| This collection of links has
been in existence since 1995. It is regularly maintained, with new links
being added and others retired or repaired as Internet resource sites come
and go. New links are not always immediately categorized. Obviously a site
such as this has content that reflects the interests of its producer. For
me, space travel and engineering are such interests and following a summer
session at the Perimeter
Institute for Theoretical Physics in Waterloo, Ontario I can now add
photonics and quantum physics to that list. |

| This collection of physics links
has been amassed over more than ten years, beginning in late 1994. These
resources have been loosely grouped. They are revised from time to time.
Inevitably, in such a large list as this there will always be dead links.
I'm most appreciative of e-mails pointing out such links. My first course
of action is always to see if the resource has moved elsewhere, the
reasoning being that if a physics person took the time to create a useful
page or site in the first place, then it is likely to be as useful today
as when it was listed here initially. |
