If you drop a light object and a heavy object from a tower, which one reaches the ground first? As you may recall from high school physics, this is a trick question. Neglecting air resistance, they ...

For the Jew steeped in Torah and Chassidic thought, this question points directly to Elokus, the infinite Divine energy that ...

Over the short span of just 300 years, since the invention of modern physics, we have gained a deeper understanding of how our universe works on both small and large scales. Yet, physics is still very ...

The branch of mathematics known as topology has become a cornerstone of modern physics thanks to the remarkable -- and above all reliable -- properties it can impart to a material or system.

CERN's new supercollider will be 8 times more powerful than the LHC, the largest and most powerful in the world. Physicists could use it to solve mysteries about the nature of our universe. Based on ...

Who is known as the Father of Modern Physics? Without a doubt, the answer is Albert Einstein. His groundbreaking theories changed the way we understand the universe — from the smallest particles to ...

In the rarefied world of theoretical physics, where Albert Einstein’s shadow still looms large, Harvard University and ...

Tachyons are hypothetical particles that travel at speeds greater than the speed of light. These superluminal particles, are the "enfant terrible" of modern physics. Until recently, they were ...

At long last, a unified theory combining gravity with the other fundamental forces—electromagnetism and the strong and weak nuclear forces—is within reach. Bringing gravity into the fold has been the ...

Richard Easther and Frank Wang argue that a “Newton first” approach to undergraduate physics teaching can give students a better insight than focusing solely on “modern physics” The whole story Topics ...

For student learning outcomes, please see wiu.edu/provost/learningoutcomes. The science of Physics explores the basic properties of matter, energy, and their mutual ...
