This controversial theory says the universe is subject to an ultimate, higher-order law that we can’t comprehend.

Consider the following physics problem. An object with a mass of 1 kg and a velocity of 1 m/s in the x-direction has a net force of 1 Newton pushing on it (also in the x-direction). What will the ...

In 1687, Sir Isaac laid down the laws of motion in Principia Mathematica- laws which have still held true over 300 years later. In the law of conservation of momentum, he noted that the momentum of a ...

This is the second in a series of “five amazing physics demonstrations” presented by science-demo guru Neil Downie. In addition to his day job in industrial science, Downie has run Saturday science ...
