Remembering equations without understanding the content of equation is the mistake undergrads make this, however, may be useful in getting quick answer in multiple choice questions. Realizing simple subtle change in laws consistent with complex set of observed facts is the difficulty of a physicist at the level of Nobel Prize. Physics relates to Teaching & AcademicsPersonal Development Featured course Physics students also learn All Physics courses Not sure All courses have a 30. Simple but profound, and no reason why Poincare or Lorentz couldn't have taken that step forward.Įxplaining complexity from simple laws is the difficulty at the level of students solving every day problems in text books. Einstein realized that what is true for Maxwell equation should be universal and should be true for Newton's laws as well. Poincare and Lorentz almost had right stuff. Guass missed a simple idea that electric charge is conserved while with that simple idea Maxwell unified electricity and magnetism. Many times change is simple but subtle, and escapes greatest of minds. If anomolous observations, that is observations that do not fit the present model of nature, one needs to make changes so that new observation is explained without insonsitancy with explaination of other phenomenon. Experimenters were not dumb they were world class at the best laboratory in the world. (These sequences are both available at community colleges, and are offered every quarter at UW.) A strong performance in an AP, IB or A-level. But they found that there were experimental glitches. If you pursue a physics major, the first few quarters are independent of degree option You must complete one year of introductory physics and one year of calculus before you can declare a physics major. On the other hand may be there is an error in the observation itself you might have heard that recently CERN anounced that they found neutrinos travelling faster than speed of light contrary to Einstein's hypothesis. But then there may be anomolous observation, and actually the observation cannot be explained from the known laws of physics. That involves seriese of steps of logical deduction using mathematics. Now you have to explain all the observed phenomenon using these simple laws of nature.
You can write down all the known laws of physics on one page using compact language of mathematics, and the equations look very elegant.
