How one physics concept confuses even smart people

There is one physics concept that almost everyone misunderstands, even after hearing it explained a hundred times. The common version sounds logical, but it creates the wrong picture in the brain.
The science of physics has strived to find the best possible explanations for understanding matter and energy in the physical world across all scales of space and time. Modern physics is filled with ...
A machine learning model used neural decoding to show how we think about abstract concepts like electrical current and diffraction. The results could change how we teach physics. Share on Facebook ...
Why did the Liberty Bell crack? What forces are at work as you run up and down the “Rocky Steps”? Why do you fall over when a SEPTA bus stops short? “I often hear people say, ‘I can’t do physics,’ but ...
Forbes contributors publish independent expert analyses and insights. I write about physics, science, academia, and pop culture. This whole weird business seems to be winding down, but not without a ...
Adrian Bejan’s new book explores how natural laws of physics give rise to the tremendous amount of diversity seen in the ...
The Physics Help Center, located in Sharp Lab 101B, is a place where students in introductory physics and astronomy courses can come for assistance with homework, studying, lab reports and other ...
During the 2026 Winter Olympics, athletes will leap off ramps, slide across ice and spin through the air. These performances will look different to my students who have studied physics through sports.
Life is full of small decisions: Should I pick up that sock on the floor? Should I do the dishes before bed? What about fixing the leaky faucet in the bathroom? Leaving a sock on the ground is a ...
