String Theory

  Physics is mysterious. Every time we learn something new in physics, it just opens a gateway of confusion about the particular thing we have learned. But perhaps this is the beauty of physics. The current popular model of the universe approximates that the whole of the universe comprises 5% normal matter (visible matter), 25% dark matter, and 70% dark energy. The reality we see in our daily lives is just a tiny fraction of the entire universe. What is the true nature of the universe? It’s such a hard question to answer. The most concerning theories in physics that have a precise answer to a lot of natural phenomena are the Theory of Relativity (at the macroscopic level) and Quantum Physics (at the microscopic level). String theory is believed theoretically to be held up as the approximate theory of everything, which could unite "relativity theory" and "quantum physics" together. String theory is a model that physicists use to describe how forces are usually concep

(Source: BBC/The Open University) Imagine how different one’s life would be if that person could manipulate and control time. That would be the strongest weapon ever made, granting that person an idea of how the universe works, immortality, and never-diminished consciousness. There have been many discoveries and inventions on macroscopic and microscopic levels made in the 21st century that holds immense value in understanding and studying the universe. From building small nano techs to higher-altitude satellites that can sense complicated space phenomena, we’ve progressed very far as a species. One of the greatest inventions of the human race, which I consider to be the camera, might not sound that fascinating to think of the camera as the greatest invention instead of missiles, satellites, or other scientific gadgets. But a simple camera has certain powers that other high-tech devices don’t have. It can capture time.  Physicists believe that time had a beginning. It is argued to have
