Doctor Who Season 2 Episode 3 "School Reunion"

So in the third episode of the second season of Doctor Who, the Tenth Doctor had a brief stint as a physics teacher. To clarify, the man with the glasses is the Tenth Doctor, not be confused with the Eleventh Doctor who was in the last post. Anyways, he asks the class some questions to test their knowledge. One question was this: "I coil up a thin piece of nichrome wire and place it in a glass of water, then I turn on the electricity and measure to see if the water temperature's affected. My q

Doctor Who 2011 Christmas Special: "The Doctor, the Widow, and the Wardrobe"

Hello again! This one I had to talk about because there is just so much wrong with the beginning that I don't even know where to start. Scratch that, yes I do. Let's start with the Doctor falling out of a spaceship exploding in orbit, that seems like a good place to me. I'm not sure if the Doctor has special lungs that don't need air (pretty sure that is not the case) but he survived for like 5 minutes hurtling towards Earth in space with no atmosphere. Than he reaches out into space and

Blog Post #1

Hello! If you are reading this then you've found your way to my physics blog. To be honest, I did not expect to be doing this sort of a thing when I chose to take AP Physics C, but I'm not complaining either. A little about me first then. I believe I am fairly strong intellectually, particularly with math and science because I find it much more interesting than most other subjects. I hoping that AP Physics C will help me improve my calculus skills though, as the concepts are new to me. H

AP Physics C Midterm

Ok, so today is my midterm and I've been studying and looking over my notes and everything and I think I'm about ready. The test is going to be an actual AP Mechanics exam I guess, so I've done a few practice ones and such to get ready for it. I'm hoping that I can get at least a 4 on this thing. This going to be a short post for now but I plan to update this later after the exam so I can complain talk about it. I guess that's all I have to say for now. Wish me luck! OK, that's one

A REAL Sonic Screwdriver!

Ok this is not about an episode, but you probably already guessed that. I found this article online about a team of physicists at the University of Dundee in the UK actually creating a functioning sonic screwdriver. The link for teh article is right below here. Just to clarify first though, the sonic screwdriver is the Doctor's tool for almost everything- opening doors, manipulating technology, scaring off bad guys- almost anything really. Now, check this out: http://scitechdaily.com/physicis
