It’s moments after the Big Bang and you’re still reeling. You’re a particle of matter, amidst a chaotic stew of forces, fusion, and annihilation.
What are gravitational waves? - Amber L. Stuver
Adults Physics
In September 2015, scientists witnessed something never seen before: two black holes colliding. Both about 30 times as big as our Sun, they had been orbiting each other for millions of years. A fraction of a second before the crash, they sent a vibration across the universe at the speed of light that was picked up by the LIGO detector. So what are these ripples in space? Amber L. Stuver explains.

Why no one has measured the speed of light
Adults Physics
Physics students learn the speed of light, c, is the same for all inertial observers but no one has ever actually measured it in one direction.
Do You Expand With The Universe?
Adults Physics
As the universe expands, is said to "stretch" photons. But if it stretches photons, does it also stretch molecules, galaxies and you? A portion of this video was sponsored by Salesforce.
Why Gravity is NOT a Force
