Usenet Physics Frequently Asked Questions
Obviously a must read for every liberal arts and humanities grad. The List
likes to go out of its way to broaden the already soaring horizons of its
members.
"This is the web version of the Usenet Physics FAQ (Frequently Asked
Questions). Its purpose is to provide good answers to questions which have
been discussed often in sci.physics and related usenet newsgroups. The
articles in this FAQ are based on those discussions and on information from
good reference sources." - from the website
For answers to those inexplicable little puzzles of life, like "Why are
golf balls dimpled?" and "Which way will my bathtub drain?", this is the
site to visit. Of course, there are answers to rather more esoteric
questions such as, "What is the mass of a photon?" and "Do tachyons exist?"
The "Physics FAQ" is a plain and unvarnished site with "just the facts" but
nonetheless valuable for that.
