Fundamental Particles Through Painting
Series of 17 paintings inspired by each quantum particle, painted with equations, diagrams and numbers. Each particle is explained in the text below. 1. Up quark The up quark or u quark (symbol: u) is the lightest of all quarks, a type of elementary particle, and…
Banach-Tarski Paradox
Can a ball be reassembled into two identically-sized copies of itself? The answer is surprisingly yes! What is this Theorem? The Banach-Tarski paradox is perhaps the most astonishing theorem in modern mathematics, being highly counterintuitive. Essentially, it state…
The Observer's Measurement Affects the Reality
Many wrong or at least incomplete or naive answers here. It is not necessary to “disturb” a particle to “observe” it. Modern versions of the infamous double-slit experiment can generate which-path information without ever interacting with the particle, the particle is …
Why do we fall but Electrons don't?
The thing about falling can be taken into consideration in many different forms, but here we are interested in a more scientific (Physical) form of understanding. So, it clears that I am not going to complete the sentence by saying something philosophical like When do…
Existence of Tachyons
Tachyon is just a general term for some hypothetical particle that travels faster than the speed of light. According to the theory of special relativity that particle must have an imaginary mass. It also can never slow down, but actually loses energy to speed up. Th…
What is Physics?
Physics is the natural science that studies matter and its motion and behavior through space and time and that studies the related entities of energy and force.Physics is one of the most fundamental scientific disciplines, and its main goal is to understand how the…
