IN SHORT Electromagnetism: study of interactions between charged particles. Electromagnetic field: combination of electric and magnetic fields. An electric field is related to a voltage. A magnetic field arises from moving electric charges. Both fields are inseparable and interact with each other. An electric current generates both an electric field and a magnetic field. The … Read more
IN SHORT Symmetry: A fundamental concept in physics, reflecting the invariance of a system in the face of transformations. Transformations: Symmetries can be associated with modifications such as rotations or inversions. Symmetry groups: A mathematical structure that formalizes the relationships between symmetries and physical laws. Conservation: Each symmetry leads to the conservation of a physical … Read more
IN BRIEF Big Bang : a cosmic event marking the origin of the Universe according to the current cosmological model. Origins of the Universe : study of the conditions that preceded and followed the Big Bang. Formation Eras : the Universe evolved through the radiation era and then the matter era. String Theory : suggests … Read more
IN BRIEF Gravitational waves: oscillations of the curvature of space-time. Produced by cosmic events such as supernovas and black holes. Validation of general relativity by Albert Einstein in 1916. Possible detection thanks to facilities like LIGO. Significant consequences for modern astrophysics and the study of universes. Access to invisible phenomena that enrich our understanding of … Read more

IN BRIEF Four fundamental forces: gravitational force, electromagnetic force, strong nuclear force, weak nuclear force. Gravity: attraction of all masses, the weakest force. Electromagnetism: force framework of matter and responsible for interactions between electric charges. Strong nuclear force: keeps protons and neutrons bound within the atomic nucleus. Weak nuclear force: involved in certain forms of … Read more
IN BRIEF First law: Law of inertia, an object at rest stays at rest, and an object in motion continues at constant speed. Second law: Relationship between force, mass, and acceleration (F = ma). Third law: For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. Newton’s laws are the foundations of classical mechanics. Applications: … Read more
IN BRIEF Mathematics as a universal language Relationship with physics, biology, computer science Essential role in understanding the world Mathematical logic for decision-making Application in research and conferences Universality of mathematics in sciences Importance of theorems and fractals Theory of chaos and its implications In the field of physics, mathematics plays a fundamental role, acting … Read more
