About Me

Welcome to The Curious Physicist!

Hi, I’m Mriganka, the creator of this blog. My passion for physics and curiosity about the universe led me to start this platform where I share engaging and easy-to-understand explanations of fundamental physics concepts.

Why This Blog Exists?

Through this blog, I aim to make physics feel simple, fascinating, and approachable. Not a pile of equations, not a textbook marathon—but a journey of curiosity. I want to show you that physics is not about memorization. It’s about wonder. It's not just formulas, it’s a way of seeing the world.  Whether you're a student, an enthusiast, or just curious about how the universe works, you're in the right place.

Feel free to explore my posts and reach out if you have questions or suggestions!

Is it Possible to Make Arc Reactor in Real Life?

Why the Arc Reactor Captures Our Imagination You know how every superhero has that one signature thing? For Batman, it’s the bat signal lighting up the night sky. For Captain America, it’s that unbeatable shield. But for Iron Man… it’s that glowing circle right in the middle of his chest — the Arc Reactor. It’s not just a slick design choice or some sci-fi decoration. The Arc Reactor actually taps into something way deeper.  Something we humans have been chasing for centuries: a compact, limitless, and clean source of power. But let’s pause for a second. Could Tony Stark’s glowing arc reactor ever exist outside of comic books and the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU)? I mean, Can you really fit a nuclear power plant into something smaller than a dinner plate... and then strap it to your chest without instantly cooking yourself alive in the process? That’s the question that’s been bugging me—and today, we’re going to dive right into it. By the end, you’ll see that the Arc Reactor isn...

Is Schrödinger’s Cat Dead or Alive? The Quantum Paradox Explained

Think of a vial of poison, a radioactive atom, and a cat, inside a sealed box. What comes to your mind first? A very unlucky cat. Yes, that's Schrödinger's cat. Inside the box, quantum rules dictate the cat's fate. Is that cat survive the situation? Is the cat alive or dead? This thought experiment isn't about animal cruelty. This is about how strange quantum physics becomes when we compare it with our everyday world. For a long time, this thought experiment was wrongly understood. By the end of this article, you'll know what this experiment says and what not. What is Schrödinger’s Cat? Schrödinger’s Cat is a thought experiment proposed by Erwin Schrödinger to illustrate a paradox of quantum superposition by tying a cat's fate to a random subatomic event that may or may not occur. Quantum mechanics says atoms can exist in a superposition state, i.e., it can be in multiple states simultaneously - both decayed and undecayed, until we measure it.  By extending thi...

Why Does Time Flow Forward? The Arrow of Time Explained

Introduction — The Everyday Mystery of Time Imagine you drop a glass on the floor. It shatters into hundreds of tiny pieces. You sweep it up, sighing at the mess. But here’s a question: why doesn’t the reverse ever happen? Why don’t the shards suddenly leap together and reform into the glass? After all, the laws of physics don’t forbid it. We’ve all seen something like this in the movies. Christopher Nolan’s  Tenet , where people move  backward  through time.  Doctor Strange , bending time like it’s a rubber band.  Arrival , where time unfolds in ways that break your brain. These stories mess with your head — and that’s part of the fun! But here’s the real kicker: This everyday observation points to one of the deepest mysteries in science: time always flows forward, never backward. But why? Time feels like it’s constantly flowing, like a river carrying us forward whether we like it or not. But is it really flowing? Or is something else going on? T...
