ADDITIONAL WEBSITES

The following are Websites that have something to do with physics. With each is a short description.

http://prettygoodphysics.wikispaces.com/l

This is a Wikispace Web site that put together by a group of AP graders. It was designed to allow AP physics teachers a common place where they could put "stuff" they thought was useful. The site has two parts, one in which anyone (yourself included) can access. In that section under "books" (in the left-hand column), you will find my text available for download. The other part requires a password as it is solely for physics teachers. If you ever find yourself in a situation where you need physics-related resources, prettygoodphysics is definitely a place to look.

http://www.spitzer.caltech.edu/Media/mediaimages/data.shtml

These are visuals from the space telescope Spitzer. The site is coauthored by JPL and Caltech.

http://chandra.harvard.edu/edu/

This is the site for the Chandra X-ray observatory. It is authored by Harvard University. The site has a great Photo Album.

http://imagine.gsfc.nasa.gov/

This is a kind of newsletter from the NASA Goddard Space Center. Again, it has great space photos.

http://amazing-space.stsci.edu/resources/explorations/blackholes/lesson/whatisit/graphics/blackhole-full.mov

Very cool 20 second movie starting from outside a galaxy moving in to the black hole at its center. (It is obviously an animation, but looks real.)

Black hole animation.

http://www.msnbc.com/modules/spacegallery/

MSNBC Space and Technology news site. Looks like some neat graphics there.

Spinning black hole animations. Looks like nice graphics.

Extension of site just above.

http://www.cosmicastronomy.com/infinity.htm

Speculative site--I haven't read through it, so it may be complete BS. On the other hand, it has some spectacular graphics, so take a look but read with a skeptical eye.

http://library.thinkquest.org/18188/english/universe/theory/relativ2.htm#

Site devoted to General Relativity.

http://ircamera.as.arizona.edu/NatSci102/lectures/physicallaws.htm

Site devoted to Physics Applets (Physlets).

http://www.phys.unsw.edu.au/einsteinlight/jw/module4_time_dilation.htm#time

Site devoted to relativistic time dilation, length contraction, and simultaneity.

http://www.howstuffworks.com/first-time.htm?referer=

Off-the-wall science site. Has some cool stuff.

http://freespace.virgin.net/steve.preston/

Site that explores the science inside science fiction.
