In this video Paul Andersen explains how matter can act as a wave at the nanoscale. Louis de Broglie showed that the wavelength of matter can be calculated using the momentum of an object and Planck's constant. The Davisson-Germer...

Hank and Dr. Rebecca Bendick talk about her work in the science of earthquake forecasting, and then Jessi joins the show to show off Sandy the sand boa!

In this video Paul Andersen explains how the dimensions of space and time are combined in relativistic mechanics. Gravity and velocity can affect both space and time according to Albert Einstein's Special Law of Relativity.

In this video Paul Andersen explains how matter, like light, can be treated as both a particle and a wave. Louis de Broglie proposed that matter could act as a wave and described the wavelength of matter as a function of Planck's...

Summary:

By the end of 1905, we had two big new equations in physics. Max Planck’s, Energy equals Planck’s constant times the frequency, and Einstein’s Energy equals the mass times the speed of light squared. A...

SUMMARY:

Quantum field theory or QFT is the basis of the best theory we have in physics today to explain nearly everything, called the Standard Model of particle physics. What is Quantum Field theory? Why is it...

Physicists know how to use the equations of quantum mechanics to predict things, but don't really understand what is fundamentally going on.



The primary challenge is that according to the...

Five areas of physics worth remembering: Classical mechanics, energy and thermodynamics, electromagnetism, Relativity, and Quantum Mechanics. Classical mechanics - two main concepts worth knowing. The first is...

Quantum entanglement is a physical resource, like energy, that is possible between quantum systems. When a coin spins on a flat surface, its in a state of superposition between its two faceshead and tails. Similarly, electrons in their...

An inverted pendulum puzzle

Physics majors study the universe, from electrons and protons to supergiant stars.



As a physics major you will take A LOT of math and apply complex formulas to the problems at hand. Physics majors don't just learn the...

The undergraduate curriculum for physics and electrical engineering have some similarities that students may not be aware of. With both majors you get to see circuits, basics physics concepts, and even...

The EPR paradox tries to prove that quantum mechanics is wrong.

This video mostly goes over two of the biggest classes and fields you learn about as a physics undergrad which is quantum physics and classical physics. I will be going over more classes (in less detail) and more...

Quantum entanglement is a physical resource, like energy, that is possible between quantum systems. When a coin spins on a flat surface, it’s in a state of superposition between its two faces—head and tails. Similarly, electrons in their...

This video explains what quantum computing is and how it could impact artificial intelligence. It covers the basics of regular computing and the differences with quantum computing, including the concept of qubits and entanglement. The...

On why I was very wrong. In my previous video, I said that spin isnt very linked to angular momentum at all- but in fact, theres a key property of angular momentum that spin has, suggesting they are linked after all. Book recommendation:...

This live-action video program is about the word Mechanics. The program is designed to reinforce and support a student's comprehension and retention of the word Mechanics through use of video footage, photographs, diagrams and colorful,...
