Art and Physics are both attempting to explain and explore the world around and within us. These are two very different disciplines and the commonality that they share is in trying to explain existence in the universe. They are almost working together the way that the two hemispheres of the brain ...

Quantim Mechanics is abranch of mathematical physics that deals with the emission and absorption of energy by matter and with the motion of material particles. Because it holds that energy and matter exist in tiny, discrete amounts, quantum mechanics is particularly applicable to Elamentry Pprticl...

About five years ago, I was sitting in my middle school classroom and chatting with my friend. I can not forget about my physics teacher; she was not pretty, and she was not that impressive. When I met her the first time, the weather was freezing. I fell about three times that day because of the ic...
