Inertia - Science for You

GALAXY TYPES Galaxies What are galaxies? Yeah, you know that. It's a system of a large number of stars -  billions and millions of stars. It also has gas and dust. These interstellar gases and dust absorb light from the stars and diminish the light reaching our eyes further along with diminishing it faces by distance. Unawareness of these absorbing gases and dust in the past had led to miscalculations of distances and locations. Okay, now focus on the topic. Galaxy types Spiral Spiral galaxies show rotation and flattening with a central bulge. Our galaxy is a spiral galaxy. This type is the most numerous among bright galaxies. Milky Way Galaxy. Image courtesy: NASA The different types of spiral galaxies are Sa, Sb, Sc... . This progression is in the decreasing order of importance of the nucleus or the central bulge wrt the surrounding disc. Milky Way is of the Sb type. Barred Spiral Some spiral galaxies have bars in their centre. they are the barred spiral

SONOLUMINESCENCE Sonoluminescence: the phenomenon of production of light from sound; to be said the simplest. The interesting matter is that, we don’t know how! Science is searching for explanations. Okay, so let’s talk about sonoluminescence. SOME PHILOSOPHY Some hold that everything we discover these days, from the past many centuries, are but re-discoveries only. The knowledge about everything had once been acquired; but it got lost. Personally, Echo Delta as well believes in it. And, all those are not really ‘lost’, but rather is now hidden in scriptures like Mahabharata, Holy Bible, Holy Qur’an, Torah etc. So, why am I talking about this now? Genesis 1.3 of the Old Testament, Holy Bible, goes as follows: ‘Then God commanded, “Let there be light”- and light appeared.’ This command is the first command of God. And, when light was ‘created’, what He saw was water. This might imply sonoluminescence. Yes, I mean it. God produces a sound, that sound creates light: so

Greetings! We’ll be talking about the most tiny bit of anything, here. Yeah, so what’s everything made up of? Atoms?? And what about atoms? They’re made of protons, neutrons, electrons and aaahh! Now, what about the protons and neutrons? Further they are made up of sub-atomic particles; quarks, in this case. (A/N: following the remarks that this blog’s English is ‘non-decipherable’ by many, Echo Delta shall be trying to dilute it… ‘if not for my reader, then for whom do I write.’) FERMIONS AND BOSONS Basically, what do we have around us? Matter and force. We are materials (~from matter) and so is our Earth. The Earth holds us on it by gravitation. The gravitation here is the force, obviously. Thus everything around can be seen as matter and force. Force is by means of which matters interact. What are the tiniest bits of matter and force? Yes, it’s time for the heroic entry of our protagonists! (^drum-rolls please^) the FERMIONS AND BOSONS!!! Fermions are the particles of matter, and

Yeah! Hear it once more: our earth is HOLLOW!! Or at least, that's what some hollow-earthers claim it to be.  For what those who oppose it are holding is only ‘OHHH! What nonsense!’, ‘How can that ever be so?!!’ and some facts opposing some clues held up by some youtubers; sadly, nothing more scientific - except for the case they argue with seismic wave readings, which confusingly is done by the hollow earthers as well. MAIN CONTENTS The hollow earth theory: Facts The Theory: Hollow Earth Some Random Thoughts and Thoughts So.. let’s see about the Hollow Earth Theory. It started a loooong way back in history. And, maybe hence, many sites just push this aside remarking it just ‘a historical theory’. The hollow earth theory: Facts Heard about Wilhelm Reich? In brevity, Dr Reich was punished to death officially for continuing with his research! 😳 Read further details here . Now, hear the name Rear Admiral Byrd . He’d had

