It might sound strange to think about physics (which often involves a lot of theory and hypotheticals) helping people solve mathematics problems. However, physics follows many math patterns very ...

Throw a pebble into a lake and it, obligingly, sinks. Smash particles together and they fall apart in certain patterns. Flick a switch and let there be light. Reality, for all its glory and cosmic ...

Physics provides the fundamental rules that govern our universe — or so we thought. Throughout history, brilliant minds have uncovered phenomena that shattered our understanding of reality, forcing us ...

In the fall of 1915, the foundations of physics began to crack. Einstein’s new theory of gravity seemed to imply that it should be possible to create and destroy energy, a result that threatened to ...

There is a long history of doing physics by imagination. Albert Einstein built his special theory of relativity after imagining himself chasing a beam of light. Erwin Schrödinger gave us a cat that ...
