You may have heard about quantum computers and their revolutionary ability to solve computationally complex problems in an efficient manner. However, you may still not have a grasp about the fundamental concepts that make it all work together. In thi...

Sigh... it has been a while since I've had to fiddle around with Feynman diagrams for visualising nuclear interactions in Physics. Well, I guess that is no surprise, as it isn't really something that pops up very often when you are playing Vio...

The world of physics is fascinating. We can explain many things with physics, both things from the everyday life and things not many even knew was possible. To start off with the double slit experiment you will need a light source and two slits very...

There are many apparently unresolved problems in "modern" physics, though I can't claim to know everything others are working on so my "timeline" of where-things-are-at in physics could be quite different (and even in more than one dimension) from ot...

Science is a method of embracing new ideas and performing experiments to refine our understanding of how the universe works. In this environment, you would expect scientists to pay very close attention to outliers - experiments that have counterintui...

Everything in the universe is defined by the small fundamental stuff that composes it, so scientists are very interested in how small stuff works. Unfortunately, things get really weird at the subatomic scale. I covered this in greater detail in my l...

There's a problem with quantum mechanics. A big one. It's so big that most physicists roll their eyes, wave their hand, and ignore it. And it's such a simple problem even you can understand it. You probably know what an electron is. At least, what yo...

You may have heard that it's impossible to travel faster than the speed of light. But actually, this is a totally inaccurate representation of Einstein's Theory of Relativity. It all depends on your perspective. Let me explain. Let's say you're the p...
