If you have started studying physics, or are thinking about doing so, probably some bibliography would be useful as part of your first steps in the field. Indeed, there are hundreds of interesting books to learn physics , and we are going to review some of them.
The idea is that, regardless of whether you stay with one or several, you have the possibility of deepening your knowledge in this science, thus discovering new worlds, the same ones that fascinated almost all these authors that we are going to review, with an undoubted legacy in the universe of physics.
“Quantum Electrodynamics: The Strange Theory of Light and Matter”, by Richard Feynman
Feynman was an important North American theoretical physicist who received the Nobel Prize in Physics thanks to his work on quantum electrodynamics , although he is also accused of being a necessary participant in the development of the atomic bomb, during World War II.
In this book, he simplifies many of the concepts in this area of physics, based on a series of talks he gave in the early 1980s, highly valued by his followers.
“Why E = mc2 ?: And Why Should We Care?” By Brian Cox and Jeff Forshaw
These British physics professors participated in several BBC documentaries and series that revolve around science, although without a doubt their most relevant work is the book in question.
If the equation E = mc2 is the most famous when we start in physics, they intend to address the other ideas that arise from it, reaching unimaginable points, such as the hadron collider . Along the way, they run through many of the basic questions for beginners and enthusiasts.
“Cosmos” by Carl Sagan
Carl Sagan is one of the most recognized astronomers by the general public, and his books have the peculiarity that they are written for people who “do not know science.”
Therefore, newbies will find in “Cosmos” a book divided into several chapters, in which the themes of the homonymous series are addressed, covering the history of the cosmos and its origin.
“Very brief history of time”, by Stephen Hawking
Stephen Hawking needs no introduction as one of the most distinguished physicists of all ages, and in his “Very Brief History of Time” the cosmologist shines like so many times.
With three decades of publication, it is an update of the previous “Brief history of time”, in which Hawking tries to be even more entertaining with the growing consumer of physics books , no longer a student of this science, but rather curious about its statements more basic.
