In 1687, Sir Isaac Newton published his groundbreaking book, Mathematical Principles of Natural Philosophy, which described his three laws of motion. In the process, Newton laid the foundation for ...

Physics, particularly forces and motion, can be challenging. By observing everyday motion, conducting simple experiments, and understanding Newton's laws in plain language, the concepts become more ...

Several years back, I had the pleasure of watching Dan Cobley’s TED Talk, “What physics taught me about marketing.” In this talk, Cobley illustrates how physics and the scientific method can be ...

This is the second in a series of “five amazing physics demonstrations” presented by science-demo guru Neil Downie. In addition to his day job in industrial science, Downie has run Saturday science ...

Considered to be one of the greatest and most influential scientists who ever lived, why does Sir Isaac Newton feature so rarely in mainstream fiction? I’m in a shopping centre in the small town of ...

Newton's laws of motion may have been the bane of your high school existence, but in reality, they affect every part of our lives, including annual enrollment! (Photo: Shutterstock) This is the time ...

In 1687, Sir Isaac laid down the laws of motion in Principia Mathematica- laws which have still held true over 300 years later. In the law of conservation of momentum, he noted that the momentum of a ...

Matthew Crowell tries his hand at the “tablecloth” magic trick as part of a recent science lab. Tommy Elick and Quintin Sartori work against one another and then together as they determine which ...

Newton’s third law of motion states that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. However, I would like to counter that that law does not apply to every situation for there is always ...
