2020-11-27T17:08:00.006+05:30

From Marie curie, an incredible scientist to Indira Gandhi, an outstanding politician, women have shown their talent in each and every field. Marie curie, Michelle Obama, Mother Teresa, and Florence Nightengale have given this world a lot for sure but there are some other women who are not recognized but have done great things which made the world to know what are women capable of.

So here are 6 women who changed the world and showed the world women are no less than men in each and every field.

1. Wanagari Maathai, 1940-2011

Professor Wanagari Maathai was an environmentalist and is responsible for founding the green belt movement. Her tireless effort saw 51 million trees planted in Kenya. Maathai also was the first woman in east and central Africa to earn a Ph.D. She was an inspiration as her green belt movement was not only related to planting trees. The other objectives of this movement were to have women from rural Kenya generating income at the same time doing good for the environment.

She received a noble prize in 2004 for her work In sustainable development.

2. Emmeline Pankhurst, 1858-1928

Emmeline Pankhurst founded the women's society and political union and the members were called the suffragettes and Their purpose was to gain voting rights for women in Britain. She was mother to five children and wife to a lawyer Richard Pankhurst who was a great supporter of his wife's work. Emmeline was arrested 13 times for her fights to gain voting right for women. She sadly couldn't live to see her wish come true. She died the same year in which the parliament gave women voting rights on 2nd July 1928.

3. Sacagawea, 1788-1812

Sacagawea was only 16 when she played an important role as a member of Lewis and Clark's discovery. The trip took place between 1804 and 1806 and Sacagawea traveled thousands of miles while carrying her newborn baby on her back. Her role was to act as an interpreter and ease any suspicions of tribes they might encounter during their journey. The aim of the trip was to establish cultural contact with native Americans.

In the early 20th century, the National American women's suffrage association used her as a symbol of woman's worth and independence.

4. Lise Meitner, 1878-1968

Being a Jewish female and a woman scientist were all disadvantages that physicist Lise Meitner had to endure. Meitner had a love for maths and science from the age of 8. In pre-1939 physicists believed nuclear fission impossible, the process of large atoms splitting into smaller atoms is what makes a nuclear power plant and a nuclear bomb a possibility. Meitner proved them wrong described the process as fission and also provided a concrete explanation on how it was possible.

She worked closely with Otto Hahn. But when it was time to publish the work he left her out of the papers because featuring a jew and a woman would end his career. Meitner was nominated for noble prize repeatedly but never won the award instead Otto Hahn won a noble prize in chemistry in 1944 for nuclear fission. Her exclusion was deemed unjust by many scientists and later at the age of 87, she was awarded the prestigious Enrico Fermi award alongside none other than Otto Hahn.

5. Benazir Bhutto, 1953-2007

She was the 11th president of Pakistan(1993-1996) and the first woman to head a Muslim country. During her term as president of Pakistan, she ended the military dictatorship in her country and fought for women's rights. She was assassinated in a suicide attack in 2007.

12 fascinating facts about our planet Earth

2020-10-01T12:29:00.004+05:30

If you think you know everything ng about our planet earth thing again! Scientists are discovering a new thing every day and still, they believe our planet is full of mysteries. EARTH is full of fascinating things whether it is the driest place or the tallest mountain. Do you who named earth? Or how was the moon the only natural satellite of our planet earth was formed? Let’s answer these questions

1. Freshwater represents only 3% of all water on Earth.

Around 72% of our earth is made up of water. Out of this 97% of the water present on our planet is oceanic or seawater which is salty and not fit for drinking. The remaining 3% is freshwater is held in glaciers (70%) and Lake Baikal (20%). Only 0.3% of the total water on earth is there for human consumption.

2. Neighboring states can have a 24-hour time difference

Despite the fact that American Samoa is only 1,240 miles away from the Line Islands that form part of Kiribati, the time difference between the two neighbors is 25 hours

3. The the driest place on Earth

It’s commonly believed that the driest place on our planet earth is the Atacama Desert in Chile that hasn’t had rainfall for thousands of years. But the Mcmurdo dry valley in Antarctica has seen no rain for about 2 million years. Also, Scientists consider the Dry Valleys perhaps the closest of any terrestrial environment to the planet Mars.

