Viscosity
The property of a liquid that makes it resist flow or any change in the arrangement of its molecules. The higher the viscosity, the "thicker" a liquid seems.
 

  Physics Quote


It is impossible to trap modern physics into predicting anything with perfect determinism because it deals with probabilities from the outset.
    Sir Arthur Eddington (1882 - 1944)

The title of this article is somewhat misleading, as nobody truly conceives quantum mechanics. It is called conceptual only because no math is involved. Interested in the theory but still unable to understand what is going? This could help.
No Nuclear Energy from Iron

Fusion is a nuclear process that powers the stars; it also provides electricity to homes and businesses; while fission at times is used to induce fusion. The products, the elements produced during these nuclear processes, proceed in the direction of a common element, Iron

Energy-system relationships have interested me ever since I saw that one episode of Sesame Street...but seriously, ever wanted to understand the basic idea of the surrounding, the system, and the transfer of energy? Read on.
A Brief Introduction to Quantum Mechanics (and Quantum Numbers)

I heard a fellow Physics major say "There's nothing cuter than someone trying to understand Quantum Mechanics." So go ahead and print this article and read it in front of someone you happen to like.

Special Relativity, a Comprehensive Guide

 Type: Summary

It has been said that only a handful of people on the planet understand the concept of Einstein’s Theory of Relativity. Upon first site, the theory can appear incomprehensible and against common sense. But if one is willing to take a good, hard look at nature, it is possible to grasp its basics without painful confusion. Even if you are familiar with relativity, read the section on the Twin Paradox. You may have never heard it explained in this way!

As technology being invented ever more quickly, science as a whole has improved. We have found more and more ways to fire rockets into the cosmos, we also discovered more and more ways to send satellites up the sky to form a GPS system, to bring live weather forecast, and much more could a satellite do.
