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!

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.

Discovery of the closest asteroid by IIT Bombay students.

On  August 16 2020 ,  An asteroid sized 3 to 6 metres (10 to 20 feet) was found just 2950 km above the Earth's surface! The astonishing discovery was recorded by the students of IIT Bombay and Taiwan.   Helping make a discovery like this, so early in my research project, is beyond what I had ever imagined   -Sharma,  a third-year student of mechanical engineering at IIT-B. Named  2020QG,  the closest asteroid ever to be found near Earth without impacting it became an early success for the students. The discovers Kunal Deshmukh and Kritti Sharma and Chen-Yen Hsu at National Central University in Taiwan are a part of an international team seeking out Near-Earth Asteroids.          This is the first image of Asteroid 2020 QG, captured by Caltech's Zwicky Transient Facility (ZTF) after the asteroid's closest approach to Earth at a distance of 1,830 miles above the planet...

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!
