them” (Physics.org‚ 2016) Physicist working in the astronomy field are constantly making new and exciting discoveries to do with the universe. Discoveries in fields such as quantum physics‚ particle theory‚ cosmology‚ quantum mechanics and general relativity allow us to better our knowledge about the phenomena which has been observed for centuries and has pondered the minds of physicists such as Einstein‚ Feynman and Higgs. These physicists‚ and many since have been asking questions such as: •

do they form? Why are they invisible? “A black hole is a region of spacetime exhibiting such strong gravitational effects that nothing—including particles and electromagnetic radiation such as light—can escape from inside it. The theory of general relativity predicts that a sufficiently compact mass can deform spacetime to form a black hole.” (Source 1) The collapsing or dying of a star causes the strength of gravity to be so strong that light can’t even escape the black hole. Because no energy

first disproves Newton’s theory of relativity‚ stating that space and time are not absolute. Next‚ Einstein creates the quantum theory of light discovering that light exists in particle forms. Shortly after‚ he published two papers. One determined a method of measuring atom size and quantity‚ the other explaining the movement of atoms known as Brownian motion. The two papers gave proof to the atom’s existence. In June of that year he completed Special Relativity which stated that light may not be

Albert Einstein was a German-born theoretical physicist on March 14‚ 1879 in the southern German city of Ulm.Einstein developed the general theory of relativity‚Albert Einstein grew up in a middle-class Jewish family in Munich. As a child‚ Einstein became fascinated by music ‚mathematics and science.He was one of the two pillars of modern physics. He received the 1921 Nobel Prize in Physics for his services to theoretical physics‚ and especially for his discovery of the law of the photoelectric effect

In our lives we’ve all looked into the night’s sky and admired its beauty. But those stars that dot the skies are moving‚ most of them rapidly away from us. In Chapter 3 of A Brief History of Time‚ Hawking describes the beginning of our universe‚ otherwise known as the big bang‚ and how our universe is expanding. In Chapter 4‚ Hawking explains the dismissal of the idea that future events can be predicted because of the belief that the universe was completely deterministic. As I read chapters 3 and

On the Electrodynamics of Moving Bodies ‚ which proposes a new theory on the relationship between time and space. This paper served as the foundation for the theory of relativity. The contemporary physics revolution‚ based on the theory of relativity and quantum theory‚ has led science into a new era. Starting from this‚ human exploration has extended to the boundless

Universe and Inverse are closely related‚ for the effects of known forces of universe are inverse in nature. Ever since Newton made a bold proposition that there is a force of attraction amongst the planets of planetary system‚ amongst different planetary systems and amongst the different galaxies and varies as Inverse Square of their distances‚ people began to correlate every activities of nature and predict its effect accurately. 1.
