Science is a systematic enterprise that builds and organizes knowledge in the form of
testable explanations and predictions about the nature. This booklet is designed to place
less emphasis on factual material and greater emphasis on the understanding and
application of scientific concepts and principles. This booklet has been designed in
recognition of the need for students to develop skills that will be of long term value in an
increasingly technological world rather than focusing on large quantities of factual
material which may have only short term relevance.
My brain is only a receiver, in the
Universe there is a core from which we
obtain knowledge, strength and
inspiration. I have not penetrated into
the secrets of this core, but I know that
it exists.
― Nikola Tesla

Important Formulas in Algebra
(a + b) 2 = a2 + 2ab + b2
a2 + b2 = (a + b)2 − 2ab
(a − b)2 = a2 − 2ab + b2
a2 + b2 = (a − b)2 + 2ab
(a + b + c) 2 = a2 + b2 + c2 + 2(ab + bc + ca)
(a + b) 3 = a3 + b3 + 3ab (a + b)
a3 + b3 = (a + b) 3 − 3ab (a + b)
(a − b)3 = a3 − b3 − 3ab (a − b)
a3 − b3 = (a − b) 3 + 3ab (a − b)
a2 − b2 = (a + b) (a − b)
a3 − b3 = (a − b) (a2 + ab + b2)
a3 + b3 = (a + b) (a2 − ab + b2)
a4 – b4 = (a2 – b2) (a2 + b2) = (a + b) (a + b) (a2 + b2)
a4 + b4 = (a2 + b2) 2 – 2a2 b2 = (a2 + √2ab + b2) (a2 – √2ab + b2)
a5 + b5 = (a + b) (a4 – a3b + a2b2 – ab3 + b4 )
a5 – b5 = (a – b) (a4 + a3b + a2b2 + ab3 + b4)
an − bn = (a − b) (an−1 + an−2 b + an−3 b2 + ··· + bn−1n−1)

(a + b + c) 2 = a2 + b2 + c2 + 2 (ab + bc + ca)
a3 + b3 + c3 – 3abc = (a + b + c) (a2 + b2 + c2 – ab – bc – ca)
If a + b + c = 0, then the above identity reduces to a3 + b3 + c3 = 3abc
Roots of Quadratic Equation
For a quadratic equation ax2 + bx + c where a ≠ 0, the roots will be given by the equation as:
𝑥=
−b ± √b 2 − 4ac
2a
Δ = b2 − 4ac is called the discrimination
For real and distinct roots, Δ > 0
For real and coincident roots, Δ = 0
For non-real roots, Δ < 0
If α and β are the two roots of the equation ax2 + bx + c then,
α+β=
α×β=
−b
𝑎

a
If the roots of a quadratic equation are α and β, the equation will be (x − α) (x − β) = 0

Vector Algebra
If i, j, k are orthonormal vectors and A = Axi + Ay j + Azk then |A|2 = Ax2 + Ay2 + Az2.
13
Scalar product
A ∙ B = |A| |B| cosθ where θ is the angle between the vectors.
Scalar multiplication is commutative: A ∙ B = B ∙ A.
Vector product
A × B = n |A| |B| sinθ, where θ is the angle between the vectors and n is a unit vector
normal to the plane containing A and B in the direction for which A, B, n form a righthanded set of axes.
Vector multiplication is not commutative: A×B = −B×A.
Scalar triple product
A × B ∙ C = A ∙B × C
Vector triple product
A × (B × C) = (A ∙ C) B − (A ∙ B) C
(A×B) × C = (A ∙ C) B − (B ∙ C) A
Angles on the inside of any triangle add up to 180◦
The length of one side of any triangle is always less than the sum
and more than the difference of the lengths of the other two sides.
If two lines intersect, the sum of the resulting four angles equals
360.

Quadrilaterals
The diagonals of a square bisect one another, forming four 90 degree angles
The diagonals of a rhombus bisect one another, forming four 90 degree angles
The perimeter of a rectangle is twice its height plus twice its length (or, the sum of all its
sides).
The area of a parallelogram can be found multiplying base × height (the base always
forms a right angle with the height).

Probabilities
Probability is a representation of the odds of something happening. A probability of 1 is
guaranteed to happen. A probability of 0 will never happen. 0.5 = there is a 50/50 chance the
event will occur.
Probability of an outcome happening =
number of desired outcomes
total number of possible outcomes
Probability of two independent outcomes both happening is
Probability of event A * probability of event B
e.g., Event A has a probability of
events happening is:

Combinations
20
Possible combinations = number of element A * number of element B * number of
element C….
e.g., In a cafeteria, there are 3 different dessert options, 2 different entree options, and 4 drink
options. How many different lunch combinations are possible, using one drink, one, dessert, and
one entree?
The total combinations possible = 3 * 2 * 4 = 24
Fundamental Counting Principle:
If an event can happen in N ways, and another, independent event can happen in M ways, and
then both events together can happen in N × M ways.

