It’s night time. We’re all asleep. We enter a trans-dimensional state where we are in a world created by our own minds. We cannot help but watch the events unfold as we seemingly are in no control of what is happening in front of our eyes. It’s almost like we’re in another world. As of now, technological advancement has made this and even more possible to witness with our own physical eyes. It’s truly amazing! 📷: Johann Savalle What is Reality? If I can’t touch you, does that mean you aren’t real? That is not quite true. Reality means much more than just touching or sensing the tangibility of things all around us. When something is real, we communicate with it. This doesn’t mean necessarily touching or talking to it but it could also mean a wide variety of ways we could sense the object. If we could sense an object in any possible way, it is considered real. Hence even if we cannot physically see music or sound, so long as we can sense it through hearing, it is re...

When we talk about infinity  ∞ , we talk about the existence or something so large or so tiny, it's impossible to imagine. But ironically, we've done just that. Imagine you take a bag of salt and tried to count how many grains of salt there is in it, you'd say it's impossible because it feels so infinite. Well, that analogy hasn't even begun to scratch the surface of the concept that is infinity.  Infinity is imaginable yet so complex to understand. It took years before mathematicians could first understand what infinity is. It is not a number! It's is more like an abstraction . Some people define it as something that is so large and limitless. But that's not all true. You'll see why later on. We Have Infinities Are you a science enthusiast? If so, you'd have probably heard of a theory of multiple universes that makes up the multiverse. If not, click here . The theory that makes room for the possibility of a multiverse infers we...

Temperature, what is it? Is it heat? Or is it Cold? Well, it's both of them. From childhood, we learned that temperature is the degree of hotness or coldness of an object. This definition is still true. Well kind of. For a fact, the temperature isn't just a degree. It is actually the average energy of all the particles in a system and it's also related to the distribution of those energies in the system. You see, a change in temperature is basically a consequence of heat exchange. This results in a rise or fall in a body's hotness or coldness. So what does it mean when the temperature is said to be absolute? Absolute - Maximum If you're thinking it means 0 degrees Kelvin, you are slightly incorrect. That is just a point on the temperature scale. What it actually means is a point where we can go no further. This applies in both directions. So we have what is called Absolute Cold ( better known as absolute zero) and Absolute Hot....

Since the beginning of time, humans have had an insatiable desire to explore. Curiosity is one of our greatest strength and it is seemingly what's responsible for the immense and exponential technological advancement we see today. As we become more populated, we seek more resources and places to live in. The space program comes into play here. We've done all this on our little planet. Now imagine the things we could achieve with two planets at our disposal. The planned trip to Mars will most likely make that dream a reality. But wait, is it only Mars that exists in our solar system? Have you ever wondered why we chose Mars, our neighborhood planet, to live in? If so, let's find out why? First, on making a list of probable habitable planets and taking other celestial bodies into consideration we can narrow them down to just three: Venus, Mars,  and Titan ( Saturn's own moon). Let's break it down and see why Mars is the most logical. Venus: Alm...

From the incredibly tiny to the amazingly big, there has been quite a number of theories made to explain the behavior of matter in our world.  During Isaac Newton's time, he released a book titles "Principia" which accurately describes the motion of matter. It is usually referred to as Classical physics. This was used for decades to explain the behavior of matter on most scales and it's still implemented till today. Then come 1905, Albert Einstein, in his radical and creative mind discovered a new way to look at physics of motion. You see, Newton's classical physics describes motion with respect to only one frame of reference which remains constant in every situation but this didn't sound so logical to Einstein so he decided to think outside of the box and what he got from doing that was Special relativity. Now unlike classical physics, special relativity takes into consideration the various frames of references with respect to the observer...
