There have been plenty of problems that have scared the shit out of me. In my PHYSICS 360 final, for example, I remember there being a special relativity question that I had no idea how to even begin.

An example of why turbulence is said to be an unsolved problem is that we can’t generally predict the speed at which an orderly, non-turbulent (“laminar”) flow will make the transition to a ...

Quantum physics problem proved unsolvable Gödel and Turing enter quantum physics Date: December 9, 2015 Source: University College London Summary: A mathematical problem underlying fundamental ...

New research published in Nature Physics by collaborating scientists from Stanford University in the U.S. and University College Dublin (UCD) in Ireland has shown that a novel type of highly ...

Here is classic (and difficult) physics problem that poses an interesting question: Take two points in space, Point 1 and Point 2. What is the path from point 1 to 2 that a frictionless object ...

No matter what that Intro to Physics book says, you can't calculate the "work done by friction." Nope. Doesn't work. Don't even try it.

The problem with physics. ... For example, one needs only first ... The problems that arise from modelling particles as vanishingly small points infect all advanced areas of physics.

Their study was motivated by problems in experimental physics, but uses tools from theoretical physics and mathematics. "Via the mathematical structure of these, ... "For example, if you have a ...

In physics, many domains are governed by the same underlying equations, such as Maxwell’s equations for electromagnetics, for example. But in today’s approach, each simulation is treated as a ...
