Minds That Saw into God

The who-is-who of the minds that saw into the nature of God by unveiling scientific and philosophical know-how to better understand the universe. Why is it that they don’t make them like that any more?
The following picture is from the famous 5th Solvay Conference in Belgium, which brought together the greatest minds of the [...]

Type 1.5 Superconductivity

What distinguishes discoveries is that they unearth a new perspective to look at a problem, sometimes as long standing and well studied topic as superconductivity. Here we learn about the discovery of a new type of superconductor. It turns out that Victor Moshchalkov of the Catholic University of Leuven in Belgium and colleagues have shown [...]

The Pleasure of Finding Things Out

A series of conversations with the late Prof. Richard Feynman, a genius and thinker we can all aspire to learn from.

Why Some Ideas Go Viral and Others Do Not

In the spirit of continuing the process of correlating concepts in physics/science with that of day-to-day human behaviors, here we will discuss why some ideas go viral and others do not. The formulation presented here concerns with the idea of quantum tunneling. When a wave-like entity at a quantum scale encounters a potential barrier of a higher energy than [...]

“I Am Everywhere at Once; I Have Lost My Identity…”

In an excerpt from a NOVA program on “The Race for Absolute Zero,” Prof. Daniel Kleppner of MIT explains how matter changes as it nears -459.67 °F, or absolute zero. This state of matter, the Bose-Einstein condensate, was discovered, in 1995, to exist in alkali metals at twenty-billionth of a degree (20 nK) above absolute zero by [...]
