Physics

Quantum physics is mind-bending, counterintuitive, and close to impossible to understand. It's so complicated that a theory saying our reality is just one of an infinite web of infinite timelines is one that's actually simpler than what most quantum physicists believe. That neat-and-tidy explanation is known as the many-worlds interpretation, and it has caused plenty of controversy in physics circles. In the 1950s, a student at Princeton University named Hugh Everett III was studying quantum mechanics

The word “impossible” has been a controversial topic discussed for years by people who just explain why there is nothing more we can do. In the book, Physics of the Impossible, Michio Kaku takes multiple ideas and concepts from recent books or movies and he discusses how each of them could or could not exist in the future. Kaku is a theoretical physicist who attended Harvard after winning a scholarship there (preface xi). His passion for science began young in life when he entered and won a science

Physics in Cartoons The cartoon that was analyzed by our group was the Disney movie The Emperor's New Groove. This movie is very entertaining and comical, however when a closer look is taken at the use (or lack thereof) of Physics Laws, many errors can be found. The following are four examples of situations in The Emperors New Groove where the laws of physics were over looked and ignored in the creation of the scene. #1 (19:05-19:48) After Emperor Kusko is

and Physics in particular has always been apart of my life. This could have been the result of both my parents being Physics teachers, and my first encounter with Physics is through them when they began to incorporate fundamental Physics concepts like forces at work throughout my childhood. My parents had introduced me to Physics, but I think it is mostly the subject itself that has greatly influenced me to go further and made me decide to pursue a degree in Physics. It is through Physics where

Ideas in the subject of Physics are never absolute; it is a forever-changing topic. We think we have discovered everything there is to know about it, and then we find out something new that changes everything. That is one of the reasons physics is so interesting to learn about – there will always be something new. There are many very important discoveries in Physics. This paper will describe some of the discoveries. These discoveries are prevalent throughout history and in our daily lives. One

The physics about a baseball seemed like a very interesting topic to me because I have been playing baseball ever since I was about 4 years old. Since I played for a very long time and watched a decent amount of the game on the television I already had a general idea of the physics of a baseball. Although, I had a good idea of the physics behind the game of baseball I had never done an example using the the actual the equations. It was very cool to actually know the mathematics on how a pitcher threw

of concepts I would encounter later on, when studying Physics at school, even if I often got no immediate answers to questions I genuinely sought to resolve. Such activities awoke my true passion for Physics and laid the foundations on which I would build my knowledge in my teenage years. Indeed, I find the fact that we can describe nature and its

in Vidya Mandir Senior Secondary School, Mylapore in March 2018. For as long as I can remember, Science has always been my favorite subject. Although I'm a bit partial towards Biology more so than Chemistry or Physics, the subjects have always managed to awe me. When it comes to Physics, it's really sad to say that somehow I have managed to develop a certain dislike towards the subject in the recent weeks. Till my tenth grade, I had been able to understand every concept easily but then came

The Physics of Basketball The more and more I look around I begin to see how physics are integrated into practically everything that we do. These things would surely go unnoticed without making a conscious effort to notice them. For example simple things like riding a bike, or driving a car, or playing catch with a son or daughter. Just as these activities are loaded with elements of physics, sports are also, especially basketball. Physics play a part in every aspect of the game, from dribbling

This paper is about the Physics of hitting a baseball. There are a lot of moving parts when you are hitting. You have your back foot turning you hips turning and you arms going forward your body moving back and forth. Your hands are going forward and lifting the bat. All these things go into the “Physics of Batting.” The best part to hit a baseball on the bat is the “sweet spot” bat. When a ball hit this “sweet spot” the ball goes flat for about 3cm of travel after the ball has made contact
