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”
Perspective: A truth game of shifted view frame
When Galileo pointed his telescope at Jupiter in 1610, he was the first person to see the giant orbs attached to it by Springs. In his actual drawings compared night after night show these bright spots moving back and forth past Jupiter exactly the same as if they were balls hanging off of Springs. IContinue reading “Perspective: A truth game of shifted view frame”
Brown Dwarf: Star aspirant
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”
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”
