MULTIVERSE MIGHT EXIST

Newton's laws are awesome! Once you know position and velocity of a particle , you can figure out the entire future of the particle using just one equation - > F=mass × acceleration In quantum mechanics we say that we have a wavefunction carries all the properties of a particle and using the Schrodinger Equation , we can determine it's future. But Quantum mechanics does not stop here. As I discussed in my previous blog on introduction...

AN INTRODUCTION TO QUANTUM MECHANICS (BELIEVE ME IT'S NOT THAT STRANGE)

Who says Physicists can't be coolHere's one of the greatest minds of alltime-Richard Feynman If you think you understand Quantum Mechanics , you don't understand Quantum Mechanics - Richard Feynman  Where does the word 'Quantum Mechanics' come from? It's a made up of two words - Qunata- Latin word for amount ; smallest packet of any physical quantity - like quanta of energy Mechanics- Study of motion So basically quantum mechanics is the...

BREAKFAST AND PHYSICS- CHEERIOS EFFECT

You cannot escape Physics if you are genuinely curious well not even on the breakfast table How ? Let me tell you Have you ever noticed how Cheerios in your meal bowl tend to form clusters in the center or the edges.It is as if they were some sort of suspicious force making them behave this way. No one knew the secret until 2005 when a pair of "mathematicians" solved the mystery Here's the simple Physics behind it - Cheerios...

WHAT THE HECK IS PARTICLE PHYSICS?

 Wanna learn about particle physics ?  You need to just break the things. You can start by manually breaking the things, but eventually you will need accelerators ( for collision of particles at high speed so that you can find out what's inside or what E=mc^2 leads to) Boom!! It's beautiful that how our thinking about what are made up of has evolved over years From thinking about fire , earth , air , water and soil now...

GRAVITATIONAL LENSING

Gravitational lensing- sounds very sci-fi eh! Believe me it's not a thing that you cannot get your head around because you observe it everyday Let's figure out what it is! So when it comes to Universe and the way we can know about it , telescopes are the first thing that come in our minds. But you know what! Nature has got its own ways to reveal us the secrets and one of them is Gravitational Lensing What had Einstein said- 1.Light travels...
