New series "Physics Concepts Explained"

I have been itching to write more about physics recently, and so I will! I am starting a series of blog posts where I’d like to explore some of the most interesting concepts in physics such as

• quantum mechanics is not that hard: a post demystifying quantum mechanics and showing how it’s a natural extension of classical physics,
• fundamental forces are just symmetry: a post detailing the deep connection between symmetry, conserved quantities and fundamental forces in physics. (coming soon!)

I am a theorist at heart, so expect these posts to come from a mathematical point of view rather than be rooted in experimental physics. Of course, good science is first and foremost anchored in reality and what is measured by experiments, rather than lost in the weeds of mathematics. But these articles are not frontier research, think of them as review material of well-understood concepts in physics: in this context, I find using a mathematical approach a posteriori helps understanding the deep connections between all these quantities. You can find all posts for this series using this tag.
