Last updated June 25, 2025 The classic double‑slit experiment has mesmerized scientists and the public alike for more than two centuries. Initially used to demonstrate the wave nature of light, it later became a cornerstone of quantum mechanics when it revealed the bizarre phenomenon of wave-particle duality. When individual photons or electrons are fired through two slits, they appear to interfere with themselves suggesting that a single quantum particle can behave like a wave, occupying multiple paths simultan…
The Growing Threat of Space Debris: Humanity’s Orbital Dilemma As humanity ventures further into space, a silent crisis is unfolding above our heads the build-up of space debris orbiting Earth . This ever-expanding cloud of defunct satellites, rocket fragments, and other human-made objects poses a serious threat to current and future space missions. What once seemed like a minor issue has now become a major obstacle to space sustainability. The risk of collision is no longer hypothetical it’s happening. If left unchecked, this debris could…
Introduction: Is Gravity Really What We Think It Is? For centuries, gravity has been one of the most mysterious yet familiar forces in nature. We drop an apple and watch it fall; we orbit the Sun thanks to gravity's pull. But is gravity truly a fundamental force of nature? Or could it be something more surprising—like a consequence of thermodynamics and entropy? In this post, we’ll explore the remarkable journey of gravitational theory—from Newton’s elegant equations to Einstein’s revolutionary spacetime—and dive into the boldest modern…
Quantum computing, a realm of computing that harnesses the principles of quantum mechanics, holds the promise of revolutionizing the way we process information. Unlike classical computers that utilize bits as the smallest unit of data, quantum computers employ quantum bits or qubits. These qubits can exist in multiple states simultaneously, a phenomenon known as superposition. One of the most intriguing aspects of quantum computing is quantum entanglement, where qubits become correlated in such a way that the state of one qubit instantly inf…
Introduction: Gravity, the fundamental force that governs the interactions between objects in the universe, is a captivating and perplexing phenomenon. From the graceful descent of a falling apple to the majestic orbits of celestial bodies, gravity influences the behavior of matter and shapes the fabric of space-time. In this article, we will embark on an exploration of gravity—unveiling its nature, understanding its mechanisms, and delving into the heavy mathematics that underlie its workings. Understanding Gravity: Gravity is a captivating…
Introduction: Music is a form of universal communication that appeals to our emotions directly, bridging cultural divides and uniting people from all walks of life. Its ability to enthral and inspire us is clear. But have you ever thought about the mathematical principles that underlie the harmonies and aural appeal of music? The relationship between numbers and notes is astounding, and it is revealed through the numerous connections between the mathematical and musical worlds. We shall travel through the intriguing world of music mathemati…
James Clerk Maxwell, a brilliant Scottish physicist, developed Maxwell's equations in the 19th century. His work has endured through the ages and changed the world as we know it. These basic electromagnetism equations revolutionised our knowledge of the underlying forces that control the universe and opened the door for enormous strides in both science and industry. Maxwell's equations revealed the beautiful interconnection of these events by uniting the disparate fields of electricity and magnetism, revealing the mysteries of electrom…