Probability that event A will happen:
P (A) =
Number of outcomes where A occurs
Total number of outcomes
P (event happens) + P (event does not happen) = 1
21
Mutually exclusive events:
Two events are mutually exclusive if they can't happen together: P (A and B) = 0
Events A and B (if they are independent events):
P (A and B) = P (A) × P (B)
Events A or B:
A happens, B happens, or both A and B happen.
P (A or B) = P (A) + P (B) – P (A and B)
Events A and B (if A and B are dependent events):
P (A and B) = P (A) × P (B | A)
P (B | A) is the probability that B occurs given that A occurs.
Number of ways to follow a rule = number of ways to ignore the rule – number of ways to break the rule.

on opening both the pipes, the net part of the tank filled in 1 hour is ( x − y )
Time and Distance
Suppose a man covers a distance at 'x' kmph and an equal distance at 'y' kmph, then average speed during
his whole journey is [
2xy
x+y
] kmph
Trains
Lengths of trains are 'x' km and 'y' km, moving at 'u' kmph and 'v' kmph (where u > v) in the same
direction, then the time taken y the over-taker train to cross the slower train is [
27

Time taken to cross each other is [
If two trains start at the same time from two points A and B towards each other and after crossing they take
u+ v
] hrs
a and b hours in reaching B and A respectively. Then, A's speed : B's speed = (√b : √a).
Boats and Streams
If the speed of a boat in still water is u km/hr and the speed of the stream is v km/hr, then:
Speed downstream = (u + v) km/hr.
Speed upstream = (u − v) km/hr.
If the speed downstream is a km/hr and the speed upstream is b km/hr, then:
1
Speed in still water = (a + b) km/hr.

Rate of stream = 2 (a −b) km/hr.
Mixtures and Alligations
Alligation: It is the rule that enables us to find the ratio in which two or more ingredients at the given price
must be mixed to produce a mixture of desired price.
Mean Price: The cost of a unit quantity of the mixture is called the mean price.
Rule of Alligation:
If two ingredients are mixed, then
Quantity of cheaper
Quantity of dearer
Cost Price of dearer – Mean Price
= Mean
price – Cost Price of cheaper
Where a is the original quantity, b is the quantity that is replaced and n is the number of times the
replacement process is carried out, then
Quantity of original entity after n operation
Quantity of mixture

Compound Interest Formula
The formula for calculating compound interest in a year is:
Compound interest = [P (1 + i) n] − P
where:
P = principal amount
i = interest rate in percentage terms
n = number of compounding periods for a year

Fundamental Theorem of Arithmetic:
Every integer greater than 1 can be factored uniquely into a product of prime numbers
For example:
4312 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 7 × 7 × 11
Euclid's lemma: If a prime number divides a product of two numbers, it must divide at least one
of the numbers.
Stewart's Theorem:
If a, b and c are the lengths of the sides of a triangle. If d is the length of the cevian of the side of
the length a. Suppose this cevian divides the side 'a' into 2 segments of the length m and n, where
m is adjacent to the side c and whereas n is adjacent to the side b, then
b2m + c2 n = a (d2 + mn)

0 is an Even Number
6 is the Smallest Perfect Number
The Number Pi (the ratio of the circumference to the diameter
of a circle) is Irrational
If we multiply a number by 9 and add all the digits of the new number together, the sum will always add
up to 9. For example:
8 × 9 = 72
7+2=9
4 × 9 = 36
3+6=9

