The Physics Project for June - July 2010

Class XI B

Collect details of GUT and String Theory

Each student will collect details of the theories from all possible sources, compile it and post to this blog.

The blog entries can be submitted anytime but must get it reviewed before 15 July so that the corrected entries can be made available for final evaluation and then for access by Public from 1 August onwards.

The students will be invited by email and from the link provided on the email, the students will be able to join this blog as contributors and then they can start posting their findings, articles, photos, images, videos etc as blog entries.

  1. Yes Dear Aravind
    This is a beginning. If found successful, it may be extended to other classes as well.

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...

The Amazing Big Bang Theory

The Amazing Big Bang Theory We all are familiar of the term the universe and the Milky Way galaxy but there was a time billions of years ago when none of these existed. We can’t even imagine it right? Well this is true and our universe, the galaxies all began with a bang, a big bang. Scientists believe that the universe began with a bang about 15 millions of years ago. At the very beginning, the universe was just a minute hot ball, many times smaller than an atom. Inside this ball was everything to needed to make the universe. In the 1930s an American astronomer Edwin P Hubble discovered that light from all distant galaxies is coming from a receding source. This is the only possible explanation of the light spectrum is shifted towards the red end. The real fact is due to Doppler's effect .in 1948 George Gamow a Russian-born-American physicist in a theory concerned with the origin of the light elements, interpreted the Doppler effect as demonstrating the that the ...

|String|---|Theory|

The String Theory is a recent trend or theory is physics which is attempting to formulate a theory to harmonize quantum mechanics and general relativity.It is trying to prove that electrons and quarks in the nucleus are not zero-dimensional,but rather uni-dimensional oscillating lines called strings.It is said to possess only length and no other dimension. This is one of the hottest research going on in the modern day physics.It has originated from the dual-resonance model which was proposed by Gabriele Veneziano in 1969.There are 5 major developed string theories.Each of them differs in the number of dimensions in which the strings developed and their characteristics.All these theories seems to be correct though. Once scientists believed there were 5 superstring theories-Type I,types IIA and IIB and the two heterotic string theories.The thinking was that out of these five candidate theories, only one was the actual correct Theory of Everything .But now it is known that it was naive t...
