Physics

The only way to escape the personal corruption of praise is to go on working. - Albert Einstein

The deepest sin against the human mind is to believe things without evidence."

- Aldous Huxley.

Professor Hans Bethe explains superconductivity in his lecture titled " My Relation To Early Quantum Mechanics" at MIT November 21, 1977.

Professor Brian Greene explains Einstein's theory of gravity.

I have never met a man so ignorant that I couldn't learn something from him.

- Galileo Galilei

Beautiful slow-motion surface tension demonstration.

Happy Birthday to one of the titans of Quantum Mechanics, Paul Dirac, born 123 yrs ago today. Dirac is one of the pioneers of Quantum mechanics and the first physicist to predict the existence of anti-matter. He received the 1933 Nobel Prize in Physics together with Erwin Shcrödinger.

Sine wave shown beautifully .

People like us who believe in physics know that the distinction between past, present, and future is only a stubbornly persistent illusion. Time, in other words, he said, is an illusion.

The physics of light refraction through broken glass

The double slit experiment was pivotal in demonstrating the wave-particle duality of light and matter. When particles like electrons are fired through slits, they produce an interference pattern typical of waves, not particles.

"Tesseract" can mean many things: an OCR engine, a 4D hypercube in geometry, the Space Stone’s container in Marvel, a British metal band, or a premium e-scooter by Ultraviolette. One word, many dimensions.

Physicist Solves 120-Year-Old Thermodynamics Puzzle and Corrects Einstein The paper argues that the third principle of thermodynamics follows from the second principle, rather than being a separate or independent concept. Professor José María Martín-Olalla of the University...

120 years later, a thermodynamics puzzle is cracked, Professor José María Martín-Olalla showed that the Nernst theorem about how entropy (disorder) behaves near absolute zero is actually part of the second law of thermodynamics. Even Einstein thought it was a separate rule. Credit: SciTechDaily
