Delivering the lectures this spring will be UChicago postdoctoral scholar Yu-Chen Tung. His lectures will begin with the application of symmetry to classical physics and how the concept became ...

While teaching large physics lectures at MIT, Walter H. G. Lewin radiates enthusiasm. “And now, I’m going to blow your mind,” said Lewin before giving a lesson about electrical circuits that ...

Researchers have discovered a potentially important piece of the quantum/classical puzzle -- learning how the rules of physics in the quantum world (think smaller than microscopic) change when ...

The problem with introductory courses isn't that classical Newtonian physics is inherently less interesting than quantum physics and relativity, but that we don't do enough to make that material ...

Abstract While the concept of “classical physics” has long framed our understanding of the environment from which modern physics emerged, it has consistently been read back into a period in which the ...

Scientists are a little bit closer to unlocking the mystery of how the rules of the quantum realm translate to the rules of the classical physics of the observable world. Experts predict that the ...
