  Force Fields In a previous post, I talked about the Fundamental Forces which govern every single interaction in the Universe. It is useful to think of a Fundamental Force manifesting itself as a directional field. Think of a magnet - it has a magnetic field. The direction of the field depends on the pole of the magnet - north or south. The strength of the field is the Electromagnetic Force

  In the previous two posts, I talked about matter and fundamental forces. In this post I'll discuss the concept of energy and its relationship with mass and matter.   Energy Energy is a measurement of the strength of Forces available to a Particle. For example, the energy of a single Photon for visible light is 4 x 10-19 joules or 9 x 10-20 calories. (If you are health conscious, you would

  Fundamental Forces In the previous post I talked about matter. The next question is, how does matter interact with other matter? Everywhere we see around us, things are in motion and are changing. As I type this sentence, my fingers are moving on the keyboard, the keys are getting pressed, in turn they are sending signals to the CPU which in turn is processing them and sending them to the OS

Before I can start telling the story of our world, we must understand it first - what is it made of, how does it work, etc. In the next few posts, I will try and describe the fundamental underpinnings of the workings of our world. If you are familiar with Physics, you may want find a lot of material very familiar and also simplistic at times - the idea is to get a qualitative feel of how things
