Scientists Win Physics Nobel Prize For Proving Einstein Wrong

Alain Aspect from Université Paris-Saclay in France, John Clauser from J.F. Clauser & Associates in the US, and Anton Zeilinger from University of Vienna in Austria, will share the prize sum of 10 million Swedish kronor (US$915,000) “for experiments with entangled photons, establishing the violation of Bell inequalities and pioneering quantum information science”.

The world of quantum mechanics appears very odd indeed. In school, we are taught that we can use equations in physics to predict exactly how things will behave in the future – where a ball will go if we roll it down a hill, for example.

Quantum mechanics is different from this. Rather than predicting individual outcomes, it tells us the probability of finding subatomic particles in particular places. A particle can actually be in several places at the same time, before “picking” one location at random when we measure it.

Even the great Albert Einstein himself was unsettled by this – to the point where he was convinced that it was wrong. Rather than outcomes being random, he thought there must be some “hidden variables” – forces or laws that we can’t see – which predictably influence the results of our measurements.

The Nobel Prize for Physics 2022 is being shared by three scientists, for their work in which field?

A – Nuclear Physics
B – Quantum mechanics
C – Atomic science
D – Space Science

Gap between male and female infant mortality rates evened out in 2020

According to Sample Registration System Statistical Report 2020, Chhattisgarh had the highest gap in 2020, with a male infant mortality rate of 35 compared to female infant mortality rate of 41.
The male and female infant mortality rate (IMR) equalised in 2020 in India. Infant mortality rate is the number of infant deaths for every 1,000 live births. In rural India, female IMR remained marginally higher than male IMR though the gap had reduced. In urban India, the female IMR fell below that of males by 2020.

As per recent government data, which state has the highest gap in infant mortality rate between boys and girls in 2020?

A – Odisha
B – Haryana
C – Chhattisgarh
D – Bihar
