October 09, 2016Researchers out of MIT have proposed a unique means of detecting dark matter by simulating a neutron star.Physicists have long known that the universe is far more than it seems. The gravitational behavior of galaxies can& 39;t be explained by the matter we can directly observe. This led scientists to propose that an as-yet-undetectable extra mass must exist, aptly named dark matter.

In physics, it can be difficult to see how each subsection works with another. This one map shows how each part of physics works together.By Shelby RogersDecember 02, 2016The umbrella of physics covers a lifetime& 39;s worth of study. It includes everything from black holes, waves, quantum mechanics, and the elusive dark matter.

January 03, 2017Sir Isaac Newton, one of the most influential scientists of all time, was particularly interested in the orbit of the moon around the earth. He reasoned that the force keeping the moon in its trajectory must be gravity and hence gravity must extend over vast distances. From this point on, scientists have been trying to understand what gravity is and how to measure it.

January 24, 2017The sign reads & 34;No Unauthorised Personnel& 34;, the gate is bolted shut with a hardened steel padlock. He reaches into his pocket and pulls out a blunt ended instrument with a bright light on its end. He points it towards the lock and with the surge of a deafening frequency, the bolt springs open.

Don& 39;t be scared, as complex as the Theory of Relativity seems to be; it& 39;s surprisingly simple. In this short article, we will attempt to explain what Einstein proposes to give you some insight. So, without further ado, here is our simplified explanation of the Theory of Relativity.Technically speakingWhen we refer to the & 34;Theory of Relativity& 34; what we actually mean is general relativity.

February 25, 2017Supercomputers are about to jump to an entirely new level. Quantum computing is evolving fast, and now, two quantum computers faced off for the first time in history.
