The Physics Of The Minuscule ... It is the dream of many theorists of fundamental physics to reconcile quantum theory with relativity, and thus produce a grainy theory of quantum gravity...

MIT's Nanoruler Could Impact Space Physics ... The Nanoruler is 10 to 1,000 times faster and more precise than other methods for patterning parallel lines and spaces (known collectively as gratings) across large surfaces more than 12 inches in diameter. Such large surfaces are key to a number of applications involving gratings, such as larger wafers for the production of computer chips and higher-resolution space telescopes...

The Physics Of A Good Store Location ... Here are short excerpts from the LiveScience article. Researcher Pablo Jensen, a computational physicist at the Ecole Normale Supérieure of Lyon, France, studied the locations of businesses in that city...

Why Most Weight Loss Programs Fail Miserably ... Well in my view it simply re-inforces my conclusion that these programs simply create a co-dependency between the client and the service provider. That is because once the relationship ends the client sooner or later relapses...

An Apple On Your Head. Relationship Physics ... Relationship Physics Attempts to describe the differences and similarities of men and women have been made by philosophers, church leaders, and day-time TV...

The Physics Of Haute Couture ... L. Maha Mahadevan of Harvard University in Cambridge, Massachusetts, and colleagues have come up with equations that predict the number and shape of folds in a draped sheet...

The Physics Of Beer Bubbles ... The photo above shows how the researchers were monitoring beer bubbles. "A one-microsecond-long ultrasound pulse, at a center frequency of 1 MHz, is generated near the top of a mug of beer using an immersion transducer (top left) and detected with a needle-shaped hydrophone (top center)...

Solar Sailing 'Breaks Laws Of Physics' ... A physicist is claiming that solar sailing -- the idea of using sunlight to blow spacecraft across the solar system -- is at odds with the laws of thermal physics...

But this invites the occult mind,
Cancels our physics with a sneer,
And spatters all we knew of denouement
Across the expedient and wicked stones.
—Karl Shapiro (b. 1913)

We, however, want to become those we are—human beings who are new, unique, incomparable, who give themselves laws, who create themselves. To that end we must become the best learners and discoverers of everything that is lawful and necessary in the world: we must become physicists in order to be able to be creators in this sense—while hitherto all valuations and ideals have been based on ignorance of physics or were constructed so as to contradict it. Therefore: long live physics! And even more so that which compels us to turn to physics—our honesty!
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)

It is hardly to be believed how spiritual reflections when mixed with a little physics can hold people’s attention and give them a livelier idea of God than do the often ill-applied examples of his wrath.
—G.C. (Georg Christoph)
