Journey into the heart of quantum physics as Subatomic Tanvi explores the enigmatic Black Body. Discover how this seemingly simple theoretical object, capable of absorbing all light and emitting radiation based solely on its temperature, challenged classical physics to its core. Unravel the mystery of Black Body Radiation and its profound implications, as we delve into Max Planck's groundbreaking formula and the revolutionary concept of quantization. It's a lighthearted and enlightening exploration of how the Black Body paved the way for the quantum revolution, leaving classical physics in its wake.

Ever wished you could tickle a friend in another room without even being there? While that might remain a dream, the quantum world offers something even stranger: entanglement. Join us as we delve into this mind-boggling phenomenon, where particles linked across vast distances act as if they're communicating faster than the speed of light. We'll unravel the concepts of locality and realism, exploring how entanglement challenges our fundamental understanding of the universe. Get ready for a laughter-filled journey through the quantum realm, where logic takes a back seat and the universe reveals its playful side.

Dive into 1935 and grapple with Einstein himself! In this episode, Tanvi tackles the "EPR Paradox," a thought experiment that challenged the very foundations of quantum mechanics. Imagine two entangled particles, linked across vast distances. Measure one, and its partner instantly flips its spin – but how? Einstein called it "spooky action at a distance," suggesting secrets hidden within the theory. Was he right? Does information truly travel faster than light? Buckle up for a cosmic chase as we dissect the paradox, explore "hidden variables," and ultimately witness the triumph of quantum entanglement, a phenomenon defying even Einstein's intuition. Are you ready to bend the universe's speed limit? Tune in and find out!

Ever wonder what lies beneath the protons and neutrons you learned about in school? In this episode, Tanvi delves into the mind-blowing world of quarks, the universe's true fundamental building blocks. We'll crack open the mysteries of these tiny titans, revealing their quirky names, their surprising role in shaping everything around us, and the hidden forces that bind them together. This is a journey into the heart of matter, where the smallest of particles hold the biggest secrets and we also touch upon the enigmatic electrons, leaving you questioning what truly makes up the smallest imaginable particles and eager to explore the invisible architects of our universe. 

In this episode, Tanvi dives into the counterintuitive world of quantum mechanics, where Newton's classical laws don't quite hold up. We explore how subatomic particles like photons behave as both particles and waves, defying determinism with the Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle. The double slit experiment demonstrates superposition, showcasing that particles can be in multiple states at once. This hints at the spooky connection of quantum entanglement, where one particle is inexplicably linked to another, regardless of distance. Get ready to have your mind blown by the weird and wonderful world of the subatomic!

Embark on a captivating journey into the enigmatic realm of Quantum Entanglement, a phenomenon that has baffled and intrigued scientists for decades. Join Tanvi, your guide to the subatomic world, as she unravels the complexities of this mind-bending concept using a simple analogy of two special socks that are always connected, no matter how far apart they are. Discover how this phenomenon could revolutionize the way we communicate, enabling quantum long-distance communication. Delve into the depths of this scientific mystery as we grapple with the question that has puzzled scientists for years: Why does Quantum Entanglement occur?

Have you ever wondered how light can behave as both a wave and a particle? This mind-bending concept, known as wave-particle duality, is one of the most fascinating and counterintuitive aspects of quantum physics. In this podcast episode, we'll explore with Tanvi on this phenomenon in a fun and educational way, using simple real-world examples and experiments to help you grasp this intriguing concept.

In this episode, we're going to explore the mind-boggling world of quantum mechanics with a simple experiment to demonstrate Heisenberg's uncertainty principle. This fundamental principle states that the more precisely you measure a particle's position, the less accurately you can determine its momentum, and vice versa. It's a concept that has puzzled scientists for decades, but Tanvi breaks it down with an easy-to-follow experiment you can do at home using everyday items. Join us as we delve into the realm of quantum uncertainty and unravel the mysteries of the subatomic world.

In this episode, Tanvi simplifies the Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle such that both kids and adults will understand it well. Heisenberg's uncertainty principle is a fundamental law of quantum physics that states that it is impossible to know both the position and momentum of a particle with perfect accuracy. The more accurately you know one of these quantities, the less accurately you can know the other. I hope you have fun listening and learning.
