Matter Just Matters: What exactly is plasma? More specifically, what is Quark-Gluon Plasma? How does it work? By: Ian Davis -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Introduction: So my significant other made a mistake by saying that I was the hottest thing in the universe, wrong, just wrong; I remember this article saying that the hottest thing in the universe that we have observed was this special reaction in the chamber at CERN's Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider at Brookhaven National Laboratory where they managed to discover a type of matter called Quark-Gluon Plasma that can exist at 4-6 trillion degrees Celsius by smashing gold particles which created a 7-10 trillion degrees Fahrenheit reaction (~4 trillion degrees Celsius, which is hotter than a supernova explosion), which is just an astounding achievement for the human race as a whole. Nevertheless, what they created is truly the thin...
 Apologies for the late upload schedule! I know it has been a while until the last post was uploaded, however I am working on a large post going over the Quark Gluon Plasma and what it is, which explores more in-depth about Quarks, Gluons, and Plasmas, along with them all being made up into the new state of matter which is QGP. But I believe this post should come out by Wednesday 14th, 2020 due to the workload. Thank you for your patience!

The Wonders of Energy: Why isn't "cold" a thing? How do other compounds, mixtures, and materials make something 'colder' like glycol?

The Wonders of Energy: Why isn't "cold" a thing? How do other compounds, mixtures, and materials make something 'colder' like glycol? By: Ian Davis -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Introduction: I'm sad to ruin your childhood, but 'cold' is just a term, and not really a thing in and of itself. I used to thing that 'cold' was just tiny particles shaped like little snowflakes that would make something cooler, however, as soon as I got into middle school, I learned that 'cold' is just the absence of heat. Now I love knowing the "ins-and-outs" of this little definition (including thermal equilibrium don't worry) but nevertheless always had questions about one particular thing, how do certain compounds, mixtures, and materials make something 'colder' and why is that their natural property? We are used to understanding that if...

The Sub-Atomic Wonders: How do quarks in the nucleus of an atom (specifically the neutron) produce a nuclear "glue" AKA a nuclear force, and how does that obey the Law of Conservation of Mass?

The Sub-Atomic Wonders: How do quarks in the nucleus of an atom (specifically the neutron) produce a nuclear "glue" AKA a nuclear force, and how does that obey the Law of Conservation of Mass?  By: Ian Davis ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Introduction:  As I was browsing the internet in search of fun facts and knowledge, I came across a interesting device called: a thermoelectric generator, more specifically a RTG (Radioisotope Thermoelectric Generator, ugh I know big words am I right?) and I was looking on how it utilizes the Seebeck Effect in order to produce a fair amount of energy. However I was more interested in the fuel it utilizes, Plutonium-238, a radioactive isotope capable of a half-life of about ~87.7 years which is pretty awesome. But my curiosity did not stop there, and my brain went through a million year old conniption, how the heck do neutrons work? and why do the a...
 Welcome to Inquiries About Us. Here we will talk about and describe the wonders of the universe (including astrophysics, chemistry, biochemistry, biology, microbiology, physics, quantum physics, and so much more) all relating to the fields of science. In this blog, I will try my best and attempt to communicate hard-to-learn subjects into a more understandable fashion to study and learn for all types of people like students, teachers, or just the simple curious person. My formats of my blogs will have the question stated, my initial thoughts before studying, my thoughts and knowledge after studying the subjects and then head right into the easier way to communicate this subject through simple language and common examples. All of my sources will be cited from a serious and credible site (.gov,.edu,.mil,.org) unless stated or shown. Feel free to discuss anything or even correct me in a nice and calm demeanor, any insults to one another including me will not be tolerated as this is a ...
