What made Albert Einstein a Genius?

Image
In short,  Albert Einstein's brain was different from ours ! Without the contributions of Albert Einstein, our world would be a totally different place. Some of his biggest scientific contributions include, The Brownian motion  which helped us understand the liquids better, The photoelectric effect  which gave us the solar panels, The world's most famous equation  E=mc^2 on which the nuclear bombs are based,& the  Theory of relativity , which helped us understand the deepest mysteries of the Universe. So, what made him so smart to do those wonder & change the world forever?  Here's what made Albert Einstein a Genius? When scientists examined  Einstein's brain deeply , they find out that Einstein's exterior brain was missing a particular wrinkle called a  parietal operculum . So, the size of his parietal lobe was increased by 20%. The parietal lobe is the are of the brain responsible for one's mathematical skills & me...

Theory of Relativity : Explanation

Image
The theory of relativity usually encompasses two interrelated theories by Albert Einstein: special relativity and general relativity.!Special relativity applies to elementary particles and their interactions, describing all their physical phenomena except gravity. General relativity explains the law of gravitation and its relation to other forces of nature. It applies to the cosmological and astrophysical realm, including astronomy. The theory transformed theoretical physics and astronomy during the 20th century, superseding a 200-year-old theory of mechanics created primarily by Isaac Newton. It introduced concepts including spacetime as a unified entity of space and time, relativity of simultaneity, kinematic and gravitational time dilation, and length contraction. In the field of physics, relativity improved the science of elementary particles and their fundamental interactions, along with ushering in the nuclear age. With relativity, cosmology and astrophysics predicted...

What If a needle or a grain of sand hits the earth at the speed of light?

Image
We are used to anticipating danger from outer space . A huge almost unknown space hostile to humans and no wonder colossal explosions take place asteroids and comets travel at tremendous speed . There are black holes and all this can potentially cause the death of the earth but what about something small for example an ordinary sewing needle what if one finds itself in space accelerates to the speed of light and then crashes into our planet .   Any object consisting of matter can't move at the speed of light or faster so scientists from NASA are unlikely to ever consider such a disaster well I will do it for them today you'll know how dangerous such small things can be if they are properly accelerated and at the same time, you'll learn about another strange scenario of the end of the world . Our planet is constantly bombarded by various cosmic bodies we don't even notice most of them they just burn up in the atmosphere .     Sometimes celestial b...

How do Ships float in water ?

Image
According to the  Archimedes principle , " an object in a fluid experiences an upward force equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by it. " The same principle goes for the floating ships. The reason ships float is that they displace a lot of water, if a ship could not push enough water out of the way, it would probably sink. The displaced water wants to return in its original form, where the ship is now, & keeps pushing it upwards. As a result, we get a smoothly floating ship. The force which pushes the ship up is called the buoyancy force. Designers keep it in mind that the ship will displace the total amount of water equal to its weight, way before the water gets in.

Would we ever be able to build a Time Machine?

Image
Well, Time Travel is just a  technical problem  now There are several ways we can travel in time (future), two of them are, 1. Orbiting a Black Hole -  Time slows down as we reach an object with high gravitational potential. So, we could orbit closer to a Black Hole, then for us time will run slower compared to the people on Earth. 2. High Velocity -  As per relativity, the faster we move slower the time gets. So, if we could build a spaceship that can reach speed closer to light, then we would be able to travel in time. As I said, right now time travel is a technical problem & our today's technology isn't advanced enough to build such spacecraft. However, some people are trying make this happen, for example,  Harold White  at NASA is trying to build an  Alcubierre Warp Drive .

Some Facts About The Bermuda Triangle

Image
Bermuda Triangle also is known as  * Devil's Triangle * is one of the biggest mystery of science. Thousands of boats, ships & airplanes have been lost in this area & never found again. Here are some amazing facts about the  Bermuda Triangle, The Bermuda Triangle is not small. In fact, it is quite large and covers an area of 440,000 miles of the sea & its effect can be experienced outside of the triangle too. Whenever any plane or ship disappears in the Triangle, its debris cannot be found. The reason behind this is that Gulf Stream runs near the triangle, which quickly gets rid of the debris. At least 1000 lives are lost within the last 100 years. On average, 4 aircraft and 20 yachts go missing every year. People have experienced electronic fog in the Bermuda triangle, which can be a Time Travel Tunnel too. Pilot Bruce Gernon claims he lost 28 minutes after flying through a time-warping cloud tunnel. The plane went missing from radars, only to re-emerge in ...
