Who Was Bernhard Riemann? Bernhard Riemann, in full Georg Friedrich Bernhard Riemann, (born September 17, 1826, Breselenz, Hanover [Germany]—died July 20, 1866, Selasca, Italy), German mathematician whose profound and novel approaches to the study of geometry laid the mathematical foundation for Albert Einstein’s theory of relativity. He also made important contribut…
Read moreIntroduction In physics, string theory is a theoretical framework in which the point-like particles of particle physics are replaced by one-dimensional objects called strings. String theory describes how these strings propagate through space and interact with each other. ... Thus string theory is a theory of quantum gravity. What Is String Theory? According to String…
Read moreWhat Is General Theory Of Relativity? After 10 years of racking his brains, Einstein finally resolved this and came up with his General Theory of Relativity, that also considers the effect of gravity on space-time. What this theory says is that gravity not only pulls at massive objects like the moon and small objects like a football, but affects space-time. But for g…
Read moreIntroduction The multiverse idea states that there are an arbitrarily large number of Universes like our own out... [+] It's possible, but not necessary, for other pockets within the Multiverse to exist where the laws of physics are different. Let's us understand in detail what actually is mutiverse and many world theory. The Many World Theory Schrodinger'…
Read moreIntroduction According to research being carried out at present, Quantum Entanglement is also assumed to play a key role in the photosynthesis process in plants. Although Quantum Entanglement lasts only a fraction of a second and involves no more than 100,000 molecules, nature has exploited the principle to drive efficiency using quantum techniques. What Is Quantum B…
Read moreIntroduction Heisenberg's Uncertainly Principle holds good for the quantum world irrespective of the challenge posed by the EPR Paradox. Thus, the Uncertainty Principle puts a severe limitation on our ability to measure accurately the true position and speed of a sub-atomic particle, simultaneously. This remains one of the fundamental truths of the microscopic wo…
Read moreIntroduction What is the effect of something moving faster than the speed of light? This is an interesting question we will answer in a while, but before that, let's look at one more aspect of our microscopic world. Werner Heisenberg (1901-1976), a German physicist who is regarded as the creator of Quantum Mechanics, contributed immensely to its development. The …
Read moreIntroduction Let's take a look at one of the Quantum Mechanics' most talked about and undisputed mother of all thought experiments, Schrodinger's Cat. Erwin Schrodinger (1887-1961), an Austrian physicist and theoretical biologist, is considered one of the founding fathers of Quantum Theory and the creator of the Schrodinger Equation, for which he won the …
Read moreIntroduction In order to truly grasp quantum queerness, we must quickly do a real experiment called Double-Slit Experiment (this is not a thought experiment but actually performed in the physics lab). It is a famous starting point to understanding the intriguing nature of the QM phenomenon. This experiment is based on the original concept devised by Thomas Young (177…
