WikiMechanics

Starting with a discussion about Sensation

• This wiki starts from the premise that we can understand physics by describing what we see, hear and feel. This is not a radical proposition. A central concept in science is that all evidence must be empirical.
• The description starts in the plain English you might read in a newspaper. Specialized terms are defined as we go along.
• This wiki is accessible to the adventurous lay reader. The level of mathematics used is mostly high school algebra. Calculus is not required.

We take a Journey

• This is a wiki of exploration. It is a work in progress where you are invited to participate.
• The journey is not for the intellectually timid. We have to critically review some old assumptions.
• It will also be necessary to consider some philosophical points that rarely show up in physics textbooks.

Toward some interesting Destinations

• The underpinnings of Newtonian mechanics.
• Some patterns in the nuclear particle data.
