Statistical Mechanics : The physics of how systems work

Statistical Mechanics

INTRODUCTION All around us, we see different laws and different forces of nature at work. Riding a bicycle, cooking your favorite dish, boiling water to the emission of electrons or radiation of a black hole, everything is physics. While we often discuss how magnificent Einstein’s relativity theory is, or how elegantly we can get precise … Read more

Does the measurement problem defy objective reality?

measurement problem

“There is nothing new to be discovered in physics now. All that remains is more and more precise measurement.” – Lord Kelvin Those were the good old times. Newton single-handedly took care of mechanics and discovered gravity. After that, James Clerk Maxwell gave a thorough description of the second fundamental force called, ‘Electromagnetism’. Everything we … Read more

Quantum Electrodynamics : A marriage between elegance and precision

astronomy

Once upon a time, scientists used to be in a dilemma about the nature of light. It started with a debate whether light is a matter or a wave and now we have the most precise theory which mankind has ever produced. An essential marriage between quantum mechanics and classical electromagnetism to create a theory … Read more
