The Black Hole Information Paradox

Abstract 

The Black Hole Information Paradox is one of the great unsolved problems in cosmology. Black holes devour all of the information that falls into them and all of it is stored in the singularity of the black hole. But here, the infamous Hawking radiation throws us off. Hawking radiation appears as a steady stream of particles, mostly photons, coming out of the black hole’s event horizon. It does not appear to contain any information, and is the same no matter what you throw into the black hole. This violate our laws of quantum information, stating that information cannot be created or destroyed.

Space Travel

This is a presentation that I created during the summer vacation. This talks about different methods of travelling in space. (Best viewed in full screen)

How can we use nanobots to cure cancer

What is a nanobot?

A nanobot is a tiny robot. When I say tiny, I mean really tiny. About a thousand of them could fit on the period at the end of this sentence. The problem – they have not been made yet.

From Coal to Diamond

Coal and diamond are two forms of carbon but they are completely different. Even though they are both carbon, the difference lies in the structure.

Coal is made up of different, overlapping structures where diamond is made of single, box-like structures. Coal is brittle because these overlapping structures can easily slide past each other. It is easy to create a tiny fracture in this pattern. This fracture will become the bigger break.

Diamond is strong because the structures are arranged like a builder arranging bricks. The structures, when hit, stay intact because the structures are giving each other support and helping them stay intact. See the diagram below to see the differences between coal and diamond.

As we all know, coal is common to find and diamonds are rare. Miners also have to dig deeper to find diamonds. All the diamonds dug out in human history would only fill two Olympic size swimming pools. It is this almost vanishing scarcity that makes diamond so valuable and precious.

Here is my proposal for a futuristic way of changing coal to diamond. We could use the power of AFMs (atomic force microscopes) to view and change the structure of coal atoms to form diamonds. AFMs use the power of the second force, electromagnetism, to view and change the structure of atoms to form other substances.

Thank you!

The End

A rainy day

This is a scenery I drew on a 6 holiday stretch. :-

This is a picture of a rainy day. There is grass, a tree, a house and rain. It reminds me of the 2016 cyclone, Vardhah. But this is in a rural area. The background depicts it.
