Fundamental Particles Fundamental particles are the elementary entities from which all matter is made. They have no known smaller parts. As recently as 1900 most people believed that atoms were the tiniest particles in the universe. By the 1930s, however, it was clear that atoms were made up of even smaller particles—protons, neutrons, and electrons, then considered to be the fundamental particles of matter. (A proton is a positively charged particle that weighs about one atomic mass unit [1.0073 AMU]; a neutron has about the same mass [1.0087 AMU] but no charge; and an electron has a much smaller mass [0.0005 AMU] and a negative charge.) Protons and neutrons make up the tiny nucleus of an atom, while electrons exist outside the atomic nucleus in discrete energy levels within an electron "cloud." By 1970 it began to appear that matter might contain even smaller particles, an idea suggested in 1963 by American physicist Murray Gell-Mann (who called the particles  ...

What is a barycenter? Tweet We say that planets orbit stars, but that’s not the whole truth. Planets and stars actually orbit around their common center of mass. This common center of mass is called the   barycenter . Barycenters also help astronomers search for planets beyond our solar system! What is a center of mass? Every object has a  center of mass . It is the exact center of all the material an object is made of. An object's center of mass is the point at which it can be balanced. Sometimes the center of mass is directly in the center of an object. For example, you can easily find the center of mass of a ruler. Try holding your finger under the middle of a ruler in a few different spots. You'll find a spot where you can balance the whole ruler on just one fingertip. That's the ruler's center of mass. The center of mass is also called the center of gravity. But sometimes the center of mass is  not  in the center of t...

SINGULARITIES : IDENTIFY UNKNOWN

 Quantum gravity takes singularity out of black holes BY:- BALBEER SINGH DANU   Falling into a black hole may not be as final as it seems. Apply a quantum theory of gravity to these bizarre objects and the all-crushing singularity at their core disappears. In its place is something that looks a lot like an entry point to another universe . Most immediately, that could help resolve the nagging information loss paradox that dogs black holes. Though no human is likely to fall into a black hole anytime soon, imagining what would happen if they did is a great way to probe some of the biggest mysteries in the universe. Most recently this has led to something known as the black hole firewall paradox – but black holes have long been a source of cosmic puzzles. According to Albert Einstein’s theory of general relativity , if a black hole swallows you, your chances of survival are nil . You’ll first be torn apart by the black hole’s tidal fo...
