Lowry Kirkby reviews The Theoretical Minimum: What You Need to Know to Start Doing Physics by Leonard Susskind and George Hrabovsky Thirst for physics: Leonard Susskind's popular series of lectures ...

A perpetual motion machine is (as the name implies) a machine that moves perpetually; it never stops. Ever. So if you created one today and set it going, it would keep on going until the Big Freeze.

Dive into the world of motion by exploring the similarities and differences between linear and rotational kinematics. In this video, we break down key concepts, equations, and relationships that ...

E = mc 2 is probably the most recognized physics equation among the general public, beating out Newton's Second Law of motion, F = ma. Despite that recognition by the outside world, E = mc 2 is hardly ...

In Physics 01 Chapter 4, we explore how motion is described using the fundamental kinematic equations. Learn how position, velocity, acceleration, and time are related, and how these equations help ...

During its teenage and young adult years—what is now referred to as its “classical” period—physics made a lot of mistakes. In the old physics, mass and energy were separately conserved; particles’ ...

Maxwell’s equations of electromagnetism and the Euler equation top a poll to find the greatest equations of all time. Robert P Crease discusses the results of his reader survey First among equals – ...

Black hole singularities should not exist, according to theories of quantum mechanics. New tweaks to Einstein's equations of general relativity could finally do away with them, and explain what truly ...

The following essay is reprinted with permission from The Conversation, an online publication covering the latest research. Speed alone may be the factor that draws many sports fans to the bobsled, ...
