Physics is, essentially, how things work. From this category you will learn how it forms part of your world. The following links include definitions of physics terms and formulas, as well as daily updates on physics in the news. Links describe the latest research and show you physics in action, providing authoritative feature articles, news stories, analyses, book and product reviews, covering topics such as quantum physics, reality, light, dimension visualization, and chaos.

Are the 'Laws of Physics' Wrong? - There are possible problems with the equations of classical physics relating to work and energy. There follows a number of proofs that such is the case.
Ask the Experts - Answers to physics questions at Scientific American.
Eric Weisstein's Treasure Trove of Physics - Online encyclopedia of physics terms and formulas. Full searchable, and also browsable alphabetically and by topic. Part of Eric's Treasure Troves of Science.
Gravitational Bias and Escape Velocity - The equation defining universal gravitation always assumes the mass to be contained within an infinitesimally small, central point. However this is never actually the case and the equation would not work accurately at the Earth's surface. There are a number of consequences as a result of this.
Hypothesis on time - The aim of the following work is to suggest a new concept on the way of appreciating and measuring time.
Is the Special Theory of Relativity Wrong? - There follows a proof that the Special Theory of Relativity may be wrong. This may also have implications for the General Theory.
Physics Central - Find out how physics is part of your world. We answer your questions on how things work and keep you informed with daily updates on physics in the news. We describe the latest research and the people who are doing it and show you physics in action.
Physics Post - A tutorial and article driven community. Votes, science news and a discussion forum.
Physics Today - The flagship publication of the American Institute of Physics (AIP), and has been published monthly for more than 50 years. Provides authoritative feature articles, news stories, analyses, book and product reviews, a searchable job database, and obituaries.

PhysLINK - Links to physics departments, physical societies, journals, job information, and other physics related information.
Problems Explaining the Sky's Blue Colour - We are told that the sky's blue colour is the result of Rayleigh molecular scattering of light. However there are a number of defects with this explanation.
Proof that E could Never Equal mc˛. - There follows a proof that the E = mc˛ equation is not solidly founded. The root of the problem goes right back to classical physics.
