Creativity is not a measurable as strictly as the temperature of melting gold is

Part-2 In the field of Science, Albert Einstein is considered to be the most creativescientist of all. As an academic exercise, let us try to compare and rank AlbertEinstein vs Leonardo da Vinci.Obviously, there will be no definitive answer to it, as creativity can be definedand measured in different ways. Some people may argue that […]

Creativity is not a measurable as strictly as the temperature of melting gold is.

PART-1 Before we can attempt to answer as to what should be considered a goldstandard of creativity. It is necessary to develop an idea of what creativity is allabout. Let us ask the interesting question whom should we consider as morecreative a scientist or a painter? To better appreciate it, let us ask a complexquestion

Nobel prize in Physics 2023 “for experimental methods that generate attosecond pulses of light for the study of electron dynamics in matter”.

Part-B Pump-probe spectroscopy is a powerful experimental technique used in physics and chemistry to study ultrafast processes. Its basic principle revolves around the controlled interaction of two precisely timed laser pulses with a material. Here’s how it works: Pump Pulse    – The first laser pulse, known as the “pump” pulse, is a high-intensity and very

India’s journey on the fast track to growth in the area of science and technology starts with the setting up of the National Research Foundation. 

Part-1 It was the establishment of the Department of Science and Technology (DST) in 1971 that started the journey and played a significant role in providing a dedicated focus on research and innovation in the field of science. The formation of DST helped centralize efforts to promote scientific research, technology development, and innovation in the country.

So, did Isaac Newton really discover gravity?

Or did he make it up? (Part – 5) By : Niranjan Kambi, Department of Psychology, University of Wisconsin-Madison, USA What does all this mean to us, the ordinary folk? First and foremost, it gives us a glimpse into how science proceeds from known to unknown. In Noam Chomsky’s words, “Any scientific theory is based

So, did Isaac Newton really discover gravity?

Or did he make it up? (Part – 4) By : Niranjan Kambi, Department of Psychology, University of Wisconsin-Madison, USA In early 20th century, Einstein took the latter path. He questioned the existence of gravitational force, and revolutionised physics by postulating a universe where such a force is rendered superfluous. In place of Newton’s theory,

So, did Isaac Newton really discover gravity?

Or did he make it up? (Part – 3) By : Niranjan Kambi, Department of Psychology, University of Wisconsin-Madison, USA Here, take a moment to absorb and appreciate the rather “occult” nature of this interaction between matter without any contact and the sheer genius of Newton. He conjured up a force, which he called gravity
