Yup, it’s time for another article. Just to let the internet know that I still exist. By the looks of the title, you may think that this article might just be about those cool stuff known as holograms. Well, I’m pretty sure that most of you don’t know about holograms but if you have seen some cool sci-fi movies or read some books, you probably have a vague idea about what a hologram is. They are those weird projector-like gadgets where we see the image of someone. In many films, we also see them communicating via holograms. Well, these may be science-’fiction’. But the principle of holography ..read more

INTRODUCTION All around us, we see different laws and different forces of nature at work. Riding a bicycle, cooking your favorite dish, boiling water to the emission of electrons or radiation of a black hole, everything is physics. While we often discuss how magnificent Einstein’s relativity theory is, or how elegantly we can get precise results from quantum mechanics, most of the time we tend to forget that everything around us is actually physics. These extremely important theories were developed when scientists were inspired by simple natural phenomena or were deeply conflicted when they co ..read more

It’s time for a small talk. Another personal post by me. I wanted to talk directly to the few who still support my blog. Ever since the day I started this, I had a goal to reach the masses and make the common people appreciate science. To make a statement that people who want to pursue research are not aliens. I love science and I will follow this religion of science till the very end. However, I am really saddened by the gradual worsening of the condition of my views along with the increase in quality of my blog. I don’t even get any comments in any articles. The situation the world was facin ..read more

“There is nothing new to be discovered in physics now. All that remains is more and more precise measurement.” – Lord Kelvin Those were the good old times. Newton single-handedly took care of mechanics and discovered gravity. After that, James Clerk Maxwell gave a thorough description of the second fundamental force called, ‘Electromagnetism’. Everything we see in this world could be described through the laws of physics, or could they?  Well, it seems like the quote from the famous physicist, Lord Kelvin(you must have heard about him in thermometry) would be overturned on its head in th ..read more

People have been searching for the meaning of life for ages. Since time immemorial, when people spent their lives hunting wild animals, there were still some people who drew pictures in caves. People are still searching for the meaning of life like themselves, some are pursuing God and some are practicing science. Today we will be discovering something that is extremely simple and beautiful and lies in front of our own eyes. The name of this wonderful thing is symmetry. To put it bluntly, a common example is to cut a piece of paper in half. Now no difference can be understood between the two ..read more

The train was moving with a constant velocity towards the next station. Just like other talks, there was some gap but this seemed like a different one. As if, it was a break between two seasons in a web series. Although we have only been on the train, for the time being, it looked as if in a world far away a year has passed. So much has happened in that world, maybe that world had some disease that engulfed every nation. I thought it was a cool story, but I wish it never happens to anyone as the human mind sometimes cannot determine the gravity of the situation. So many lives would be affected ..read more

Do you know that we have an elementary field that interacts with other particles to generate mass? Do you know that these particles are the reason why you and I exist? Do you know that the whole Universe is governed by the rules imposed by the properties of these elementary particles? Do you know that quantum fluctuations of this particular elementary particle can practically wipe out the Universe and all the remains of its existence? If you don’t know the answers, then you can always find them out. Some people didn’t know something and they created laws to define those things by investigating ..read more

– Sharika Dhakappa EDITOR’S NOTE Hello, my fellow physicists! It’s time for another story to tell. However, this story is not written by me. As promised, Captain Quanta has returned to all of you with the winning article of Eureka! The reason why I chose this article is because it somehow tells our story. The story of our existence, the story of our past, the story of our birth in a subtle way. And what better day would have been to release the story on Pi Day! Also, this is the birth day of one of the greatest physicists of all time, Albert Einstein and the death day of one of the greats, Ste ..read more

At last, the day which we have been waiting for is here! Before coming to the results. Let me say something. Thank you to all of you who have made this thing successful. Without you fellow physicists, this would not have been successful. So I really thank everyone involved in any way with the blog from the bottom of my brain(Legends will understand, and if you still can’t do it. You can always become a legend by trying). Now, let’s get going! We are all searching for something in this big world. This is what sets us apart from other creatures on the earth. The fact that we are curious about th ..read more
