Explaining The Universe on Instagram: "Magnetism is a physical force caused by the motion of electric charges, especially the spin and movement of electrons within atoms. It gives rise to magnetic fields, which can attract or repel certain materials like iron, nickel, and cobalt. On a larger scale, Earth itself acts like a giant magnet, with a magnetic field that protects us from harmful solar radiation. Magnetism is essential in many technologies, from compasses and motors to data storage and M

archive on Instagram: "On May 16, 1958, the United States conducted an underwater nuclear test called Wahoo. The device had a yield of 9 kilotons — similar to the Hiroshima bomb — but this time, the detonation occurred beneath the ocean’s surface. Within a second, a dome of water rose over 840 feet into the air. By seven seconds, it had widened to nearly 3,800 feet, sending violent plumes in every direction. By the 12th second, the vertical column began to collapse, while massive water surges co

Legacy on Instagram: "No problem! Here’s the information about the Precision Tests of Time Dilation with Atomic Clocks ⏱ Cr 🔹 What Was Tested? • Time dilation, a cornerstone of special relativity, states that time moves slower for objects traveling at high speeds. 🚀🕒 • This was tested using ultra-precise atomic clocks onboard fast-moving planes and satellites. 🔹 Key Experiments 1️⃣ Hafele-Keating Experiment (1971): • Atomic clocks were flown around the world on commercial jets. • Result: Clo

CLIPS on Instagram: "🎬 Fun Fact: Oppenheimer (2023) Christopher Nolan chose to film the Trinity Test explosion — the first nuclear detonation in history — without CGI. Instead, his special effects team recreated the blast using gasoline, magnesium, and aluminum powder, captured with ultra high-speed cameras to safely mimic the light and energy of an atomic explosion. The scene was filmed in the New Mexico desert, echoing the location of the real 1945 test. Cinematographer Hoyte van Hoytema expl
