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 ...

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 ...

This new propulsion system could rewrite the rules of spaceflight—not to mention completely defy conventional physics.

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 ...

A unified Theory Of Everything is the holy grail of physics, but gravity refuses to play ball. A newly proposed theory attempts to unify Einstein’s theory of gravity with quantum mechanics – and ...

The best way to find buried treasure may be with a quantum gravity sensor. In these devices, free-falling atoms reveal subtle variations in Earth’s gravitational pull at different places. Those ...

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 ...

Just three numbers—that’s all it takes to completely, unequivocally, 100 percent describe a black hole in general relativity. If I tell you the mass, electric charge, and spin (i.e., angular momentum) ...

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 ...

Some people watch science fiction shows to be entertained, and that's fine. But you can also use them to find excellent physics problems. How about the recent Netflix movie Stowaway? It's about a crew ...
