Einstein Field equations explained intuitively and visually: Isaac Newton changed our paradigm by connecting earthly gravity, with the movement of heavenly bodies. He formulated an equation that is...

The gauge bosons of the standard model of particle physics are responsible for 3 of the 4 known forces in the universe. A force is conferred is through the exchange of virtual bosons. So for example in...

Quantum theory solved many problems with classical theory - the photoelectric effect solved by Einstein, atomic model solved by Niels Bohr. But quantum theory had a high price - determinism. it introduced...

Does a final theory exist that can end our reductionist probing into ever shorter distances? Or is there no end to reductionism? There should be an end point because as the object of our measurement gets small...

A quantum wormhole was created by a team of physicists led by Maria Spiropulu of CalTech. But this was not a wormhole in spacetime, but a quantum holographic wormhole created inside a quantum computer.



The...

Physicists know how to use the equations of quantum mechanics to predict things, but don't really understand what is fundamentally going on.



The primary challenge is that according to the...

Karl Schwarzschild crafted the first exact solution to Einstein's equations of general relativity. He found that as gravity increased around an object, there must be a point where even light could not escape. He theorized black holes.

Max Planck's theory was  proposed by Max Planck in 1900 revolutionized the field of physics by introducing quantum mechanics and fundamentally reshaping our comprehension of the subject. Planck conducted research on black body...

In 1913, Niels Bohr proposed an atomic model that dramatically altered our comprehension of atomic structure by establishing a novel framework for describing the arrangement and behaviour of electrons within an atom....

The photoelectric effect is a phenomenon where electrons are emitted from a material, typically a metal, when exposed to light. This effect supports the quantum theory of light and demonstrates the particle-like properties of...

Black body radiation is a fundamental topic in physics that has significantly influenced our understanding of quantum mechanics. A black body is an idealized physical object that absorbs all electromagnetic radiation, regardless of...

Niels Bohr's model of the atom introduced the idea of quantised orbits for electrons. In these, electrons occupy stable energy levels and either give off or take in photons when they move between these levels. This model was able to...

Quantum physics deals with the foundation of our world – the electrons in an atom, the protons inside the nucleus, the quarks that build those protons, and the photons that we perceive as light. These constitute everything that we are...

How Gauss found the sum of all the numbers between 1 and 100, in a matter of seconds, aged just seven! He had developed a formula for triangular numbers, and went on to be hailed as the Prince of Mathematics as he moved on to more...

Born in Russia and a talented violin player, Cantor is best remembered for inventing Set Theory – but his life and work was overshadowed by his bipolar personality. Maths - History Of Maths A Twig Math Film. Reinforce and extend the...

This video delves into Albert Einstein's "miracle year" of 1905, when he published revolutionary papers that changed our understanding of light, atoms, and the universe. Learn about his theories on photons and quantum theory, his proof...

How random are things, really? Well, at the tiny level of photons, randomness might be key to their existence. Einstein could not accept this and famously held the paraphrased opinion that, ‘God does not play dice with the universe’. In...

Nobel Laureate Antony Leggett describes his gut feeling that cosmology is ripe for a major revolution, and describes why he is not particularly sympathetic to the field of "quantum cosmology".

The wave-particle duality seems to used all the time to explain quantum mechanics to the public, but it is one of my pet peeves. It represents an outmoded way of thinking (old quantum theory), which is replaced by our current...

We finally learn the rule of quantum mechanics responsible for a lot of the strangeness of the theory.

God does not play dice with the universe' Einstein famously argued. Yet contemporary physics embeds just such dice playing at the core of its account. Is the universe really unknowable even to itself? Or as Einstein implied is this...

The proof and maths of Noethers theorem: There are two ways to approach Noethers theorem that I know of. The most common is through Lagrangian mechanics- where the proof is surprisingly simple but unfortunately quite opaque . The other...

Well be looking at Bells Theorem and what it actually says about whether Quantum Mechanics is true.

The EPR paradox tries to prove that quantum mechanics is wrong.
