What Survives Inside A Black Hole?
Black holes are the result of absolute gravitational collapse of a massive body: a point of hypothetical infinite density surrounded by an event horizon. At that horizon time is frozen and the fabric of space itself cascades inwards at...

PS3C - Relationship Between Energy and Forces
In this video Paul Andersen describes the relationship between energy and forces. When objects are directly touching electromagnetic forces can result in forces and energy exchange. When objects are not directly touching fields;...

Noether's Theorem and The Symmetries of Reality
Conservation laws are among the most important tools in physics. They feel as fundamental as you can get. And yet they're wrong - or at least they're only right sometimes. These laws are consequences of a much deeper, more fundamental...

What Saturn’s Rings Tell Us About Its Soupy Core
The insides of the our gas giant friend, Saturn, might be less of a mystery now that we’ve figured out how to use its rings to indicate its internal makeup. And the light emitted from some very old, very hungry black holes could be...

How to Detect Extra Dimensions
On this Space Time Journal Club we look at how gravitational waves can be used to search for extra dimensions of space!

Why is the Earth Round and the Milky Way Flat?
Our universe is not a very diverse place when it comes to shapes. Large celestial bodies become spheres, galaxies become discs, and there is little room for variation. Why is this? Well it turns out physics has some pretty strict rules...

When Time Breaks Down
We learned how motion gives matter its mass, but how does motion affect time? Let's dive deeper into the true nature of matter and mass by exploring Einstein's photon clock thought experiment, and the phenomenon that is time dilation.

7 Ways We Know What's Inside the Earth
Thanks to some amazing scientific insights, we know a lot about the interior of our planet - even though we’ve never even made it through the crust.

Electric Field of Parallel Plates
In this video Paul Andersen explains how the electric field between oppositely and equally charged plates is uniform as long as you are far from the edge. The strength of the electric field can be determined by either the charge of the...

Gravitational Mass
In this video Paul Andersen explains how the gravitational mass is a measure of the force on an object in a gravitational field. The gravitational mass is based on the amount of material in an object and can be measured to a standard kg...

Gravitational Force
In this video Paul Andersen explains how an object with mass placed in a gravitational field experiences a gravitational force. On the Earth this gravitational force is known as weight. The gravitational force is equal to the product of...

So, Negative Gravity Is a Thing
In nature, most of our basic forces both attract and repel. In fact, gravity is the only exception. But, according to theorists, sound waves actually have negative gravity.

Potential Energy
In this video Paul Andersen explains how conservative forces can be used to store potential energy in an object or a system. The work done is equal to the amount of potential energy in the object. The following conservative forces are...
