We all live in time, but remarkably time itself remains one of the most mysterious aspects to our existence. Not even Einstein’s fabulous theories of Relativity can help us deeply understand what time is, why it even exists, or why humans and all sentient life experience it the way they do. This...
Preamble Gaussian Curvature (Wikipedia)One of the core concepts in Physics is so called metric tensor. This object encodes any kind of geometry. Combined genius of Gauß, Riemann and their contemporaries lead to such a great idea, probably one of the achievements of human quantitative...
Jacob Bekenstein (Wikipedia) Preamble Thermodynamics of black holes has appeared as one of the most interesting areas of research in theoretical physics [Wald1994], specially after LIGO's massive success. The striking results of Jacob Bekenstein [Bekenstein1973] in proposing a formulation of...
In Einstein’s General Theory of Relativity, space and time are unified in a single entity called spacetime. This is the “stage” in which the laws of physics operate. In Einstein’s theory, the presence of mass and energy warps spacetime, and it is this curvature that affects objects in the way we...
