How subjects help

A famous name

Richard Feynman: Shared the 1965 Nobel Prize in Physics for work on how light and matter interact.

Try it yourself: Build a paper bridge

  1. Put the books about a ruler apart and lay one flat sheet across the gap.
  2. Add coins to the middle one at a time. How many before it sags to the table?
  3. Now fold a new sheet into a zigzag (like a fan) or roll it into tubes, and test again.
  4. Which shape held the most? Can you beat your record with one more idea?

Engineers and builders do the same loop for real: build, load it, find the weak spot, improve the shape.

Also try: Watch the Moon and model it.
