(Mini Blogs) Where is Pluto right now...

The planet Pluto was dis covered by the Lowell Observatory on 18th February, 1930. In August 2006, Pluto was declared as a dwarf planet since and then we have not known much about it. The planet lies beyond Neptune's orbit in the Kuiper Belt and is also the largest object found there (and first!). The Kuiper Belt is filled with icy objects including other dwarf planets (Eris). Scientists also believe that there is another Neptune sized planet beyond Pluto but we will get to that later.


With its tiny body of 1/3rd water, the icy planet of Pluto is always between 4.4 billion kilometres and 7.5 billion kilometres away from our home planet.

Does GOD Really Exist ???

Image
People all over the world  have different opinions, thoughts, and beliefs about the existence of a Creator  or GOD . Different cultures and religions have different beliefs and perspective. Christianity and Islam believes in the existence of only one GOD who is the sole and divine creator of everything. According to Hinduism , there are 33 million God's. Jainism  believes that GOD is nothing but a liberated soul. Though we cannot say that which one is right, we can say that it is the belief of the people which gives rise to all the virtues we have. There have been mixed debates and just to be on the safe side we will not support one over the other. Instead, we are going to just discuss the topic in a rather intellectual way. If gravity were slightly more powerful, the Universe would collapse upon itself. On the other hand, if it were slightly less powerful, the Universe would fly apart and there would be no stars or planets. If the ratio of Electromagnetic force to the s...

ANTIMATTER: What Is It And Why Is It ??

Image
Anti-Matter is just the opposite of matter. A more specific definition will be that Anti-Matter  refers to the opposite of   subatomic particles . They are exactly similar to to all the subatomic particles but they have just the opposite charge. Anti-Matter consists of particles opposite to all the elementary particles including the Quarks , Muons, Tauon, neutrinos, and also electrons . For example,  Anti-Matter has positively charged electrons known as positron.                                     Anti-Matter colliding with regular matter and annihilating  Anti-Matter annihilates when it comes into contact with regular matter and results in the formation of neutrally charged Photons . Anti-matter was produced in September, 1996 at CERN where it was produced by colliding antiprotons with Xenon atoms over a period of three weeks  but these antimatter quickly annihilated. Ti...

NEUTRINO: How Can This Ghost Particle Change The Way You Look At The Universe....

Image
 Neutrinos are tiny, almost massless particles that make up the entire universe. They are created by various like nuclear reactions like those taking place at the core of a star. They are also produced in our body by the radioactive decay of potassium. It is believed that they had been formed even before the creation of atoms. Neutrinos are elemetary paricles and cannot be subdivided and they travel at lightspeeds. Though they are in an abundance throughout the universe and millions of them are passing through you right now, they are very difficult to detect since neutrinos do not have any charge and are almost massless and they do not interact with any matter easily. Since they do not have any charge they are not affected by magnetic and electrical fields. However they are influenced by gravity. BUT WHY DO THEY MATTER... Neutrinos do not seem to forget their origin and so their detection can help us understand and examine the universe more closely than ever and can even change th...
