Is it possible for an object to be at two different places or different states at the same time? According to classical physics, this is an aberration. But how does quantum physics approach the raised question?

The answer to the raised question is obvious and we all know that light is a form of energy coming from the sun. From this blog, you will learn how one of the most famous equations in the World is somehow a lie or a misconception.

Can you think of any solid that is composed of only 99.8% of air? Well, this strain credulity but these solids exist and are known as aerogels. Well, I actually learned about aerogels out of boredom and deemed it judicious to push my curiosity a step further. Basically what you need to know about aerogels is that they are the world's lightest solid owing to their porous structure and very low density. The most remarkable aspect of aerogels is that it is composed of only 99.8% of air. The picture on the right shows a silica aerogel. Aerogels are mostly made from silica gels but can be made from other gels such as gelatin. To get a better picture of what are aerogels lets consider jello. Aerogels can be compared to jello in which all of the solvent(usually water) is removed from the jello leaving the solid structure of the jello untouched. The solid structure is aerogel. But how can this be done??? Well, jello has a solid framework, where the cavities are filled wit...
