Today we have discovered exoplanets thousands of light years away from earth. We have explored the depths of the ocean and conquered the highest peaks. We study Quantum Physics and build quantum computers but for some reason we still don’t know about these strange lights in the night sky. There are lights that regularly appear near the town of Marfa in West Texas, they are about the size of basketballs, suddenly appearing out of nowhere at night . The existence of these lights is not a legend but a fact that has been confirmed by scientists. But they still need to explain its nature. Bright spots frequently…

You may have come across the phrase “relativity” or “general theory of relativity” in physics. So what is general relativity? Let’s find the easiest way to understand this concept. The general theory of relativity (or in short, the theory of relativity) is a “building block”, a basic element that creates modern physics. This theory explains gravity (or gravity) in terms of the way space can bend, or more precisely, it links gravity to the changing shape of space-time. Illustration of objects with mass that can bend space-time. (Photo: PashaIgnatov/iStock). History of general relativity Scientist Albert Einstein proposed this “general” theory in 1915, a decade after he proposed…
The custom of many countries during Christmas is to always encourage children to do good deeds so they can receive gifts from Santa Claus.

New research from China shows that the Earth is not a stable sphere but has a distorted inner core that continuously wobbles . According to Science Alert, work based on strange variations in measurements from Earth’s surface has revealed puzzling, periodic fluctuations deep within the planet. Since then, a team led by two geologists Yachong An and Hao Ding from Wuhan University (China) has determined that the Earth’s inner core is actually not at rest but oscillates with a period of 8. 5 years. The “heart” of the Earth has just revealed a mysterious wobble with a cycle of 8.5 years – (Illustration). This…
