 CAN GOD FIT IN SCIENTIFIC STORY OF CREATION? LIKE A “GOD PARTICLE”??

BASICALLY, THIS BLOG IS ABOUT THE SO-CALLED TERM “GOD PARTICLE”. BUT WHAT EXACTLY IS THE GOD PARTICLE? DOES IT EXIST AROUND US OR IS MADE BY SOMEONE?      


WELL, GOD PARTICLE  IS ACTUALLY A “HIGGS BOSON PARTICLE”. IN FACT IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE TERM GOD. THEN WHY DO PEOPLE CALL IT AS GOD PARTICLE ? HENCE THE ANSWER IS A SILLY ONE.

IN 1993 WHEN THE AMERICAN PHYSICIST LEON LEDERMAN WAS WRITING A BOOK ABOUT A HIGGS BOSON PARTICLE HE EXAGGERATED  IT AS “THE GOD DAMN PARTICLE” AS THIS PARTICLE IS ACTUALLY MIND-BLOWING AND SURPRISING TOO. BUT AN EDITOR AS WELL AS PUBLISHERS DIDN’T  LET HIM PUBLISH THIS “GOD DAMN” WORD SO HE CHANGED IT INTO A “GOD PARTICLE”.


BUT IN FACT MANY SCIENTIST INCLUDING ‘PETER HIGGS’ HIMSELF, FROM WHOM THIS PARTICLE IS NAMED AFTER, DISLIKED THIS NAME. BUT I THINK IT'S NECESSARY TO KNOW THE EXACT REASON OF SOMETHING BEFORE YOU BELIEVE IN IT. SO I THOUGHT THIS TOPIC SHOULD BE EXPRESSED.

SO, MOVING BACK TO THIS GOD DAMN PARTICLE, THIS PARTICLE EXPLAINS HOW WE GOT OUR MASS IN OUR BODY OR HOW HUGE PLANETS GOT THEIR MASS FROM?



IMAGINE YOU ARE SLIDING OVER A HILL OF A SNOW. YOU ARE SET TO TAKE A SLIDE DOWN THE HILL. AND NOW YOU START MOVING DOWN, BUT WHEN YOU REACH AT THE END OF A HILL. YOU FOUND THAT YOU HAD SOME ICE IN YOUR BOOTS NOW, AND SO YOUR SOCKS ARE WET TOO. AS YOU WALK FURTHER, YOU START FEELING HEAVIER TO STEP FORWARD AS YOU APPARENTLY GET READY FOR YOUR MOMS SCOLDING.



EXACTLY LIKE THAT, JUST AFTER THE BIG BANG HAPPENED (THAT IS AFTER THE BIRTH OF OUR UNIVERSE) LOTS OF PHOTONS GOT RELEASED, WHEN THIS MASSLESS PARTICLE IN SPACE MOVED  FROM A PARTICULAR FIELD, IT CARRIES SOMETHING WITH IT THAT GIVES THAT PARTICLE SOME MASS AND THAT FIELD IS CALLED A HIGGS FIELD.




IMAGINE IF THIS FIELD DIDN’T EXISTED AFTER THE BIG BANG HAPPENED, WE WOULD NOT BE EXISTING TODAY AND NOT EVEN ANY OF THE PLANET OR A STAR OUT THERE IN SPACE.
THAT’S THE REASON ITS IMPORTANT TO KNOW MORE ABOUT IT IN ORDER TO KNOW THE WORKING OF THE UNIVERSE.

  WHAT IS TIME? FOR US TIME PLAYS AN IMPORTANT ROLE IN OUR DAILY LIVES. BUT DOES TIME EVEN EXIST? MANY SCIENTIST HAVE DEBATED OVER THIS TOPIC BY GIVING MANY THEORIES. THEORY OF RELATIVITY AND QUANTUM MACHANICS ARE BOTH AGAINST EACH OTHER WHICH HAVE THEIR INDIVIDUAL OPINION. TIME CAN BE THE FORTH DIMENSION. AS WE LIVE IN A 3D WORLD TIME IS USED TO PLOT OUR 3D EVENTS IN AN SPECIFIC ORDER. ON THE OTHER HAND I TOO BELIEVE THAT "TIME IS AN ILLUSION" . WE ARE NOT IN THE TICKING WORLD. IN FACT ITS OPPOSITE, JUST LIKE WATER IN THE UNIVERSE IS HAPPENING. IT ISN'T AN EVENT. IT IS A CONSTANT EVENT OR IN THE OTHER WORDS ITS EVENTING. WE ARE SIMPLY HAPPENING. TIME IS REAL WHEN WE CREATE IT IN OUR CONCIOUSNESS. OFCOURSE TIME GET SLOWER NEAR HEAVIER OBJECTS, AND FAST IN VACCUM. BUT STILL THE QUESTION REMAINS, WHAT IS EXACTLY TIME... IS IT JUST AN HYPOTHETICAL THINKING OF HUMANS? COMMENT DOWN YOUR OPINIONS IT WOULD GREAT TO LISTEN ABOUT IT FROM YOU.

ALL YOU GOTTA KNOW ABOUT CHANDRAYAAN-3 MISSION! After the unfortunate Chandrayaan-2 mission, ISRO is now ready to go off for another mission to the moon. India’s first mission to the moon was in 2008 called ‘Chandrayaan-1’. Among the countries including the Soviet Union, the United States, Japan, the European Space Agency, China, Luxembourg, Israel, Italy, South Korea, and the United Arab Emirates, INDIA is also one of them competing in the race. Chandrayaan 2 was launched on 22 July 2019. After it, this is the year.  Chandrayaan-3 is a follow-on mission to Chandrayaan-2 to perform end-to-end capability in safe landing and roving on the lunar surface.  It consists of Lander and Rover. well, It will be launched by LVM3 from SDSC SHAR, Sriharikota .  LANDER AND A ROVER OF CHANDRAYAAN-3 MISSION The propulsion module will carry the lander and rover configuration till the 100 km lunar orbit. The propulsion module also has a ‘Spectro-polarimetry of Habitable Planet Earth (SHAPE)’ payload tha

GAURI's BLOG: DARK MATTER

  What exactly is dark matter?  Our universe is made up of galaxies,stars, gases,planets, rocks, black holes, nebulae and many more celestial objects. And as we discussed earlier in the   BIG BANG BLOG  that our universe is expanding each day at a very high speed. This expansion has been started since our universe was born and it still goes on expanding in the dark empty space. In 1933, Fritz Zwick coined the term ‘dark matter’. When scientists wrote a mathematical equation about the universe, they found something that is still not known to humans, but most of the part is occupied by it. This entity was totally unknown but it was an important part of the universe to expand.(mathematically). In simple words, just consider A +B=C. Consider we know the value of a and c. but we don’t know what B is exactly. But if we remove B from the equation like this, A=C  then this won't make sense when the values are different. There must be something B to the equation to complete the e
