Welcome to The Casual Cosmos

Alright, listen up. You’ve somehow ended up here at The Casual Cosmos – and trust me, that’s a good thing. You’ve probably got a ton of questions about the universe. Black holes? Sure. Quantum physics? Bring it on. Why does gravity make us feel like we’re being held down by some invisible force? Yeah, we’ll explain that too. But don’t worry – this isn’t your high school physics class where you nodded off and pretended you got it. Nah. Here, we’ll break down the most mind-boggling stuff about how the universe works, without all the geeky formulas and lectures. We’re all about talking science like you’re chatting with your best friend – laid-back, straight to the point, and maybe even cracking a joke or two. So relax. Let’s get into it, and maybe, just maybe, you’ll leave here with a little more understanding about this crazy universe and how it ticks. No big deal, right?

Anuj Londhe

Hola, I’m Anuj Londhe – a second-year BSc Physics student at Fergusson College, Pune. My brain spends a lot of time juggling physics, math, and literature (yes, I’m that nerd). But when I’m not diving into the strange world of theoretical physics, you’ll find me scribbling poetry or doing my thing as the coordinator of Indo Science Education Trust (ISET).

At ISET, we’re all about spreading the wonders of science and space tech across India. I’ve been teaching for a few years now, and I’ve given more talks than I can count – ranging from ‘what the heck is science?’ to ‘let’s talk quantum mechanics like we’re pals’. It’s all about making science fun and accessible.

My ultimate goal? To become a theoretical physicist (preferably one who gets to ask cool questions like, 'Why does the universe exist?'), and to share that same excitement with the next generation. Through this blog, I’ll be unraveling the cosmos and trying to explain quantum physics without making your brain explode. You’re in for a ride.
