Math for Life
At the end of a long teaching term, I found myself reflecting on the beauty of mathematics — not just as a tool for solving problems, but as the very framework of knowledge and reality itself. Is it too much for my young padawans?
Science
My thoughts on non-physics sciences — like evolutionary biology, cognitive neuroscience etc.
Unreal Reality at Faster-Than-Light Speeds
Here is a question we are not allowed to ask: If something were to travel faster than the speed of light, what would it look like to us?
Interpretation of Special Relativity
When we looked at Quantum Mechanics, we talked about its various interpretations. The reason we have such interpretations, I said,
Speed of Light
The speed of light being a constant sounds like a simple statement. But there is more to it, quite a
Special Theory of Relativity
When we hear about Einstein and the special relativity (or the special theory of relativity, to use the real name),
Quantum Mechanics – Interpretations
Whenever we talk about Quantum Mechanics, one of the first questions would be, “What about the cat?” This question, really,
Quantum Field Theory
In this post on Quantum Mechanics (QM), we will go a bit beyond it and touch upon Quantum Field Theory
Historical Origin of Quantum Mechanics
In this section, we will try to look at the historical origin of Quantum Mechanics, which is usually presented succinctly
Quantum Mechanics
Quantum Mechanics (QM) is the physics of small things. How do they behave and how do they interact with each
Classical Physics
The main difficulty in describing particle physics to general public is the fact that it is built on modern physics.
Reductionism
In all our scientific endeavors, we use similar high-level techniques to understand and study things. The most common technique is
Particles and Interactions
Recently, I gave a talk on particles and interactions to my daughter’s classmates who were planning on a trip to
