This is a free, open-source online book series dedicated to explaining theoretical physics in a more accessible way. The ultimate goal is that anyone with a high-school education (and sufficient diligence) should be able to work their way up to understanding modern theoretical physics on a graduate (if not PhD) level. It is very work-in-progress at the moment, but with time, it can hopefully grow to become a useful learning resource.
"You ask me if an ordinary person—by studying hard—would get to be able to imagine these things like I imagine. Of course. I was an ordinary person who studied hard. There's no miracle people. It just happens they got interested in this thing, and they learned all this stuff. They're just people.
There's no talent or special miracle ability to understand quantum mechanics or a miracle ability to imagine electromagnetic fields that comes without practice and reading and learning and study. So if you take an ordinary person who's willing to devote a great deal of time and study and work and thinking and mathematics, then [they've] become a scientist." Richard Feynman
We are also working on compiling this book series into a more traditional book format, which will be freely available as PDF files to download, with paperback/hardcover copies available as cheaply as possible. This is not available yet but we will announce once it is.

Additionally, nothing on this site is paywalled - everything on this site will remain forever free, with only the paperback/hardcover versions of the books (if we get them published in the future) sold commercially.
