Debunking misconceptions about physics

Physics is a branch of science that deals with the nature and properties of matter and energy. Basically, it helps us put rules to how our universe works — and, obviously, it's pretty complex. Inevitably, though, some facts may get skewed or misinterpreted. Here's one: There is no gravity in space. Turns out, there is.

Why is glass clear?

If the Earth were one giant atom, the nucleus would be so small it would fit inside a baseball stadium. That means the rest of the world would just be electrons. So, if atoms are made of basically empty space, why doesn't light pass right through them? Why isn't everything and everyone transparent? And what makes some objects, like glass, see-through?
