The Expansion of the Universe, Dark Energy, and God
The structure of the universe, with billions of galaxies, has been figured out only in the last 100 years. In the US, Edwin Hubble in 1929 (the same name as in the Hubble Telescope) measured the speed of galaxies and found that all the galaxies were moving apart from each other — the universe was … More “The Expansion of the Universe, Dark Energy, and God”
The elusive neutrino – a mysterious subatomic particle that may be a key to the unexplained dark matter of the universe.
The neutrino is a subatomic particle, smaller than a proton and an electron. The neutrino was proposed by Enrico Fermi and his co-workers in 1930-1932 to explain a common nuclear reaction called beta-decay.
Not too long after, Fermi couldn’t get a paper published in Nature because the neutrino concept was too unrealistic, so he switched … More “The elusive neutrino – a mysterious subatomic particle that may be a key to the unexplained dark matter of the universe.”