Formulas in Chemistry
Ideal Gas Law
The ideal gas law is given by:
PV = nRT
where:
P: the absolute pressure of the gas
V: volume of the gas
n: number of moles, which is the ratio of mass and molar mass
R: universal gas constant, which is R = 8.3145 J mol−1 K−1
T: the absolute temperature
Henry's Law
Henry's law is given by:
p=K· x
where:
p: partial pressure of the solute
K: Henry's constant
Raoult's Law
195
205
20
Raoult's law is given by:
pi = xi ∙ pi*
where:
pi : pressure of component i
xi : mole fraction in the solution
pi *: vapor pressure of the pure substance i
In a solution with two liquids A and B, if no gas are present, the total vapor pressure is given by:
Ptot = PA + PB
where:
PA: vapor pressure of liquid A
PB: vapor pressure of liquid B
For an ideal solution of liquids A and B, which obeys Raoult's law over the full range of composition. The total
pressure is given by:
ptot = xA pA* + xB pB*
which is equal to:
ptot = (1− xB) pA* + xB pB*
or
ptot = pA* + xB (pB*− pA*)
Hess' Law
Hess' Law can be expressed in 3 ways and they are:
For enthalpy we have:
∆H = ∑ ∆Hproducts − ∑ ∆Hreactants
For entropy we have:
∆S = ∑ ∆Sproducts − ∑ ∆Sreactants
196
206
For Gibbs' free energy we have:
∆G = ∑ ∆GOproducts − ∑ ∆GOreactants
Acid and Base
For a chemical reaction:
A + H2O ↔ H3O+ + B
where:
A: acid
B: base
To determine the strength of the acid, we use the acid dissociation constant, which is given by:
KA =
For a chemical reaction:
[H3 O+ ][B]
[A]
B + H2O ↔ A + HO−
where:
A: acid
B: base
To determine the strength of the base, we use the base dissociation constant, which is given by:
KB =
[OH− ][A]
[B]
pH
pH = −log10[H+]
H2O ↔ H+ + OH−
197
207
The dissociation constant:
K=
[H+ ][OH− ]
Here [H2O] is constant, So, K [H2O] = [H+] [OH−] = Kw
[H2 O]
Kw is an ionic product of water and its value is 1×10−14 at 25°C.
[H+] [OH−] = 1×10−14
Pure water dissociates completely and has equal concentration. Thus [H+] = [OH−]
[H+] [H+] = 1×10−14
[H+] = 10−7
pH = 7
Thus, pure water is a neutral solution having pH equal to 7.0.
Acidic soution pH < 7
Basic solution pH > 7
Types of Chemical Reaction
Synthesis
In a synthesis reaction, two or more simple substances combine to form a more complex substance.
A+B → AB
"Two or more reactants giving one product" is another way to identify a synthesis reaction. One example of a
synthesis reaction is the combination of iron and sulfur to form iron (II) sulfide:
8Fe + S8→ 8FeS
198
208
Another example is simple hydrogen gas combined with simple oxygen gas to produce a more complex substance,
such as water.
Decomposition
A decomposition reaction is when a more complex substance breaks down into its more simple parts. It is thus the
opposite of a synthesis reaction, and can be written as:
AB → A+B
One example of a decomposition reaction is the electrolysis of water to make oxygen and hydrogen gas:
2H2O → 2H2 +O2
Single replacement
In a single replacement reaction, a single uncombined element replaces another in a compound; in other words, one
element trades places with another element in a compound. These reactions come in the general form of:
A+BC → AC+B
One example of a single displacement reaction is when magnesium replaces hydrogen in water to make magnesium
hydroxide and hydrogen gas:
Mg+2H2O →Mg (OH) 2 +H2
Double replacement
In a double replacement reaction, the anions and cations of two compounds switch places and form two entirely
different compounds. These reactions are in the general form:
AB + CD → AD + CB
For example, when barium chloride (BaCl2) and magnesium sulfate (MgSO4) react, the SO4 2− anion switches places
with the 2Cl− anion, giving the compounds BaSO4 and MgCl2. Another example of a double displacement reaction
is the reaction of lead(II) nitrate with potassium iodide to form lead(II) iodide and potassium nitrate:
Pb (NO3) 2 + 2KI → PbI2 +2KNO3

Water expands as it freezes due to the hydrogen bonding in the water.
The taste cells in our taste buds live for only about two weeks.
There are 10 times more bacterial cells in our
body than human cells.
The human brain (made up of more than 100 billion nerves
that communicate in trillions of connections) uses just as
much power as a 10-watt light bulb.
An adult is made up of 7 octillion atoms.
We spend about five years of our lives eating.
Adult humans spend about 33% of their lives asleep. A python spends
about 75% of their life, and a dog spends about 44%.
We will eat approximately 35 tons of food in our lifetime.

NEWTON'S LAWS OF MOTION
Newton's First Law: An object continues in its state of rest or of uniform motion in a
straight line unless acted upon by an external force.
Newton's Second Law: A change in motion (acceleration) is proportional to the force
acting and takes place in the direction of the straight line along which the force acts.
Acting force = mass × acceleration caused
Newton's Third Law: To every action there is an equal and opposite reaction (or, if
object A exerts a force on object B, then object B exerts an equal, but oppositely-directed,
force on A).

The idea of Friedrich August Kekule von Stradonitz's dream helped
form the benzene structure.
The density of ice is 10% lower than that of water.
Hydrofluoric acid (a solution of hydrogen fluoride in water) is so
corrosive that it can dissolve glass.
Helium (a colorless, odorless, tasteless, non-toxic, inert, monatomic gas) can
be frozen only through pressure; not by cooling.
Graphene (an allotrope of carbon) is the best conductor of electricity and heat.

