Imagine the fabric of space itself rippling like the surface of a pond. This might sound like science fiction, but it’s a natural phenomenon known as gravitational waves. These waves, which travel through the very fabric of space-time, are caused by some of the universe’s most violent and energetic processes. In this blog, we’ll delve …
When you think of outer space, what comes to mind? Perhaps vast emptiness, twinkling stars, or distant galaxies? But space isn’t as empty as it might seem. In fact, it’s filled with a fascinating mixture of gas, dust, and cosmic particles that play a crucial role in the universe’s ongoing evolution. One of the most …
Have you ever looked up at the night sky and wondered if we’re truly alone in the universe? The vastness of space, with its countless stars, makes you question whether there might be other forms of life out there. This curiosity drives one of the most exciting scientific endeavours of our time: the search for …
Have you ever looked up at the night sky and wondered what happens when a star dies? It’s a question as old as humanity itself. The answer lies in one of the most powerful and awe-inspiring phenomena in the universe: supernova explosions. These cosmic fireworks not only light up the night sky but also play …
Imagine tuning your radio to a station, only to hear a persistent hiss in the background. This hiss isn’t just static—it’s the ancient echo of the universe itself, a remnant from a time when the cosmos was still in its infancy. This whisper from the past is known as the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) Radiation, …
When we think about the universe’s building blocks, we often consider atoms, stars, and planets. But hidden in the fabric of the cosmos, tiny particles called neutrinos quietly influence the universe in ways we are only beginning to understand. In this blog, “Role of Neutrinos in Shaping the Universe,” we will explore these elusive particles, …
Picture this: You’re looking up at the night sky, marvelling at the stars, planets, and galaxies that twinkle from afar. But what if I told you that all the stars, planets, and everything we can see with our eyes make up less than 5% of the universe? The rest is largely invisible to us, with …
Picture waking up one day to a world completely stripped of light, sound, or Wi-Fi signals. It would feel like being cast into an abyss, cut off from the very essence of our daily life. Yet, all these aspects—light, sound, and Wi-Fi—are manifestations of one of the most fundamental phenomena in physics: electromagnetic radiation. The …
Have you ever touched a hot stove and instantly pulled your hand away without even thinking? Or jumped at a sudden loud noise? These automatic actions are examples of human reflexes and responses—an incredible aspect of our nervous system that keeps us safe and helps us react to the world around us. In this blog, …
Have you ever wondered why the universe is expanding at an accelerating rate? Scientists have been puzzled by this question for decades, and the answer seems to lie in something mysterious known as dark energy. Although we can’t see or touch it, dark energy is believed to make up about 68% of the universe and …
