Yes, you heard me right. There is a physics of utensils. So move over baseball, Star Trek, basketball. Your fork has a lot of physics in it as well.
Louis Bloomfield has written a fun but informative essay in Physics Today on this issue. It has everything you wanted to know about the physics surrounding your kitchen utensils, especially your fork. There is also a "review" of this essay in the Physics News Update.
BTW, in case you haven't noticed, Bloomfield also runs the Dear Lou section in Physics Central, where he answers questions about the daily mysteries of our world.
