Miss Hello World.
I want to understand – the universe, the world, me. What’s it all about?
Time is sometimes late. Did you know that? It depends on our perspective. In a way, we all experience this in our daily lives. Don’t you sometimes look at your clock, thinking an hour passed, only to see that a few hours passed instead?
Exploring the Universe
Is Reality an Illusion?
Since ancient times, this has been a puzzling question. How real is our reality? “Dreaming of a Butterfly” poses an interesting perspective. It’s a story about a man, Zhuang Zhou, who dreamt he was a butterfly.
Spooky Action at a Distance
Can you think of a bond that is so strong, that nothing can break it? Even long distance? It’s of course, love! A power that connects us in ways we can’t always explain. When we love each other, we affect each other. No matter the geographical distance between us. We are entangled!
God Does Not Play Dice with the Universe
Can the universe be governed just by probabilities? According to Einstein, no. As he famously stated "God does not play dice with the universe". Are you wondering how come he said that? Well, this is an interesting story! It starts almost 100 years ago
Many Worlds Interpretation
Have you ever thought “what if”? About choices you made, or chances you missed, or dreams you left behind? What if I told you that all your dreams do come true, and every “what if” finds its answer, in another universe?
Schrödinger's Cat
This is a hypothetical cat sitting in a hypothetical box, for a thought experiment, designed by Erwin Schrödinger in 1935. Inside this box, there's a cat, a radioactive atom, a Geiger counter, a vial of poison, and a hammer.
The Uncertainty Principle
In the quantum world, the more you know, the less certain you can be! This is what this principle is all about.Proposed by Werner Karl Heisenberg in 1927, it states that we cannot determine both the position (x) and momentum (p) of a particle simultaneously.
Nuclear Force
We already know that the strong nuclear force binds quarks together within nucleons (such as protons and neutrons). And we know that the strong force is only experienced by subatomic particles that carry a color charge, and that protons and neutrons have no net color charge.
Attractive Strong Force
The strong nuclear force (or strong interaction) keeps quarks and gluons always confined inside the subatomic particles they compose, such as protons and neutrons.This attractive force is the **strongest** of the four fundamental forces of nature.
E=mc^2 Explained
In 1905, Albert Einstein presented a groundbreaking idea to the scientific world: energy (E) and mass (m) are interchangeable. They are both different manifestations of the same thing and can convert into each other. This concept was quite revolutionary at that time.
What is a Quark?
Quarks are fundamental particles that are the building blocks of protons and neutrons. They are considered point-like or zero-dimensional entities, meaning they have no size or structure that we can (currently) measure.
What is an Atom?
In simple words, an atom is a particle that consists of a nucleus surrounded by electrons that occupy atomic orbitals. Well, not so “simple”, for me at least! If you are wondering why I am writing about it, it’s because I want to understand – the universe, the world, me.
About Miss Hello World
The fundamental questions of our existence and purpose are extensively discussed in law, philosophy, and psychology. But I always keep finding a dead end when trying to find my answers.
