I bet we’ve all heard about string theory, relativity, and quantum mechanics. But chances are, most people don’t have a clue about them. I have recently discovered a series of videos that not only give a brief overview of everything physics, but do it in a witty, funny way! It’s called Minute Physics. It is…
