  By Aliol Physics Department We have witnessed with the rise of IoT that artificial intelligence is replacing many human jobs. Drivers are been replaced by self-Driving cars, Pilots are been replaced by auto-pilots and so on. It is just a matter of time when AI will completely replace these jobs. In the long run, no job will remain safe from the rise of AI. Even Creative artists such as poets, composers, musicians, singers etc. should be put on notice. Many people claim that AI is good at various things, it excels way beyond human expectations, but it will be challenging to exhibit creativity as it requires human intuition which AI completely fail to mimic. Or is it possible to mimic human intuition? In the last few Decades, research in areas such as neuroscience and behavioural science allowed scientists to hack humans and, to gain a much better understanding of how humans make decisions. It turned out that our choices of everything, from food to mates result not from some mysteriou

                                                                                            By Sudhir Rai  Physics Department What is time? For this question, we have numerous answers. And since we know that time plays a very significant role in the universe's structure. And despite so many years of investigation into the nature of time, there are still many unsolved issues, both philosophical and scientific. There are many questions and theories that captivate a learner's mind and one of them is “time travel”, which is related to the special theory of relativity given by the world's renowned theoretical physicist Albert Einstein. He stated that time is variable and can be changed. Before getting into the details, there are two important facts that are related to this theory: 1.     1.  In 1636, Galileo Galilei's principle of relativity stated that it is impossible to determine by any mechanical experiment conducted in any inertial system whether the given system is

  By Sai Prasanna Thapa Chemistry Department ‘Time is precious’, ‘Time should not be wasted’ is how I began the essay on Time as a kid. Over the years, I was fascinated by numerous theories that plugged the gaps between me and the truth. Time is one of them. I wondered as a seventh-grade student, if I set my watch five minutes earlier than the school clock, I’d be five minutes faster than my peers. Figuratively yes, theoretically no. And one Winter afternoon of 2018, as I was listening to a podcast on space-time, it changed my life forever. Gravitational Time Dilation is an effect stated by Albert Einstein. In simple words, it is a difference between the passed time of an event observed by two people situated in different areas of gravitational potential. For the person closer to the gravitational mass, time will run slower for him than the one who is away, experiencing the weaker pull of gravity. It must be noted that the time difference is very less. The Hafele–Keating experi

The Scientific method is a method of acquiring knowledge that leads to the  development of science. It involves careful observation and applying a theory  and hypothesis to what is observed.   The scientific method in lab science like chemistry or biology uses precise observation of what is  studied and confirms or reviews the observations with the theory. On the other hand the scientific  method used in astronomy is quite different then the one used for lab science. First of all we  can’t be 100% sure of the observation, for example if we view a glowing door in the sky. We can’t be  100% sure whether it is a planet or a star or some different celestial astronomical body unlike lab science where we choose the animal or chemical beforehand to study it. In lab science we  are hundred percent sure that what we are studying is what we are intending to study, unlike in  astronomy we are not sure unless we get very high resolution telescopes that which star we  studied yesterday is the same

   Temperature of Dark Matter By- Anmol Subba (Alumni) Wait what? Does dark matter have temperature? Does it mean that they radiate heat energy like our sun or earth and thereby has temperature?  The sad truth is no. Dark matter are very ghostly matter they neither interact with anyone nor they radiate any form of energy. Therefore it is very difficult to detect them. So far we have evidences for dark matter particles but have not detected them in our observations or experiments. Anyways back to the temperature of Dark Matter, if by temperature we do not mean the heat energy then what does temperature of dark matter actually mean? You might be surprised to know this but by temperature the physicists mean the speed of the dark matter at which they move around. The physical meaning of temperature has nothing to do with the temperature of dark matter. Physicists have so many theories that they run of things to name and just start naming whatever they like, only to get confused with their
