TIME TRAVEL: IS IT POSSIBLE FOR HUMAN BEINGS TO DO TIME TRAVEL AT THE SPEED OF LIGHT?

-

    Is it really possible for human beings to do time travel at the speed of light? This is a very mysterious question for all the scientists and physicists till today.

    During our childhood, we were really amazed and wondered how Superman could travel faster than a bullet speed. We could even see him, chasing down a thief at a speed of a bullet or a projectile fired from a weapon, his right arm would be outstretched and his cape rippling behind him. Imagine if he traveled at half the bullet's speed, the rate at the speed at which the bullet moved away from him would be halved. If he did indeed travel faster than the speed of a bullet, then he would definitely overtake it and lead the way. In other words, Superman's aerial antics have obeyed Newton's views of space and time: that the positions and motions of objects in space should all be measured relative to an absolute, non-moving frame of reference.

    During the beginning of the 20th century, all the scientists held firm to the Newtonian approach and its view of the world. Then a German-born mathematician and physicist namely Albert Einstein came along and changed everything. In 1905, Albert Einstein published his theory of special relativity, which put forth a wonderful startling idea: There is no preferred frame of reference. Everything, even time, is relative. Two important principles have underpinned his theory. The first stated that all the same laws of physics apply equally in all constantly moving frames of reference. The second said that the speed of light which is about 186,000 miles per second (300,000 kilometers per second) is constant and independent of the observer's motion or the source of light.

    According to Albert Einstein, if Superman were to chase a light beam at half the speed of light, the beam would continue to move away from him at exactly the same speed. As an object approaches the speed of light, its mass rises precipitously. If an object tries to travel at the speed of light which is 186,000 miles per second, its mass becomes infinite, and so does the energy required to move it. For this reason, no normal object can travel as fast or faster than the speed of light. So, it's highly impossible for normal matter to travel at the speed of light and due to this reason, it's actually impossible for time travel may it be traveling into the past or future. This is a very interesting topic in the world of space physics.

    It will be very amazing if we travel at the speed of light. But it not possible for us to travel at the speed of right.The topic chosen is quite interesting. Keep it up.

MOST OUTSTANDING APPLICATIONS OF RAMAN SPECTROSCOPY

    Raman spectroscopy is named after its discoverer ‘Sir Chandrasekhara Venkata Raman’, the great Indian physicist who discovered it in the year 1928. Later on, Sir C.V. Raman received the most prestigious award, the Nobel prize in Physics in the year 1930 for his great discovery of Raman effect . In fact, Sir C.V. Raman was the first Asian to be awarded a  Nobel Prize in all fields of science “for his work on the scattering of light and for the discovery of the Raman effect named after him in 1930.”  He was the second Indian Nobel Laureate but the first Indian scientist to win Nobel prize.  Raman spectroscopy is a Chemical analysis technique that provides detailed information about the molecular structure without causing any physical and chemical changes. It studies the vibrational modes along with translational and rotational modes of the molecule.      Raman spectroscopy works on the principle of Raman scattering. When a monochromatic radiation incident on the sample, the radiatio

DOES THE COSMIC IONIZATION RADIATION EFFECT AIRCRAFTS, AIRCREW, PASSENGERS IN FLIGHTS?

    We are protected from cosmic radiation by Earth’s magnetic field and atmosphere. At higher altitudes in an airplane and particularly when closer to the North and South poles, this protection is less. During a commercial flight, cosmic radiation is several times higher than on the ground thus it increases the high rate of health risks.  Cosmic radiation comes from the sun and outer space and this c osmic radiation makes up about 1/6th of our  exposure to natural radiation.      E veryone, everywhere, is exposed to all kinds radiation like terrestrial radiation, cosmic radiation, man-made radiation and industrial uses like nuclear radiation. Terrestrial  radiation  comes from the Earth: everything is naturally radioactive, including rock, soil, water, air, animals, plants, and food. Its a natural part of the environment in which we live.   The average dose  from terrestrial radiation is 2 mSv(millisieverts) per year. More than half of this is from radon in your home.  People are also

THE JAMES WEBB SPACE TELESCOPE: A TRUE ENGINEERING MARVEL

         The  James Webb Space Telescope is the largest and the most powerful space telescope ever built till today.  The interesting fact is that James Webb telescope is very big and its as tall as a 3-story building and as long as a tennis court! It is so big that it has to fold origami-style to fit inside the rocket to launch.  The James Webb Telescope sees the universe in light that is invisible to human eyes. This light is called as   infrared radiation , and we can actually feel it as just heat. The James Webb Space Telescope uses its infrared cameras to see through cosmic dust in our universe. Stars and planets form inside those cosmic dusty clouds, so peeking inside could possibly lead to exciting new discoveries! It will also be able to see objects (like the first galaxies) that are so far away that the expansion of the universe has made their light shift from visible to infrared! Even more interesting fact is that mirrors of this telescope have a thin layer of gold coating th
