  • Introduction to special theory of relativity.

    Introduction to special theory of relativity.

    Special Theory of Relativity: Galilean Transformations,. Newtonian Relativity. This was a lecture delivered to physics-elective class of a 3 year non-physics degree students on 10th April 2017. This is also a good exposition to honors students and anyone at an introductory level of the special theory of relativity, with requisite mathematical background.  Let us consider…

  • The hinterland of particle physics

    The hinterland of particle physics

    Particle Physics is collectively an effort to study the exciting world of subatomic particles and the nature of their interaction. By subatomic we mean anything that happens within the atom or below and not above. The implications could cover as much above, as it would be entailed by the precincts of natural laws. eg If…

  • Feynman Diagram of Higgs Boson Production.

    Feynman Diagram of Higgs Boson Production.

    This is a copy of the diagram from Wikipedia. I produced this using codes developed by me as previously instructed here with other examples. — What to do when its 2 am around here, you are fresh but nowhere to go. Here is the code: % Feynman diagram % Requires PGF >= 2.0 \documentclass{article} \usepackage[latin1]{inputenc}…

  • The Basics Of Physics — Is Gravity Amenable To Quantization?

    The Basics Of Physics — Is Gravity Amenable To Quantization?

    The basics of Physics — is Gravity amenable to Quantization? This is a very detailed and long article, but written in a very simple language, as it seems to me, describing such concepts as; the basis of expectations of “Quantization of Gravity with other forces” which is colloquially known as Einstein’s dream of GUT –…

  • Energy-time uncertainty is a distance-time and speed-time uncertainty.

    Energy-time uncertainty is a distance-time and speed-time uncertainty.

    OPERA sees 7.5 km/s fallout which goes above photon-speed. This will be consistent with Relativity if they incurred a larger error on their energy while at the same time keeping their time uncertainty between 1 to 10 nanosecs. SO they need to show us their energy distribution with uncertainties …
