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

Aristotle's laws of motion. In Physics he states that objects fall at a speed proportional to their weight and inversely proportional to the density of the fluid they are immersed in this is a correct approximation for objects in Earth's gravitational field moving in air or water.
