Google recently improved its search engine and Lens tool to make it easier for you to understand and solve complex problems in subjects like geometry, physics, trigonometry, and calculus. The update lets you type math equations or take pictures of them using Google Lens tool. It then gives y...

Introduction Euclidean geometry has been the foundation of our understanding of space for centuries. However, as our knowledge of the universe has expanded, it has become evident that Euclidean geometry is not sufficient to describe certain phenomena, particularly in the realm of quantum physics....

Geometric and Topological Insights In mathematics, the study of polyhedra like the octahedron and their higher-dimensional analogues (the cross-polytope, such as the 4-dimensional 24-cell) provides essential insights into topology and geometry. These shapes help understand complex spatial rela...

Every week I send my email subscribers a newsletter discussing advances in space and physics. I am sharing this look back at the year’s newsletters with all of you on Medium. If you’d like to subscribe, you can do so for free by clicking here. As has become tradition by now, at t...

So, let’s say you want to travel to another galaxy in a straight line (we can assume that both the start and finish locations are stationary). How precise would your calculations need to be so that you don’t end up in the “void of space”. Since we don’t have the spec...

You may have heard about the 2022 Nobel Prize in Physics awarded to physicists who experimentally confirmed that our Universe is “not Locally Real”. This led to some sensational misinterpretations like Universe is not “Real”, Universe is a ”Simulation” etc..,...

Physics is a difficult thing to study. Not just because it requires a lot of mathematics, but also because it requires a lot of patience, dedication and time. Most people only learn physics in high school, and never touch on the subject again, perhaps they don’t need it, or they go into a prof...

While this may confine a human’s dream of immortality to solutions that rely on technological enhancements or science-fiction level technology that relies on novel physical laws and/or phenomena, there’s still plenty for relativity to say about living forever: at least, relative to the r...

I haven’t always loved mathematics. I distinctly recall being pretty miserable in all my high school math classes and the rote learning they entailed. I started to feel a call to do it professionally when I took a required course called Discrete Mathematics. This course had no textbook and ...
