Over the short span of just 300 years, since the invention of modern physics, we have gained a deeper understanding of how our universe works on both small and large scales. Yet, physics is still very ...

Explore the foundations of electromagnetism with a deep dive into Maxwell’s Equations and the wave equation! This video breaks down these fundamental physics concepts, showing how electric and ...

Time travel has shifted from pure fantasy to a serious, if highly constrained, topic in modern physics. The equations that describe gravity, quantum fields and the structure of spacetime now allow ...

At long last, a unified theory combining gravity with the other fundamental forces—electromagnetism and the strong and weak nuclear forces—is within reach. Bringing gravity into the fold has been the ...
