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”

Quantum tunneling
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”
Brownian motion
One thing that’s astounding about Einstein’s Publications in 1905 is that they spanned a such a large range of physics after Illuminating the quantum nature of Light by explaining the photoelectric effect in March April saw Einstein turn to something apparently more mundane particles suspended in fluids in particular. If you look at tiny particlesContinue reading “Brownian motion”
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”
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”
