Objects have physical properties, whereas ideas do not. Yet, if one were to believe the theory of dualism, these two fundamentally different entities interact with each other. How is that possible? […]
Are human beings made up of just matter and energy, just a collection of atoms? Is there any non-material entity that needs to be added to the equation to get to a more complete picture of reality? […]
The subject of genetics is huge, it studies the evolution of humans through parental traits and their relation with various species. Does the study also help in knowing how crossbreeding can result in a variety of different plants? […]
The huge mass of hydrogen and helium create significant magnetism in Jupiter. Apparently, the planet has enough pressure to create metal out of hydrogen! […]
Jupiter’s magnetosphere is one of the strongest forces in the solar system, without which the planets might fall apart. It can be regarded as the pillar of the solar system. […]
The biggest planet in the solar system is Jupiter, a gas giant 1331 times larger in volume than Earth, with hurricanes that last hundreds of years and interesting rings stretching across the planet. […]
Callisto is the fourth Galilean moon around Jupiter, whose composition depicts a unique formation process. The shock waves generated there do not have many consequences. Thus, something on this moon acts as a shock-absorber—something that cannot be seen, at least on the surface. […]
Europa and Ganymede are two of the 79 moons orbiting Jupiter. They were discovered years ago, and despite their numerous distinctions, they share one common aspect: water! One is unique in being the largest moon of the solar system, and the other takes pride in its possible potential of hosting life. […]
Io, the moon that attracts a lot of attention, is one of the four main moons of Jupiter. Io attracts attention as it is the most volcanically active body in the solar system. How can a moon be so volcanic when there are numerous bodies with ‘better’conditions for being so? […]
Even though astronomy would not have been where it is today without Johannes Kepler, he made considerable mistakes. His famous three laws were not built on a perfect foundation, and his first solar system model was pure nonsense. […]
