The asteroid that killed Dinosaurs hit at the worst possible angle

According to new research, the flaming space rock that slammed into Earth and wiped out the dinosaurs struck at the worst possible angle (for the dinosaurs, that is). Under any circumstances, colliding with a massive, fast-moving cosmic projectile would have been disastrous. Researchers recently discovered that this massive space rock also struck the planet at a steep angle, resulting in the “deadliest possible” outcome by releasing far more gas and pulverized rock than it would have with a shallower approach...

The Big Bang has a lot of flaws!

We start with gravity, electromagnetism, and the weak and strong nuclear forces, which are the four basic forces. Next we see a quark-gluon plasma soup with quarks, leptons, and lepton antiparticles as the main constituents. Hadrons are permitted to develop as the soup cools, and baryons such as our common neutron and proton begin to arise. The soup-universe cools down enough for fusion to occur after 3 to 20 minutes of this scenario, resulting in a few light components...

The Aesthetic Beauty of Mathematics: Golden Ratio

Mathematics is beautiful because it’s able to interpret everything that the universe holds. And the golden ratio has added finesse to the world of mathematics. Hang on, before we start let’s know what golden ratio is. Golden ratio (φ) is `(1 + sqrt(5))/2` (1.61803398875...) which is obtained by dividing two successive Fibonacci numbers. The series of numbers formed by adding two numbers before them starting with 0 and 1 is called a Fibonacci sequence...

Are there a couple of universes?

Isn’t one vast, historic, and mysterious universe isn’t sufficient for you? Well, because it happens, there are others. Among physicists, it’s now no longer controversial. Our universe is, however, one in an unimaginably huge ocean of universes known as the multiverse. If that idea isn’t sufficient to get your head around, physics describes distinctive varieties of the multiverse. The simplest one to recognize is known as the cosmological multiverse...
