A physics problem you need to solve! ⚖️🪢 In this video, we break down a classic physics scenario involving two masses attached to a spring, with gravity acting on them. Learn how to approach the ...
Quantum theory and Einstein's theory of general relativity are two of the greatest successes in modern physics. Each works ...
For more than a century, gravity has been the stubborn outlier in physics, resisting every attempt to merge Einstein’s smooth space-time with the jittery world of quantum mechanics. A new wave of ...
A theoretical proposal published in the journal Reports on Progress in Physics is making some bold claims about our previous understanding of quantum physics. Mainly, that we were wrong. The proposed ...
In a bold step toward solving one of science’s most puzzling problems, researchers have proposed a new way to bring gravity into the same mathematical language as the other forces of nature. While the ...
The weak gravitational pull on a particle just half the mass of a grain of sand has been measured for the first time. This most precise measurement of its kind is a breakthrough towards the quantum ...
Cavendish-like: A schematic diagram of the proposed experiment on gravitational interaction between two torsion balances. Two torsion pendula are placed with their equilibrium orientations (dashed ...
I rarely write much about it in my research papers, but every piece of science I have ever done either assumes the correctness of general relativity – our most fundamental theory for explaining ...
One style, which some people refer to as a “waterfall” gravity bong, uses the negative pressure of water falling out of a bottle to pull air through the plant material and fill the chamber with smoke.
