Antiquity Of Optics

Almost all that is known in astronomy is identified through light. Today, we can analyze light of distant bodies to learn more about them – What they are made of, how hot they are and how fast they are moving. Light is constantly bringing stories about distant objects to Earth.

Nuclear Chemistry has recently revolutionised medicine. It has allowed use of radioactive elements to peer into the human body without surgery. Get to learn about this.

Surveying the stars to our cosmic address.

We take an exciting look at the differences between planets, moons, asteroids,comets, meteors, and meteorites. We then discuss early ideas of our cosmic ad-dress, that is, our location.

Before embarking on an adventurous journey to learn the Science of Optics, let us trace the road to our contemporary knowledge of Optics!

Where does heat come from? Andrew talks about the amazing science behind how heat is created.

Imagine the crash of thunder, voices of friends, the rustling of leaves, drops of water, sounds of machines, animals, and musical instruments. All these provide sounds that reach our ears and provide us with information. Sound plays a vital role in communication. Let’s learn the fundamentals of sound.

Paul shares on how to think like a scientist, how to question and how to see the Universe. Can we understand Science through Art? How important is Science communication?

X-ray astronomy offers a very different view of our universe. This way of looking at the skies has brought has brought into focus, exploding stars, active galaxies, hot young stars and high energy physics.

Have you ever wondered why 2+2 = 4? Why do you even believe it is true? So, what is mathematics then? We do know that it works! There are Planets discovered using mathematics. But how do we even define it? Can you touch mathematics? Probably not. So, how can something not physical describe the Universe?
