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!

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.

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.

The “losing weight” trend is one of the better outcomes of reality TV, and it encourages people to take charge of their lives and live a healthier life. But there’s one thing that bugs me about this trend: The terminology.

A fun experiment with Richard Saunders and mooeypoo, demonstrating what happens when a 3D object (Richard\’s face) is transfered into a 2D surface (A piece of cloth).

Water is dense. Alcohol is Dense. But they’re not the same density, no siree. They’re differently densed. Which means we can use that to our advantage. And we do, in this experiment. Well, this is more of a “Show off your geektitude” physics trick that will amaze and enchant your buddies anywhere! Okay, well, maybe [...]
