He was the only member of his family to make a mark in physics. ... The Hydrodynamica is both a theoretical and a practical study of equilibrium, pressure and velocity of fluids. He put forward what is called Bernoulli's principle, which states that the pressure in a fluid decreases as its velocity increases. ... About 1738, his father published Hydraulica; this attempt by Johann to obtain priority for himself was another instance of his antagonism toward his son. ... In 1732, he accepted a post in a botany and anatomy at Basel; in 1743, one in physiology; and in 1750, one in physics. ...

He was the only person in his family to make an impressive mark on physics. Bernoulli became a Swiss physicist and mathmatician who made enourmous contributions to the world of physics. ... He proved that as the velocity of fluid flow increases, its pressure decreases. ... Bernoulli's foregoing principle explains a number of phenomena about the behavior of liquids which, at first, seem strange. ... In conclusion, Bernoulli contributed much to the world and to the realm of physics. ...

Scientists are still debating the physics of Sonoluminescence. ... This shock wave compresses the bubble at a velocity of about Mach 1, causing the gas within the bubble to become so intensely hot that the gas ionizes. ...

The laws of physics are time-symmetric, which baisicly means that if there are objects called black holes into which things fall into but not get out, then there ought to be other objects that things can come out of but not fall into. ... He found that the uncertainty principle, which says that particles cannot have both a well-defined position of a particle and a well-defined velocity, allows particles to travel faster that light for a short distance, enabling particles and radiation to get out through the event horizon and escape out of a black hole. ...

However, its velocity varies between 750 and 500 kilometers per second and it has an average temperature, near Earth, of 150,000 degrees Kelvin. ... The point of termination shock on the edge of the heliosphere, or the boundary between our solar system and the interstellar medium, is called the heliopause; located, on its closest side, at approximately 100 Astronomical Units from the Sun, or 100 times the distance from Earth to the Sun and about twice as far as the Kuiper belt beyond Pluto. ... If it does, it will change or validate our view of the solar system and interstellar physics for...
