Fun Fact: Neutrinos are so small and elusive that billions of them pass through your body every second without you even noticing. What’s lighter than a feather, invisible to the eye, and zooms through the universe—and through you—every moment of the day? It’s not a sci-fi ghost. It’s the neutrino, one of the strangest and …
Fun Fact: If matter and antimatter were created equally during the Big Bang, they should have completely annihilated each other, meaning none of us should exist! Imagine waking up one morning to find out you technically shouldn’t exist. Sounds wild, right? Well, according to our best theories about the universe, that’s exactly the mystery scientists …
Did you know? The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN (European Organization for Nuclear Research) holds the title of the most powerful particle accelerator on Earth, capable of propelling particles to nearly the speed of light before colliding them! Imagine a machine so powerful that it can recreate the conditions that existed just moments after …
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, …
On April 9, 2024, the world of physics lost one of its brightest minds, Peter Higgs, at the age of 94. Renowned for theorizing the existence of a particle so fundamental that it would later bear his name—the Higgs boson—Higgs’ work has profoundly shaped our understanding of the universe. Who Was Peter Higgs? Born in …
