Quantum Physics, Mini Black Holes, and the Multiverse

Debunking Common Misconceptions in Theoretical Physics

Topics

Quantum Mechanics
Quantum Mechanics

Developed in the 1920's by great physicists Schrödinger, Pauli, Heisenberg, Bohr, Born,Fermi, Dirac and others, it describes the laws of nature for the subatomic world.


Relativity
Relativity

The Principles of Relativity along with Quantum Mechanics are the two most important achievements of the 20th century physics.



Cosmology
Cosmology

The standard models of cosmology -- the big bang theory without the inflationary theory -- had to suffer from the three problems, namely, the smoothness problem, the horizon problem, and the flatness problem.


String Theory
String Theory

The concept of string theory is one of the most popular concepts of the last 20 years in theoretical physics. Sometimes referred to as “a theory from the 21st century physics...


Nature of Space-Time
Nature of Space-Time

The classical Newtonian physics treated space and time as two separate entities and time was believed to be absolute. However, Einstein’s theories of relativity clarified that space and time are interconnected and that time has a shape and has only one direction.


Theory of Everything Image
Theory of Everything

The phrase "Theory of Everything" has been used in the scientific and semi-scientific community within the last 30 years. It usually refers to such a theory that formulates and unifies both quantum mechanics and the general theory of relativity.


Time Travel
Time Travel

One of the hottest topics in science fiction is time travel. The classic H.G. Wells story about time machine fascinated many generations of science fiction enthusiasts.
