About me


I'm Ahad, I'm 17, and I have a passion for science, math, technology, literature, music, sports, and cars. I started this blog back in 7th grade (hence the cringeworthy name "Ahad's Universe"), but I have now decided to resume posting after nearly a 4-year break. You will find that most of my posts will pertain to the science department, in which I particularly like physics, cosmology, astronomy, as well as aerospace engineering. Yet, there is a diverse range of topics to read about here, from essays to stories to academic papers. Although it is likely that an eventual net count of 5 people (if not less) will stumble on this blog, I still want to put my writings and thoughts out there, even if it is just for myself.

Singularities, black holes, and the geometry of space

Singularities: An answer to a theory of everything Edwin Hubble (along with others) discovered that the universe is expanding. He absorbed that the majority of galaxies where moving away from us from its spectrum. Its spectrum appeared to be redshifted: when the light wave expands when the source of light moves away, thus moving the wavelength of light towards the red end of the spectrum. We know that if the universe expands, if we reverse time, the universe must have been smaller. And some long ago, the universe would have been the size of a dot. It would have infinite mass and density and would be extremely hot enough pull apart not just atoms nor nucleuses, but elementary particles and quarks of which we don’t know its components. This singularity would live in a single dimension, just a point in ‘space’ (in fact this point is space). We learn that this singularity might lead us a key of the universe. However, this isn’t the only singularity we can find in space or in time. ...

Is science or history better?

The following essay is my response to the International Baccalaureate's Theory of Knowledge question title option for 2021-2022: " Is there solid justification for regarding knowledge in the natural sciences more highly than another area of knowledge? Discuss with reference to the natural sciences and one other area of knowledge. " I chose history as the additional area of knowledge, as there is often debate concerning whether science or history is more important. All rights go to IB for this prompt and the subsequent triggering of my thoughts and opinion. - Is there solid justification for regarding knowledge in the natural sciences more highly than another area of knowledge? Discuss with reference to the natural sciences and one other area of knowledge. It was the intellectual Arthur Schlesinger Jr. who once declared that “science and technology revolutionize our lives, but memory, tradition and myth frame our response.” He compares two areas of human knowledge that sh...

Battery power - a potential victim of temperature?

A write up of a lab in which I researched and conducted an experiment to answer the following question, in order to reveal the implications of how temperature can affect batteries. How does temperature exposure affect the electric power of a Ni-Cd battery? Link to PDF of paper