4. Most of our planet always lies in the dark

We all know that the world ocean occupies around 71% of the planet’s surface. Also, the depth of the water exposed to sunlight is no more than 655 feet, so the rest of the water is usually in the dark

5. Mount Everest is NOT the tallest mountain in the world

Mauna kea summit

We always read that the tallest mountain in the world is Mount Everts. But this is actually half true. If we talk about above sea level no other mountain is taller than Mount Everest. But Hawaiian Mauna kea, if measured above sea level, has a height of about 13,795 ft. (4,205 m) however, the biggest part of the volcano rest below sea level. So if measured from the base, Mauna kea is 33,475 ft. high which is 4,445(1,355 m) taller than Mount Everest.

6. all 7 Continents will reunite in 250 million years

Pangea Ultima

About 335 to 175 million years ago Pangea, a supercontinent split into two continents mainly Laurasia and Gondwana. later the two split into parts forming seven different continents present today. but, scientist believe that all seven continents will group together in 250 to 300 million years from now, and will form a single supercontinent called Pangea Ultima

7. A single-celled organism caused the first mass extinction

scientists from Massachusetts Institute of technology suggested a theory that explained the mass extinction that wiped out almost 90% of living organisms on our planet. a bacteria named Methanosarcina suddenly bloomed in the oceans 252 million years ago, triggering the only mass extinction of insects known to science. it also gave Archosaurus a unique opportunity to evolve. by the way, crocodiles evolved from Archosaurus.

8.Gravity isn’t the same everywhere on the planet.

if you think the earth is round then here is a shocking fact for you, it isn't. the earth is not perfectly round, it's more like a sphere or you can say a squashed sphere. so because of this its mass is irregular and differs in various places. so you would have learned in your school days (at least I did) that gravity decreases when mass decreases and increase when mass increases. so because earth mass differs in different places wobbles of gravity in different areas of the planet are caused.

on of these gravitational anomalies is found in Canada's Hudson bay where gravity is much weaker than anywhere else on the planet. a 2007 study found the reason for such a phenomenon is melted glaciers. That area was once covered with a thick layer of ice. when the ice later melted the imprint of this glacier partially pushed aside some of the earth's mass in that region.

9. Our planet is covered in gold.

about 20 million tones of gold can be found inside or very own planet and in the seas, if all this precious metal could be extracted it would be enough to cover the entire surface of our planet in a 2-foot layer of gold. and if we distribute this equally to each person living on this planet then each one of earth inhabitants would get 9 pounds of this treasure. but wait for you go out and start digging let me tell you that this precious metal is extremely diluted. you can get a gram of gold for every one hundred million of seawater.

10. Earth is home to the most powerful volcanic eruptions ever

Mount Tambora

The most powerful volcanic eruption ever recorded happened in April 1815. The heart of this explosion was Mount Tambora in Indonesia. This eruption was ranked a seven or super colossal on the volcanic explosivity index. This ranking is similar to the Richter scale for earthquakes and goes from 1 to 8. The 1815 explosion was so loud that people on Sumatra island could hear it and that's about 1,200 miles away.

Over 71 thousand people died in this disaster.

11. Who named Earth as Earth?

Earth is the English language name for our planet. But it isn't actually the universal name for the 3rd rock from the sun. Like in Spanish it is called Tierra, in Dutch it is Aarde and in Swedish it is Jorden. The only thing they have in common is they are roughly related to soil or ground. Earth is also the only planet in our solar system that is not named after a Greek or Roman God or Goddess.

Coming back to the question 'Who named the Earth as Earth?' Honestly, there is no answer to this. There is no proof and evidence who named the Earth. We can only assume a lot of people looked down, decided on soil, ground sounding's word, and we called it that because it made sense.

12. The moon was ones part of the earth

The moon's titanium and oxygen very close to those on earth. Swedish scientists suggest that some 4.36 billion years ago planet earth collided with a hypothesized planetary-mass object Theia leading to the formation of the earth's only natural satellite.

