About

Are you curious about how the world works?  Why the sky is blue?  How plants photosynthesize?  How antennas work?  What principles a particle accelerator exploits?  What a Turing Machine is?  How computers work?  We started this blog to simply and yet correctly describe various worldly phenomena.  Our motivation is to help you discover something new about the world or to see something in a new and interesting manner.  The blog is written to be read by a curious non-expert with basic understanding of science and technology.  Topics on this blog will range from computer science to theoretical physics to cognitive psychology.
