A long-time effort to detect gravitational radiation has finally led to a triumphant conclusion - for the first time after about a century of extensive effort, scientists have finally succeeded to verify and detect it. The discovery of gravitational waves was carried out with the participation of over 1000 physicists…
With so many Sci-Fi featuring antimatter, the term is no longer an incog, but only a few people know that the complex material actually does exist. Moreover, few laboratories have even produced almost 17 nanograms of antimatter synthetically on earth. Well, in response to the question asked in the title,…
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…
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…
One of the most fantastic predictions of Einstein’s general theory of relativity has been the existence of gravitational radiation. Should gravitational waves be real, it means that the empty space as a medium for propagation of gravitational waves can itself oscillate and move. Since its prediction in 1917, a lot…
Since Einstein’s introduction of his theory of relativity, this theory has been regarded as one of the most famous scientific theories of mankind. This theory that was formulated and presented to the scientific community as two complementary theories, i.e., special theory of relativity in 1905 and the general theory of…
It is a well-known fact that if you fall into a black hole, there is no possibility of escaping from it. Such a fall will immediately lead to the disintegration of your body due to strong tension forces. But there are now some ideas about the possibility of living in a…
In the world that we live in, it is a well-known fact that causality forms sequences of events in nature. Indeed, for every effect, there is a cause, and without a cause, there is no effect. In our daily experience, related events are formed in a causal sequence. At the…
He may have been a genius, but have his theories met their expiration date? Some scientists believe this to be true, according to recent facts. Experiments implementing homodyne measurements shed light on the “unbelief” of what Albert Einstein held as truth. Albert Einstein’s “spooky action at a distance” was examined…
If it exists then it can certainly be measured and explained. Physics finds facts, or as near to facts as possible. One of the most interesting facts, however, is that physics is imperfect, as there are several unsolved problems that keep us stumped – 10 to be exact. Not everything…
