An Eat-or-Be-Eaten Cosmos- Dr. Piccioni.
Gravity enables life. In a very sparse cosmos, gravity gathers enough matter to form stars and planets. It squeezes stars until they burst with the energy that supports life and the atoms from which planets and people are made.But gravity also destroys its own creations. Astronomers often witness stars and planets being eaten by bigger … Continue reading
Arduino <3
Most of the students whom I’ve met in India, especially those who’re pursuing engineering have no idea what Arduino is, and what it does so here I’ve shared a introduction to Arduino from ‘arduino.cc’. There are also some videos of Arduino projects which I’ve shared, do watch them. What is Arduino? Arduino is basically a … Continue reading
Discovering life and creating species.
— An article on the emerging field of synthetic biology and genetically modified organisms. Research, I believe, has two facets – discovery and invention. A discovery of facts and the phenomena behind it often leads researchers to create articles/ ideas, either by applying the principles of the naturally occurring phenomena or by developing new principles … Continue reading

The Higgs Field – Stephen Hawking is Right or Wrong?
– Much of physics is far too complicated for the ‘normal’ person to understand – but explained in the correct way it can all be understood. – Empty space is not empty – it is filled with something that is similar in a way to the force experienced in transparent water. – A large object will resist water … Continue reading
Unlimited Bandwidth- I’m not Joking!
Unlimited Bandwidth Where we learn that current communication is inadequate for our forthcoming ambitions, and we do not at present have a suitable alternative for the future. We look at precisely what governs the speed of communication, and exactly how slow it is throughout the Universe. We take a glimpse at the evolution of communication. … Continue reading
The naive piglet from Three Little Pigs was not the only one who built a straw house.
Diverting from the highly intriguing earlier posts, here’s something simpler for your grey cells. An extremely simple suggestion. A suggestion to make your home more comfortable and your pocket, too. With temperatures soaring higher than 50°C and plunging lower than -10°C at most places in India, it’s time we switched from those sophisticated glass houses … Continue reading
Stephen Hawking at 70: Exclusive interview by NewScientist
“Throughout the 1970s I had been working mainly on black holes. However, in 1981 my intrest in origin of universe was reawakened when I attended conference on cosmology in Vatican. The Catholic church had made a bad mistake with Galileo when it tried to lay down the law on a question of science, declaring that … Continue reading
