Chladni Patterns: How Sand Draws the Shape of S...
Bow the edge of a sand-dusted metal plate and the sand leaps into sharp geometric lines. Those lines are the places that do not move. Here is the physics of...

What Are Lagrange Points, and Why Does JWST Sit...
Lagrange points are five spots where a small object can keep pace with two big ones, like a spacecraft riding along with the Sun and Earth. We work out where...

Newton, Galileo and Kepler: What Each Got Right...
Kepler found that planets follow ellipses with the Sun at a focus. Galileo built the kinematics of free fall and projectile motion. Newton’s Principia united them under universal gravitation and...

How Does a Foucault Pendulum Prove Earth Rotates?
A long pendulum’s swing plane slowly turns relative to the floor. Foucault showed in 1851 that the turn is Earth’s rotation made visible. The rate is 360° times the sine...
