His Uncommitted Sin

Universe and his Star

Author's POV: 

" Logan, I want the details every second until my wife is here. Contact them if you find anything unusual," Vihaan said to Logan over the mobile, looking at the two tall black gates that she had just passed from. 

Vihaan drove to the University and he sighed. Currently, he is teaching his next batch and they turned off more practical students than the theory ones. He has to assign them tasks now and then to shut the buzz. 

Vihaan strode into the lecture hall, his confident gaze sweeping across the sea of expectant faces. He set down his notes and began to pace across the front of the room, his eyes locking onto individual students as he spoke.

"Welcome, everyone, to today's discussion on Quantum Mechanics. Specifically, we're going to delve into the fascinating realm of wave-particle duality."

He scribbled an equation on the blackboard, the chalk squeaking as he wrote,Ψ(x,t) = Ae^(i(kx-ωt))

"This is the wave function, Psi, which describes the quantum state of a particle. But here's the fascinating part, this equation can be interpreted in two ways. Either as a wave, with amplitude and frequency, or as a particle, with position and momentum."

Vihaan paused, surveying the room to ensure his students were following. He noticed a few furrowed brows and nodded encouragingly.

"Think of it like this, imagine you're at the beach, watching the waves roll in. You can describe the wave's motion, amplitude and frequency, but you can't pinpoint exactly where the water molecules are. That's like the wave function. But, if you zoom in, you'll see individual water molecules, like particles, with specific positions and momenta."

He drew a simple diagram on the board, illustrating the concept.

"Now, let's apply this to the famous Double-Slit Experiment. Imagine shooting electrons through two slits, creating an interference pattern on the screen behind. This demonstrates wave-like behavior. But, if we try to observe the electrons as they pass through the slits, the pattern changes, and we see particle-like behaviour."

Vihaan's eyes sparkled with enthusiasm as he wrote another equation:Δx * Δp >= h/4π

"This is the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle, which states that we can't precisely know both position and momentum simultaneously. The act of observation itself changes the outcome."

As he finished writing, Vihaan turned to face the students, his gaze intense. "Quantum Mechanics challenges our classical understanding of reality. It's a realm where probabilities reign, and certainty is an illusion. But, it's precisely this strange, counter-intuitive nature that makes it so fascinating."

The room fell silent, the students absorbed in thought as Vihaan's words hung in the air. Then, a hand shot up, followed by another, and another, as the discussion erupted into a lively debate, Vihaan guiding the conversation with a knowing smile.

Vihaan's eyes sparkled with excitement as he addressed the class, "Before we wrap up today, I want to share something with you all. If you haven't already noticed, I'm keen on taking students to astronomical events. In fact, I've taken your seniors on similar trips in the past."He paused, surveying the room with a hint of nostalgia.

"Most of you might have seen the Supernova that occurred a month back, but I took your seniors to witness it firsthand. It was an incredible experience, and I'd like to share some interesting facts about it."

Vihaan began to pace across the room, his enthusiasm infectious."Did you know that the Supernova was so bright it could be seen from over 10 million light-years away? Or that it was the closest observed Supernova to Earth since the 17th century?"The students leaned in, captivated by Vihaan's words.
