The Fall 2006 Joint Meeting
of the
APS and AAPT New England Sections
Plenary Talk
"The Physics of Baseball"
Robert K. Adair
Yale University
Science illuminates most aspects of baseball. I will emphasize here, first, the
constraints on the game from limits on biological information transfer. Then I will
leave biology for fluid dynamics and discuss our incomplete knowledge of the flight of
thrown and batted baseballs through the air.
