Hey guys. Electricity is a fascinating thing that I steer clear of, however, when scrolling YouTube a decade ago, I found out that there are hand-cranked machines that make sparks. Do any of you guys own one of these electrostatic machines? If so, what got you into owning one?

Greetings scientits and science enthuiasts Im Cosmos_ a 15yr old boy quite crazily in love with Physics especially quantum physics and astrophysics,i might ask some Annoyingky curious questions about the bssic or fundsmnetals of Physics.

On my current "I hope Veritasium makes a video on this" list (just recently crossed out principle of least action and alphafold lol): -> Riemann Hypothesis -> Noether's theorem -> Maxwell's equations -> String theory -> Loop quantum gravity -> Standard Model -> Deep Learning -> Kepler's laws...

As mentioned in the title I'm just an enthusiast who have interests in many fields of science, but in particular astrophysics. No, I'm not academic. But in my view that should not alone be important, we all can contribute in lesser or larger way. Tho I've entered this forum for mostly one...

Hello, My 10 year old is doing a science project in which he places a zinc nail and copper nail in a liquid, hooks each nail up to a voltmeter and then measures the recorded voltage for each substance. Liquids include lemon juice, distilled water and ammonia. The book from which he got the...

I am always thrilled about physics, and science in general. It shows me details of everything. I want to know how things work. I have been reading physics my materials for great knowledge. Then I also try to discover some.

I have literally no clue what to write here, I'm just doing what the link told me to do. I love science but seem to have difficulties with social interaction and apparently common sense statements.

Hello! So, my answer is off by one from the answer sheet to this question. I can not spot where and nor can online friendly chatbots. Here is the question: And here is the answer key: I have problems in specifically the CPI question. I am correct with the other questions (data/instruction...

Dennis Overbye, New York Times columnist and its “cosmic affairs correspondent” is retiring after 25 years. He contributed regular columns for The New York Times and maintained an unusually and impressively factual density to otherwise highly readable science journalism. Occasionally his...

I'm trying to figure out the optimal way to apply for REUs for this coming summer under my circumstances. In short, I obtained my AA at a state college back in 2014. Solid 4.0, graduated Summa Cum Laude, multiple honors, and was even commencement speaker at my graduation ceremony. The problem...

Good day everyone I'm a interested science student who loves physics and it's calculations

Hey all. I've always loved physics....but never took the subject in high school or even college. Now that my 2 teenage daughters are taking it in HS, it's time for me to learn a bit more. I'm here to learn, help my kids, and entertain the rest of you with my ignorance :)

There are so many concepts in science, especially Physics, that make absolutely no sense to me unless I begin to study the underlying history of the concepts. So please correct me when I'm wrong because I'm sure I am sometimes. The first concept I think about is Voltage. I was extremely familiar...

See: https://actuaries.asn.au/microsites/actuaries-in-data-science/data-science-actuary/ Wonder if it will require those killer Actuarial Exams. Thanks Bill

Hi I'm 50 years on from certain scientific questions running through my head as a child, and hopefully can now contribute something useful to the discussions.

Hello everyone, being new here I would like to introduce myself briefly. By nature I am a curious and ingenious person with an open mind. Although my professional background originates from finance, accounting analysis and business management, I have been studying physics. My approches are...

This is an extract from my letter of resignation from the forum: My belief is that physics has taken a wrong turn, and what passes as science is nothing more than speculation without hard evidence. As a challenger to the accepted paradigms, I can understand how I have ruffled a few feathers...

From this week's digital edition of Scientific American: 'This week, Scientific American endorses Kamala Harris. That's in part due to the Biden-Harris administration’s approach to AI safety and the White House’s support for the chipmaking industry.' Do people think a science magazine...

Hi everyone! I'm currently doing a Natural Science degree from the Open University. I've always been interested in Biology and Chemistry, but for the past few years I have started to become interested in Physics.

Hello everyone & thank you for letting me join your community. I am a high school science teacher in Minnesota, USA. I took over the classroom of a former physics/math teacher and have found all kinds of cool but old equipment. I primarily teach 9th grade physical science this year but that...

What's the difference in content between the two textbooks? International Adaptation and local edition Principles of Physics: Extended, 12th Edition Principles of Physics: Extended, International Adaptation, 12th Edition

sailor, interested in science, weather, cosmology.

It so hard to predict the future but are there any technologies from sci-fi movies or books that can’t happen in real life because it’s just completely impossible to create them? For now and even when we have more advanced science knowledge?

