Can There Be a Successful Theory of Quantum Gravity?
The fact that almost all fundamental forces of nature have a quantum formulation may imply that we can have quantum gravity, too. However, it can be simply otherwise. […]

Traditional Quantum Mechanics Vs. Second Quantization
The traditional quantum mechanics found its more modernized version in the second quantum revolution. While it introduced newer concepts like virtual photons, it did heavily rely on the traditional Heisenberg principle of uncertainty. […]

What Is Magnetic Moment?
At a scientific conference, it was discussed that the magnetic moment of the electron could be measured with much accuracy and precision. The later findings about the anomalous magnetic moment further served to prove the presence of virtual particles around subatomic particles. […]

The Casimir Effect: Proof of Zero Point Energy and Virtual Particles
Everywhere in the universe, there are virtual particles appearing and disappearing constantly. Hendrik Casimir proposed an experiment to validate the claim. […]

What Is Dark Energy?
Scientists have pointed out the presence of the mysterious repulsive gravity called dark energy that makes up for about 70% of the universe. This dark energy can increase or decrease over time, significantly affecting the expansion of the universe. […]

What Was Einstein’s Cosmological Constant?
Einstein’s theory of general relativity brought into focus the static and unchanging nature of the universe. However, on realizing his folly, he later added another term to the same equation, only to call it a blunder and remove it eventually. […]

What the Supernova Cosmology Project Observed
Measuring the expansion of the universe and the cosmic distances has never been possible with single telescopes. When the Supernova Cosmology Project took off, it came up with some unexpected findings and observations about the universe. […]

Some Experiments and Ideas for Studying Dark Matter
Many ideas like axions and sterile neutrinos were proposed, and many experiments like DAMA and LUX have been designed to understand dark matter. Yet, scientists still don’t know what exactly dark matter is. […]

The Three Approaches for Detecting Dark Matter
Looking for mysterious dark matter requires a lot of studies and using some detection techniques, including direct and indirect detection, as well as using particle accelerators. […]

The Nature of Dark Matter and Theories about It
Physicists have used three experimental approaches to search for dark matter in which the interaction of dark matter with ordinary matter is assumed. […]
