Think physics only lives in textbooks and science labs? Think again. In this episode, we break down how physics is baked into your everyday life, from the way you walk and sip your coffee to how your phone works and why doors are designed the way they are. No jargon, no equations, just real-world science you already use, without realizing it. If you've ever opened a faucet, turned a steering wheel, or spilled your latte, congratulations: you're a physicist in disguise. Tune in and learn how the universe is quietly working with you, every step of the way. 🔍 In This Episode, You'll Learn: Why walking without falling is a physics masterpiece, and what inverted pendulums have to do with it. The science behind everyday things like sloshing coffee, door handles, and boiling water. How your smartphone uses physics every time you swipe, tilt, or tap. 🔗 Resources Mentioned: Physics Classroom – Real-World Applications of Newton's Laws How Stuff Works – How Touchscreens Work Veritasium: Why It's Hard to Walk on Ice (YouTube) MinutePhysics: The Physics of Sloshing Coffee 🔗 Explore more on our website: mathsciencehistory.com 📚 To buy my book Hypatia: The Sum of Her Life on Amazon, visit https://a.co/d/g3OuP9h  🌍 Let's Connect!
