How the Universe Breaks the Law of Energy Conservation
SUMMARY
The law of energy conservation may be the most fundamental law in physics. It says that overall energy is always conserved. It can never be created nor destroyed - it can only change form. But this law...

How Can Mass and Energy Be the Same Thing?
SUMMARY
How is mass and energy the same thing? What is mass really? If you weigh 80kg and are in a car moving 100km/hr, your energy is equal to about 30000 joules. But did you know that the energy you have standing...

Could Time Be an Illusion?
SUMMARY
What if time is not real, but an illusion? Isaac Newton believed time was absolute and ticked at the same rate for everyone, everywhere. But Albert Einstein shattered that view with the theory of relativity....

Are Photons and Electrons Particles or Waves? Understanding Duality
Summary:
By the end of 1905, we had two big new equations in physics. Max Planck’s, Energy equals Planck’s constant times the frequency, and Einstein’s Energy equals the mass times the speed of light squared. A...

How the Delayed Choice Quantum Eraser Works
The original paper by the authors who first performed the Delayed Choice Quantum Eraser implied retro causality. But retro causality is true only if you assume a classical way of thinking. But that's not the way quantum mechanics works.

An Impossible Information Paradox in Black Holes Seems to Break Physics
SUMMARY
In 1976, Stephen Hawing proposed that Black Holes, do something impossible according to the laws of quantum mechanics. They destroy information. This is a paradox because information should be conserved in the...

Principal Quantum Number: The Key to Electron Shells
The principal quantum number (𝑛) is a fundamental parameter in quantum mechanics that determines the size and energy level of an electron's orbit within an atom. It is a positive integer that represents the main energy level or...

Negative Energy: Understanding Hydrogen's Electron
In a hydrogen atom, the electron is bound to the nucleus, so its energy is negative. This shows that it is in a bound state. When there is negative energy, it means that the electron is stable. It is inside the atom because its...
