Laws of Physics Rewritten

First I apologize for not writing anything the past week, I’ve been busy with my other website, but now I’m back with science! Also thank to Soloistah for the support.

So, what’s this talk about rewriting the laws of physics? Well, one of the things that physics is all about is the atom, and now they discovered that one of the building blocks of the atom may be smaller in size than what they first thought. What does that mean? That means the laws of physics that you studied so hard at high school may be changed!

In a ten year experiment done in Germany researchers found that the proton is 4% smaller than what it was thought. That might sound small to you, but it’s bigger than what it sounds, and it means bigger changes to physics too. It means that there is something wrong in particle physics. What does that mean? That means that laws of physics we used to determine the elements that exist in galaxies, gas and dust are might be wrong.

This finding will open the door to new theories in physics that can mean big changes. Physicists around the world are going to start working on some serious calculations because of this finding. The world of physics is in a real shake-up.

Sea Dead Zones!

In April 20th of this year an an oil drilling rig exploded. The resulting fire could not be extinguished and, two days later, it sank, leaving the well gushing at the sea floor and causing the largest offshore oil spill in United States history known as the BP oil spill, BP stands for the name of the company that owned that oil drilling rig. Yet still not larger than the oil spill that happened in Kuwait in 1990 when Iraq set flame to the oil wells.

Now, due to the BP oil spill, scientists discovered dead zones where no marine life or fish can survive. In these dead zones there’s so little oxygen that fish would die if they come across it. In addition to that, fisherman say that they are noticing unsual movements of fish and shrimp, they have also reported more sightings of sharks near the shore. All of that is happening because of the BP oil spill, it has turned the sea into a danger zone.
