Dark Matter – The Mystery Continues!

August 10, 2020December 11, 2020 Pankaj Borah 0 Comments Dark Matter

7 minutes read Our present understanding of the observable universe suggests that around 71% of the total mass-energy budget of the universe is due to Dark Energy, around 24% is the non-baryonic, non-relativistic Dark Matter (DM). And, the rest 4% is the normal matter (i.e. proton, neutron, electron, etc.) which constitutes galaxies, stars, asteroids, planets, and us. To explain the Dark Matter is one of the unsolved problems in physics. Understanding this can help us to unravel the mystery of the universe.

What is “Extra” about Extra Dimensions: Are You In or Out?

July 25, 2020August 4, 2020 Pankaj Borah 1 Comment Extra Dimensions, Reality

7 minutes read For ages, the mighty ‘night sky’ has been a prime centre of many theoretical developments in Cosmology, Astro-Particle Physics and Astronomy. ‘Black Holes’, ‘Gravitational waves’, ‘Supernovae’, ‘Cosmic rays’ are just tiny characters of this huge stage. It not only provides information of the ‘astronomical’ objects but also motivates to question the very existence of us. One such question is, “What is reality? Do we really live in a 3 spatial dimension universe?” If yes, then why and if not, then what are those ‘Extra Dimensions’? The understanding of extra dimensions can help us to look deeper into nature and demystify it in a better way.
