"We believe that general relativity only works on large or 'macroscopic' scales, but that on very short distances, or microscopic scales, it must be replaced by a quantum theory of gravity which ...

The equation can be written as follows: 1/v^2 * ∂^2y/∂t^2= ∂^2y/∂x^2. In this equation, v is the velocity of a wave, and the other parts describe the displacement of the wave in one direction.

Physics equations compete for your approval, exoplanets that never were. 18 Mar 2022 Hamish Johnston. Schrödinger equation: which equation will be the people’s choice. (Courtesy: iStock/piranka) What ...

First among equals – James Clerk Maxwell. Earlier this year I asked readers to send me their shortlists of great equations. I also asked them to explain why their nominations belonged on the list and ...

Familiarize yourself with Schrödinger’s equation if you like physics, since it’s one of the most important equations around. It’s the basic rule of quantum mechanics, the same way that ...

If you hang around with physics people long enough, some­one eventually will bring up Maxwell's equations. Maybe as part of a joke, or on a T-shirt or a tattoo. But they'll be somewhere. So even ...

Brian Greene: When we talk about vibration in physics, we have an interesting set of equations, mathematical equations that govern how a system vibrates. So if we have a string on a violin, we ...

Maxwell's Equations tell us a lot about electromagnetic interactions and physics. In the mid-1800s, Scottish physicist James Maxwell thought something interesting was going on with electric fields.
