The grid is an accident of history and of culture, in no way intrinsic to how we produce, deliver and consume electrical power. Yet this is the system the United States ended up with, a jerry-built structure now so rickety and near collapse that a strong wind or a hot day can bring it to a grinding halt. The grid is now under threat from a new source: renewable and variable energy, which puts stress on its logics as much as its components.

The Man Who Mastered Gravity is an intimate profile of Thomas Townsend Brown, a little-known scientist whose unorthodox ideas about electricity and gravity have made him the subject of decades of speculation and intrigue. Brown developed his novel concepts while serving in the U.S. Navy through the 1930s. In the first months of World War II he was abruptly discharged–despite his expertise in radio, radar, and mine sweeping.

You never knew that theoretical physics could be so simple! In this exciting and significant audiobook, Andrew Thomas reveals how all unifications in physics have been based on incredibly simple ideas.

Understanding the distinction between mass and weight is fundamental in physics and everyday life. While these terms are often used interchangeably, they actually refer to different properties of an object. Let's delve into the definitions and explore the differences, accompanied by practical examples to illustrate these concepts.Mass is a measure of the amount of matter in an object. It is an intrinsic property that remains constant regardless of the object's location. The mass of an object is typically measured in kilograms (kg) or grams (g). For instance, if you have a box with a mass of 2 ...
