How are we gonna trust gravity if the guy who made it up,Isaac Newton, died a virgin?

If i am standing on a wide plane field, and there is a taller than me object next to me, is it certain that the lightning will strike the taller object rather than me? ...

Is it more likely to come from gravitational waves and a possible black hole fire wall discovery than the LHC? Will the LHC ever find new physics beyond the standard model?

Even if you’re in so-called zero gravity you’re really in micro gravity. Only if you’re like trillions of miles from the nearest large body are you actually in zero gravity.

I want formulas. I know that kinetic energy equals 1/2mv2, could it be calculated with this? Let s say for instance that I run 500 meters in a time 500 seconds. How would I ...

How does a steel submarine float when it is in the harbor?

Let’s say we have a Eureka tube. I put an old egg inside and it sinks. This shows that the buoyant force acting on the egg is less than the weight of the ...

I feel like it’s somewhat related to the Bernoulli’s Principle “an increase in the velocity of a stream of fluid results in a decrease in pressure” So my theory is that a car that moves with a high velocity ...

Unless i misunderstood the definition, things naturally go from order to chaos; complexity to simplicity. Macro evolution contradicts of course as you have a simple amoeba or whatever the hell it was, evolving into the complex species ...

I realize it might sound pretty stupid, but I’m curious as to what would happen if you were to take a lot of heat energy and simply compress it. Would there be combustion at some point or…? ...
