STEM to Stern: The Physics of Everyday Stuff!Ever wondered why doorknobs aren’t right next to the hinges? Or how a straw magically brings water to your mouth? In this episode, Jake (our resident physics whiz) breaks down the surprising science behind everyday objects, and it’s not as simple as “because it just works.”We’re talking torque, atmospheric pressure, density, light vs. sound waves, touchscreen conductivity, and yes … why fish don’t get squashed by ice when lakes freeze over. Questions we’re asking:Would a straw work on the moon?Why can you hear someone around a corner, but not see them?Could your phone screen protector be sabotaging your swipes?This one’s full of “wait, what?!” moments, and we want to hear from YOU. Do you have some physics knowledge you’d like to share? What everyday object makes you wonder how it works?
