Storm in a Teacup
As we go about our everyday lives, we rarely stop to notice the physics that propel every action and reaction of the day’s routine. Physics is responsible for completing seemingly mundane tasks. From making our toast in the morning, to popping popcorn for a late-night snack, we rely on physical reactions to carry out these simple functions. When we stop to notice the physics and patterns in our world, a new appreciation of the wondrous beauty of our earth and civilization comes into focus.
