Science Education for All – World Science U

Today, while catching up on my regular news, I came across a headline that read: "Want to learn about special relativity or the fundamentals of physics? Now you can." It sounded like a marketing pitch, but with Brian Greene in the picture, things changed. I went to the website in the picture and signed up. Seeing the content brought tears to my eyes. This man is not only a brilliant physicist, but he's also something I strive for myself.

Consequences of the Discovery of Gravitational Waves – 2 – Quantum Fields, the Higgs Field and Inflation Theory

In my previous article, "The Discovery and Consequences of Gravitational Waves," I explained what gravitational waves are, how they arise, their discovery, and their consequences. But I realized I'd forgotten to mention something about their consequences, so I decided to write this article. While I'm at it, I'll also explain the connection between the Higgs field and inflationary theory. The Support for Multiverses and Inflationary Theory In fact, multiverses […]

ICEcoder IDE – Coding in the Browser

ICEcoder – A Good IDE Icecoder is a PHP-based IDE that you can easily download. All you have to do is download it from http://icecoder.net/ and upload it to your server. I create a folder in public_html and place it under it. Then, when you first log in from your browser, it will ask you to set a password at www.exampledomain.com/icecoder/. You then log in with that password. I recommend creating a strong password. Being open source […]

The Discovery of Gravitational Waves and Its Consequences

The discovery of gravitational waves was actually last month. I didn't feel compelled to write about it until I saw a news story about it on the Quark Science Society's website. But yesterday, when I searched for "gravitational waves" on Uncle Gugle and saw that no one else had explained it properly, I felt compelled to write about it. What are gravitational waves? First of all, what are gravitational waves? When Einstein proposed his theory of special relativity, he realized that it contradicted Newton's theory of gravity […]

Discovery of Tetraquarks and Quark Stars at Cern

I know I've been looking back a lot lately, but I won't go too far this time. Thinking back to the last two years, 2013 and this year saw some major discoveries. Perhaps we could call them anticipated discoveries in physics and astronomy (the last two weren't actually expected), but we shouldn't forget these two years. Major discoveries were made. Last year, the Higgs boson was discovered […]

Solitaire Ring in Space – Abell 33

Astronomers using ESO's Very Large Telescope in Chile have captured a striking image of the planetary nebula PN A66 33 — commonly known as Abell 33. This beautiful blue bubble, formed when an old star sheds its material into space, has coincidentally aligned with a star in front of it, creating a structure resembling an enigmatic silver solitaire engagement ring. Similar to our Sun […]
