For more than three hundred years, Amonons first law has been one of the most reliable principles of physics. Written by the French physicist Guillaume Amontons in his 1699 book De la résistance causée dans les machines, the law states that the force of friction is directly proportional to the applied load, which means that … Read more

“Hearst Magazines and Yahoo may receive commissions or other income from these links.” Here’s what you’ll learn by reading this story: Today, scientists do not find “laws” but rather perfect theories, they always know that there is more to learn. A new study shows why the centuries-old “laws” need to be changed, as the 300-year-old … Read more
In 1916, just a year after Albert Einstein published his general theory of relativity, Karl Schwarzschild used mathematical calculations to show this: If enough mass were packed into a very small volume, then this dense enough mass would create a region where the gravitational force is so strong that nothing, including light, could escape from … Read more
