What does it mean when your walking pace matches the resonance frequency of the container you’re carrying. Or – how not to get completely splashed with fish water, physics-style!

These updates are available in the SPS National website. 2nd Week, June 10th Another Physics week just ended and we’re on our way to our third week. Wow. I know it’s a cliche to say time flies (not to mention it’s not very physical), but it sure felt like it. During the weekend we decided [...]

PhysicsQuest project is absolutely awesome, but experiments, it seems, are easier devised than actually done!

Easy strategy to deal with most physics problems in homework or exams, or just for fun. Stop panicking, and become a physics whiz!

Fermion calculator helps you calculate physical equations with the use of constants. Pick the right constant from the list, and use it properly for your calculation.

We can barely make out our own planet from the edge of our own solar system. Do you think we can see man-made structures from the center of our galaxies? Of course not. Does that mean they’re not visible from space?

Astrologers claim that the positions of the planets and “Zodiac” signs (constellations of stars) at the moment of our birth – and generally throughout our lives – affect our personality, mood and affairs.
We are going to test this hypothesis.

I thought it will be interesting to share this essay with you, as it was an exercise in critical thinking, one that I enjoyed researching. It raises some important issues about the scientific method and how important it is for scientists to constantly make sure they follow it.

Richard Saunders (Australian Skeptics, Skeptic Zone podcast, and more) brings the astrologer back to Earth and away from fantasy.

Here it was again this year, The Amazing Meeting 7 in Las Vegas, organized by the James Randi Educational Foundations (JREF). As you may remember from last year’s updates, TAM is usually awesome and this year was no exception.
