You don’t need to know the science to use some of the key concepts in science.

Newton ’s Second Law says the net force on an object equals its mass (m) times acceleration (a) It's all about interactions, like when you kick a soccer ball or drop a water bottle on the floor.

By using forces to describe interactions, we can do a bunch of awesome things like model the motion of a basketball in the air.

Maxwell 's equations describe everything you need to know about the electric field and the magnetic field.

Schrödinger 's equation is the mathematical model at the heart of quantum mechanics.

It gives a relationship between energy and frequency at the quantum level.

Einstein’s Energy-Mass Equivalence gives you a chance to give you a good chance to get a good idea of quantum physics.

In 2022 the US used 4.07 trillion kilowatt-hours of energy.

If you were able to take 11 baseballs and convert all of their mass into electrical energy, it would be enough to run the US for a year .

This is exactly what happens in a nuclear power plant.