Qualitative Analysis of the Phytochemicals
Test for Carbohydrates: The presence of carbohydrates is confirmed when 2 ml of
extract is treated with 1 ml of Molisch's reagent and few drops of concentrated sulphuric
acid which results in the formation of purple or reddish color.
Test for Tannins: To 1 ml of extract, 2 ml of 5% ferric chloride is added. Formation of
dark blue or greenish black indicates the presence of tannins.
Test for Saponins: 2 ml of extract, 2 ml of distilled water are added and shaken in a
graduated cylinder for 15 min lengthwise. It results in the formation of 1 cm layer of
foam that indicates the presence of saponins.
Test for Alkaloids: To 2 ml of extract, 2 ml of concentrated hydrochloric acid is added.
Then few drops of Mayer's reagent are added. Presence of green color or white
precipitate indicates the presence of alkaloids.
Test for Flavonoids: To 2 ml of extract, 1 ml of 2N sodium hydroxide is added.
Presence of yellow color indicates the presence of flavonoids.
Test for Glycosides: To 2 ml of extract, 3ml of chloroform and 10% ammonia solution is
added. Formation of pink color indicates presence of glycosides.
Test for Quinones: To 1 ml of extract, 1 ml of concentrated sulphuric acid is added.
Formation of red color indicates presence of quinones.
Test for Phenols: 2 ml of distilled water followed by few drops of 10% ferric chloride is
added to 1ml of the extract. Formation of blue or green color indicates presence of
phenols.
321
314
Test for Terpenoids: 0.5 ml of the extract is treated with 2 ml of chloroform and conc.
sulphuric acid. Formation of red brown colour at the interface indicates the presence of
terpenoids.
Test for Cardiac Glycosides: To 0.5 ml of the extract, 2 ml of glacial acetic acid and
few drops of ferric chloride are added. This is under layered with 1 ml of conc. sulphuric
acid. Formation of brown ring at the interface indicates the presence of cardiac
glycosides.
Ninhydrin Test: To 2 ml of the extract few drops of 0.2% ninhydrin reagent is added
and heated for 5 min. Formation of blue colour indicates the presence of amino acids.
Test for Coumarins: 1 ml of 10% sodium hydroxide is added to 1ml of the extract.
Formation of yellow colour indicates the presence of coumarins.
Anthraquinones: To 1 ml of extract few drops of 10% ammonia solution is added,
appearance of pink color precipitate indicates the presence of anthraquinones
Steroids: To 1 ml of extract equal volume of chloroform is added and a few drops of
concentrated sulphuric acid added appearance of brown ring indicates the presence of
steroids and appearance of bluish brown ring indicates the presence of phytosteroids.
Test for Phlobatannins: Few drops of 2% hydrochloric acid are added to 1ml of the
extract. Appearance of red colour precipitate indicates the presence of phlobatannins.
Anthracyanine: To 1 ml of the extract is added 1 mL 2N sodium hydroxide and heated
for 5 min at 100 °C. Formation of bluish green color indicates the presence of
anthocyanin.

Antibody isotypes of mammals
Class Subclasses
IgA
2
Description
Found in mucosal areas, such as the gut, respiratory
tract and urogenital tract, and prevents colonization
by pathogens. Also found in saliva, tears, and breast milk.
IgD
1
Functions mainly as an antigen receptor on B cells that have not
been exposed to antigens. It has been shown to
activate basophils and mast cells to produce antimicrobial factors.
IgE
1
Binds to allergens and triggers histamine release from mast
cells and basophils, and is involved in allergy. Also protects
against parasitic worms.
IgG
4
In its four forms, provides the majority of antibody-based immunity
against invading pathogens. The only antibody capable of crossing
the placenta to give passive immunity to the fetus.
IgM
1
Expressed on the surface of B cells (monomer) and in a secreted
form (pentamer) with very high avidity. Eliminates pathogens in the
early stages of B cell-mediated (humoral) immunity before there is
sufficient IgG.
378

Thermodynamics of the universe:
0 = dQ = dU + PdV
dU = − PdV
where Q is the total heat which is assumed to be constant, U is the internal energy of the matter
and radiation in the universe, P is the pressure and V the volume.
Energy density u =

whereas for matter p << u and the pressure can be neglected. Thus we get:
For radiation
du = − 4u

center of the object, but is actually a Schwarzschild coordinate), and
c is the speed of light.
Hubble's law:

Ω = 0: empty universe
Ω < 1: expansion overcomes gravity; universe expands forever
Ω = 1: critical density; mass is just enough to stop it expanding but not enough to make it
recollapse
Ω > 1 : gravity overcomes expansion; universe recollapse
General relativity: Ω determines the curvature (k), or "shape", of the universe:
Ω = 1: flat universe, k = 0
385
378
Ω > 1: closed (or bound) universe, k = +1
Ω < 1: open (or unbound) universe, k = −1
The virial theorem relates the total kinetic energy of a self-gravitating body due to the motions
of its constituent parts, T to the gravitational potential energy, U of the body.

395

The Michaelis–Menten kinetics takes the form of an equation describing the rate of enzymatic

of a substrate S. Its formula is given by:

=

This equation is called the Michaelis–Menten equation. Here, vmax represents the maximum rate
achieved by the system, happening at saturating substrate concentration. The value of the
Michaelis constant Km is numerically equal to the substrate concentration at which the reaction
rate is half of vmax.

