    Can a black-hole be created on earth by LHC?

    This post belongs to the eschaton theme. Which means a small and swift blog post just to do justice to something that can’t be made comprehensively large by any reason, at the moment.  Read the linked news article which giving excerpts from a book by the famed Martin Rees which I haven’t read, nonetheless which…

  • There is nothing there.

    There is nothing there.

    According to classical mechanics — from 400 year old knowledge of physics, space and time have been considered to be separate entities but not fundamental. Space and time were not considered fundamental quantities as these parameters did not have the mandate to change physical laws of nature. They were merely the tools of the mind…

  • My PhD Thesis, Preliminary Exam !

    But my own PhD thesis is a kind of different tale altogether. For my work there is no CP Violation. In CP Violation two leptons (electrons and positrons are leptons) are imparted quite good amount of energy and made to collide against each other. Thus just like in CERN lab, there is a much smaller…

  • 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…

    Why India can go to Mars and not the atom?

    Whats the electron’s electricity bill? Our democracy has made it easier that if every person pays a little particle physics is really not that expensive, even less expensive than Diwali, Diwali comes every year. A lab for example would stay for 3 decades if opened. I worked for a particle lab whose cms energy for…
