Ancient humans must have found eclipses unnerving and unpredictable. Periodically, they are not easy to understand because of their complex nature. It is both dramatic and transient when a solar eclipse takes place. Due to diffraction on the moon's surface and its jaggedness, a solar eclipse appears to remove the sun from the sky as the sun disappears. However this simple explanation has fascinated humans for thousands of years. Shrouded in mystery...

Since it was developed, Newton's law of gravitation and many other laws of physics cannot be derived from one grand underlying principle. Deriving Newton's law of gravitation or Einstein general relativity theory, would mean that gravity emerges from something else and that would mean that the only known Newton's law of universal gravity is no longer a fundamental law of physics.
Although this might be true, I believe that everything must have an...

In Newton's view, all objects exert a force that attracts other objects. That universal law of gravitation worked pretty well for predicting the motion of planets as well as objects on Earth and it's still used, for example, when making the calculations for a rocket launch. But unfortunately it cannot be derived from first principles.
While Newton was able to formulate his law of gravity in his monumental work, he was deeply uncomfortable with the...

That universal law of gravitation worked pretty well for predicting the motion of planets as well as objects on Earth and it's still used, for example, when making the calculations for a rocket launch. But Newton's view of gravity didn't work for some things, like Mercury's peculiar orbit around the sun. The orbits of planets shift over time, and Mercury's orbit shifted faster...

We all encounter gravity every day, but most people have little understanding of what gravity actually involves. We all learned about Newton in high school, but that interpretation is not a complete description of gravity. However, those interested in the subject quickly learn that the math used in our modern explanation of gravity (General Relativity) is overwhelming, suggesting that gravity can only be truly understood by highly trained scientists...

Stars. Massive gaseous bodies that radiate light derived from their internal sources. Only a very small percentage of the trillions of stars that make up the observable universe are visible with the naked eye. Several stars form pairs, multiple systems, or constellations. The members of such stellar groups have a common origin and are bound together by their mutual gravitational attraction. In some ways, star clusters and stellar associations are...

What is the Theory of Relativity? According to the Man Himself? This short article was originally written by Albert Einstein at the request of The London Times, in 1919, and it was intended for the general audience. If you are interested in getting a general overview, and the historical context, regarding Einstein's relativity, then this is the best introduction (~10 pages). (Despite the somewhat ambiguous title, however, this article will not teach...
