Can you survive a lightning strike?

Approximately 30% of direct and indirect lightning strikes lead to loss of life, although one person who would have said an emphatic yes to this question was Roy ‘lightning rod’ Sullivan. He was struck by lightning on seven witnessed occasions. Roy was a park ranger in Shenandoah National park in the USA for all his […]

What equations do I need to know for the Edexcel IGCSE physics exam for the Waves ( light, EM Spectrum and sound) topic?

In the list below the equations are grouped into the ones that need learning for IGCSE Edexcel double award (4SD0) and Physics only specification (8463).There are no equations in this topic that are paper 2 only so all students of IGCSE Edexcel Physics need to memorize all the equations. The AQA specification unlike Edexcel IGCSE […]

Astrophysicist says he know how to time travel

Astrophysicist Ron Mallett believes he’s found a way to travel back in time — theoretically. The tenured University of Connecticut physics professor recently told CNN that he’s written a scientific equation that could serve as the foundation for an actual time machine. He’s even built a prototype device to illustrate a key component of his theory — though […]
