Shape of a hanging rope between two points - Mathematical analysis

Let's assume that we take a rope (or a chain as shown in the picture) and hang it up between two distinct points. We want to find the shape of the rope. What equation describes it? Here is where physics comes. Well...everything is about physics! Let's dive in. So we see that the equation that describes the shape of the rope is of a hyperbolic form!

Steven Weinberg - Nobel Prize winning physicist dies at 88

What a great physicist! I first read for him in the biography of Dimitri Nanopoulos who stated that they were very close friends and had worked many times together. Nanopoulos description of Weinberg made me curious to read more about this great theoretical physicist. Soon after I briefly read his Nobel winning paper " CONCEPTUAL FOUNDATIONS OF THE UNI- FIED THEORY OF WEAK AND ELECTROMAG- NETIC INTERACTIONS", Weinberg became on of my idols and inspirations in physics. "Professor Weinberg unlocked the mysteries of the universe for millions of people, enriching humanity's concept of nature and our relationship to the world," said Jay Hartzell, president of UT Austin, said in the statement. "From his students to science enthusiasts, from astrophysicists to public decision makers, he made an enormous difference in our understanding. In short, he changed the world." Weinberg was born in New York in 1933. His love of science began with a chemistry set, ac...

Monika - An exceptional artist - Over The Hill

I first found out about Monika, 2 years ago in a Youtube interview she gave. I didn't know her or her singing style, neither her vocal abilities. Even though she is Greek, her music doesn't allow her to enter the greek music industry in the way she should with the exceptional voice she has, and that is why she is not very popular. The first song of Monika I listened was "Over The Hill". I was stunned. Her vocals were very stable, emotional and for sure well trained. Since that first song, I have listened to every single and every album she has ever released. She is a really talented singer with very unique music.
