Spinning toys and tops have unusual behaviors. The famous tippe top flips itself over and spins on its stem. The PhiTOP stands up on its end, which you can also do with a hard-boiled egg. These behaviors all have to do with torque and angular momentum, like a bicycle wheel precessing around a rope due

Ever wonder how Einstein proved E=mc²? This is how. Pi day (3.14) is Albert Einstein’s Birthday!

This episode is brought to you by Squarespace: ‪http://www.squarespace.com/physicsgirl Black holes are not as black as we once thought. They are theorized to die a slow death by evaporation, emitting energy known as Hawking radiation. But the mechanism for evaporation is not well understood. Then again, no one has ever even directly detected a black
