Moon’s gravitational force is the reason behind high and low tides. However, this is not the only effect. The Earth’s rotational speed is also regulated by the Moon’s gravity, even though it is smaller than Earth and has a much weaker gravity. […]
Evidence shows that the Moon was formed a little while after the Earth (50 million years is not that long in solar system scale), but from similar material and even with the same isotope signature. Their future, however, might bring some new occurrences in the Earth-Moon system that we might not like. […]
Without the magnetosphere, the Earth’s atmosphere would have been destroyed by the solar wind long ago. It stretches way beyond satellites’ reach, and is affected both by the Earth and the Sun. It protects humans, living on both Earth and in space, from the high-energy particles. […]
The great intellectuals like Descartes and Newton gave us theories that combined different areas of knowledge. These theories later helped the scientists like Maxwell to give us a unified picture of reality. […]
The turn of the 21st century led to a series of scientific breakthroughs, including the discovery of dark energy, the mysterious energy which drives the speeding expansion of the universe. Read on to find more. […]
Read about the Inflationary theory, which solved the loopholes in the Big Bang theory, and ultimately also led to the discovery of the existence of dark matter. […]
Read about the Big Bang theory, one of the pioneering breakthroughs in the world of cosmology, which opened the doors for countless applications, and went on to explicate the origin of the universe. […]
There are many misconceptions, people have about science. However science is ever evolving subject based on observations, exploring and experimenting. […]
Modern science is based on methods and facts but what are the different processes leading to those facts to understand the world around us? […]
Science, having a strong impact on humans, is a subject full of facts and theory of cause and effect. Why are misconceptions attached to this subject then? […]