The Himalayas becomes taller by 2 inches each year. This is no enchantment or marvels its unadulterated science. This marvel occurs as the structural plates that made the Himalayas continue moving, so this makes the mountain go taller in stature. So as the Himalayas develop taller every year because of the structural push, it additionally falls under its own weight. This fall even allows the Himalayas to develop sidewards. This is interesting right?.

Who named the Earth as Earth?- interesting space facts.

2020-07-06T09:40:00.002+05:30

Earth!
Earth is the English language name for our planet. But it isn't actually the universal name for 3rd rock from the sun. Like in Spanish it is called Tierra, it Dutch it is Aarde and in Swedish it is Jorden. The only thing they have in common is they are roughly related to soil or ground. Earth is also the only planet in our solar system that is not named after a Greek or roman God or Goddess.
The word Earth started appearing in text around 8th century and since it is not named after God means it was actually named before we knew about other planets. This word also was perpetuated in the King James Bible of 1611 - it reads ' God called the dry land Earth...'

Coming back to the question 'Who named the Earth as Earth?' Honestly, there is no answer to this. There is no proof and evidence who named the Earth. We can only assume a lot of people looked down, decided on a soil, ground soundings word, and we called it that because it made sense.

6 most strange planets the you can't believe exists- interesting space facts

2020-07-05T13:41:00.004+05:30

A lot of things happen on earth, but still there some things that don't take place on our planet.
But that doesn't mean that what is impossible here is impossible everywhere in this vast universe. Whether it's clouds that rain rock or wind that's 29 times faster than sound.
So here are some planets that you don't believe exists in the universe.

6. Kepler b

Kepler b is a planet which orbits two different stars. If you ever got an opportunity to visit this planet you will notice 2 shadows instead of one like we have on our planet.

5. COROT - 7b

On COROT- 7b instead of raining water is rain down rocks. This is because half of the planet is scorching hot at 2,600 C, while the other half is far cooler with 177C and the temperature at the hot side is enough to vaporize rocks and like water condenses to form water cloud this rocks condense to form rock clouds. These clouds will then rain magma onto the surface, but since the atmosphere is cooler the farther up it goes and temperatures on the cool side is far lower. So the magma often turns into rocks before falling on the surface.

4. HD189733 -b

This is a gas planet with one side always facing its star, where the temperature can reach a scorching 966 C and also the temperature on the dark side is also very hot that is 688 C. Dark side is so hot because of the extremely fast winds possibly up to 22,000 mph, which is equal to 10km/s or nearly 29 times the speed of sound.

3. Titan

Titan is a moon of second largest planet of our solar system that is Saturn. It has such a thick atmosphere that we didn't even know what it surface looked like until 2005.

Surface of titan

This moon has an atmosphere, rivers and lakes and it even rain like on earth. But the temperature on Titan is -179C, which is so cold that water is as hard as rock and chemical methane is present in liquid state. The cold, rivers and lake are made of methane which is the primary source of natural gas.
The interesting fact is that only 20% of the Titan surface is mapped and that alone consists of 100 times more natural gas and oil that is available all over the earth.

2. Mars

Planet mars one of the closet planet to earth comes in this list because it could be the next permanent home planet for us and we may able to see
it happen in our lifetime.
Mars is considered a great candidate for life because of its ancient water rich soil, sufficient amount of sunlight and a similar day length that is only 40 minutes longer.
Mars gravity is 38% weaker than Earth but still it is within the acceptable range for us to survive. Mars thin atmosphere protects it from sun's radiations and also could hold oxygen and become breathable.

1. HD 189773-b

HD 189773-b is an exoplanet located 63 light years away from us. It is slightly larger than Jupiter in size and look beautiful from its appearance due to the fact that the atmosphere of the planet mainly consists of silicon. Think sand or glass. It also rain at a temperature of 930C and has winds which can reach up to 5400mph or 8700kmph, which is seven times faster than speed of sound. This is even more terrifying when it rains on this planet. Here it rains glass. Just imagine the scene. If such a storm suddenly rows on Earth at the same wind speed on the HD 189773- , it would fly around our planet at the equator in just 5 hours and 33 minutes.

