Quantum mechanics are the two main fields of mechanics in physics. Classical mechanics came a few hundred years before Quantum mechanics. Subsequently it is less accurate and less reliable then the more recent mechanic field of Quantum mechanics. Despite being outdated‚ Classical mechanics can still be used for many everyday problems with bigger and slower moving objects. However‚ when dealing with extremely fast moving or small subatomic particles a Classical approach will not produce sufficiently

travellers in the heavens‚ but today‚ those memories are the seeds of my passion for astroparticle physics. Many people – even science graduates – hear the name and think it’s a “big deal”. It is not. Astroparticle physics is the study of the stuff that stars are made of‚ and by extension‚ as Carl Sagan said‚ the stuff that we are made of. It is the search for and the understanding of the smallest particles that make up this universe one elegant phenomenon at a time. And just as my curiosity toward

In my family there is a tradition of interest in science: my grandmother was college professor in chemistry and physics‚ and both my parents were trained as mechanical engineers in college. When I was a kid‚ my mom showed me a box full of extremely tiny gears — those that table clocks are made out of — and told me what each part was for. And I remember thinking "this is the coolest tiling I’ve ever seen!’ I have been interested in mechanical structures and the inner working of human-made and natural

In this quote‚ H.G. Wells asked one of the most commonly asked questions in time travel‚ why can people not move about in time as they wish? Black Holes present the

Outlining General Relativity and Space Time Curvature In the real world‚ smooth‚ uniform motion is more an exception than a rule. Technically‚ any change in speed or direction is called acceleration (or deceleration)‚ which can thus mean slowing down as well as speeding up‚ or simply a redirection. Ordinarily‚ an observer in an accelerating frame of reference can perceive its motion. Passengers in a car‚ for example‚ fell themselves pressed backward if the car starts suddenly from a dead stop

Bohr and Albert Einstein are names anyone who has taken a basic physics course is familiar with. Posters of Albert Einstein can be easily encountered hanging on walls‚ with quotes that often do not contemplate any scientific content. These scientists are two of the most influential personalities of modern physics‚ although little is talked about the respectful rivalry that took place between the two over nearly 30 years regarding physics’ most revolutionary branch of quantum mechanics. In his essay

Albert Einstein was a Jewish‚ German physicist and a humanitarian. He was born in Ulm‚ Germany on March 14‚ 1879. Before permanently moving to the U.S‚ he lived in Berlin. He came to the U.S because Germany was no longer safe for Jewish Germans. His arrival to America was received with mix feelings; some welcomed him because of his scientific work and humanitarian and political views while others rejected him for that same reason. The main reason why Einstein permanently moves to the U.S is because
