Muon detection provides experimental evidence for the phenomenon of time dilation as predicted by Einstein’s theory of relativity. Muons are subatomic particles that are created in the upper atmosphere when cosmic rays from outer space collide with particles in the… Continue Reading →

The first law of thermodynamics explains adiabatic cooling and the formation of contrails behind jet planes. During adiabatic processes, where there is no exchange of heat with the surroundings, gases rapidly expand and do work on the surroundings, converting their… Continue Reading →
