These have included physics product warnings (“This product warps space and time in its vicinity”), pick-up lines (“I want you to diagonalize my inertia tensor”) and jokes contrasting the various ...

Three months ago I asked readers of Physics World to contribute samples of new physics jokes, fresh forms of physics wit, or cases of “found humour” in physics (see “So you think physics is funny?”).

The Numbers: Columnist Jo Craven McGinty looks at how ‘The Big Bang Theory’ ensures that the whiteboard equations and physics jokes that make up its witty banter are scientifically accurate.

Modern physics has many achievements to be proud of. A quantum understanding of three of the forces of nature. A beautiful, elegant description of gravity though the bending of space-time.

Yet, physics is still very young and when it comes to using it to explain life, physicists struggle. Even today, we can’t really explain what the difference is between a living lump of matter ...

Who is known as the Father of Modern Physics? Without a doubt, the answer is Albert Einstein. His groundbreaking theories changed the way we understand the universe — from the smallest particles ...

Topspin is one of the modern tennis player's most powerful weapons. When top exponents such as recently retired star Rafael Nadal deploy it, the ball can spin at more than 50 rotations per second.

Rather, he asserts that modern physics has said farewell to reality in the attempts to fill in the Authorized Version's gaps with theoretical leaps and multiple conjectures he calls "fairy-tale ...

Their work, along with Wolfgang Ketterle’s research, earned the Nobel Prize in Physics in 2001 and validated Bose’s ideas, demonstrating the quantum behaviour of particles on a macroscopic scale.
