Introduction

   Since I have a little bit of spare time, I thought I would give you all an introduction to this blog and what it will be about.

   I will endeavour to simply explain physics and astronomy in layman's terms to those who find the subjects interesting or fascinating. The first posts will be primarily about the birth of modern physics with anecdotes about such famed scientists as Kepler, Galileo, Newton, and Copernicus. These lessons will build the framework of later studies of the unification of electricity and magnetism in Maxwell's equations, Einstein's relativistic universe, Hubble's discovery of other galaxies and the fact they are moving away, the big bang theory, and other such discoveries. Then, we move into a realm where common sense in our everyday terms is violated and objects are in two places at once: the bizarre world of quantum mechanics. We will revisit electromagnetism here as well as quantum tunneling, the nature of the atom and its constituents, the weak and strong nuclear forces, quantum electrodynamics (QED), quantum chromodynamics (QCD), and quantum theory's impact on our technology. Later on, more in-depth discussions about the big bang theory will arise, the nature of dark matter and dark energy, antimatter, the newly developed negative energy, string theory, higher dimensions, parallel universes, wormholes, and the quest for the theory of everything and the unification of physics.

   Well, there you have it. Don't expect me to follow along that schedule precisely, I'm going to be tempted to skip some of the more dull subjects (yeah, I heard the people who just said, "It's PHYSICS, it's ALL DULL!"). Anyways, please stay tuned for more, I hope to post soon, Until then, salutations!
