Admin This is an example of a question that has been influenced by science fiction literature and movies that seem to warp the truth on things like this for entertainment. But also, the science itself can be confusing. This answer will debunk the incorrect beliefs that we hold and also explain why they are wrong.So, do … Read more Does every black hole contain a singularity?
The short answer is that you do actually weigh less at the equator than you do stood at the North Pole. This is the same for the South Pole too. But this answer will debunk some of the mystery surrounding the answer and delve deeper into why this is the case.Does your body change when … Read more Do I weigh less on the equator than at the North Pole?
Can you make a shock wave of light by breaking the light barrier just like supersonic airplanes break the sound barrier?The answer to this is twofold, because it can be answered both yes and no. It depends on the material that you are in.Can anything travel the speed of light?Yes, particles that are considered quantum … Read more Can you make a shock wave of light by breaking the light barrier?
To start with, your mass is not affected at all by the speed that you travel at. People tend to believe that objects gain mass as they travel at higher speeds, mainly because old textbooks and teachings have us believe that. But according to Einstein’s theory of Special Relativity, this is simply not true.So why … Read more Can you go fast enough to get enough mass to become a black hole?
It is true that a star can turn into a planet, but the star has to be a brown dwarf. There are multiple different types of star, all having different properties, but in order for a star to become a planet, it would have to have been a brown dwarf star.Brown dwarfs are stars?Normally, stars … Read more Can a star turn into a planet?
First of all, there definitely is a lot of gravity in space. Gravity is a force that is very prevalent in space, even if it is not strong everywhere. In relation to the surface of Earth, gravity is obviously weaker the further from Earth you go, but gravity is still there in space. Gravity can … Read more Why is there no gravity in space?
The sun never changes its temperature in relation to Earth’s seasons. Since it is literally a ball of fire facilitated by nuclear reactions, its surface stays hot all year round. The extremely high heat of the sun causes it to emit copious amounts of radiation in all directs from its spherical shape. Since the sun … Read more Why is the sun cold in Winter?
Conversely to the question, the moon is actually not that bright, especially when we compare it to other astronomical objects in space. The reason that the moon appears so bright in our night sky on earth, is because we are comparing the brightness of it to the object around us that are receiving absolutely no … Read more Why is the moon so bright?
In a short answer: light is not in fact pure energy. It is, however, true that light has no mass. But the fact that light has no mass does not mean that light is pure energy. Light is actually made up of objects called photons. This can be compared to other fundamental quantum objects since … Read more Why is light pure energy?
On the contrary, gravity is actually the weakest force. This is true when it comes to the fundamental forces anyway. If you order the four fundamental forces from weakest to strongest, it would look like this: gravity, weak nuclear force, electromagnetic force, and the strong nuclear force. If we are to zoom in on two … Read more Why is gravity the strongest force?
