Beta Decay and the Weak Force
In order for physicists to understand the reasons for beta decay, a new nuclear force had to be developed - a task accomplished by Enrico Fermi in 1934.

The Four Forces of Nature
The four known natural forces are, from strongest to weakest: strong nuclear, electromagnetic, weak nuclear, and gravity. Without forces structure could not exist.

Trap at Stalingrad
When the battle of Stalingrad began at the end of August 1942, the Red Army was nearing defeat. Brilliant Soviet street fighting tactics, daring operational thinking and serious German errors combined to reverse Soviet fortune. By the end of November the Soviets had trapped the powerful German 6th Army inside Stalingrad - it was more than they expected.

Alien call I.
First contact will probably - if it ever takes place - not be face to face, instead, a distant call may be radioed purposefully or not. Neither will it be a true dialogue unless some fundamental physics breakthrough emerges. For decades now, many people are scanning the dial looking for signals. You may help too.

Nature's magnifying glass
Predicted by General Relativity, gravitational lenses catapulted Einsteins's reputation as much as they are handy tools today to tackle one of Cosmology thorniest issues, the discovery and census of dark matter.
