Exploring From Quarks To Quasars
In the previous article of the series, we started our journey of core astrophysics by learning about the redshifts. Today I’m going to shed light on a very important law of physics that is simple …

Albert Einstein was one of the greatest minds to walk on this planet. Born more than 100 years ago, scientists are still trying to prove his theories. But like everyone on Earth, even he faced …
Neutrinos, generally referred to as nature’s ghost particles, are fermions which were first postulated in 1930 by Wolfgang Pauli to explain the conservation of energy, momentum and spin in Beta decay. From the day of …
According to the European Space Agency (ESA), there are approximately 1 trillion trillion (10^24) stars in the universe. The number, for sure, will increase as humans get better at technology and explore deep space. But …

According to Researchers, CERN’s Large Hadron Collider (LHC) can possibly turn out to be a first time machine. The Large Hadron Collider is the world’s largest and the most powerful particle accelerator. Being the most powerful …
Theoretical Background of ITER New technologies often use devices and substances that are very different from what classical physics first revealed to scientists. The fourth, lesser known state of matter, is called plasma and consists …
There are approximately 1 trillion trillion stars in our Universe, a number approximated by European Space Agency (ESA). Stars in the Universe come in all sizes. Their radius can be as small as 20 km …
