Hieee!!!
The trouble with blogs is that they show your latest entry first which sorts of turns the thing topsy-turvy. Anyway let it be the way it is.
So I promised to tell you sumthing really amazing last time.Hmm.. The thing is that I recently got a gr8888 book on latest physics precisely “The String Theory”.It is called “ The Elegant Universe” and it is by Brian Greene. This one book promises to change the entire way we look at the Universe.
The basic thing about String Theory is that it says that you have a lower limit on how much you can keep dividing a thing. This fundamental unit of length is the length of one string which turns out to be precisely equal to the Planck constant i.e. 6.634* 10 –34 m.Is not that amazing??
But the basic intuitive flaw that arises is that we can’t comprehend that there can be a lower limit at all. After all you can cut an apple into half and then its half and then its half and on and on upto infinity…
The explanation to some extent can be found in an old Chinese problem. Suppose you want to go from point A to B.You decide to go half the distance first .Then you again cover half the distance left that is you have gone ¾ distance now. So you go on going by half distances everytime and eventually u find out that you can never get to your destination at all as always some distance will be left!!!!!!!!!! So going by this argument how can you even go ½ the initial distance anyway??? So does that mean that you can’t move at all? But people move all the time!! So where is the damn flaw??
The argument vanishes if you assume that you can’t go ½ the distance of a string. Well this is a bit like killing the whole issue by saying that Mother Nature just does not allow you to go beyond the string ? Why though? As to that nobody has a satisfactory explanation.
Still making this simple assumption has far reaching effects .One of the greatest successes of String Theory has been the explanation provided by it on the merger of Relativity and Quantum Mechanics on sub-plank scales. Also it beautifully incorporates the presence of particles like gravitons which are responsible for the force of gravity.
Have you ever thought how it would be like to have a multi-dimensional world???Can u even grasp the meaning of having another dimension? It really defies all imagination!!
So meanwhile ponder on the amazing creativity of this thought and not to forget keep watching out for my blog!!Adieu!!

hey ...mujhe bhi woh book chahiye...kab dena hai??????:D
Hey !!
THnx for commentin on my blog !!
Just chckd it out ..
Nice lil blog u hav here ..
luvd the posts ... esp the string theory wala ... keep bloggin :D
kafi acha likha hai... comments bhi hain kuch but tumhare jitna enthu nahi hai ki poora abhi likhun... kabhi aise hi bata doonga... my views on multi dimension world/universe....
I'm the kind of hombre who enjoys to seek original stuff. Right now I'm manufacturing my personalized photovoltaic panels. I am making it all alone without the aid of my staff. I'm utilizing the net as the only way to acheive this. I saw a very brilliant site that explains how to contruct solar panels and wind generators. The web site explains all the steps needed for solar panel construction.
I'm not exactly sure about how accurate the information given there iz. If some people over here who have experience with these things can have a look and give your feedback in the thread it would be great and I'd extremely value it, cause I extremely like solar panel construction.
Tnx for reading this. U guys rock.
