Mr. Dawson, why is gravity different in math than in physics?

I was actually asked this question yesterday by one of my physics students. He was surprised to see a figure of 32 in his pre-calculus book associated with the acceleration due to gravity on earth, rather than the 9.8 we had been discussing in class. Of course, he...

From study to action and the media is culpable

We in the media have eliminated the lag time between a drug study coming out and recommending action. It's time we cut it out. (Picture of Avorvastatin from NYU's Clinical Correlations, the latest entry in our blogroll. Go Violets!) Or it might be time to hand out...

Exploring the fourth dimension

Does our universe have more than four dimensions -- four spatial dimensions plus time? According to some American scientists, the answer is yes. Their new theory of gravity is challenging Einstein's general relativity. They think that the discovery of hidden "black holes" in the "dark matter" of our universe can...

NASA's 20-G centrifuge machineUmm, haven't they had this for decades?Tax dollars at work!Why they use this for thatIt's the difference in gravity they're looking at: Theres a huge difference percentage wise between ultra-low gravity on a spacecraft and gravity on earth. Similiarly, there is a huge difference (percentage wise, again)...
