Recap of Modern Physics
Since the post series on Particles and Interactions became a bit longer than I wanted, I thought I would break […]
Particles and Interactions
Here, we will try to look at the historical origin of Quantum Mechanics, which is usually presented succinctly using scary looking mathematical formulas. You can also buy this series of posts as a handsome eBook!
Particles and Interactions
Recently, I gave a talk on particles and interactions to my daughter’s classmates who were planning on a trip to
Reductionism
In all our scientific endeavors, we use similar high-level techniques to understand and study things. The most common technique is
Classical Physics
The main difficulty in describing particle physics to general public is the fact that it is built on modern physics.
Quantum Mechanics
Quantum Mechanics (QM) is the physics of small things. How do they behave and how do they interact with each
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 Field Theory
In this post on Quantum Mechanics (QM), we will go a bit beyond it and touch upon Quantum Field Theory
Quantum Mechanics – Interpretations
Whenever we talk about Quantum Mechanics, one of the first questions would be, “What about the cat?” This question, really,
Special Theory of Relativity
When we hear about Einstein and the special relativity (or the special theory of relativity, to use the real name),
Speed of Light
The speed of light being a constant sounds like a simple statement. But there is more to it, quite a
Interpretation of Special Relativity
When we looked at Quantum Mechanics, we talked about its various interpretations. The reason we have such interpretations, I said,
