What if you fall into a black hole?

After getting bored from you lectures, assignments and exams, it's a good idea to go out for a spacewalk. Isn't it?😄 Oh wait! Jumping into a black hole seems to be a better one. Have you ever imagined the situation into a black hole ? What would happen if you enter into it? The reality might be weirder than your expectations. Well, a black hole is that cosmic mystery which may tear apart all the physical laws into pieces. So, you might have to think out of the box. Before entering into the black hole you have to pass the accretion disk which is too hot to be imagined, spitting out Hawking Radiation,  and finally the event horizon. Suppose, anyhow, you have succeeded in overcoming these nightmares, what's next?  There are the opinions of a few intellectuals about the further possibilities: 1. If you were to take a jump into a black hole, your body would most closely resemble "the toothpaste being pushed out of a tube," said Charles Liu, an astrophysi...

3 astonishing theories about the universe

There are a number of cosmological models and theories you might have heard about. Many of them answer most of the questions but not all. The curiosity and the quest to find the answers often result in more theories. Here we present 3 astonishing cosmological models about the universe. After all these are still theories as none has been proved yet. 1.White Holes You must have heard about the Black Hole ( click here ). A black hole is the result of a star which has died, creating a highly dense and massive body which sucks in light and all other matter surrounding it. But where do all these matter and energy go? White holes are just opposite to black holes. Instead of sucking in, they spit out everything what the blackhole absorbs. It is an area in spacetime which couldn't take anything in but throw it out into its surrounding. This was an hypothetical model created using the concept of relativity. If one will be ever found in future, it might disprove many laws of ...

Birth of the Universe

We all are living in a world full of interesting facts and mind blowing stories, and for many of us, one of the most questionable statement is the -"CREATION OF THE UNIVERSE". We live in a beautiful blue planet, earth but why are we here? Why is this so? Why the universe is in the way that it is?? Almost every religions believe that the god, a super power led to creation of us. Lord Krishna has the whole universe in his mouth, African god 'Mbombo' vomited the universe and there are infinitely many never-ending stories about God all over the planet but all are not acceptable. Different stories across the world lead to the two theories explaining the creation of the Universe: 1) Steady State Theory 2) Big Bang Theory Steady-state Theory Some scholars believe in the Steady State Theory. According to this theory, Universe was always the same. It has neither the beginning nor the end. This theory insists on the constant density of the universe. As we kno...

The concept of Black Hole

Don't be fooled by its name. A black hole is not really a hole as its name suggests. Before diving into the topic let's first be familiar with a few terms. Image of a Black Hole Escape velocity - The lowest velocity with which when an object is thrown from any cosmic body [planets, stars etc] escapes or moves out of its gravitational pull. The escape velocity of the Earth is 11.2 Km/s. Event Horizon - The boundary after which no light or other radiation can move out after striking a black hole. Light cant escape out completely from the pull of a black hole but it does come to a certain limit, that's event horizon of a black hole. A Black Hole is a super dense, massive object with an infinitesimally small volume having escape velocity higher than the velocity of light. And nothing can move faster than light so, nothing can escape out of a black hole. This is the reason it appears completely dark because even light can't reflect back from it. Think of a star...

String Theory. Know on the go.

String theory  We rely on string theory to understand and to combine the quantum theory and the gravity. As the name suggests, whole theory is based on string like structures. The one dimensional objects which only have length. The lies and move through background spacetime. The advance version of string theory i.e. superstring theory is considered as THEORY OF EVERYTHING . So what string theory exactly is ??? Strings are one dimensional objects that contain energy and by there flow, one can say that energy is moving. Suppose we take a long thread and tie a knot, it will became a loop, similarly strings are joined to make a loop known as Heterotic string. These are 5 independent strings theories, telling the same thing but in different dimensions. Combination of all the 5 string theories is known as S uperstring theory . Let us see how  it works... Consider a violin, the strings attached to it, are producing waves, which are the source of energy. Havin...

1. Why there are curls drawn at the center of moving turbine in an airplane jet engine? Ans. You must be aware of the fact that the jet engines of any commercial airplane are capable of sucking an adult if he/she passes before it. The human body cuts into pieces and a red soup like thing drains out from the back of the jet engine. To avoid this type of accident, and to inform the workers whether the engine is ON or not, a curl is drawn in the front which when rotates seems like a spinning whirlpool. It also helps in keeping out birds. 2.Why lights in the passenger cabin dims during take-off and landing? Ans. If you have ever been in an airplane, you must have observed that the lights inside the passenger cabin are dimmed during take-off and landing, at night. This is because of the fact that 80% of air accidents occur during take-off and landing. And our eyes might take about 10 mins to adapt in the darkness after a sudden light-off condition. To aid the chances of surv...
