If cuteness were a fundamental force, the plushies from ParticleZoo would be the strongest attractors in the universe. Check out the plushies from the particlezoo, you can get just one, starting at $9.75 or get a whole universe in a … Continue reading →

‘Live from Mars’ layer to view the latest images from NASA’s THEMIS camera on board the Mars Odyssey spacecraft, sometimes just hours after NASA receives them. You can also see live satellite orbital tracks, or check out where the HiRISE … Continue reading →

The 11th Annual Physics Fun Day at Knott’s Theme Park was on March 5th. Local students use Knott’s rollercoasters as a giant science lab with local educators joining together with Knott’s educational staff to create a variety of learning contests … Continue reading →

A beautiful poster design from American Physical Society. The poster was also sponsored by the American Association of Physics Teachers and by the Society of Physics Students. Bookmark, Share and Enjoy:

A train that describes how one might travel through spacetime was discovered in the Bolivian desert by a physics teacher. The old locomotive itself must have pushed the boundaries of space and time due to its mysterious location in the … Continue reading →

My physics class were feeling unmotivated to revise for their upcoming Intermediate2 exam. So I gave them all a banana and challenged them to write as many physics equations on them as possible. I think we got 23 on one. … Continue reading →

Infinity – Breaking The Rules. It could have been bolder in which infinity symbol didn’t need to break a metal mesh to get through; but I do agree with the sentiments. Source and Credit: M-War’s Deviant art. Bookmark, Share and … Continue reading →