21 interesting facts about space - planets, stars galaxy and much more

2020-06-20T14:28:00.008+05:30

today we are going to learn about space and space facts that you probably didn't know about! As has famously said, space is the Final frontier. The greatest of unknowns, space is far vaster than we can think and is filled phenomenon we barely understand. While we are watching the heavens in awe for millennia, space exploration and discovery only began earnest in the mid-20th century. Yet even what are no doubt our primitive findings still points at a universe more incredible then we thought. So here are 21 interesting facts that you didn't know about the universe.

21. Until 1923 scientist just thought that the entire universe is just our milky way until astronomer Edwin Hubble discovered that the astronomical feature known as Andromeda, a fuzzy spot in the night sky, was actually an entire galaxy.

20 In 2011 the Hubble space telescope captured a picture of that star called "variable number one” or V1. It is been called the most important star in the history of cosmology.

19. Of all planets in our solar system, only Mercury and Venus don't have moons.

18. The hottest planet in our solar system is not mercury as most would assume, but Venus. Due to runaway global warming, Venus's temperature is an incredible 863 degrees Fahrenheit that is 463 Celsius.

17. Our solar system is about 4.6 billion years old and scientists believe that it will last another 5 billion years until our sun turns into a red giant.

16. the tallest mountain known to man is Olympus Mons, an extinct volcano on mars with a peak 25 km higher sits nearly 3 times larger the Mount Everest.

15. Light-year is the distance light can travel in one year, or 5.88 trillion miles (9.5 trillion km).

14. The width of our milky way galaxy according to NASA is about 1,000,000,000,000,000,000km, or 621371192237333888 miles or in astronomical terms 1,000 light-years

13. Because most stars are so far away, when you look up into the sky you are not seeing them as they currently are, but as they were thousands of years ago that's how long their lights take to reach us.

12. Our sun is 300,000 times larger than earth.

11. The largest star in the unknown universe is VY Cains Majoris. It is 1,400 times larger than the sun.

10. Only hydrogen and helium were formed from the big bang.

9. Red Giants are really old stars formed when stars 10 times the mass of the sun ran out of hydrogen in its core and as it collapses the hydrogen present in the outer shell begins the process of fusion. The entire star begins fusion all at once. They will burn through all of their files in just a few million years and will shine 100,000 times brighter the sun.

8. This stars often explode as supernova most powerful explosion in the universe.

7. A red giant Betelgeuse, 1,000 times larger than the sun is a cosmic neighbor and is expected to go supernova in the next 1,000 years.

6. Because there are no atmosphere on the moon the footprints and tire prints left on the moon by American astronauts will never disappear.

5. Not only Jupiter has the most moons in the solar system, that is 79 but as of right now have most moons of any known planets in our galaxy.

4. Many scientists think that without Jupiter life was not possible on the earth because the giant of our solar system exerts such strong gravity that it pulls many comets and asteroids that might have impacted on earth.

3. Water has been found practically everywhere in the solar system even on mercury.

2. Pluto is smaller in diameter than the USA.

1. Not only earth rotates as it orbits to the sun, but the sun itself also rotates at the rate of once every 25-35 days.

Why is the sky blue and not the clouds?

2020-06-17T17:17:00.004+05:30

"Why is the sky blue?" This question might look difficult but the reason and physics behind it is not at all difficult. So here is the reason for our sky appearing blue.

There are two things which play an important role in giving color to the sky. First is earth's atmosphere and second is sunlight. So let us know these things first.
The white light coming from the sun is made up of seven colors that are violets, indigo, blue, green, yellow, orange and red. Each of this colored light have a corresponding frequency and wave length associated with it. The violet colored light have the shortest wave length of all and red have the longest.

