"Physics isn't hard. The way it's usually taught is."

Most physics content falls into one of two traps. It's either buried in equations that scare off curious readers, or it's so watered down it stops being real science. Physics Fiction sits in the middle. Every post uses a story you already know — a movie, a bicycle, an ice cube floating in your glass — to explain what's really going on. The M.Sc. Physics background behind this blog means the science is accurate. The teaching experience means it's actually readable.
