You might have heard about the strange results of Einstein's relativity and quantum mechanics, but the physics of everyday objects can be just as surprising! Through demonstrations, we'll explore the counter-intuitive physics behind gyroscopes, bouncing balls, pendulums, rocket ships and more. Along the way, we'll observe several of the most important ideas in physics, including the law conservation of momentum and the concept of a frame of reference. Some knowledge of physics might help your understanding, but everything will be shown without assuming prior knowledge.
