Calculating a journey to Mars with introductory physics
Jorge Pinochet
The problem of a crewed mission to Mars provides a compelling and realistic context for teaching introductory physics. In this work, we present a coherent set of calculations descr…
From Geometry to Gravity: A Friendly Introduction to the Schwarzschild Metric
Jorge Pinochet
The first exact solution to the field equations of general relativity was found by the German physicist and astronomer Karl Schwarzschild in 1916. Due to its simplicity and its var…
Networked Observatory for Virtual Astronomy (NOVA): Teaching astronomy with AI
Jorge Pinochet
The term artificial intelligence (AI) first appeared in the mid-20th century. It wasn't until well into the 21st century that AI began to flourish. Today, AI has found very diverse…
Hawking for everyone: Commemorating half a century of an unfinished scientific revolution
Jorge Pinochet
This year marks half a century since Stephen Hawking made his greatest scientific discovery by theoretically proving that black holes aint so black, as they behave like hot bodies…
Bell's inequality and the spooky actions at a distance
Jorge Pinochet
This article discusses the main aspects related to Bell's inequality, both theoretical and experimental. A new derivation of Bell's inequality is also presented, which stands out f…
General relativity in a nutshell II
Jorge Pinochet
The aim of this work is to use the notions of Riemann's geometry introduced in Part I, to analyze the foundations of Einstein's theory of general relativity.
General relativity in a nutshell I
Jorge Pinochet
Einstein's general relativity is the best available theory of gravity. In recent years, spectacular proofs of Einstein's theory have been conducted, which have aroused interest tha…
