Why Is Hydrogen Bomb Stronger Than Atom Bomb?
Hydrogen bombs use the fusion of atomic nuclei to produce explosive energy. Like a nuclear power plant, atomic bombs are based on fission. Nuclear fission is carried out to generate more energy, which is then used to initiate nuclear fusion.

The Journey of a Black Hole: How They Form And What Happens If You Get Pulled In
The Journey of a Black Hole: How They Form And What Happens If You Get Pulled In A black hole is a region of spacetime where gravity is so strong that nothing particles or even electromagnetic radiation such as light can escape from it. The theory of general relativity predicts that a sufficiently compact mass can deform spacetime to form a black hole.

Ascension: The Shift from 3D to 5D Consciousness
Imagine for the moment, there existing a vastly complex system containing of a community of dots, interacting amongst themselves on an infinitely spanning two-dimensional plane, complete with it’s respective horizontal and vertical x, and y x axis, both reaching out into infinitum.

How do You Know What You Know is True?
There are two necessary components to gaining knowledge: information literacy and critical thinking skills. Information literacy consists of knowing where to find information and how to evaluate information sources for usefulness and veracity. Thinking skills are how we use the information to guide our opinions and actions.

Falling out of love with quantum mechanics
Quantum mechanics seems indistinguishable from magic for the uninitiated. Reading quantum mechanics certainly changes the way you look at everything. Learning physics at university is a journey in which you question everything, even things that you had ever assumed to be true. Fortunately you receive very testable answers, otherwise it would be nothing more than exciting glimpses which could never be proven.

The Thermodynamics of a Beer Can
Last weekend I made a mistake I am sure many of my readers have experienced, which was that I forgot to put enough drinks in the fridge a couple hours before I needed them. For many this would have been a disaster, and unfortunately, they would have been doomed to drinking warm beers until either they concluded the night or waiting for the process of which never seems fast enough, of their fridge naturally bringing their drink down to a frosty and cool 4-5 degrees Celsius (or 39-41 Fahrenheit if you're dead set on using freedom units) for enjoyable consumption.

Reasons for studying solar system debris
Apart from the planets and moons that are well known and which can be seen from Earth with greater or lesser ease, there is a huge amount of material that also journeys around the Sun. These items range in size from objects many miles in diameter or length (they usually have irregular shapes) to small pieces of rock or even particles of dust. Apart from idle curiosity, why should astronomers bother studying these? And are there aspects of any of these objects that should concern the average non-astronomer?
