Time Dilation Explained
What Is Time Dilation? In 1916, Albert Einstein one of the greatest scientist of all time came up with his theory of special relativity which changed the perspective of physics. His theory of spacial relativity stated that light is fastest object in the universe and nothing can travel faster than light. Which leads to creation of many interesting phenomenon, one of t…

3 Ways To Travel Faster Than Light!
What Happens When We Try To Travel At The Speed Of Light? The speed of light in a vacuum is an absolute cosmic speed limit. Nothing can go faster than 3.0x 108 meters per second (that's 300,000,000 m/s or 1,080,000,000 km/h!). According to the laws of physics, as we approach light speed, we have to provide more and more energy to make an object move. In order to …

How Did Albert Einstein Proved His General Theory Of Relativity?
What 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…

The Causality Effect Explained
Introduction 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 …

Schrodinger's Cat Experiment Explained
Introduction 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 …

Double Slit Experiment Explained!
Introduction 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…

Can A Particle Be At Two Different Places At Same Time?
Introduction Before we move on, let us make this quantum concept clearer. The wave function is a true representation of the way we all exist, although it is difficult to imagine. It is really a mathematical way of representing the waviness of matter or a particle. The wave function of an electron or a car may be spread all over the universe but each of them has a ver…

Can We Travel Faster Than Light?
Can We Travel Faster Than Light? Introduction The speed of light is 299,792,458 m/s. The speed of light is kind of very close to the speed limit of the universe, which is exactly 300,000 km/s which is 300,000,000 m/s. So, traveling faster than light requires us special equipments and spacecraft to make it possible and also some of the weirdest ways of traveling in sp…

Is Time Travel Possible?
SPACE TECHS Is Time Travel Possible? Introduction We have seen several sci-fi movies that shows time travel is really possible. We can travel in time just by a machine, which they call a time machine, but the reality is far different from sci-fi concepts used in movies. Let's explore some of the ways by which we can travel in future and past. What Is Time? First,…
