TIFO(Today I Found Out)

TIFO about Schrödinger's cat Recently, we have been learning about atomic theory. As a student who is very interested in chemistry and physics, I took it upon myself to understand more about the topic at hand. Schrödinger was a name who came up in multiple topics, and so I decided to understand who he is and why he is so famous. Schrödinger's cat is a brilliant thought experiment which explains the meaning of quantum superposition in an amazingly simple way. His thought experiment deals with quantum effects on a macroscopic level, which may pave the way for future teleportation technologies and may help us better understand the fourth dimension, which would be groundbreaking in our scientific understanding of the world Who is Erwin  Schrödinger? Erwin Schrödinger was a scientist from the 20th century. He was one of the foremost scientists who advanced our understanding of chemistry, quantum physics and atomic theory. Among his most famous and influential works was his thou...

TIFO about John Nash Who was John Nash? John Nash was an Economist from Princeton University. He revolutionized economics with his essay on game theory, written in his paper - "Equilibrium points in N-person games." This paper was written by him while he was still studying in university and the rule that he proposed was soon named Nash Equilibrium. What is Nash Equilibrium? Nash Equilibrium is a state in which two or more competitors cannot change their strategies to achieve a better outcome. Usually, the Nash Equilibrium will not be in alignment with the S.O.S (Socially Optimal Solution). One example of this is in the Prisoner Problem. Imagine that you are one of two criminals who have been caught for a petty crime. The police suspect that you two have committed a larger crime, but they have no proof. However, they put each of you in a room, and tell you... If you both remain silent, each of you will receive one year in jail for your petty crime. If one of you...

Hello. I am Vedant Harsha Rao. I am a student currently studying in India. I enjoy collecting interesting information about various different topics and ideas. I've always loved learning new things and telling others about what I've learnt. TIFO is my blog which helps me talk about new ideas and concepts which I have just recently learnt. TIFO stands for Today I Found Out, and as such, this blog talks about things that I found out about today.  I hope that this blog may be of some interest to you, and if it isn't, let me know what you would like me to read about in the comments below my posts. I would love to hear your thoughts on what I should look into and learn about. If you think I've made a mistake in one of my posts, or if you just want to share your TIFO moment, please drop a comment on my post, and I will try my best to get back to you about that.  Happy reading!
