Transport coefficients are mathematical constants that arise in differential equations in times and places that describe physical phenomena in the area of non-equilibrium statistical mechanics. These transport coefficients describe the behavior of the physical system when there is a deviation from…

Four dimensional spacetime is not an objective description of space and time. Points, lines and planes supposedly have a zero dimension, but 1×0=0. What they really have is a virtual dimension, not zero dimension. While a point can presumably be…

When you think of X-ray vision, you’re probably tempted to think of the X-rays you’ve seen at your doctor’s or dentist’s office that look like a piece of black film with white shadows showing your bones or teeth. Those radiographs,…

The fundamental forces of nature are the interactions between the particles, which remain unexplained in terms of other kind of forces, or interactions. The most fundamental interactions of nature can be counted as four in number, which can be described…

Friction is encountered every moment of every day.  Friction can be defined as “the force that opposes motion”.  It affects the lives of everyone in incredible ways. Examples of friction’s life-changing qualities can be found everywhere. Imagine if the ability…

Recently the world of particle physics was shaken by a group of CERN scientists who reported tracking sub-atomic particles traveling at faster than light (FTL) speed during an experiment called OPERA. It’s a universal speed limit that none other than…

My father used to tell me, “Believe nothing you hear and only half of what you see.” When dealing with quantum mechanics you may want to revise that statement to say “believe nothing you see”. Because when dealing with the…

Was Einstein wrong? That’s the question being asked by amazed physicists across the globe upon the heels of a report on experiments conducted over three years. Faster-than-light particles measured Scientists at CERN, the home of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC)…
