  • Still some gravity !!

    So talking about gravity fondly I have made a remark “Its not gravity that makes you fall”. You would be shocked as if you fell down but its not due to gravity but something else is at work, Am I a Physicist propounding a phantom theory? The actual statement I made is “Its not gravity…

  • Did Newton know Quantum Mechanics?

    My insight of the day. Quantum Mechanics makes Newton’s Law consistent in its two forms. Otherwise they would be inconsistent. So Newton knew some QMech. He knew 1. F=ma=mdv/dt and 2. F=dp/dt. These two are consistent in a framework where wave-particles are central. Because F=ma corresponds to particles and F=dp/dt corresponds to waves. I will…

  • How to add speeds; Galileo and Einstein won’t agree.

    How to add speeds; Galileo and Einstein won’t agree.

    How to calculate the speed of anything, when their speed becomes closer to the speed-of-light.  This article was originally a comment in the linked article;  Why Nothing Moves Faster Than Light. — In order to correct the comment I have made earlier  ” unless something is completely mass-less in its rest-frame ” I also add the following. This…

  • Optical Path and Fermat’s Principle.

    Optical Path and Fermat’s Principle.

    Mirror and Fermat’s principle: We can see ourselves in the mirror and take our mirror reflected selfie as a consequence of Fermat’s Principle, the topic of discussion of the blog. … Snell’s Law governs refraction which is adjustment of optical paths in in-homogeneous media because light can no more travel at its speed in free-space.…

  • The Boson conundrum and the fishing tendency.

    As scientists Einstein and Bose were not particle physicists. Less so Einstein did not even believe in Quantum Mechanics which later he had to recant, but Quantum Mechanics as developed by others (Schrodinger, Dirac, Heisenberg, Feynman, Bohr et al) is the most important basis of Particle Physics as a research field. Einstein while is credited…