List of purification methods in chemistry
Affinity purification purifies proteins by retaining them on a column through their affinity
to antibodies, enzymes, or receptors that have been immobilised on the column.
Filtration is a mechanical method to separate solids from liquids or gases by passing the feed stream
through a porous sheet such as a cloth or membrane, which retains the solids and allows the liquid to
pass through.
Centrifugation is a process that uses an electric motor to spin a vessel of fluid at high speed to make
heavier components settle to the bottom of the vessel.
Evaporation removes volatile liquids from non-volatile solutes, which cannot be done through
filtration due to the small size of the substances.
Liquid–liquid extraction removes an impurity or recovers a desired product by dissolving the crude
material in a solvent in which other components of the feed material are soluble.
Crystallization separates a product from a liquid feed stream, often in extremely pure form, by
cooling the feed stream or adding precipitants that lower the solubility of the desired product so that it
forms crystals. The pure solid crystals are then separated from the remaining liquor by filtration or
centrifugation.
Recrystallization: In analytical and synthetic chemistry work, purchased reagents of doubtful purity
may be recrystallized, e.g. dissolved in a very pure solvent, and then crystallized, and the crystals
recovered, in order to improve and/or verify their purity.
448
447
Trituration removes highly soluble impurities from usually solid insoluble material by rinsing it
with an appropriate solvent.
Adsorption removes a soluble impurity from a feed stream by trapping it on the surface of a solid
material, such as activated carbon, that forms strong non-covalent chemical bonds with the impurity.
Chromatography employs continuous adsorption and desorption on a packed bed of a solid to purify
multiple components of a single feed stream. In a laboratory setting, mixture of dissolved materials
are typically fed using a solvent into a column packed with an appropriate adsorbent, and due to
different affinities for solvent (moving phase) versus adsorbent (stationary phase) the components in
the original mixture exit the column in the moving phase at different rates, which thus allows to
selectively collect desired materials out of the initial mixture.
Smelting produces metals from raw ore, and involves adding chemicals to the ore and heating it up to
the melting point of the metal.
Refining is used primarily in the petroleum industry, whereby crude oil is heated and separated into
stages according to the condensation points of the various elements.
Distillation is widely used in petroleum refining and in purification of ethanol separates volatile
liquids on the basis of their relative volatilities. There is several type of distillation: simple
distillation, steam distillation etc.
Water purification combines a number of methods to produce potable or drinking water.
Downstream processing refers to purification of chemicals, pharmaceuticals and food ingredients
produced by fermentation or synthesized by plant and animal tissues, for example antibiotics, citric
acid, vitamin E, and insulin.
Fractionation refers to a purification strategy in which some relatively inefficient purification
method is repeatedly applied to isolate the desired substance in progressively greater purity.
Electrolysis refers to the breakdown of substances using an electric current. This removes impurities
in a substance that an electric current is run through
Sublimation is the process of changing of any substance (usually on heating) from a solid to a gas
(or from gas to a solid) without passing through liquid phase. In terms of purification - material is
heated, often under vacuum, and the vapors of the material are then condensed back to a solid on a
cooler surface. The process thus in its essence is similar to distillation, however the material which is
condensed on the cooler surface then has to be removed mechanically, thus requiring different
laboratory equipment.
Bioleaching is the extraction of metals from their ores through the use of living organisms.

