Introduction
Theoretical Physics Reference is an attempt to derive all theoretical physics
equations from the general and special relativity
and the standard model of particle physics.
The goals are:
- All calculations are very explicit, with no intermediate steps left out.
- Start from the most general (and correct) physical theories (general
relativity or standard model) and derive the specialized equations from them
(e.g. the Schrödinger equation).
- Math is developed in the math section (not in the physics section).
- Theory should be presented as short and as explicitly
as possible. Then there should be arbitrary number of examples, to show how
the theory is used.
- There should be just one notation used throughout the book.
This is a work in progress and some chapters don’t conform to the above goals
yet. Usually first some derivation is written, as we understood it, then the
mathematical tools are extracted and put into the math section, and the rest is
fit where it belongs. Sometimes we don’t understand some parts, then those are
currently left there as they are.
