This post will conclude our series on the four fundamental forces of physics with our final post on the gravitational force. If you haven’t read them before, check out the links below to read about the three other forces that…
This the third post in our series on the Four Fundamental Forces in the universe. If this post is the first you’ve read so far, check out these two as well: The Strong Force The Weak Force In this post…
Welcome back to round two of the four fundamental forces of physics! If you haven’t already read it, we strongly recommend that you check out our first post in this series – The Strong Force. As we mentioned in the…
In this post we’re going to start a new series in exploring the four fundamental forces, which is how all stuff interacts with itself and everything else [source]. The four fundamental forces of physics are: Strong Weak Gravitation Electromagnetism Gravity…

History of Optics Around 500-300 BC in the early Greeks, important figures such as Democritus believed that the reason our eyes could see was because our eyes emitted light, or simulacra as he called it, and once it hit a…
Ever wonder how this is possible? You’ve seen it in major sports around the world, from soccer to baseball, the deadly curveball. It’s pretty obvious just looking at it that it has something to do with spin, but how does…
In 1943, Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto, the greatest military commander of the Japanese navy, went to visit one of the front line bases to boost morale. The plan of his visit was communicated through an encoded message through the Japanese Naval…
In our last post on supervised learning, we investigated how an agent could make a function f(x) = y, to train itself to best fit your data. Let’s see how we do this in python, and start with an easier…
If you’ve gone to engineering school or seen too much of “The Big Bang Theory”, you’ve probably heard someone say, with a semi-smug voice: “light isn’t a particle or a wave, it’s both”. After they’re done patting themselves on the…
Previously published AI-related blog posts: Artificial Intelligence – Bayes Network Artificial Intelligence – Machine Learning from Supervised learning Earlier in our AI blog series we have covered topics that have been quite comprehensive and theoretical, so it’s time we show…
Disclaimer: Be aware that this topic is more theoretical than most of our other blog posts. After all this is NOT an easy subject to comprehend. But hang in there, because this will be an important building block before we…
This post will be the first in a series on Artificial Intelligence (AI), where we will investigate the theory behind AI and incorporate some practical examples. The first, and perhaps most important section of this series, will be on probability,…
In the previous section on laser 101, we looked at how a laser works on an atomic scale. We discussed key concepts such as the important correlation between frequency, wavelength and energy. A quick recap is that energy is proportional…
