A few more Blog topics for students of Class XI B for First Term Project

 Delight !! You have more options
As per the response received from students, String Theory is of a little bit higher level and the understandable components and content available is limited. Therefore it has been decided to include a few more topics so that students can post a blog on the topic of their choice.
  1. Special Theory of Relativity
  2. General Theory of Relativity
  3. Superconductivity
  4. LHC - Large Hadron Collider
  5. Big Bang Theory
  6. String Theory and GUT
The blogs must be posted on or before 15 July 2010 midnight. A student can add any number of posts. i.e, instead of waiting for the entire project to be completed, he/she can post the draft. You will be able to edit your own entries any time you want. The evaluation will be done from midnight of 15 July 2010 onwards.

The grades obtained will not be published on the blog, but it will be entered into your Progress Report against first term project.

Please keep the following points in mind while submitting your project
  • The content should not be a copy-paste version of articles or information posted anywhere on the net. Read as many as you can and post what you understood in your own words
  • Include photos, videos etc related to the project topic, but the source must be declared and due credit must be given to the author. If you are interested in using some copyrighted material, seek permission from the person holding copyright (You can request via email, usually available at the site which displays the copyright information)
  • The entry can also be a fiction /story based on any one or more of the topics mentioned above.
  • Give special attention in formatting your articles properly. Use bold for highlighting important points.
  • Give suitable heading for paragraphs.
  • Give a short overview of the entry as the first paragraph.
(Also read the Guidelines published earlier)
All the Best

THE STRING THEORY

INTRODUCTION String theory is a developing theory in particle physics which attempts to reconcile quantum mechanics and general relativity . String Theory , sometimes called the Theory of Everything, is thought by some to be the unifying field theory Einstein sought before his death. String theory is the first mathematically sound theory that reconciles the world of the infinitesimally small, with the world we know at large. It unites Einstein’s Theory of Relativity with quantum physics and offers a potential explanation for the Big Bang. What's string theory? String theory posits that the electrons and quarks within an atom are not 0-dimensional objects, but rather 1-dimensional oscillating lines ("strings"), possessing only the dimension of length, but not height or width. The theory poses that these strings can vibrate, thus giving the observed particles their flavor , charge , mass and spin. History of String Theory Gabriele Veneziano, a research fello...

BIG BANG

Big Bang Theory - The Premise The Big Bang theory is an effort to explain what happened at the very beginning of our universe. Discoveries in astronomy and physics have shown beyond a reasonable doubt that our universe did in fact have a beginning. Prior to that moment there was nothing; during and after that moment there was something: our universe. The big bang theory is an effort to explain what happened during and after that moment. According to the standard theory, our universe sprang into existence as "singularity" around 13.7 billion years ago. What is a "singularity" and where does it come from? Well, to be honest, we don't know for sure. Singularities are zones which defy our current understanding of physics. They are thought to exist at the core of "black holes." Black holes are areas of intense gravitational pressure. The pressure is thought to be so intense that finite matter is actually squished into infinite density (a m...

GRAND UNIFIED THEORY

GUT The term Grand Unified Theory or GUT, refers to any of several similar models in particle physics in which at high energy scales, the three gauge interactions of the Standard Model which define the electromagnetic, weak, and strong interactions, are merged into one single interaction characterized by a larger gauge symmetry and one unified coupling constant rather than three independent ones History : Historically, the first true GUT which was based on the simple Lie group SU(5), was proposed by Howard Georgi and Sheldon Glashow in 1974.The Georgi–Glashow model was preceded by the Semisimple Lie algebra Pati–Salam model by Abdus Salam and Jogesh Pati,who pioneered the idea to unify gauge interactions. Unification of forces and the role of supersymmetry : The renormalization group running of the three-gauge couplings has been found to nearly, but not quite, meet at the same point if the hypercharge is normalized so that it is consistent with SU(5) or SO(10) GUTs,...
