We will describe the problems they faced and show how they solved them, and we will do this using their own methods and in their own words. By the time you finish the course on Aristotle, Galileo, Newton or Einstein you will be reading the works of these great men yourself. You will see them struggling forward getting it wrong until they finally get it right - making new science. When they stumble you will see that they are people just like you, not distant demi-gods. We believe that in this way people can lose their fear of science and mathematics.
Physics lives in the works of the great physicists.
If you have mastered their papers then you have mastered physics. We think you will find as we did that Galileo on rolling balls down inclined planes, or Newton on gravity, is dramatically more interesting than what you learned in high school. The reason is that physics, like every other human activity, has its own flow and life. To tap back into this flow we have returned to the greatest minds who have ever thought about the natural world. You can understand these works of genius.