Physics Glossary
Absolute zero: The lowest possible temperature T, at which substances contain no heat energy
Q.
Acceleration: The rate at which the speed of an object is changing and it is given by the
equation a =
𝐝𝐯
𝐝𝐭
.
Anthropic principle: We see the universe the way it is because if it were different we would not
be here to observe it through a gigantic telescopes pointing deep into the immense sky – merely
stating that the constants of nature must be tuned to allow for intelligence (otherwise we would
not be here). Some believe that this is the sign of a cosmic creator. Others believe that this is a
sign of the multiverse.
Antiparticle: Each type of matter particle has a corresponding antiparticle – first predicted to
exist by P. A. M. Dirac. When a particle collides with its antiparticle, they annihilate, leaving
only pure energy in the form of discrete bundle (or quantum) of electromagnetic (or light) energy
called photons.
Atom: The basic unit of ordinary matter, made up of a tiny nucleus (consisting of positively
charged protons and electrically neutral neutrons – which obey the strong interactions)
surrounded by orbiting negatively charged weakly interacting particles called the electrons.
Big Bang: The singularity at the beginning of the universe. The titanic explosion that created the
universe, sending the galaxies hurtling in all directions. When the universe was created, the
temperature was extremely hot, and the density of material was enormous i.e., infinite. The big
bang took place 13.7 billion years ago, according to the WMAP satellite. The afterglow of the
big bang is seen today as the cosmic background microwave radiation (of temperature 2.7 degrees
above absolute zero). There are three experimental "proofs" of the big bang: the redshift of
the galaxies, the cosmic background microwave radiation, and nucleosynethsis of the elements.
Big crunch: The singularity at the end of the universe i.e., The final collapse of the universe. If
the density of matter is large enough (Omega – The parameter that measures the average density
of matter in the universe – being larger than 1), then there is enough matter in the universe to
reverse the original expansion and cause the universe to recollapse. Temperatures rise to infinity
at the instant of the big crunch.
Big freeze: The end of the universe when it reaches near absolute zero. The big freeze is probably
the final state of our universe, because the sum of Omega and Lambda is believed to be 1.0, and
450
449
hence the universe is in a state of inflation. There is not enough matter and energy to reverse the
original expansion of the universe, so it will probably expand forever.
Big Bang nucleosynthesis: The production of deuterium, Helium-3 and Helium-4 (the latter to
about 25% mass fraction) in the first 500 to 1000 sec of the early universe. These light isotopes,
plus measurable amounts of lithium-7 and trace amounts of elements B, Be, are the result of nonequilibrium nuclear reactions as the universe cooled to about 10 to the power of 8 K. Heavier
isotopes were produced in stellar nucleosynthesis.
Black hole: A region of space-time from which nothing, not even light, can escape, because
gravity is so strong and escape velocity equals the speed of light. Because the speed of light is the
ultimate velocity in the universe, this means that nothing can escape a black hole, once an object
has crossed the event horizon. Black holes can be of various sizes. Galactic black holes, lurking
in the center of galaxies and quasars, can weight millions to billions of solar masses. Stellar black
holes are the remnant of a dying star, perhaps originally up to forty times the mass of our Sun.
Both of these black holes have been identified with our instruments. Mini–black holes may also
exist, as predicted by theory, but they have not yet been seen in the laboratory conditions.
Black Hole Escape Velocity: It is widely held by astrophysicists and astronomers that a black
hole has an escape velocity c (or c, the speed of light in Vacuum). Chandrasekhar [Nobel
laureate] remarked,
"Let me be more precise as to what one means by a black hole. One says that a black hole is
formed when the gravitational forces on the surface become so strong that light cannot escape
from it. ... A trapped surface is one from which light cannot escape to infinity."
According to Hawking,
"Eventually when a star has shrunk to a certain critical radius, the gravitational field at the surface
becomes so strong that the light cones are bent inward so much that the light can no longer
escape. According to the theory of relativity, nothing can travel faster than light. Thus, if light
cannot escape, neither can anything else. Everything is dragged back by the gravitational field. So
one has a set of events, a region of space-time from which it is not possible to escape to reach a
distant observer. Its boundary is called the event horizon. It coincides with the paths of the light
rays that just fail to escape from the black hole."
A neutron star has a radius of about ten miles, only a few times the critical radius at which a star
becomes a black hole.
451
450
"I had already discussed with Roger Penrose the idea of defining a black hole as a set of events
from which it is not possible to escape to a large distance. It means that the boundary of the black
hole, the event horizon, is formed by rays of light that just fail to get away from the black hole.
Instead, they stay forever hovering on the edge of the black hole."
However, according to the alleged properties of a black hole, nothing at all can even leave the
black hole. In the very same paper Chandrasekhar made the following quite typical
contradictory assertion:
"The problem we now consider is that of the gravitational collapse of a body to a volume so small
that a trapped surface forms around it; as we have stated, from such a surface no light can
emerge."
Hughes reiterates,
"Things can go into the horizon (from r > 2M to r < 2M), but they cannot get out; once inside, all
causal trajectories (time-like or null) take us inexorably into the classical singularity at r = 0."
The defining property of black holes is their event horizon. Rather than a true surface, black holes
have a 'one-way membrane' through which stuff can go in but cannot come out.
Taylor and Wheeler assert,
"... Einstein predicts that nothing, not even light, can be successfully launched outward from the
horizon ... and that light launched outward EXACTLY at the horizon will never increase its radial
position by so much as a millimeter."
Zero point Energy: an intrinsic and unavoidable part of quantum physics. The ZPE has been
studied, both theoretically and experimentally, since the discovery of quantum mechanics in the
1920s and there can be no doubt that the ZPE is a real physical effect.
Casimir effect: The attractive pressure between two flat, parallel metal plates placed very near to
each other in a vacuum. The pressure is due to a reduction in the usual number of virtual
particles in the space between the plates. This tiny effect has been measured in the laboratory.
The Casimir effect may be used as the energy to drive a time machine or wormhole, if its
energy is large enough.
Chandrasekhar limit: The maximum possible mass of a stable cold star (i.e., 1.4 solar masses),
above which it must collapse into a black hole.
452
451
Conservation of energy: The law of science that states that energy (or its equivalent in mass) can
neither be created nor destroyed i.e., they never change with time. For example, the conservation
of matter and energy posits that the total amount of matter and energy in the universe is a
constant.
Coordinates: Numbers that specify the position of a point in 4 dimensional space-time.
Cosmological constant: A mathematical parameter (which measures the amount of dark energy
in the universe) introduced by Albert Einstein to give space-time an inbuilt tendency to expand.
At present, the data supports density parameter + cosmological constant = 1, which fits the
prediction of inflation for a flat universe. Cosmological constant, which was once thought to be
zero, is now known to determine the ultimate destiny of the universe.
Cosmology: The study of the universe as a whole.
COBE: The Cosmic Observer Background Explorer satellite.
Dark matter: Invisible Matter usually found in a huge halo around galaxies, clusters, and
possibly between clusters, that cannot be observed directly but can be detected by its gravitational
effect and they does not interact with light. As much as 90 percent of the mass of the universe
may be in the form of dark matter and they makes up 23 percent of the total matter/energy content
