You're sitting in physics class, working on a traditional problem involving forces and acceleration, when you start to wonder where these terms even came from. Were they just dreamed up to bring ...

I have a problem. I admit it. Isn't admitting you have a problem the first step to recovery? My problem is Angry Birds Space. I just can't stop trying to figure out how this stuff works. Oh, I am not ...

A team of engineers studying the 500-year-old, backward writings of Leonardo da Vinci have found evidence that the Italian polymath was working out gravity a century before its foundations were ...

Speaker one We’ve been using Sir Isaac Newton’s theories for hundreds of years and still use his equations today. Now, how can we test Newton’s second law using equipment found in our laboratory?

Physics, particularly forces and motion, can be challenging. By observing everyday motion, conducting simple experiments, and understanding Newton's laws in plain language, the concepts become more ...

Despite decades of effort, a theory of quantum gravity is still out of grasp. Now a group of physicists have proposed an experimental test of whether gravity is quantum or not, to settle questions ...

Physics, especially the part about forces and motion, often feels like a maze of confusing concepts and formulas. If you’ve ever stared at a problem about an object moving or a force acting and ...
