Re: Engineering (Science) Fiction - Introduction
There are several topics in engineering that are fundamental in nature and are dealt with good amount of intellectual rigour. Fluid Mechanics, Thermodynamics, Applied Mechanics, Surveying(it has several sub-topics such as theory of errors), Soil Mechanics, Structural Analysis & Design etc are to...

Re: Light as a Singularity in space-time/space & propagation of sound.
Take the case of an Avogadro Number. It is constant for all elements. This is explained logically by the fact that as the atomic number increases the mass of the element also increases. All speeds add-up or substract under normal circumstances. Weather it is the speed of solids or liquids or gases. ...

Engineering (Science) Fiction - Introduction
Science Fictions have contributed much to entertainment and spreading awareness of issues related to complex scientific matters among the youth and the common man. It has also contributed to art etc. This has resulted in a spreading of scientific temperament and thereby has helped in adopting more r...

Re: Light as a Singularity but not refered so - Why?
... I want to refer to [light] as a Singularity because Singularities cannot be explained by normal laws of science. However I do not see light being refered as a Singularity by scientists. Could I know why? For the simple reason that it can be described by the laws of science :D There are Maxwell'...

Light as a Singularity but not refered so - Why?
The speed of light is constant in all conditions. Its speed is the upper limit any object can reach. Further, light is a hybrid product consisting of both electrical and magnetic waves. Light exhibit dual nature both waves and particle. Light is special and I want to refer it to as a Singularity bec...

Re: Light as a Singularity in space-time/space & propagation of sound.
I have stated the propagation of sound waves which we can listen. Our ear drums are sensitive to sound waves. Gravitational waves are very fundamental in nature through which the force of gravity propagates. It is also a wave and waves have a common property that they oscillate. Sound waves by defi...

Re: Light as a Singularity in space-time/space & propagation of sound.
It is said in Hindus (I am also a Hindu) that the Universe started with a faint sound of "OM". Did God say this to initiate the big-bang??

Light as a Singularity in space-time/space & propagation of sound.
The movement of light in space-time/space is a singularity because it is constant in all conditions. Light is electromagnetic waves and its speed is special. Blackholes are also singularities. Singularities do occur in real that is for certain. Sound is the actual movement/vibration/oscillation of m...

Elastic Nature of Space-Time - Explained
I had earlier stated that space-time (4D) behaves like an elastic material because it deforms in the presence of mass or energy and returns back to normal flat shape when the mass is removed. Space not elastic but with the addition of time, space-time behaves like a highly rigid/elastic material. Wh...

Elastic Nature of Space-Time
Space-Time behaves like an elastic material in the presence of mass because it bends in the presence of mass and returns back to normal flat shape when the mass is removed. We can hence determine the Modulus of Elasticity and other engineering parameters of space-time and predict its behaviour. Mass...
