Roger Penrose’s Tryst with Gravity and Quantum Mechanics


In the very first issue of Curiositá, we’re thrilled to feature Sir Roger Penrose, the 2020 Nobel Prize winner in Physics. His incredible journey of perseverance and bold, unconventional thinking perfectly captures the spirit of curiosity and discovery that Curiositá is all about.

Hot this week

John Stewart Bell

John Bell made contributions to many areas of physics, including accelerators, quantum field theory, and the physics of elementary particles, but his most important work was the so-called Bell's inequality, which reopened the study of the fundamental nature of quantum theory and made important conceptual advances. There have been many applications, both theoretical and practical.

The First Urbanization Period And the Indus Valley Civilization

The history of science is often traced back to Classical Greece or the European Renaissance; however, its roots extend much deeper into the past. In this inaugural issue of Curiosita, we are pleased to present an essay that highlights one of the earliest and most significant cradles of scientific and technological advancement: the Indus Valley Civilization.

Development of Science and Technology in India

India’s intellectual history is characterized by ancient brilliance, a phase of decline, and a modern resurgence, featuring foundational contributions in mathematics, science, and technology prior to the 16th century. In his exploration, Professor Ajoy Ghatak examines these early advancements, which laid the groundwork for a 19th-century revival in education and research.
