  Physics Tip


Viscosity
The property of a liquid that makes it resist flow or any change in the arrangement of its molecules. The higher the viscosity, the "thicker" a liquid seems.
 

  Physics Quote


It is impossible to trap modern physics into predicting anything with perfect determinism because it deals with probabilities from the outset.
    Sir Arthur Eddington (1882 - 1944)

Astronomy is a fascinating branch of science and physics. This is because astronomy involves the galaxies, cosmos and astrophysics, some things of life that we, common people, do not understand. And it is quite natural for human beings to have a fascination and curiosity for the unknown.

In cosmology, the steady state theory is a model developed in 1949 by Fred Hoyle, Thomas Gold and others as an alternative to the Big Bang theory. Although the model had a large number of supporters among cosmologists in the 1950s and 1960s, the number of supporters decreased markedly in the late 1960s and today it is considered a non-standard cosmology. It is also the basis for another theory known as the quasi-steady state theory which postulates a lot of little big bangs occurring over time.

Imagine an alien world where hydrocarbons reign (or ‘rain’) instead of water. More than mere speculation, such a place is believed to exist in our solar system. This world has been named Titan as it is by far the largest of Saturn’s 31 moons. Titan has been a long time curiosity to astronomers and now, finally, we are set to conduct some significant up-close explorations.

Black Holes have always ben a controversial affair among Theoretical Astrophysicists. Especially, the Thermodynamics of a Black Hole. It was considered that the entropy of a Black Hole is infinitely large until Stephen Hawking proved that Black Holes are not really Black. They infact Radiate and evaporate... How is this so? What are the laws of Thermodynamics governing this process? Read on...
