Interstellar Travel - Is it possible?

Universe has always been a topic of huge interest. And why shouldn’t it be. It has brightest stars and spinning galaxies. Bright supernovas, dusty nebula, mysterious black holes and the list goes on. There are some things which are not even discovered yet. One’s lifetime is not enough to study and understand them. Many scientists have dedicated their lives for it. They make theories on how life would be in far part of the universe. Or even in the neighboring galaxy. Or could life even exist in other galaxies. Human technology is not that advanced YET to figure these things out. So unfortunately, such theories just remain theories. This makes us wonder; wouldn’t it be cool to just travel all the way from our galaxy to the nearby galaxy and see for ourselves? Travelling from one galaxy to another like the Guardians of the Galaxy and visiting different planets, meeting different beings, knowing their way of life! Who knows, we might bump into Thanos and punch him in fac...

Einstein's General Relativity Confirmed!

Black holes have always been an interesting subject of conversation among the space enthusiastic. And if you have been following this blog from the very beginning, you will know that I’ve already written four blogs just about black holes and researches related to black holes. So this is yet another blog about black holes because-there aren’t just enough! So this blog is about how the latest research on black hole proved Einstein’s general theory of relativity! For the first time, astronomers have confirmed Einstein’s century old theory by observing action near black hole.   Using the European Southern Observatory’s Very Large Telescope (VLT) in Chile, an international team of professional sky-gazers watched as a star swung by the super massive black hole at the center of the Milky Way Galaxy, and observed the effect the black hole’s extreme gravitational field had on the star’s motion.   By accurately tracing the position and speed of this single star, known as S2...

Worm Hole

Wormhole is hypothesized or theoretical tunnel between two points in the universe. It is supposed to act as a shortcut between the two points. The idea of wormhole was put forth by Albert Einstein and Nathan Rosen in the year 1935. They used the theory of general relativity to propose these tunnels. According to these physicists, wormholes act as bridges through space-time. Wormholes are considered as consistent connections with general theory of relativity, yet there existence remains hypothetical.   The wormhole can connect two long distances points (like a billion light years away) or can connect two short distances (few meters apart). CREATION OF WORMHOLE: Like mentioned earlier, the existence of wormhole is still hypothetical. But if there is even a slightest possibility of its existence, then we would like to know how it was created. Many science fiction movies like Interstellar have shown the existence of wormholes, which opens a pathway to distant galaxies. S...
