Hawking's Theory

All the brilliant minds have the habit of going with a bang. This is exactly what Prof. Stephen Hawking did when he passed away on March 14, 2018. The physicists died at the age of 76 and it seemed like the world stood still. Tributes flooded in for the greatest scientist of all time. Everybody was celebrating his work and achievements. But this wasn’t the end. The physicist left behind some more ground breaking theories in his residence at Cambridge that won him countless honors in the field of cosmology, general relativity, quantum gravity and black holes . However, one of his papers is yet to be published which will prove his greatest contribution in the field of Multi-verse.   According to reports, colleagues of Hawking have revealed the renowned theoretical physicist’s final academic work involved the theory explaining how humans could detect parallel universes .  In the paper, Hawking has given some ground breaking mathematics needed to find...

Tribute to Professor Stephen Hawking

STEPHEN HAWKING - the brightest and the loudest mind in the cosmos! The name itself gives inspiration and motivation to many. Unfortunately he is not with us anymore. At the age of 76, he passed away on 14 th March 2018. But he will not be forgotten. Below are just few reasons why. Stephen Hawking was born on 8 th January 1942, in Oxford. His father was a research biologist. They moved to London to escape from the German bombing at that time. Hawking grew up in London and eventually developed a huge interest in physics. He graduated from Oxford with a first-class degree in physics and then went to Cambridge for post-graduation in Cosmology. It was in Cambridge when he was diagnosed with rare motor neuron disease.   In 1964, his doctors gave him no more than 2-3 years. But the disease progressed slowly than expected. By 1988, Hawking was able to speak only through his voice synthesizer following a tracheotomy; he completed the famous book of all times- THE BRIEF HIS...

Parallel Universe

We have heard and seen many existence of other dimensions, in the science fictional stories and movies. But is it actually possible to have more dimensions apart from the already existing four dimensions? Many physicists believe this idea and call it “parallel universe”. Parallel universe is defined as hypothetical universes which exist just like the one in which we are currently living. It consists of everything- energy, time, space, matter- just like our present universe.   Collection of multiple parallel universes is called as “multiple universes” or “multiverse”. Concepts of multiverse are also evident in ancient Hindu cosmology. According to Hindu mythology, every universe has its own set of rules and is governed by its own god. Scientifically, it’s true. Every universe has its own sets of fundamental rules and is governed by it. How did the idea of parallel universe came into existence? Mostly from science fiction but there is a scientific theory beh...
