Add to ORKGDiscovering unexpected connections between completely different phenomena is always a delight in physics. In this and the next installment, we will look at one such connection between two unlikely phenomena : propagation of light and path integral approach to quantum mechanics
Supernova explosions are the central events in nuclear astrophysics. The core-collapse variety is a ...
It is well known in Newtonian gravity that a spherically symmetric density distribution produces a f...
The idealized flow of fluid a round a spherical body is a classic textbook problem in fluid mechanic...
The probability amplitude for a particle to propagate from event to event in spacetime shows some ni...
Obtaining the classical limit of quantum mechanics turns out to be conceptually and operationally no...
A solution to the 3-body problem in gravity, due to Lagrange, has several remarkable features. In pa...
Some of the curious effects in quantum theory and statistical mechanics can be interpreted by analyt...
How does one study quantum mechanics in an accelerated frame? The answer to this question leads to s...
Variational principles play a central role in theoretical physics in many guises. We will discuss, i...
We continue our exploration of random walks with some more curious results. We discuss the dimension...
Scaling arguments and dimensional analysis are powerful tools in physics which help you to solve sev...
The statistical mechanics of a system of particles interacting through gravity leads to several coun...
Few processes in nature are as ubiquitous as the random walk which combines extraordinary sim plicit...
The major contribution of Kepler was in discovering his laws of planetary motion, one of which state...
If one follows in the footsteps of Newton, 'almost all' roads lead to Rome (or is it London?)
