How to Understand Physics - Modern Physics: For Anyone Who is not Afraid of Emojis

A Physics Book that Anyone Can Understand

• Do you want to learn physics without the need to learn calculus?
• Do you want a book that gives a rigorous understanding of Physics?
• Do you wish NOT to be treated like a child, an idiot, or a dummy?
• Do you want to avoid doing tests or homework or solving problems?
• And you are not afraid of Emojis.

This book, “How to Understand Physics—For Anyone who is not afraid of emojis,” is what you want. I discuss all the topics of a university physics course using physicist language and rigor but without the need to take a course in calculus. To understand physics, all you need to know is the meaning of the symbols, the emojis we use. Physicists and mathematicians have given us all the answers. We do not need to prove them again. The intent is to satisfy/enrich the curious mind of the reader and enjoy the magnificent world of physics. The book contains many graphics, and the equations' meaning is clearly explained. Many everyday, exciting observations are sprinkled throughout the book. The derivations that could interest you are relegated to the appendices.

This book is purposely divided into six volumes. This allows you to buy those volumes that cover your interests or keep different volumes open simultaneously on the desk or computer.


Rgus us volume 6, MODERN PHYSICS. We start with atomic physics, explaining Bohr’s atom, the many elementary particles that create all matter, and the four forces of nature (Gravitation, Electromagnetic, Strong and Weak forces). Next, we explain Einstein’s relativity theory with all its weir but proven consequences, including the space-time diagrams. Then, Quantum Mechanics, its interpretation, the Heisenberg uncertainty principle, quantum numbers, and entanglement, including several medical machines and quantum computers. The fourth chapter explains nuclear physics, Fission, and Fusion. We end up describing many devices such as the GPS, MRI, LASER, and the quantum mechanical computer, and more that can only be explained by Quantum Mechanics.

The other five volumes are:

• Volume 1—The Physicists’ Toolbox—All the math emojis and general physics concepts you need to understand this book
• Volume 2 – Mechanics – Covers motion, forces, energy, and work.
• Volume 3 – States of Nature and Thermodynamics – properties of solids, liquids, and gases. Heat laws and properties, thermal devices, and engines.
• Volume 4—Electricity and Magnetism – Fields, electromagnetic waves, voltage and current, and semiconductor devices and applications.
• Volume 5—Light and optics—Light properties, mirrors, lenses, and optical instruments.

Anyone can use this book as a reference or review, but the primary audience is individuals who want to understand real physics without struggling with mathematical complexities.

Dr. George Domingo obtained his Ph.D. at UCLA. He started his career as an engineering faculty at Northrop University (11 years), worked in industry on infrared detector technology (20 years), and led the development of the infrared detectors for the SPITZER and JWST astronomical observatories (15 years) as an employee and consultant of NASA. He published two books, “Introduction to Electrical Engineering” and “Semiconductor Basics” and numerous papers.
