Understanding about the universe
Big Bang is the beginning of the universe. Universe has made a huge progress in the last decade and the understanding we had until now is totally wrong and outdated.

When we watch up sky in the evenings we feel that the universe and stars are so beautiful, and we’d like to understand what's going on and get into philosophical thoughts. This kind of question we might have asked: How did the universe begin?

To understand how the universe works we need to know (1) entire universe was made of kind of atoms; as well as we are made of ;(2) law of physics that tell us how things fall and move ; and (3) chemical elements out there without which we couldn't have possibly born.

So, where do they come from? This actually turns out as a real scientific question we can ask today. Our recent understanding about it can be formulated with newly discovered Higgs boson without which we could not exist. Existence of the Higgs boson was discovered in July fourth 2012 and the physicists who theorized it were awarded Nobel Prize in 2013.

The mysterious sides of the Universe are dark matter and antimatter. Dark matter is a bulk of matter in a Universe; still we don't know what it is and without it we could not have existed in universe. Antimatter may sound like something shown up in science fiction movies; they do exist, we can even make them & born at the very beginning of the universe in the Big Bang. But fortunately antimatter doesn't seem to exist today.

A tremendous expansion of the universe idea was born out with the latest data and based on the nature of dark energy it may have an end or may continue expanding forever. We don't know which one is the right future yet.

Higgs Boson Frozen into the Universe I

-
Image
When the Mr. Peter Higgs proposed this idea that universe has Higgs Boson stuck everywhere that was already like 50 years ago. People started contemplating doing an experiment to prove this theory that was like also 30 years ago. When we look into outer space, much of it seems completely empty but particle called the Higgs boson is frozen into this empty space. That is actually much needed for us to understand the origin of atoms. The discovery of Higgs boson came out from an experiment called Large Hadron Collider laboratory that's in international research center called CERN which is on a border between Switzerland and France, and they have built this big tunnel which is as big as 27 kilometers in circumference. It's a big tunnel, which is filled with high tech equipments. The basic idea is that by building this big experiment can accelerate particles like protons during incredible speed and energy smash together to recreate the condition of the Big Bang. ...

Hiking in Nepal

-
  Nepal is the ultimate destination for the Trekking. Hiking and Trekking in Nepal is as much as cultural experience as a Himalayan adventure. The hills of Nepal are popular for hiking. Hiking provides you with spectacular views of the mountains and the deep valleys, as well as a chance to become acquainted with the Nepali people’s lifestyle, their art, architecture and cultural traditions. There are many popular areas for one or two day hikes. Kakani is popular for panoramic mountains views of Annapurna (8091m/ 26,545ft), Manasalu (8165m/ 26,781ft), Ganesh Himal (7446m/ 24,422ft), Lantang lirung (7245m/ 23,763ft) and 20 other mountains over 6000 meters (19,680ft) above sea level. You can also see the natural beauty of the Kathmandu Valley, the people and their culture and traditions. This is a one day trip from Kathmandu.

The Friedmann equation.

-
This is the basic equation of cosmology, and its solution tells how universe will evolve on large scales. We can derive it using Newtonian approximation, if we accept two results from General Relativity: First, there is, so called, Birkhoff's ,theorem, which says that, for a spherically symmetric system, the force due to gravity at some radius is determined only   by the mass interior to this radius. And also, the energy contributes to gravitational mass density. So we need to add them up together. Imagine a sphere with a mean density of row, radius of R, acceleration to a particle in surface, which is the second derivative of the radius, is given by formula.                 Ȑ = - 4 л G ϱ R                          3 Now, if the density changes, it c...
