Why is the helicity for a mass-less particle Lorentz invariant?
Result; now that photons are mass-less, their energy, momentum, speed, etc are no more variables, in the sense of arbitrariness. They are constants, taking only a few values, but constant in a given situation. But other particles have these properties; arbitrary. So electrons energy and momentum are not fixed, but arbitrary. But as long as…

Why Bose is not the scientist after whom Higgs is named.
A very few particles (out of 1000s) are named after scientists, eg the so called mu meson was called a Yukawa Meson, although it turned out to be a misnomer. Mu-meson was found to be a lepton, rather than a meson, as was thought by Yukawa and others. Now called Muon it belongs in the…

A particle that defies classical mechanics !
A photon has no mass but energy and it has speed and it has momentum although it does not have mass. Thats impossible in Classical Mechanics. Because Classical Mechanics associates with every mass; momentum and kinetic and potential energy. All those would be zero if mass were to be zero. Also the speed of the…

A step toward Higher Education?
Here is the summary. And I am quoting actual numbers from News Paper Reports. News Report; 5% Odisha Resident students. [Including perhaps those also who would be Odia by their citizenship, irrespective of where they stay] My estimate; a typical 10% general category students, going by how large the quota regime entails in terms of…

What is it like to be in an Ivy League. Just a musing.
The other aspect is from my own experience, while you are highly qualified, you are perhaps no more pouring in as much as even you would like to pour in, in terms of real research. You or your employers don’t want you to go into controversies, because they drain you out of wit and the…
