Jun 4, 2017
Oxford Calculators at the University of Oxford make breakthroughs in physics by applying mathematics to motion. They explore concepts such as force, resistance, and velocity. Additionally, they discuss the theory of motion in void and introduce alternative theories. The podcast also delves into the concepts and theories of the Oxford Calculators in the field of physics, including force and resistance ratios, speed and force relationships, and uniform and accelerated motion. Impetus and other innovations in physics by 14th-century thinkers are also mentioned.
