ABOUT STEPHEN HAWKING
Stephen Hawking was one of the most renowned theoretical physicists of the 20th and 21st centuries. His groundbreaking contributions to our understanding of the universe have impacted cosmology, general relativity, and quantum mechanics. Hawking’s contributions to cosmology and theoretical physics have reshaped our understanding of the universe. His work on black holes, the nature of time, and the origins of the cosmos remain foundational to modern physics, and his ability to overcome the challenges posed by ALS while making groundbreaking discoveries has made him one of the most remarkable and influential scientists in history.
Hawking's work also extended to understanding the nature of time, space, and the universe's origins. He investigated the beginning of time, the possibility of time having no boundaries, and the potential for multiple universes. His ideas on the multiverse, the possibility that our universe may be just one of many, have sparked both interest and controversy in theoretical physics. His legacy continues to inspire countless individuals across the world.

WHY IS THE SKY BLUE?
Theory of Relativity | |
WHY IS THE SKY BLUE?
The sky appears blue because of a phenomenon called Rayleigh scattering. Here's how it works:
Sunlight and Colors: Sunlight, or white light, is made up of all colors of the visible spectrum (red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet).
Atmosphere and Scattering: As sunlight enters Earth's atmosphere, it interacts with air molecules, water vapor, and tiny particles. These interactions scatter the light in different directions.
Why Blue?: Shorter wavelengths of light (blue and violet) are scattered more than longer wavelengths (red and yellow) because they are closer in size to the molecules in the air.
Why Not Violet?: Even though violet light is scattered more than blue, our eyes are more sensitive to blue light, and some violet is absorbed by the upper atmosphere. This makes blue the dominant color we see.
So, the sky looks blue because blue light is scattered in all directions by the air in Earth's atmosphere, and our eyes perceive it more prominently.

WHY DO WE HAVE THUNDER?
Thunder occurs as a result of the intense heat generated by a lightning bolt. Here's the process:
Lightning Heats the Air: A lightning bolt heats the surrounding air to temperatures as high as 30,000 Kelvin (53,540°F), which is much hotter than the surface of the Sun.
Air Expansion: This intense heat causes the air to expand explosively in a fraction of a second. The rapid expansion creates a shock wave.
Sound Wave Formation: As the shock wave moves outward, it transitions into a sound wave that we hear as thunder.
Different Sounds of Thunder:
- A sharp crack or bang occurs if you're close to the lightning strike because you hear the sound of the shock wave directly.
- A rumble occurs when you're farther away, as the sound waves bounce off objects like buildings, mountains, or the ground, and reach you at different times.
Essentially, thunder is the sound produced by the sudden expansion of air around a lightning bolt. It’s a powerful reminder of the immense energy in a thunderstorm!.

What is an atom?
An atom is the basic unit of matter and the defining structure of elements. It is the smallest particle of an element that retains the chemical properties of that element. Atoms are composed of three main types of subatomic particles:
- Protons: Positively charged particles located in the nucleus (center) of the atom.
- Neutrons: Neutral particles (no charge) also located in the nucleus.
- Electrons: Negatively charged particles that orbit the nucleus in regions called electron clouds or shells.
Key Features of an Atom:
- Nucleus: The dense central part of the atom containing protons and neutrons. It accounts for most of the atom's mass.
- Electron Cloud: The area surrounding the nucleus where electrons are likely to be found. This region determines the size and shape of the atom.
- Atomic Number: The number of protons in the nucleus, which uniquely identifies an element (e.g., hydrogen has 1 proton, carbon has 6).
- Atomic Mass: The total number of protons and neutrons in an atom.
Atoms can bond together to form molecules, which make up the various substances in the universe. Despite their tiny size, atoms are incredibly complex and form the foundation of all matter.
