Black holes exist in our universe. That’s widely accepted today. Physicists have detected the X-rays emitted when black holes feed, analyzed the gravitational waves from black hole collisions and even ...

CHICAGO (WLS) -- Ever wonder how much wind it takes to knock you over? Well there is actually a mathematical equation we can use to calculate the wind speed needed to move objects and people. That ...

An eminent mathematician reveals that his advances in the study of millennia-old mathematical questions owe to concepts derived from physics. Mathematics is full of weird number systems that most ...

Everything in physics is described by an equation. Equations can describe the shape of lines, curves, surfaces, and just about any object you can think of. In fact, you’d be hard-pressed to think of ...

At the turn of the 20th century, the renowned mathematician David Hilbert had a grand ambition to bring a more rigorous, mathematical way of thinking into the world of physics. At the time, physicists ...
