Rhett AllainI couldn't help myself. I had to do a #spiderman #physics post from the new trailer. Here I estimate the strength of Spider-Man's webs.

The Cable to the Moon: Veritasium's Light Bulb Experiment in Low-Cost Miniature Form
In a popular YouTube video by the channel Veritasium, the following question is posed: Imagine you have a giant circuit consisting of a battery, a switch, a light bulb, and two wires which are each 300,000 km long. That is the distance that light travels in one second. So, they [the wires] would reach out halfway to the Moon and then come back to be connected to the light bulb, which is one meter away. Now the question is: After I close this switch, how long would it take for the light bulb to light up: Is it half a second, one second, two seconds, 1m/c or none of the above? As part of the Physics Specialist Camp 2022 in Seifhennersdorf -- a final event of the Saxon Physics Olympiad -- students from grades 9 and 10 built a miniature model consisting of a printed circuit board and two 10-meter cables to experimentally study the question. This article describes the experimental setup, presents some exemplary results, and explains them in detail. To enable reconstruction for educational purposes, the final PCB layout, as well as the supply sources and design considerations, are provided.
Lautaro VergaraI want to express my heartfelt gratitude to the three reviewers of my book proposal, whose positive feedback is encouraging.
It's time to refine my manuscript and bring it closer to publication with Oxford University Press.
Feeling both thrilled and deeply grateful.
Joe HeafnerDon't know how I didn't already know about this, but yesterday I stumbled onto what looks to be a complete set of basic grad level physics courses by Konstantin K. Likharev at Stony Brook University. Printed books are available for very cheap but everything is right here as PDF. Looks excellent. #ITeachPhysics
Facundo BatistaCon alegría les contamos que ya liberamos (*) el 20° capítulo del libro "Python en Ámbitos Científicos", es "Python: Clases" y lo pueden descargar de acá: https://pyciencia.taniquetil.com.ar/
(*) es en modo borrador, se irán ajustando detalles antes de incluirlo en el libro completo, ¡pueden darnos feedback!
Robert McNeesOh, very neat: a library of open access academic books. The section on Physics has a few classics, as well as some nice new books.
