[id: two tweets by @ PhysicsMatt. 1: “If you’re mad and find yourself yelling that you want someone launched into the Sun, take a moment, calm yourself, and remember that it takes a lot less Delta v to launch them out of the Solar System instead.” 2: “You can be mad, but that’s no excuse to be inefficient with propellant.” /end id]

Disk World?

Discworld by CarbonNYC [in SF!] (cc by)

PhysicsMatt answers "why the event horizon is a disk rather than a sphere," and RedOrGreen explains a bit about interferometry (and other stuff) in the Mefi thread on the reveal of the first black hole image.

This website has videos answering really crazy questions, like what would happen if you put your hand in front of the beam in the Large Hadron Collider? They’re really worth a watch! :D

Thank you!

Hello Physics Lovers!

I just wanted to thank everyone who’s followed and enjoyed this blog over the last year! Setting up and then running Physics Matters has been really fun and I hope it has enthused you to be as excited about Physics as I am. I hope you all learnt something new and found some cool Physicsy sites!

Please continue to follow and check Physics Matters as I’m sure that the Physicists who will be running the blog after me will do an awesome job! :D

Have fun and keep loving Physics!

Elena :D

Somewhere over the rainbow...

When you shine white light at a prism, it is split into a spectrum of the 7 colours of the rainbow. This is because visible white light is made up of all of those 7 colours. When you shine the light through the prism, the different colours travel at different speeds to each other through the glass (as even though they travel at the same speed in a vacuum and air - near enough - they don’t in other substances). They are therefore bent (as one part of the light wave enters first and is slowed down before other parts of the same wave) and travel at different angles. These different angles mean they are seen out of the other side of the prism as separate colours.

The same thing happens when white light from the sun goes through raindrops, however, the light is also reflected inside the raindrop. To see a rainbow you must be able to see the shadow of your head/have your back to the sun as the sunlight will go towards the raindrops and be reflected inside the raindrops back towards your eyes allowing you to see the rainbow.

Oh wow I have wasted far too much time on this site! It is an Instagram with videos of physics related toys and curiosities. I particularly liked the refraction jewellery and the spinning top with the snake!

This website is brilliant for aspiring physicists, especially younger ones with it’s easy to use and colourful format.

A cool Physics video channel where colourful drawings help you understand fun, and often surprising, Physics. I discovered this site a couple of years ago whilst trying to find out what Schrodinger’s Cat was and have happily wasted many hours on it since then.
