In an inertial frame of reference, a body with zero net force acting on it does not accelerate. When scientists speak of inertial frames of reference, they're invoking a coordinate system with no ...

A team of researchers from the University of Glasgow and the University of Southampton has devised a novel way to test quantum mechanics in a non-inertial reference frame by using a rotating ...

This PSSC film made in 1960 is one of the finest physics films ever made. All students should see it at some point in their studies. See the article '"Frames of Reference" revisited' by Alistair Steyn ...
