(CNN) — Scientists have made a leap forward in understanding the pattern and structure of turbulence — a natural phenomenon observed in fluids such as moving water, ocean currents, chemical reactions, ...

Yeah, tribology engineers don't care about turbulence either. It must be nice to work in fluid mechanics and not care about inertia at all. Nice linear equations... Well, certainly assumptions of ...

(via PBS Space Time) The Fine Structure Constant is one the strangest numbers in all of physics. It’s the job of physicists to worry about numbers, but there’s one number that physicists have stressed ...

Dark matter is one of the biggest unsolved problems in modern physics. It does not emit or reflect light, making it invisible ...

With regard to fusion, we really have no choice other than to build the machine and run the experiments directly. Also, turbulent instabilities are only a fraction of the physics necessary to model a ...
