Physics-T is a learning program for physics students, teachers and other people curious about relativity, entropy, least-action and symmetry in the laws of nature. It provides a new level of interactivity through run-time technology. Teachers may use the included authoring tools to create lessons for use in the classroom or for independent study.

Physics-T is an odd title but it seems appropriate. The letter T in the title reflects the fact that this book covers topics that provide a Transition from first year physics courses to more advanced subjects for the physics student or a Taste for the curious non-physicist of those topics usually reserved for physics professionals. The lessons are not rigorous treatments of the topics covered but serve to make some of the concepts of advanced physics accessible to the generally educated public. We aim to make the conclusions seem reasonable, not inevitable. We hope that the physics student would come away with a sense for where the advanced courses are going so that he or she might not lose sight of the goal while struggling with the details. We also hope that non-physicists will gain some insight into the inner workings of the universe.
