Neutron stars are one of the coolest objects in the universe. Their density, gravitational pull, and such a huge mass compacted into a tiny size. Today, we are going to learn how to build one. But, before that, let us learn more about neutron stars. A neutron star is formed after a star having aContinueContinue reading “How To Build A Neutron Star?”

Is The Planck Scale Really The Smallest?
When we read articles or watch videos on many fancy science topics, we hear a lot of people saying that the planck length is the shortest length, planck time is the shortest time, planck energy is the highest energy, etc. But all these are NOT necessarily true. I will explain the reason here. Before weContinueContinue reading “Is The Planck Scale Really The Smallest?”
The Sun Requires Quantum Tunnelling To Work!!!
The core of the sun is extremely hot, about 15 million degree celsius. But it is not hot enough for nuclear fusion to take place. For nuclear fusion reaction to take place, you need a temperature of at least 100 million degrees. If the sun’s temperature is not hot enough, how does nuclear fusion takeContinueContinue reading “The Sun Requires Quantum Tunnelling To Work!!!”
What Is Quantum Mechanics Really All About?
When you heard the word ‘quantum mechanics’, a lot of things come to your mind like cat being alive and dead at the same time, nothing is precisely known, etc. While the above idea is somewhat linked to quantum mechanics, they are not what quantum mechanics is about. To understand what quantum mechanics is about,ContinueContinue reading “What Is Quantum Mechanics Really All About?”
Why It’s Hard To Unify General Relativity and Quantum Mechanics?
Unifying General Relativity and Quantum Mechanics has been the dream and goal of many of the greatest minds of the past century. But we are not able to unify it even now. So, why is it so difficult to unify these two theories? We have unified many forces and theories. First, we have unified electricityContinueContinue reading “Why It’s Hard To Unify General Relativity and Quantum Mechanics?”
How Time Causes Gravity?
Many explained that gravity is caused by the curvature of spacetime. The model is somewhat like this. Objects lie on top of spacetime and that causes curvature on spacetime like an object causing curvature when placed on top of a fabric. And when some objects come close near the curvature they orbit the objects orContinueContinue reading “How Time Causes Gravity?”
What Are The Strings in String Theory?
Mankind’s dream of unifying all the known forces can be accomplished by some theories. Among them, the most prominent one is the string theory. It is a very complex theory like the strings vibrating in 6d + 4d(spacetime) or 7d + 4d(spacetime) for M-Theory. But before all the complex calculations, we first need to understandContinueContinue reading “What Are The Strings in String Theory?”
Does The Singularity Exist?
Singularity is a point in spacetime where incredible amount of matter is compressed into a tiny space of zero size and infinite density. But, the question is, ” Does it exist?” Singularity is not a physical object, it is a mathematical entity. It arises when the denominator is zero. We all know we cannot divideContinueContinue reading “Does The Singularity Exist?”
What Are Antimatters?
Now we can practically convert energy into mass with full efficiency of E=mc2. The credit for this full efficiency goes to antimatter. When matter and antimatter come into contact, they annihilate each other and convert their mass into 100% energy. But what are antimatter? Antimatter are the opposites of matter. They are identical in allContinueContinue reading “What Are Antimatters?”
What Happened At The Big Bang?
Basically almost everyone including myself until recently think that the Big Bang was the most powerful explosion ever like a hyper giant firecracker and then matter spreading through space. But this idea has been mutated to make the general public understand. What the Big Bang Theory states is much, much weirder thank you think. So,ContinueContinue reading “What Happened At The Big Bang?”