of the universe. According to string theory, dark matter may be made of subatomic particles, such
as the neutralino, which represent higher vibrations of the superstring.
Duality: A correspondence between apparently different theories that lead to the same physical
results.
Einstein-Rosen bridge: A thin tube of space-time linking two black holes.
Electric charge: A property of a particle by which it may repel (or attract) other particles that
have a charge of similar (or opposite) sign.
Electromagnetic force: The force of electricity and magnetism that arises between particles
with electric charge; the second strongest of the four fundamental forces – which
obeys Maxwell's equations.
Electron: A negatively charged subatomic particle with negative electric charge that orbits
the nucleus of an atom and determines the chemical properties of the atom.
Electroweak unification energy: The energy (around 100 GeV) above which the distinction
between the electromagnetic force and the weak force disappears.
Elementary particle: A particle that, it is believed fundamental building block of Nature, cannot
be subdivided and are not composed of other simpler particles.
453
452
Event: A point in space-time, specified by its time and place.
Event horizon: The boundary of a black hole. The point of no return, often called the horizon.
Exclusion principle: The idea that two identical spin-1/2 particles cannot have (within the limits
set by the uncertainty principle) both the same position and the same velocity. This means that
two electrons cannot occupy precisely the same point with the same properties, so that there is a
net force pushing the electrons apart (in addition to electrostatic repulsion).
Field: Something that exists throughout 4 dimensional fabric of space -time, as opposed to a
particle that exists at only one point at a time.
Frequency: For a wave, the number of complete cycles per second.
Gamma rays: Electromagnetic rays of very short wavelength, produced in radio-active
decay or by collisions of elementary particles.
General relativity: Einstein's theory of gravity based on the idea that the laws of science
should be the same for all observers, no matter how they are moving. It explains the force of
gravity in terms of the curvature of a four dimensional space-time; so that the curvature of spacetime gives the illusion that there is a force of attraction called gravity. It has been verified
experimentally to better than 99.7 percent accuracy and predicts the existence of black holes and
the expanding universe. The theory, however, break down at the center of a black hole or the
instant of creation, where the theory predicts nonsense. To explain these phenomena, one must
resort to a theory of subatomic physics.
Geodesic: The shortest (or longest) path between two points.
Grand unification energy: The energy above which, it is believed, the electromagnetic force,
weak force, and strong force become indistinguishable from each other.
Grand unified theory (GUT): A theory which unifies the electromagnetic, strong, and weak
forces (but not gravity). The proton is not stable in these theories and can decay into
positrons. GUT theories are inherently unstable (unless one adds super symmetry). GUT theories
also lack gravity. (Adding gravity to GUT theories makes them diverge with infinities.)
Imaginary time: Time measured using imaginary numbers.
Inflation: The theory which states that the universe underwent an incredible amount
of superliminal expansion at the instant of its birth i.e., A distance of one nanometer was
enlarged to a quarter of a billion light-years.
Hyperspace: Dimensions higher than four.
454
453
Light cone: A surface in space-time that marks out the possible directions for light rays passing
through a given event.
Light year: The distance light travels in one year, or approximately 5.88 trillion miles (9.46
trillion kilometers).
LIGO: The Laser Interferometry Gravitational-Wave Observatory, based in Washington state
and Louisiana,which is the world’s largest gravity wave detector.
LISA: The Laser Interferometry Space Antenna- which is a series of three space satellites using
laser beams to measure gravity waves. It is sensitive enough to confirm or disprove the
inflationary theory and possibly even string theory.
Magnetic field: The field responsible for magnetic forces, now incorporated along with
the electric field, into the electromagnetic field.
Muon: A subatomic particle identical to the electron but with a much larger mass. It belongs to
the second redundant generation of particles found in the Standard Model.
Mass: The quantity of matter in a body; its inertia, or resistance to acceleration.
Microwave background radiation: The remnant radiation (with a temperature of about 2.7
degrees K) from the glowing of the hot early universe (big bang), now so greatly red-shifted that
it appears not as light but as microwaves (radio waves with a wavelength of a few centimeters).
Tiny deviations in this background radiation give scientists valuable data that can verify or rule
out many cosmological theories.
Naked singularity: A space-time singularity not surrounded by a black hole.
Neutrino: An extremely light (possibly massless) subatomic particle that react very weakly with
other particles and may penetrate several light-years of lead without ever interacting with
anything and is affected only by the weak force and gravity.
Neutron: A neutral subatomic particle, very similar to the proton, which accounts for roughly
half the particles in an atomic nucleus.
Neutron star: A cold collapsed star consisting of a solid mass of neutrons — which is usually
about 10 to 15 miles across — supported by the exclusion principle repulsion between neutrons.
If the mass of the neutron stars exceeds (3- 4 solar masses) i.e., if the number of neutrons
becomes ≥ 5.9 × 10 57, then the degenerate neutron pressure will not be large enough to overcome
the gravitational contraction and the star collapses into the next stage called black holes.
No boundary condition: The idea that the universe is finite but has no boundary (rooted in
the Euclidean formalism) to account for the initial conditions in the big bang.
455
454
Nuclear fusion: The process by which two nuclei collide and coalesce to form a single, heavier
nucleus.
Nucleus: The tiny core of an atom, which is roughly 10
−13
cm across, consisting only of protons
and neutrons, held together by the strong force.
Particle accelerator: A machine — based in Geneva, Switzerland — that, using electromagnets,
can accelerate moving charged particles, giving them more energy.
Phase: For a wave, the position in its cycle at a specified time: a measure of whether it is at a
crest, a trough, or somewhere in between.
Photon: A quantum of light (which was first proposed by Einstein to explain the photoelectric
effect—that is, the fact that shining light on a metal results in the ejection of electrons).
Planck's quantum principle: The idea that light (or any other classical waves) can be emitted or
absorbed only in discrete quanta, whose energy E is proportional to their wavelength λ (i.e., E =
hc
).
λ
Positron: The (positively charged) antiparticle of the electron.
Primordial black hole: A black hole created in the very early universe.
Negative energy: Energy that is less than zero.
Proton: A positively charged subatomic particle, very similar to the neutron, that accounts for
roughly half the particles in the nucleus of most atoms. They are stable, but Grand Unification
theory predicts that they may decay over a long period of time.
Pulsar: A rotating neutron star that emits regular pulses of radio waves.
Quantum: The indivisible unit in which waves may be emitted or absorbed.
Quark: A subatomic particle that makes up the proton and neutron and feels the strong force.
Three quarks make up a proton or neutron, and a quark and antiquark pair makes up a meson.
Quantum chromodynamics (QCD): The theory that describes the interactions of quarks
and gluons.
Quantum mechanics: The theory developed from wave equations, Planck's quantum principle
and Heisenberg's uncertainty principle. No deviation from quantum mechanics has ever been
found in the laboratory. Its most advanced version today is called quantum field theory, which
combines special relativity and quantum mechanics. A fully quantum mechanical theory of
gravity, however, is exceedingly difficult.
456
455
Quasar: Quasi-stellar object. They are huge galaxies that were formed shortly after the gigantic
explosion called the big bang.
Quantum foam: Tiny, foam like distortions of 4 dimensional fabric of space-time at the level of
the Planck length.
Radioactivity: The spontaneous breakdown of one type of atomic nucleus into another.

