Imagine heading off in a straight line from Earth and you just kept on going; if you travelled at a speed close to that of light, after a while (OK a very long time) you would reach the edge of the Universe and the first matter that exploded from the Big Bang . Tricky, we don’t know. We have no information. Are there lots of Universes out there? Or are we the only one? March 6, 2013. Electricity & Lightning.

Skip to primary content. Skip to secondary content. Electricity & Lightning. April 10, 2013. Electricity is an electric current which may or may not be used for the transfer of power. An electric current can be thought of as a flow of electrons (negatively charged subatomic particles) that is caused by the attraction of sub-atomic particles of the opposite charge or repulsion of those with the same charge.

Skip to primary content. Skip to secondary content. April 21, 2013. Optical fibres utilise optical refraction to transmit light along the core of a transparent fibre. Multi-strand optical fibre cabletransparent fibre. Materials). The relationship between the angles to the normal are described by Snell’s Law ( see diagram below). Is how optical fibres work – the light travels in an optically denser material, surrounded by a less optically dense material, with the light being totally internally refle...
