It is a huge misconception that curved space is the reason behind the gravitational force, people entirely forget that time is intricately woven into space and that it does play an important role in gravity. Read how TIME causes the force of gravity and not SPACE entirely.

We think of time as a long line, i.e. a sequence of past, present and future. But the recent advances in the field of Quantum Gravity makes us rethink time. Time is a strange and mysterious entity. But nowhere in the present equations of Quantum Gravity occurs time as a variable.

General relativity is an elegant theory. The solutions to its equations are enthralling and bewitching. From singularities to wormholes it contains everything from zeroes to infinites. Experience how it feels to travel through a wormhole with a stunning video, and also learn about the maestro behind the artistry, the Reissner-Nordström Black Hole.

As we already know that stars die, but as they do so, they leave behind remnants, usually compact objects of some sort, like a white dwarf, neutron star or black hole. What kind of remnant it becomes depends on the initial mass of the star.

Black holes are the most intriguing bodies in the vast universe. When we think we know all about them, they come up with another paradox that topples our understanding. Read about why a black hole is not really black but it indeed emits some radiation.

Physics is a very broad region of science, covering everything from the motion of planets and galaxies to the motion of planets and galaxies to the motion of an electron in a cloud chamber. Every now and then we encounter new theories which try to explain what we call “Reality”
