Brief History Of Time by Stephen Hawking: Review and Shop

Brief History of Time by Stephen Hawking was the first physics book I finished. Stephen Hawking, the renowned pop-star theoretical physicist, has done a great job in writing a book which can be read by average readers!


Though it is a little old compared to today's science. I assure you that you will receive a lot of knowledge after reading the book. A book required for any science enthusiast. This is a small book, so you can finish in 2 days!


I'm going to give an outline of the book. Don't worry, this won't be counted as spoilers. This is not a storybook!

Stephen Hawking's Photo

OUR PICTURE OF UNIVERSE

Hawking travels through time to show us the mankind's interpretation of the world. From the earth standing on top of tortoises to flat-earthers to Copernican theory (The Earth is spherical). From static universe to an ever-expanding universe! 


QUANTUM MECHANICS

The well-known but not well-understood theory is the Quantum Mechanics. The book teaches us the Uncertainty principle and a lot more, which makes to gasp. 



Black Hole

BLACK HOLES

Stephen Hawking was an expert in Black Holes. Black holes are the afterlives of big stars. It is so huge in mass (About 4 times the sun), but are so small in volume (Size of Manhattan). They are capable of piercing through the spacetime and freezes time. Thus, causing singularity.

THE GRAND UNIFIED THEORY 

This is the final and the greatest goal of physics. To unify all the laws of physics into a single equation. The book tells about our accomplishment and our future accomplishment yet to be discovered!


You can buy the Illustrated Brief History of Time here via Amazon. The first is the new one. And the second is an old version but much cheaper.

Different Architectures of NVidia GPUs

In today's blog, we will be discussing the different types of architecture(current) of the NVidia GPUs. You might have noticed some terms like Pascal, Turing and Ampere . These are the three types of architecture in which NVidia Graphics Card works. Pascal Architecture: Pascal is a codename for the GPU architecture developed by NVidia. This architecture was introduced in 2016.  This architecture is primarily used in the GeForce 10 Series  starting with the GeForce GTX 1080 and GTX 1070, which were released on May 17, 2016, and June 10, 2016, respectively.  The architecture was named after the French mathematician Blaise Pascal. This architecture has 64-128 CUDA cores, a memory bandwidth of 720GiB/s, and NVlink. They also announced the RayTracing support for Pascal Architecture in 2019 after a driver update, Turing Architecture: Turing is a codename for the GPU architecture developed by NVidia. This architecture was introduced in 2018. This architecture was primarily used ...

HTML & CSS by John Duckett: Review

If you are passionate about coding and web development, you might know that HTML & CSS are the initial and vital language. You might have a guide and introduction to it on our website. But the most famous one is a book by John Duckett. HTML & CSS by John Duckett  is an outstanding beginner book. Unlike other coding books, this one isinteractive and clean. Each page of the books has an elegant design. The teachings are present on the left side, and the code snippets on the right. You can also find the code source on  their website . It also has codes relevant to HTML5 and CSS3, which are the newest versions of the languages. It is my first coding book, and I am so grateful for that. John Duckett also wrote a Javascript & jQuery book , which is like a sequel for this one.  You can buy it on Amazon by clicking below!

Why are there different types of Mozilla Firefox?

  Firefox is a fast and famous browser, developed by a non-profit. Firefox's speed and privacy were the key points that brought them up. By hearing all this, at last, you go to Mozilla Firefox Website to download it. But there are different types! Which one should you choose and which one you should download? STABLE EDITION It is the most used and stable Firefox Browser. It is the one you have seen in your computer lab. Firefox updates it every six weeks, checks and revises and, thus bug-free. BETA EDITION   It is one step ahead from the stable version. Beta versions have the next update or release of the stable version but sooner. Beta also has some minor security things for good. For instance, a developer can run an unpublished add-on in the beta version, but not in the stable version since the stable version does only allow authorised add-on. Beta can be good for those who are curious browser to see the next updates. For the developers, we have the next one! DEV EDITI...
