How To Make Your Own Solar Panel

174 petawatts (PW) of energy, in the form of solar radiation, hits our atmosphere. Almost one-third of this is reflected into space. The rest, 3,850,000 Exajoules(1EJ=1000000000000000000 J) every year, is absorbed by the atmosphere, clouds, oceans and land – one hour of insolation is the equivalent to more than the world’s energy consumption for an…

Climate Change: The Impact On Earth Has Begun

It is abundantly clear that climate change is real. But what’s more - it has already begun to have a pernicious effect on natural ecosystems, globally. According to scientists at NASA’s Goddard Institute of Space Science, 2016 has been the hottest year on record.  While a target temperature rise of 1.5–2°C (2.7-3.6°F) compared to the pre-industrial climate…

The hype behind Quantum Entanglement

The framework of modern physics largely rests on two pillars, namely General Relativity (which is celebrating its centenary this year), and Quantum Mechanics. Albert Einstein not only formulated the theory of relativity but was also one of the pioneers in the development of Quantum Theory. However, it is worth noting that Einstein had his reservations…
