since C.

Google groups archive of sci.physics.research (http://groups.google.com/groups?hl=en&lr=&ie=UTF-8&group=sci.physics.research)
Like all of Usenet, it\'s filled with inane ravings and gibberish, but you can glean the occasional gem too. Focuses mainly on mathematical physics.

John Baez\'s Stuff (http://math.ucr.edu/home/baez/README.html)
This is the guy who made s.p.r better than most of the dreck on UseNet. His personal webpage is fantastic too. While you\'re there, check out the UseNet physics FAQ, which is good for answering those tricky questions beginners like to stump physicists with.

Particle Data Guide (http://pdg.lbl.gov/)
Absolute best reference for anything you want to know about the fundamental particles and the hadrons. Also has some simple guides to particle physics topics like scattering and relativity.

Superstring Theory (http://superstringtheory.com/)
The best place to pick up some string theory. They have two tracks: one for beginners, one for the brave. The track for the brave is actually a pretty good introduction to string theory.

Nine Planets (http://seds.lpl.arizona.edu/nineplanets/nineplanets/nineplanets.html)
A pretty good overview of the solar system. I think it\'s starting to age a bit now tho.

NIST Constants and Units (http://physics.nist.gov/cuu/index.html)
The definitive site on units and physical constants. While there, you can check out their database of atomic spectral lines (if you like that sort of thing).

Hyperphysics (http://hyperphysics.phy-astr.gsu.edu/hbase/hframe.html)
A more introductory site. I like how you can bounce around between related topics tho. It\'s fun to browse around.

Interactions (http://www.interactions.org/cms/)
A new site that collects news about experimental particle physics.

Eurekalert (http://www.eurekalert.org/pubnews.php)
A news site. Mostly biology, but interesting stuff from a lot of fields. You have to be careful because occasionally they let a crazy press release get through.

Live Events at D0 (http://www.fnal.gov/pub/now/live_events/XYview.html)
A fun place where you can see a real-time selection of high-energy scattering events in the D0 detector at Fermilab.

Effects of Peanut Butter on the Rotation of the Earth (http://www.improb.com/airchives/classical/articles/peanut_butter_rotation.html)
You know you always wondered what effect it has.

Have fun. :D

Nice xerxes they are good ones. I especially like the peanut butter one :puzzled::puzzled::puzzled: What the ??:puzzled:?
I loved the string theory one. It has a fair bit about edward witten i have so much respect for him. He is a clever fella.

Sorry If anyone has a problem with Snoop Dog.

Here\'s some examples.
