You’re on the M1, doing 65, and two trucks pull out alongside each other. For the next several minutes you watch them drift past each other at what appears to be exactly the same speed. Your blood pressure rises. The … Read more
Abstract:The boundaries between physical and social networks have narrowed with the advent of the Internet and its pervasive platforms. This has given rise to a complex adaptive information ecosystem where individuals and machines compete for attention, leading to emergent collective … Read more
This book presents a selection of the 99 best, most beautiful physics demonstrations from the Dutch book series “ShowdeFysica” [Frederik et al., 2023, Frederik et al., 2017, Frederik et al., 2015] as published by the Dutch Association for Science Education. … Read more
Introduction Parabolic microphones are known for their extreme sensitivity, and the origin of their acuity isn’t difficult to guess. It is the most obvious thing about them, which can also make them a liability for field use, namely, their considerable … Read more
The AI-generated worlds will reportedly include realistic physics, camera movements, and object behaviors, all from text commands. The system then creates physically accurate ray-traced videos and data that robots can use for training. Of course, we have not tested this, … Read more
Glancing collision with a stationary ball¶ Suppose that a ball strikes an initially-stationary second ball with a glancing impact. That is, the line which connects the two balls at the moment of impact is not parallel with the velocity of … Read more
Explore Mathematics has long been the basis for advances in physics. Albert Einstein hailed general relativity as “a real triumph” for mathematics in 1915, when he discovered that purely mathematical work, more than a half-century old, perfectly described the fabric … Read more
