Just a couple of weeks ago, we had a set of five anagrams, which you unscrambled to get the names of 10 scientists. They collectively covered one lap in the first phase and two laps in the second phase. — Professor Anshul Kumar, Delhi Solution to Puzzle 68.1 Dear Mr Kabir, By their first meeting, the slower one had covered …
In Christopher Nolan's hit biopic "Oppenheimer," real-life Danish physicist Niels Bohr is more than just a major character. Atom illustration "Through his physics, Bohr fundamentally changed our view of the world we live in," Dr. Christian Joas, Director of the Niels Bohr Archive at the University of Copenhagen, told Salon by email. Just as the film "Oppenheimer" is cagey about …
American film director Christopher Nolan’s latest work, Oppenheimer, has dominated theatres worldwide, delivering one of the most iconic box office weekends for cinema. Known as the “father of the atomic bomb,” Oppenheimer’s contributions to nuclear physics and science in general not only sparked technological advancements but also raised questions about ethics and science. “I forgot about beryllium and films and …
The Blue Flash: How a careless slip led to a fatal accident in the Manhattan Project Slotin in the moments before the accident. A little before 15:00, in the middle of one of the laboratory buildings, Graves spotted something he recognised: the "critical assembly", which was Slotin's specialism. In Schreiber's official report, he said Slotin acted "too rapidly and without …
Shivling is the metaphorical embodiment of Lord Shiva. The fact behind Danish scientist Niels Bohr’s scientific research suggests that molecules are made up of atoms, which consist of protons, neutrons, and electrons, all of which play a key part in the composition of Shivling. Instead of protons, neutrons, electrons, molecules, and energy, the ancient sages employed words like lingam, Vishnu, …
The finding is the strongest result yet in a series of quantum mechanical discoveries that have upended our ideas about reality. We have found a new paradox in quantum mechanics – one of our two most fundamental scientific theories, together with Einstein’s theory of relativity – that throws doubt on some common-sense ideas about physical reality. In many cases, quantum …
