In our everyday World we’re used to Absolute deterministic predictions. Throw a ball in the air and it’ll fall along in the trajectory. Leave your umbrella parked on the street. And when you come back, it’s still there. Just one umbrella quantum physics is not like this because quantum mechanics doesn’t allow us to makeContinue reading “Quantum probability: underlying classical variables”

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”
Muons:Life example of the theory of relativity
Every second thousand of cosmic rays mostly hydrogen and helium nuclei strike every square meter of the Earth’s upper atmosphere. We don’t really know where they come from. But we do know that when cosmic rays crash into air molecules in the atmosphere. They create a shower of other fundamental particles pions crayons positrons, electronsContinue reading “Muons:Life example of the theory of relativity”
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”
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”
