A sneeze. Ocean currents. Smoke. What do these have in common? They're instances of turbulence: unpredictable, chaotic, ...
In physics, there are two great pillars of thought that don't quite fit together. The Standard Model of particle physics ...
The Lagrangian approach to physics is part of the general category of least action principles, of which the easiest to explain is Fermat's Principle from optics, which holds that light rays moving ...
Physics and Python stuff. Most of the videos here are either adapted from class lectures or solving physics problems. I really like to use numerical calculations without all the fancy programming ...
According to Newton's Laws, opposing forces must equal out. This applies even to the gravitational tug between planets. Lagrangian points are where these forces cancel out.
Scientists are on the trail of a mysterious five-particle structure that could challenge one of the biggest theories in ...
Lagrange points are gravitationally balanced locations where spacecraft can perform their missions.
A simulation of Lagrangian turbulence, with a ballistic region on the right, superdiffusing into a Lagrangian region, followed by an Eulerian region and finally, according to the researchers, a ...
Today we give thanks for the Lagrangian of the Standard Model of Particle Physics, after electroweak symmetry breaking, with no explicit Higgs boson. It's served us well for three decades, ...
