GATEWAY TO PHYSICS

A principal benefit of the Internet is that we can distribute free computer simulations to teach physics. Currently the world's most comprehensive starting point is

• http://ourworld.compuserve.com/homepages/anima/gateway.htm

A page of links to relativistic flight simulators may be found at

• http://ourworld.compuserve.com/homepages/anima/rfslink.htm

with free computer movies to show you travel near the speed of light.

The physics pages of various libraries (Yahoo, Galaxy, WWW-VL) are at

• http://www.yahoo.com/science/physics/

• http://galaxy.einet.net/galaxy/Science/Physics.html

• http://www.fisk.edu/vl/Physics/Overview.html

Two specialist services for physics are TIPTOP and PhysLINK at

• http://physicsweb.org/TIPTOP/

• http://www.physlink.com

and a useful German-language service is MM-Physik at

• http://www.wuerzburg.de/mm-physik/homep.htm

For astronomy there is Astroweb at

• http://www.stsci.edu/astroweb/astronomy.html

Our favoured general-purpose search engines are Infoseek, AltaVista and MetaCrawler at

• http://www.infoseek.com

• http://www.altavista.digital.com

• http://www.metacrawler.com