I was reading a Nature article by Dean Keith Simonton speaking about how science seems to have slowed and there really isn’t such a thing as a real genius anymore. He defines a true genius as “A real paradigm shifter. A Renaissance human who could completely change the way we understand the...

Hello everyone, My name is Sara and I'm a high school student who loves science, particularly physics. I'm in 12th grade and I'm in a specific curriculum which is the 'French International Baccalaureate', I am currently working on a research project titled 'What role do American universities...

Hello! I joined because I am interested in how physics would intertwine with science based magical systems in books. I'm looking forward to learning a lot of new things and seeing how they would work with each other.

When I was nine years old, my dad left for what would be at least twenty-five years. Our family helped my mother raise me and my two younger brothers. One uncle who took on the role of surrogate father encouraged me to explore my interest in science to the limit a working-class family saw as our...

Hi, just found this on google so signed up. Never too late to learn and with so many things going on around me I would like nothing more than to get to bottom of things and learn how things work, and how science impacts on us. Put off by science at school but now I find it totally fascinating...

I am a Science Enthusiast. I'm excited to join this forum. I wish that I could connect with you guys.

I am currently a high school graduate trying to plan my career. I am aware this does not count much in the higher scale of things, but the one thing i was really interested in since my elementary school years has been science. And i always liked to imagine myself being a "scientist" when i was...

I'm new here and new in general to online forums. I'm a middle-aged guy who has been online for decades, but I just haven't used forums or social media very much. I've always had a casual interest in math/science.

I am currently a research scholar specializing in open quantum systems.

I had a question in my mind about PCBs. Printed Circuit Board (PCB) is a non-conductive material with conductive lines printed or etched. Electronic components are mounted on the board and the traces connect the components together to form a working circuit or assembly. Now a Pencil has...

Hello There, I am MD Mushfique Farhan Nabir. I am a student and I love science. I decided to join Physics Forum to expand my existing physics knowledge, explore and share personal experiments. I am also a programmer.

Greetings, I consider myself a teacher of science instead of a science teacher. I have experience teaching across many subject areas of science. This has enabled me to make connections across all of my differing content areas and share that with my students.

Am on the 'net' quite often and for extended periods of time perusing scientific sites and historical ones as well. Have BSCE degree from California State University, military experience,and other professional history.

Hello. As instructed in the welcome message, I am here to introduce myself. I'm a Norwegian man in my forties with an above average interest in all kinds of science. I am youtube educated, so of course I know everything. Nah, just kidding. It is true that I am youtube "educated", so I have...

I was a 17 year old student of science at school and now I’m 46 and want learn as much as possible.

I am not a student, nor my everyday work is related to physics in any way. Basically I am an enthusiast on physics, and I have question whose answers I like to find.

I’ve heard at least a million times that you need to understand physics, but never actually understood in which way? When I study, I understand what the textbook says and how to apply it. But questioning why is it the way it is, usually confuses me and many times leaves me uncertain, I doubt it...

Hello, I'm Logan Monday, and today was the first time I've ever visited this forum website before. It seems like a great platform, and a very knowledgeable community, so I couldn't help, but join in with it myself. I love science in general, but I'm very passionate about Computer Science...

Hiya! I spend most of my free time thinking about physics and concepts. I want to strengthen areas where my knowledge is weak as I do not learn or digest information linearly. This presents some problems when trying to digest mathematical concepts or I probably would have felt inclined to study...

I'm making a big life change. Physics has always been a hobby of mine, but going back to college to finish a long overdue degree in physics. I'd love to find some social circles, particularly since I don't have any friends in this area yet. As far as college, I'm in my 40s, so I'm probably...

I am interested in many subjects; history, physics, biology, art... well, just about everything. Why? Because the only truly useless knowledge is the knowledge you don't have. My interest in the sciences mainly derives from three sources: 1) my Dad's ongoing interest, as a layman, in sub-atomic...

My name is Ebenezer Akutteh and I am a 16 year old student in Ghana pursuing a general science course in secondary school.I'm in shs1 and I found this website while I was looking for answers to the laws of cosine and sine for vector addition in a parallelogram to determine the resultant...

Sometimes there are commercials that have pitches based on some scientific thing. Here is one I like about the car's stability based on the chicken's (well known) ability to keep its head stable when its body moves in some way. (Probably based on both visual and proprioception of its body...
