About me and why I created this physics website.

Physics Essays

I put together a collection of physics essays covering a wide variety of topics. These essays are a useful resource for anyone who has a writing assignment in physics, or just wants to learn some physics. Unlike much of the material on this website, these essays contain minimal or no math, and explain topics in a manner that a non-scientist can understand.