Censored Science? Heard of Wilhelm Reich? A great psychoanalyst who could heal all types of neurosis and psychological and behavioral problems. It was in the 1940s that he came up with a form of energy and its accumulator which was remarked “the most important single discovery in the history of medicine”. The Orgone Energy!! And the accumulator was more like a big capacitor and showed good results. The energy is there in the atmosphere, space and in living organisms as well. What Dr Reich observed was that the  orgone energy charge in the human biosystem was expressed in emotions and sexuality. It could be measured electrically. This man - this great man, did wonders! He made artificial rain a success! The accumulator cured illnesses! He did even more fascinating, read on. The Food and Drug Administration, U.S., burned off all the books and journals prepared by Dr Reich.All the books, notes, journals and whatever existing were destroyed if it contained the words ‘orgone’

Suppose…     ...you have two ladoos in hand. You weighed each and found one 8 and the other 12 grams. Now, you want a bigger ladoo from those two and, wuhooo!, here I am with a glowing bulb over my head and helping hands. You hand them over to me, and I crush them both and mould the crumps of both ladoos together making a bigger ladoo for you. But, as you weigh the bigger ladoo I just made, you find it to be 17 gram. 12 + 8 = ???! Haa, yes, there arises a question on the missing 3 gram! So, what yeh gonna do? Huh! Blame me?? Nah, I didn’t - I didn’t eat it. Okay, so what’s the matter? Consider these ladoos to be black holes . Yeah, I mean it. Such a case was found with black holes as well. It was found that two black holes of solar masses 36 and 29, collapsed not to form a black hole of 36 + 29 = 65 solar mass, but of 62 solar mass. The missing 3 solar mass here went into the production of gravitational waves. And, that was the birth of gravitational waves . Not just

T IME D ILATION You hear people saying ‘time slows down’ or ‘time speeds up’; ‘You can travel back into your past’ or ‘you can time travel to your future’ and blah blah time time. Or you might have seen the movie Interstellar and was like ‘Ohh! No way! That’s not possible’ or ‘But how?’ or ‘No, he can’t get younger than his daughter!’ You wanna know how? I shall tell you. The thing is, when you travel faster, time slows down for you. Time is relative. As beautifully explained by Einstein, for a man sitting with a pretty girl, an hour seems like a minute, and for him sitting on a hot stove, a minute seems more than an hour. It is a fact! Can’t accept it? Consider, a photon trapped perpendicularly in between two parallel mirrors. It bounces off from one to the other, continuously. alt="time dilation explained for anyone" The yellow dot is the photon, and its motion is depicted by the arrowheads. ‘d’ is the distance travelled by the photon from one mirror t

P HYSICS FOR A VERY BASIC BEGINNER F ALL IN LOVE WITH P HYSICS #fallinlove Suppose… ...you are travelling in a bus, facing forward the direction of movement. It’s a bit crowded; however there’s some loose space for one beautiful girl (say boy if you are a girl) at a pillar a few feet forth of you. Now when you are having this thought of that attractive girl, the bus stops and she boards! She boards! Coincidence or what (the word ‘Coincidence’ comes important in physics some time when we are dealing with multiverse, btw. But, hey, she’s damn beautiful and you can’t be distracted to physics!), she comes to that spot before the pillar. She leans on the pillar, which makes her face backwards. Awwwwww, those pinky lips ! You are having an uncontrollable crush. You step forward, nearer and nearer. Swing your head forth, and both your lips meet. Now, if the driver kicks for a sudden brake, you kiss her, and when she reacts bad, blame PHYSICS! Shout out ‘NEWTON!’ Blame INERTIA!!

Wuhoo!! * claps * Yeah, clap for yourself! For you have arrived at the best place on internet for you!! mystic INERTIA - Science for You You might be wondering: ‘Science for me??’ Well, yes, for you! Whoever you are, you can take this in! You know nothing about science at all?? Most welcome, if so. If everything you read to this point from the applause you got is clear to you, whatever coming forth will also be so for you. If not, clearer! Or, is it like you claim to know everything ? If so as well, you may enter right in! It will help you in two aspects as Echo Delta, the author of this blog (well, me myself), will write about everything in the realm of science, from the very basics to the extreme infinity. One is that, it might help you freshen the science you learnt at the very outset; over which everything else you have learnt so far have piled up. Second is that it will help you realise that there’s still more for you to know. You will find for yourself contrary ev
