Electricity: Faster than light!
The experiments of Sir Charles Wheatstone showed that the velocity of electricity is about 288,000 miles per second, much greater than the speed of light, which we all consider as the ultimate barrier. [1, 2, 3, 4] However in order to interpret this we must understand what “electricity” is. In fact we do not have…

DIVISION BY ZERO (1/0 = One)
A number cannot be divided by zero. This is what mathematics today claim. But think again. Some years ago, it was not possible to have a number whose square results in a negative number. But then… we thought… why not? And now we have imaginary numbers with tons of applications. Zero is a useful tool…

Absolute temperatures, efficiency > 100%, definitions, “limits”…
What is normal to most people in winter has so far been impossible in physics: a minus temperature. On the Celsius scale minus temperatures are only surprising in summer. On the absolute temperature scale, which is used by physicists and is also called the Kelvin scale, it is not possible to go below zero. Physicists…
