The Bekenstein–Hawking equation is one of the most beautiful equations in physics, which connects general relativity, quantum mechanics, and thermodynamics by relating a black hole’s entropy to the surface area of its event horizon, revealing that black holes obey the laws of

Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle (1927) The position (x) and the velocity (p) of an object cannot both be measured exactly at the same time. When we know the position of an object with high certainty (Δx is small) then we have a large uncertainty on its momentum (Δp large).

Gabriel's Horn is a shape formed by rotating the curve y = 1/x from x ≥ 1 around the x-axis. It has two surprising mathematical properties: 1. Finite volume = π — you could fill it with a finite amount of paint. 2. Infinite surface area — you would need infinite paint to