Because, most stars are made up of more than one kind of particle and the gas inside the star is
ionized. There is no indication of these facts in the above equation. We need to change the ideal

When a wave source moves toward us, we will perceive waves with a shorter wavelength and
higher frequency than the waves emitted by the source.
When a wave source moves away from us, we will perceive waves with a longer wavelength and
lower frequency.
At the critical angle a wave will be refracted to 90 degrees. At angles larger than the critical
angle, light is reflected not refracted.

The wave nature of light was demonstrated convincingly for the first time in 1801 by Thomas
Young by a wonderfully simple experiment. He let a ray of sunlight into a dark room, placed a
dark screen in front of it, pierced with two small pinholes, and beyond this, at some distance, a
white screen. He then saw two darkish lines at both sides of a bright line, which gave him
sufficient encouragement to repeat the experiment, this time with spirit flame as light source,
with a little salt in it to produce the bright yellow sodium light. This time he saw a number of
dark lines, regularly spaced; the first clear proof that light added to light can produce darkness.
This phenomenon is called interference. Thomas Young had expected it because he believed in
the wave theory of light.

In Mathematics the art of proposing a
question must be held of higher value
than solving it.
― Georg Cantor
A mathematical proof should
resemble a simple and clear-cut
constellation, not a scattered
cluster in the Milky Way.
― G.H. Hardy

"{Replying to G. H. Hardy's suggestion that the number of a taxi (1729) was 'dull', showing
off his spontaneous mathematical genius}
No, it is a very interesting number; it is the smallest number expressible as a sum of two cubes in
two different ways, the two ways being 13 + 123 and 93 + 103."
— Srinivasa Ramanujan
