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 …

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…
Read moreWhat Is SpaceTime? In physics, spacetime is any mathematical model which fuses the three dimensions of space and the one dimension of time into a single four-dimensional manifold. The fabric of space-time is a conceptual model combining the three dimensions of space with the fourth dimension of time. Spacetime diagrams can be used to visualize relativistic effects, 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…
Read moreSPACE 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,…
