The building blocks of everything around us are shrinking and we are living in the new quantum reality. At least, that is what new scientific discoveries are suggesting. The proton, which is a positively charged particle in the nucleus of an atom, is now 4% smaller than before. It may…
According to certain theories in physics, the time is not real and is nothing but a product of our consciousness. Let's explore these theories and the concept of the illusion of time. Our daily experience, as well as our predecessors’, regards time as a flowing entity that defines what we…
Since a century ago, new physics theories and ideas have led to many revolutionary results. Quantum mechanics and relativity theory and their profound concepts have not only changed our basic understanding of physics from the domain of elementary particles to that of the whole universe. Their weird interpretation of space, time,…
The issue of travel to the past has been a topic of great interest for the scientific community as well as the fans of science fiction, yet its feasibility has equally been a topic of intensively heated debates. Before the introduction of relativity theory (RT) and quantum mechanics (QM), our…
Another year on earth has passed, and now we can look back at what we’ve accomplished. Science has progressed in leaps and bounds, bringing us ground-breaking finds, revealing anticipated answers. It’s safe to say, there are more than a few examples of these accomplishments. Let’s take a look at 10…
What if there are more than three dimensions in our universe? String theory suggests there are 11 of them. Let's explore this intriguing theory and its possible applications. Since ancient days, humans have been familiar with the sense of 3-dimensionality of space. This idea was better understood after the theory…
The idea of the existence of infinite worlds has been fascinating scientific minds for centuries. Let's explore some of the most intriguing theories and studies that suggest our universe is not the only one. According to the conventional cosmic theory, our universe was created about 13.7 billion years ago in…
Our mind is the ultimate source of our understanding of the physical world. Without the thinking and analysis capabilities embedded in our brain, no measurement or experiment can be interpreted and lead to any meaningful result. The topic of the extent of the influence of human consciousness on natural processes…
