GRAVITATIONAL WAVES

By

merging neutron star's are major sources of gravitational waves As the name implies, Gravity is the major cause of this phenomenon. So before we get down to this, we must acquire some basic facts about Gravity.  First of all, you need to understand that gravity is not just a kind of force, but a curvature in Space time (Fusion of three dimensional space and the one dimension of time into a four dimensional manifold). Our entire universe is spread out by Space time like a rubber sheet. So all of the Celestial objects like Planets, Stars, Galaxies and black holes etc are kind of floating on this Space time fibre. These massive objects cause  Space time curvature. Thus Gravitational waves are the disturbances in the curvature of Space time generated by accelerated massive objects, that propagate as waves outward from their source at the speed of light.  Gravitational wave spectrum: Wikipedia Early in 1915 it was predicted by Einstein's General Theory of Relativity. The first...

SCHRODINGER'S CAT

  Nothing explains the state of " Quantum Superposition " as brilliantly as the Erwin Schrodinger's famous thought experiment :  " The Schrodinger's Cat " .  Although at times regarded as a Paradox, this thought experiment was devised to point out the errors in the Copenhagen Interpretation   of Quantum Mechanics , which suggested that " a particle exists at all states at once until observed ".    In this hypothetical scenario a cat is kept in a sealed chamber along with a Geiger counter ( an instrument for detecting and measuring ionising radiation) a radioactive sample and a bottle of poison. If the Geiger counter detects ionising radiation due to decay of radioactive sample, then the bottle of poison will break and the cat will die. Now Radioactivity is a " Spontaneous"  phenomenon meaning there is only a probability for the sample to undergo decay. Since the chamber is sealed we can't know for sure whether the cat is alive or de...

PHOTONICS - A HYPE OR PROMISE?

Have you ever thought of light bulbs transmitting internet? Sounds a bit crazy right? Well that is the promise of " Photonics"  It is being hailed as the technology of the century and the world has already began witnessing some promising developments in this field. It is an area of study which deals with the use of light(a radiant energy) whose most fundamental building blocks are photons. It is regarded as the science and technology of generating,controlling and detecting photons, which are the fundamental particles of light.  The word "Photonics" appeared around 1960 when Laser was invented by Theodore Maiman. Popular opinion of scientists is that the 21st century technological developments would be dependant on "Photonics" just as the 20th century developments depended on Electronics . The scope and applications of Photonics seem endless. From defence and security to entertainment, manufacturing industry to health,telecommunications to consumer electron...
