Physicists have spent decades treating mass as something the universe simply hands to particles, a property encoded in ...

Bring up the subject of time, torque, and inertia with a mechanical engineer, and his or her eyes are likely to light up. Most engineers, during their undergraduate career, get a firm grounding in ...

The concept of inertia is far more than a simple scientific principle; its roots and philosophical underpinnings have deep historical significance, stretching from ancient language to modern metaphors ...

One of these days, I intend to start a band. It will presumably fall on one of those days after I learn to play an instrument (which also has no defined date attached to it). But eventually I'll be ...
