8220;Everybody is a genius. But if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid.” ― Albert Einstein. Sunday, 27 May 2012. The Physics of Field Athletics: Why do the Shot, the Javelin, the Discus and the Hammer fly differently? Firstly, lets look at shot-put. The men's involves "putting" a 7.25 kg (16lb) "shot" from a small 2.135m (7.00 ft) diameter circle. The put is thrown with a sort of push, instead of conventional throwin...We don't know the...

The Physics (And Maths) of Soccer: Offsides, Angles and Backspin. The offside rule is the one of the most complicated in soccer and leads to some controversial refereeing decisions, can they be justified? In light of the recent English performance in the European Championships, we will also be looking at goal-line decisions.

8220;Everybody is a genius. But if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid.” ― Albert Einstein. Sunday, 29 January 2012. We know we don't fall off the Earth, but what is it that holds us on there? And how strong is it? If everyone in China jumped at the same time, what would happen? And the nature of time. To the maths of music. We hope you all will continue to visit the blog and read our posts, so now, lets get started:. Where G is the gra...

8220;Everybody is a genius. But if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid.” ― Albert Einstein. Sunday, 26 February 2012. What is the Theory of Everything? How can a theory describe everything? Surely we already have theories for most things? And anyway, what actually is everything? In future posts, we will be looking at the main candidates which could, one day, become the Theory of Everything. A youtuber called MinutePhysics. The electrowe...

8220;Everybody is a genius. But if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid.” ― Albert Einstein. Thursday, 29 December 2011. The Irregularity of Time [2/2]. A satellite orbits the earth. Due to it's speed, special relativity says time should be going slower than if it was on earth for it, but in fact, it goes quicker. Why? And the concept of space-time in the second one. Well really, it is just applying Special Relativity. The best way to ex...

The Physics of Soccer: How does 'Curl' work? Welcome to the second post in our series on the physics of sport. How can soccer players cause a ball's trajectory to change in the air? And what are the different ways they can do this? As air passes over the curved surfaces, it is forced to speed up. When a fast-moving flui...

The Physics of Field Athletics: Hammer Throw, Angular Momentum and what if everyone in the world spun around at the same time? A few weeks ago, we posted on the physics of Shot-put and Javelin. Momentum of an object is shown by the formula:. Is the momentum, m. Is the mass of the object and v. Is the velocity of the object.

8220;Everybody is a genius. But if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid.” ― Albert Einstein. Monday, 28 November 2011. We don't serve neutrinos in here! A neutrino walks into a bar. Neutrinos going faster than the speed of light? Is it possible and, if it is true, what are the implications? Let me start by explaining what a neutrino is. A neutrino (which means "small neutral one" in Italian- thank you wikipe. The muon neutrino,. Now lets...
