Physics can be found in every single activity on the face of the earth. Our objective with this site is to prove to you how much the basic principles of Physics affect a simple game of billiards, also known as pool. Pool is a game that has been played for centuries. It is played on a table, with 6 pockets, a set of balls and a cue stick. There are various different games that one can play, some of which are 8 ball, 9 ball or Cut Throat. These games have various different rules, but the main object of any game of billiards is to get your balls into the pockets before the other player. We will quickly define the rules of these games, but our main goal of this web-site is to incorporate Physics into the game, not to turn you into a straight up Pool Shark. Billiards and Physics go together like lamb and tuna fish, or peas and carrots if you are more comfortable with that analogy. Every decision that a player makes has been pre-calculated in his or her brain. Some of the principles that are involved are in pool are Newton's Laws, Conservation of Momentum, Vectors, Inertia, and Friction. One wrong move and these principles will keep you from winning the game.
