The international astronomical Union defines Brown dwarfs as balls of gas in space that are too small to be bona fide hydrogen burning stars, but large enough to burn deuterium which anything bigger than about 13 times. The mass of Jupiter can do because of this brown dwarfs are often called failed stars or superContinue reading “Brown Dwarf: Star aspirant”

Alien:Other-worldly, a game of Probability and Statistics
When we think of looking for extraterrestrial life, we tend to focus on earth like planets that is planets with conditions that are similar to our own life exists on Earth the logic goes so Earth-like conditions are probably a good bet to find more life and yet there are hundreds of billions of galaxiesContinue reading “Alien:Other-worldly, a game of Probability and Statistics”
Angular Momentum
Physics at its most basic is just a description of the motion of the stuff in our universe this planet goes this way that rocket goes that way except that some in fact many objects move without moving or more precisely. They move without going anywhere. I’m talking objects that spin revolve rotate pirouette orbitContinue reading “Angular Momentum”
Twin Paradox
Did you know that you could be older than your twin like years older according to Einstein’s theory of special relativity? It’s possible because time can take faster or slower depending on how you’re moving. What yeah, we’ll get back to that. But first we’re going to learn all of special relativity. Don’t worry. ThereContinue reading “Twin Paradox”
Antimatter
Pretty much everything in the universe is made out of matter the Earth, you and me stars Interstellar dust all matter by which we mean that these things are made out of electrons and quarks and very occasionally other rarer matter particles, like muons towns and neutrinos. All of these particles are at their fundamentalContinue reading “Antimatter”
The Origin of Quantum Mechanics
Where did Quantum Theory come from it started not as a crazy idea, but with a light bulb in the early 1890’s the German Bureau of Standards asked Max Planck how to make light bulbs more efficient so that they would give out the maximum light for the least electrical power. The first task PlankContinue reading “The Origin of Quantum Mechanics”
Soft Hair theory
Black holes. They’re weird.And a recent paper about them seems to me to be the strangest, one yet black holes might be covered in hair. So I hope you’re ready for me to get excited about space stuff. Let’s get started. So iconic theoretical physicist. Stephen Hawking may have passed away in 2018, but papers.Continue reading “Soft Hair theory”
