The Discovery of Positrons - Electron's Twin
In 1932, a 27-year-old physicist accidentally discovered antimatter while studying cosmic rays. This "mirror universe" particle was so revolutionary that it won him a Nobel Prize and changed our understanding of reality forever.
Lets deep Dive into this anti-electron particle in this thread🧵

Paul Dirac had a problem in 1928. His beautiful equation describing electrons predicted something impossible: particles with negative energy. Instead of dismissing it, he made a bold claim: "For every particle, there must exist an opposite—an antiparticle."

Discovery of Neutrino - The 'Ghost Particles'👻
Scientists once thought they broke the laws of physics. Instead, they discovered the most elusive particles in the universe—neutrinos.
This is the Story behind the Discovery of Neutrinos🧵

In 1930s, Physicists had a HUGE problem. When radioactive atoms decayed, energy was mysteriously disappearing. This violated the sacred law of energy conservation—energy can't just vanish into thin air.

Special Relativity: Einstein's First Revolution🌌
In 1905, a 26-year-old patent clerk named Albert Einstein published a paper titled "On the Electrodynamics of Moving Bodies " that would change physics forever
Let's explore how Special Relativity came into Existence🧵

In our Earlier Thread We talked about the Development of the General Theory of Relativity from the Newtons era to Todays World
Now We'll discuss about the Einstein's another famous work.. ' The Special Theory of Relativity'
General Relativity Thread: From Einstein's Vision to Black Hole Images🌌
Let's explore the journey from Newton's falling apple to Einstein's masterpiece, and how we're still confirming its predictions today.👇
1/22🧵
In 1687, Newton gave us a mathematical description of gravity as a force acting instantly across space. For over 200 years, this elegant theory explained planetary motions and falling objects.
But the Theory seems incompetent when it comes to precisions...
