Physics is an offshoot of Science that deals with the discovery and delineation of the universal laws acting on energy, matter, time and space. It aims to provide a logical picture of nature in accord with experience. Physics has gone a long way-from the attempt to interpret physical phenomena like the movement of planets to more sophisticated areas like energy, momentum and atoms.

Albert Einstein and Niles Bohr are some of the prominent names in fully understanding what we call “Modern Physics.” These scientists dared to find answer to questions that seemed to be unanswerable. How fast does light travel? What will happen if the terrestrial poles melt?

Recently, U.S. astronomers discovered the presence of two supermassive black holes. A black hole is a curved space area where the gravitational field is so extreme that no radiation, no matter and not even light can penetrate. The theory of general relativity by Einstein overwhelms the concept of a black hole. According to him, the gravity that is present in a black hole is not the gravity that pulls down objects opposing Newton’s. Rather, it is a curvature of time and space brought about by the existence of a close massive object. Imagine something coming and moving past an extremely large object, it will look to be pulled toward it, but the truth is, it is not. It is moving along the very line that it was going through in an empty space. This time, the straight line will appear like it is curved, due to the gravity’s distorting of the underlying the four-dimensional succession.

In Modern Physics, Black Holes and other strong sources of gravitational waves become easier to understand. The current models on how the universe was formed will be fortified. As time goes on, more seemingly unfathomable events will happen but this time there is a field that could readily explore and explain.
