Report on “Physics of the Impossible” by Michio Kaku The most recent book that I have read is “Physics of the Impossible” written by Michio Kaku. It seems like the author doesn’t know the meaning of the word “impossible”‚ or rather‚ to be slightly more accurate‚ he has redefined the term to enable him realistically to examine and predict the future of science and technologies‚ from teleportation and time travel to robots and starships. Michio Kaku is an esteemed theoretical physicist and one of

people fail to realize the importance of physics in athletics. People who are untrained in the scientific field may believe that an athlete’s performance level is solely based on their skill-set‚ such as strength and training. However‚ one’s ability to employ physics concepts is the true determinant for success. This is imperative to dancers; most movement and technique can be improved dramatically by following Newton’s laws accordingly. By utilizing key physics concepts‚ a dancer can improve by locating

AS Level Physics: Terms & Definitions:- Measurement Random errors are errors of measurements that result in a scatter of readings about a mean value. Systematic errors are errors of measurement which occur according to some fixed patterns such that they consistently give out an over-estimation or under-estimation of the true value. Accuracy is a measure of how close the results of an experiment agree with the true value. Precision is a measure of how close the results of an experiment

Physics Moment of a force: Moment of a force = force x perpendicular distance of the line if action if the force from fulcrum Law of moments: When a body is in equilibrium the sum of the clockwise moments about any point equals the sum of the anticlockwise moments about the same point. Centre of mass: Centre of mass is the point where whole mass of the body assumes to be concentrated. II. If the vertical line through the centre of mass is outside the base it will be a topples but if it’s passed

UNSOLVED MYSTERIES Unsolved Mysteries - Beyond the standard model The Standard Model is nowhere near perfect. It may explain the six quarks‚ leptons‚ and four forces‚ but it is not complete. There are still questions about antimatter‚ dark matter‚ and the inability for the Standard Model to predict particle mass. There is no guarantee that quarks and leptons are actually fundamental. Lastly‚ scientists still don’t understand gravity’s role. Unsolved Mysteries - The standard model as a theory
