Suppose you drop a ball down the side of the valley, Classical wisdom tells us that when the ball rolls up the hill on the other side. It can’t go any higher than the height from which you dropped it that’s conservation of energy. Even if there’s a nice big long slope to roll downContinue reading “Quantum tunneling”

Quarks
When you’re a kid, you’re told that all the stuff around you is made of atoms and that atoms are made of protons and neutrons and electrons. And if you’re lucky you’re told what protons and neutrons are made of they’re made of three quarks eat, but if they’re both made of quarks, how areContinue reading “Quarks”
Gravitational Efficiency: The outrageous efficiency of Blackhole
E=MC², the most famous equation in the world describes the fact that anything with mass possesses a huge amount of energy in principle like a 5-kilogram cat has enough energy in its mass to power the entire country of Norway for a year. If only the energy could somehow be fully extracted from the cat,Continue reading “Gravitational Efficiency: The outrageous efficiency of Blackhole”
