The world of physics is fascinating. We can explain many things with physics, both things from the everyday life and things not many even knew was possible. To start off with the double slit experiment you will need a light source and two slits very...

Down a rabbit hole: Has anyone ever measured the speed of light?

1 Dec 2020 1 minute read 4 comments stevea68

There are many apparently unresolved problems in "modern" physics, though I can't claim to know everything others are working on so my "timeline" of where-things-are-at in physics could be quite different (and even in more than one dimension) from ot...
