"Physics is littered with the corpses of dead unified field theories." -- Freeman Dyson
"The most significant event of the 19th century will be judged as Maxwell's discovery of the laws of electrodynamics. The American Civil War will pale into provincial insignificance in comparison with this important scientific event of the same decade." -- R.P. Feynman
Sci.Physics.Research Archive. S.P.R. is a moderated newsgroup, and so free of the crackpots that infest the other Usenet physics groups.
Relativity on the World Wide Web: Lots of references at all mathematical levels to the theory, as well as links to the observational and experimental evidence (lots) that supports it.
General Relativity Tutorial by John Baez. Based on a long discussion in sci.physics.
Black Hole Entropy. Another fine contribution by John Baez.
Annalen der Physik - Historic Papers. Two of Einstein's papers from the "miracle year" of 1905, including "On the Electrodynamics of Moving Bodies", in which he first outlined Special Relativity. In German.
Does Gravity Travel at the Speed of Light? Here is the answer to this common question.
See also my cosmology links.
Everitt and the Many Worlds Interpretation of Quantum Mechanics.
John Baez has a discussion of the Uncertainty Principle and an article on Bayes methods.
Physics and Postmodernism. See also Sokal's Paper. Here is a computer science view of the issue. Also worthwhile is Why I am not a Postmodernist. The author is a Medical Doctor, but the essay is relevant to physics, and indeed all sciences. The Postmodernism Generator is also an entertaining commentary on this issue.
