WHAT DOES UNCERTAINTY ACTUALLY MEAN?

 HEISENBERG'S UNCERTAINTY PRINCIPLE  

It becomes a bit perplexing and puzzling to know that if you are reduced into a quantum sized body then your position and momentum are not certain. If you are not aware of anything like this before then it surely puts your mind into the blank area where this statement raises numerous questions and some don't even agree with this.

But this statement is the foundation of the quantum theories which have remarkably and marvellously changed the entire world's thinking towards science.

It looks nonsensical to say that you are present everywhere in a probable region and your position is uncertain till someone measures it at a certain time. But it is true no matter what we think.

The statement says that we cannot know both the position and momentum of a subatomic particle simultaneously.

This theory says that the change in momentum times the change in position is always greater than or equal to planks constant times 1/4(pi).

This principle also holds true for conjugate pairs of physical quantities such as Energy and time and also angular momentum and angle.

This principle stands as the base for the whole quantum physics thus this fundamental theory is very important to understand the more complicated theories.

    Hey just read almost all the blogs.
    Some constructive critisism might help, there isn't any absolute new information apart from books which might help reader understanding better.
    The only thing different from books is that you have more emphasis on cherishing the topic rather explaining more .


    Try using more common words to make reader understand better since the title itself is "understanding physics"

    Try analogies to explain better

    Ik these are really complex topics that you have chosen
    And analogies may back fire.
    But since you have chosen these complex topics , there is not much credit in using bookish language since blogs are always read to understand in simple words.

    Please do consider sharing your views and what do you feel about the topic.

    I'd like to add few great words said by the legends and i think you knew them already.

    1.if you explain something to someone it ought to be so simple that a kid should be able to understand it.
    2. The reader should feel it so simple that he must be thinking that he could have written the theory himself.

    These are the golden rules you must consider while writing.

    As of now your blogs only have the points only to just know the theory. But you might know this already too that even a fool will know but the point is to understand.

    For your blogs to fall into light you must have some unique things to stand out.

    The topics you have chosen are too complex that even you might be lacking complete knowledge and might always back fire
    Consider explaining simple topics too.

    I don't think you fully understand the topics well enough to explain it to a kid like me.

    Incase you think what i have told is rubbish please consider reading again.

    Please ignore grammatical/language errors if any.

    Incase you are wondering who am i, This might be very tough for you find out . I randomly found your ig and read it.

    Wishing you goodluck and have a nice day :)

What is the most easiest way to understand the interaction of subatomic particles?

The easiest way to represent and understand the interaction of subatomic particles is by using Feynman Diagrams. In theoretical physics, this method is used as a pictorial representation of the mathematical expressions of the behaviour of subatomic particles. This method was given by one of the famous scientist and lecturer  Richard Phillips  Feynman.   These diagrams are used to calculate the most difficult equations using diagrams. For example collision of two electrons: When two electrons collide they interact with each other and scatter apart. The interaction happens as follows: When two electrons are brought together they repel each other and move apart. This repulsion takes place due to the exchange of the gauge bosons. Gauge boson exchange is otherwise known as the exchange of particle or information. These are virtual particles. Here photons are the exchange particle involved. The photon released from one particle hits another electron and changes...

IS GRAVITATIONAL FORCE FICTITIOUS IN REALTY ?

Mr.Albert Einstein , one of the brilliant minds of the world, published the general theory of relativity in 1915. He gave a very different approach to the idea of gravity. The theory says that there is no such thing as gravitational force. Yes, the theory really proposed it. Then what causes this attraction? Its the metric of the space around it. The change in metric causes the objects to fall towards the heavier object. Here metric describes how an object moves in the space. The analogy is the space-time wrap is assumed to be a stiff cloth and the mass as balls. Now if we place the heavier ball, the cloth bends down due to its mass. If we leave a lighter ball into the cloth, the ball starts to orbit around the heavier massed ball as shown in the image below.     So when you drop something it doesn't fall due to any force of attraction but due to its natural motion of accelerating downwards towards the centre of the curved space-time of the E...

CHARACTERISTICS OF LASER

LASERs play a very vital role in many fields and industries. What makes it so special? It's characteristics. Lasers have: 1.High directionality 2.High monochromaticity 3.A high degree of coherence 4.High brightness So let's understand each one in detail. 1. High directionality: The lasers are made of active medium placed in between two reflecting resonator mirrors one which can partially reflect and the other which can fully reflect the light. Any photon travelling in a direction away from the cavity axis reflects away by the mirrors within a few reflections and is thus not allowed to propagate further, thus the beam drawn from the output mirror is highly parallel and directional. The degree of directionality is expressed as the divergence .  Minimum spot point:  The curvature of the mirror confines the light within the cavity and causes the beam to narrow down to a radius w o    and this is called a minimum spot point. The ...
