The faster-than-light travel in Star Wars involves some otherworldly acceleration. Here's how to calculate the g-forces of a hyperspace jump.

A presenter-led science video about the relationship between force and acceleration, with Dr Maggie Aderin-Pocock and Dr Alex Lathbridge.

Physics and Python stuff. Most of the videos here are either adapted from class lectures or solving physics problems. I really like to use numerical calculations without all the fancy programming ...

Rapid particle acceleration is possible using a fixed-field alternating-gradient machine—but ‘scaling’ in its design has been necessary to avoid beam blow-up and loss. The demonstration now ...

NVIDIA demonstrated acceleration with Havok at GDC, if your author remembers rightly, but ATI were absent from that particular physics fanfare.
