“He worked seven days a week, 18 hours a day, and he pushed himself.” — Sir Isaac Newton is considered not only the Father of Modern Physics but also one of the greatest polymaths in the history of humankind. Hardly anyone, I believe, has made as many contributions to the development of science, physics in particular, and mathematics, as much as Newton has. The eccentric…

Implications of the existence of a ‘conscious’ quantum particle — I know this story is going to be weird in many ways but this is something worth thinking about. Theoretical physicist Richard Feynman once stated, “Imagine how much harder physics would be if electrons had feelings.” I was recently having a conversation with one of my friends in this regard…

The priority dispute of one of the foundations of physics and mathematics — Isaac Newton is the most monumental scientist of all time. His works on motion, gravitation, and optics are what laid the foundations of classical mechanics. The modern quantum theory and modern physics, in general, are all based on Newton’s preliminary works. Sir Isaac Newton invented calculus for there was no…

“The moment I start to think about Physics, nothing else occupies my mind.” — Albert Einstein is considered one of the greatest physicists of all time, arguably also the most popular. Everyone in the scientific community, at least, knows that Einstein is best known for his theories of relativity, the idea of gravitation, time, and space that transformed our understanding of the universe. Einstein…

Schrödinger’s cat and the Many- World interpretation of Quantum Mechanics — Quantum mechanics is weird. There have been several interpretations of this weird and somehow absurd theory of physics. In this story, I shall share two of the most widely talked about interpretations of quantum mechanics and why some of the most significant theories in…

“Solutions are right one way and wrong on the other.” — This story is basically a conversation that I had the other day with a fellow physics enthusiast who also believed in the teachings of Hinduism. The prime statement that ignited the conversation between the two of us was this: Do you think religion and science are/can be compatible? In fact…

The videos are free and easily accessible to any audience — We’ve got one of the most underrated resources that we do not utilize much for good- the internet. It has stacks of amazing articles, journals, videos, pages, blogs, and everything that you might need to get your grasp on various disciplines of academics. Here we talk about the sciences and…

“Beauty is the first test: there is no permanent place in the world for ugly mathematics” — Mathematics is the language of nature. Every physical phenomenon of the universe can be explained by using mathematics. The notes of music, the economic growth or depreciation of a nation, the beautiful geometry of tiles, the beauty of flowers, the symmetry of snowflakes, the patterns of colors, everything is explainable…

What is a QC and why is it so tough to build one? — Computers have become an integral part of our life. Be it in research fields, technological advancements, or space explorations, nothing is possible in today’s world without computers. In the past few decades, we have reduced the size of computers and increased their computation capacity to a great extent. For instance…
