The search for quantum gravity is the next big step in physics, as researchers seek to unify the physics of the very small ...

Physics is this close to understanding the entire universe. And what lives in this gap? Many physicists think it’s the ...

If the Marx Brothers taught a physics class, it would probably look a lot like Physics Phor Parents, a Prospect High School course that is now so popular a lottery determines who gets in. Physics ...

In 1980, Stephen Hawking gave his first lecture as Lucasian Professor at the University of Cambridge. The lecture was called ...

Something seems to be missing from the universe, and the favored model of physics calls it “dark matter” – but despite a century of searching, it remains a no-show. A new paper proposes an alternative ...

Physics and Python stuff. Most of the videos here are either adapted from class lectures or solving physics problems. I ...

Dark matter is currently the most widely accepted hypothesis for explaining some of the weirdness we see in the cosmos – but it’s not the only possibility. Now, a team of astronomers has discovered ...

I was actually asked this question yesterday by one of my physics students. He was surprised to see a figure of 32 in his pre-calculus book associated with the acceleration due to gravity on earth, ...

Tracking the spread of new or reemergent diseases like SARS or smallpox is essential in controlling disease epidemics, but horse-and-buggy concepts of how diseases spread have been supplanted by ...
