New to physics, very interested,

[Lennartb]

Hello, first let me start by introducing myself, my name is Lennart Bendfeldt, i am in high school and I am a junior. I cannot take physics until next year but I really want to learn about it now.

What i am saying is, are there any books/websites, videos I can watch or read to learn physics? I'm very interested in physics after reading Michio Kaku's book physics of the impossible. You guys seem like a nice bunch and i was hoping you could help me with what to start with (:

Hello Lennart,

First of all, welcome to the world of physics! It's great to hear that you are interested in learning about this fascinating subject. There are many resources available for you to start learning about physics, even before taking a formal course.

One suggestion is to start with some introductory books on physics, such as "Concepts of Physics" by H.C. Verma or "Fundamentals of Physics" by Halliday and Resnick. These books are designed for beginners and will give you a good foundation in the fundamental principles of physics.

In addition, there are many websites and videos that offer free educational content on physics. Some popular ones include Khan Academy, Crash Course, and Physics Classroom. These resources offer interactive lessons and practice problems that can help you understand the concepts better.

Another great way to learn about physics is through hands-on experiments. You can find many simple experiments online that you can try at home with basic materials. This will not only help you understand the concepts better, but also make learning more fun and engaging.

Finally, don't hesitate to reach out to your teachers or other experts in the field for guidance and resources. They will be happy to help you on your journey to learning physics.

I wish you all the best in your physics journey and I am sure you will find it both challenging and rewarding. Keep up the curiosity and enthusiasm, and you will go far in this field. Good luck!
