EVOLUTION OF PHYSICS- THE MODERN INTERPRETATIONS OF PHYSICS (1)

No other discipline of science has grown and developed rapidly as Physics. In the blogs that follow I will try level best to describe the modern notions of this subject, but wait...do you know that the Newton's Law and its numericals, Newton's Universal Law of Gravitation, the Bohr's Model of Atom etc that you learnt hard for your exams do not hold good universally and are 'false statements' according to modern notions and human research. Then why did we learn all these statements in the first place. This is a very relevant question, we solved questions based on these so called 'false statements' and lost marks for not solving it correctly, when the 'law' itself is wrong! We learnt them because, we should understand were they went wrong and how they were corrected. For example, earliest understanding of nature was such that the universe was made up of matter, but later we learnt that matter is made up of atoms, Democritus, an ancient Greek philosophe

Who is great? Newton or Einstein 🤔

W ow!!! W hat a question! T his is the question which comes to the mind of any human being when they encounter science. This question is tricky and interesting to deal with. Mmmm...being an ardent follower of Sir Isaac Newton...you may think that I may support Newton but now in this blog we are going to explore all the points associated with these scientific geniuses. S o, let's get started... '' Sorry Newton '' Albert Einstein wrote these words in his diary when he proved that Newton was wrong about some of his well-known ideas. I saac Newton is often considered as the greatest mathematician and scientist of all time but a sudden reversal in this title happened in the nineteenth century, with the birth of a boy, named Albert, Albert Einstein...a boy who would revolutionise science especially physics forever...                                                                             Figure 1: Albert Einstein ''Learn from yesterday, live for today, hope f

CARL FRIEDRICH GAUSS - THE MATHEMATICAL GIANT

Carl Friedrich Gauss is one of history's most influential mathematicians. He played a major role in the development of mathematics which he called 'the Queen of all Sciences' and made it an interesting subject for many around the world.  His extraordinary mathematical capability is widely popularised through his famous anecdotes. Gauss remains a person to be admired and respected by every student who has learnt mathematics or admired it beauty... '' Mathematics is the queen of all sciences and arithmetic is the queen of mathematics ' ' - Carl Gauss                                                                                                                                       Figure 1:   Carl Friedrich Gauss Carl Gauss was a young prodigy. He showed extraordinary capability in analysing things and conceiving the idea hidden in them. As one story goes,  Gauss was sitting beside his father who was working on a sum associated with finances. Gauss immediatel
