Renewable Energy

The Department of Defense and FlexEnergy have opened a Flex Powerstation in Georgia. The Flex Powerstation will generate energy from a landfill with barely any emissions.

How would you feel if your energy was produced from a landfill? And do you think that this is a good idea?

"Humans vs. Zombies" - the math

I hope someone is taking down data of this "Humans vs. Zombies" game to see if it matches the mathematical model.

Hey guys let me know what you think of this article.

Here are the major fields of physics, look over them and discusses your preference with us!

Chaos - the study of systems with strong sensitivity to initial conditions, so a slight change at the beginning quickly become major changes in the system

Chemical Physics - the study of physics in chemical systems

Computational Physics - the application of numerical methods to solve physical problems for which a quantitative theory already exists

Cosmology - the study of the universe as a whole, including its origins and evolution

Cryophysics / Cryogenics / Low Temperature Physics - the study of physical properties in low temperature situations, far below the freezing point of water

Crystallography - the study of crystals and crystalline structures

Electromagnetism - the study of electrical and magnetic fields, which are two aspects of the same phenomenon

Electronics - the study of the flow of electrons, generally in a circuit

Fluid Dynamics / Fluid Mechanics - the study of the physical properties of "fluids," specifically defined in this case to be liquids and gases
