Thoughts on Higgs Boson
When it is not contested scientifically that change is a continuous phenomenon,how is that Higgs boson, if found,can be considered as the ultimate building block of matter.
Sure, it may prove a mathematically arrived conclusion… yet the contradiction remains.
An ever changing, at the same time, ever stable (because it is the ultimate one) is the contradiction.
One may find changing or divisible particle only…

Gravity at different places on earth
The centre of earth is equator and if equator is the centre of earth and as we know the gravity is maximum at centre of the earth then why the gravity is less there?
Asked Aishwarya
Answer:
(Evidently, the question is posted out of some misconception or confusion)
Centre of earth means the centre INSIDE THE EARTH, and there the value of g is zero.
At the equator, the distance from the centre is maximum and therefore g is the minimum. Further, the effect of rotation is maximum at the equator as the distance of any particle on the surface is farthest from the axis of rotation at the equator and any object at the equator requires maximum centripetal force which is derived from the gravitational force of earth. Thus in both ways, g is minimum at the equator.

Resistance and Resistivity
Simran Asked
“Two wires A and B of equal lengths,different cross-sectional areas and made of same metal a)name the property which is same for both the wires. b)name the property which is different for both the wires”
Answer:
Since both the wires are of same metal, the resistivity will be same for both whereas since the dimensions (Area of cross section here) are different, the resistance will be different
