Maxwell’s equations of electromagnetism and the Euler equation top a poll to find the greatest equations of all time. Robert P Crease discusses the results of his reader survey First among equals – ...

Lowry Kirkby reviews The Theoretical Minimum: What You Need to Know to Start Doing Physics by Leonard Susskind and George Hrabovsky Thirst for physics: Leonard Susskind's popular series of lectures ...

Maxwell's Equations tell us a lot about electromagnetic interactions and physics. In the mid-1800s, Scottish physicist James Maxwell thought something interesting was going on with electric fields. So ...

The currents of the oceans, the roiling surface of the sun, and the clouds of smoke billowing off a forest fire—all are governed by the same laws of physics and give rise to a complex phenomenon known ...

Shini Somara introduces us to the ideas of motion in a straight line. In this, THE FIRST EPISODE of Crash Course Physics, your host Dr. Shini Somara introduces us to the ideas of motion in a straight ...

We live under the assumption that time flows in one direction—past to present to future. You wake up, drink your coffee, scroll on your phone, and move forward through the day. But what if time ...

The Navier-Stokes equations describe simple, everyday phenomena, like water flowing from a garden hose, yet they provide a million-dollar mathematical challenge. Physics contains equations that ...
