    Recent discoveries in quantum physics and in cosmology shed new light on how mind interacts with matter. These discoveries compel acceptance of the idea that there is far more than just one universe and that we constantly interact with many of these “hidden” universes.(1)In 1954‚ a young Princeton University doctoral candidate named Hugh Everett III came up with a radical idea: That there exist parallel universes‚ exactly like our ­universe.

    to enter space. He discovered gravitational force and established the three Universal Laws of Motion. By tying these discoveries to the work Johannes Kepler and his Laws of Planetary motion‚ he established classic mechanics the beginning of modern Physics. This was huge in many ways as he proved definitively the heliocentric model first proposed by Copernicus. He also was the first to propose a set of laws that described the motion of all things in the universe. This served as the basis for our understanding

    something. I have also noticed that most of the engineering courses have slightly similar substance and structure in the beginning and only specialise later on‚ I find this to be quite an appealing factor. At college my favourite subjects include physics and mathematics as I take great pleasure in applying the concepts learned on real life situations. Mathematics is often described as the building blocks of life; everything around us consists of mathematics‚ without numbers it would be impossible

    could even have been my mindless interest thereafter to find out more and more about the 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
