There are quite a few fundamental constants. These are things like the speed of light (c) the charge on an electron (e), and the Planck constant (h). These constants are determined with some type of ...

Ever since Newton published his universal law of gravitation in 1687, anyone with a slide rule and a half decent education could calculate the force of gravity on a falling body or a planet in orbit.

Weight is the force acting on an object due to gravity - it has the unit newtons (N) and acts towards the centre of a gravitational field. So weight is a gravitational force on an object that has mass ...

Why is Christian Science in our name? Our name is about honesty. The Monitor is owned by The First Church of Christ, Scientist, and we’ve always been transparent about that. The church publishes the ...

Scientists have calculated the ancient signals that emerged just after the Big Bang. These signals come from a long-lost cosmological phenomena known as ‘oscillons,’ the gravitational wave sources ...

There are some things in life that just sort of happen. Desks get covered in dust and scraps of paper. Clothes get dirty and the laundry basket fills up. Weeds slowly creep across an untended ...
