HyperPhysics is a fantastic website. Used it so often as an undergrad EEE student.

What's the background here? Seems like a great domain name without a lot of content...

Definitely what I want to know, and why I upvoted it. I have to imagine commercial interests would pay a great deal of money for this domain, so it's intriguing it's held out, presumably for a long time, as a location of a simple HTML page with some quotes on it.

It might depend on your background how much you can enjoy that. I am physicist, did not yet know this quote of Maxwell and think that it is pure gold. When I read it, I immediately thought:

"Dear James Maxwell, you nailed it."

For some reason I arbitrarily typed physics.com and was pleasantly surprised as well.

Without ad-blocker there is an amazon ad-widget for selling physics-related books.

Well, it looks more like 41 is the answer to life, the universe, and everything than 42.

Edit: Well, it appears I was mistaken. I forgot to count 10^0 cm. The answer is 42. :-)

The HHGTTG cannot be wrong. You forgot to count 0. It is 42.

Whoever owns this domain is sitting on a lot of money. They should sell it to someone who has better use than quotes.
Re:Physics by alexpetralia on Monday May 24, 2021 @04:02PM (#27269026)
Then, instead of quotes, ads!
Re:Physics by gowld on Monday May 24, 2021 @05:21PM (#27269878)
It has Amazon ads (for physics books) at the bottom.
