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.

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...

RTX 3000 Series - The Game Changer

NVidia Geforce RTX 3080 The new RTX 3000 series announced yesterday live on YouTube. The CEO of NVidia, Jensen Huang, announced the features, release date and many more. Computer graphics have improved a lot since the start of computing. RTX 3000 series would be a game-changer in the GPU industries. Jensen Huang, the CEO of Nvidia announced 3 RTX 3000 Series Graphics Cards - RTX 3070, RTX 3080, RTX 3090. This new-gen graphics card design with Ampere Architecture. RTX 2000 series uses Turing architecture and GTX 1000 series use Pascal architecture. Ampere Architecture is said to have better performances and features (1.9 times) than previous GPUs. It also has 28 billion transistors, having the world’s fastest Graphics speed (760GB/s) with 3rd gen Tensor cores. This time Nvidia has joined with Samsung to produce the 7nm processors.  The game Marbles with RTX enabled “ Ampere is the biggest generation leap we had ”  The pricing of the RTX 3000 series is low...

Apple Silicon is here!!

 In the latest launch event held by Apple on 11th November 2020, they have announced the new Silicon processor for Mac line-ups such as Macbook and iMac. Silicon processors have been developed for decades and been used for their Tablets, Watches, and Smartphones. Earlier this year, they have announced to cut ties with Intel - which was the processor they have been using for its Pc line-ups previously and make their own processors for the average workload done by an average OSX user. Silicon chips usually co consume less power and still outputs incredible performances.  The Silicon chips which will be specifically used in Macs are called the "M1". Usually, every computer has its RAMs, GPUs, I/O, separately. But M1 unifies all those components into one set. The Unified memory architecture provides High Bandwidth of data transfer as fast as possible and access to the entire SoC. This is also the first CPU to use 5nm transistors (While AMD  uses 7nm). "M1" has 16 bill...