We know that the earth's atmosphere is formed by different type of gases, water vapor and dust particles. We also know that this component of atmosphere are made up if molecules. So when the sunlight falls on these molecules of the atmosphere it gets scattered. Scattering is a process in which air molecules absorb sunlight and reemit it in various directions. However not all the light is scattered equally. The amount of light that will be scattered is given by Rayleigh law of scattering. This law says that “the intensity of scattered light is inversely proportional to the fourth wavelength of a wave. In simple words if the wavelength increases than the scattering will be less and if the wavelength decreases the scattering will be more. So light of color with smallest wavelength will scatter the more. This includes violet, indigo and blue. Violet have the shortest wavelength but sky appear blue?
The answer of this is given in the image below

Also check: how named Earth as Earth?

The graph above shows how much of a particular wavelength is emitted by the sun. As you can see in the graph that sun emits more blue and light-bluish light compared to the violet light. Hence more blue light is scattered by the molecules and the sky appears blue. Another reason why we can't see the violet sky is because our eyes are more sensitive to blue color than the violet. So this is how gases scatter light and the sky appears blue.

Now the question comes "do water droplets scatter light?” Well, yes they do but there size is much bigger than the light wave so the scatter all colors of light in equal amount. So the light passing through clouds and dust particles emerges out as white light again. This is the reason why clouds appear white.

How was Charlie Chaplin body stolen?

In 1952 he moved his family to Switzerland, Charlie Chaplin, his wife Oona and their eight children.
25 years later at the age of 88 Chaplin died on Christmas day in 1977

He was buried in a 300 lb. coffin in a quiet ceremony. The whole world his passing.
Three months later Charlie's wife Oona got a wired call from Switzerland police. Her husband's body disappeared. After dark Chaplin's grave was desecrated. The heavy coffin had been dug up... and was removed from unguarded cemetery.

Indentations in the ground indicated that the coffin had been dragged for short distance then it apparently was driven away in a vehicle. The motives of the theft were not clear.

Many rumors arose, like it was said that the body was stolen by Nazis. Who disapproved of the Charlie's parody of Adolf Hitler in the film "the great dictator"? Other insisted that the grave robbery was done by anti-Semites

In some days Oona got another call. The caller claimed to have Charlie Chaplin's body few days later she received a photo of Charlie's coffin the thieves demanded $600,000 Swiss franc to return the body. But Charlie's wife laughed at them and refused to pay. "I think Charlie would have found it rather humorous" said Oona Chaplin. The robbers negotiate the amount of ransom, they sounded every nervous.

The police setup a ransom meeting as a trap but they arrested the postman by mistake and the deal was off. The thieves said that they would call to renegotiate the ransom at May 17 9:30 AM. Police tapped Oona's phone and assigned officers to watch nearly 200 booths in the area. The police eventually caught the criminals at a payphone in nearby Lausanne

the robbers were two auto mechanics named Roman wardas and Gantscho ganev.

Wardas and ganev were desperate because of their bad financial conditions. So they decided to copy a similar crime that took place in Italy.
The failed squad was charged with grave robbery and extortion. Wardas the reported "master mind" was sentenced to four years. While ganev got 18 months suspended sentence

both robbers wrote an apology letter to Chaplin's widow. She only wrote back four words "look, all is forgiven" the great Chaplin was reburied in the same plot but this in case a tons of concrete. Ensuring his eternal rest will never be disturbed.

4. The website Pro Football Focus rated just 61.4 percent of his passes as “catchable.” That ranked 118th among 120 wideouts.

5. Reagor chose to attend TCU, despite scholarship offers from Alabama, Notre Dame, Oklahoma, and Texas, among others.

6. He was voted TCU’s Most Valuable Player by his teammates following his sophomore season after catching 72 passes for 1,061 yards and nine TDs.

7. In 2018, Reagor caught a touchdown pass in seven consecutive games, setting a TCU record.

8. In addition to football, Reagor was a track star at Waxahachie High School, topping out at an even 26 feet in the long jump. For comparison, that would’ve placed 10th among competitors at the 2016 Summer Olympics.

Who is Richest person in humans history?

2020-04-22T22:57:00.001+05:30

Most Richest people today make there wealth from technology and industry. In fact a study showed that 9 richest man in the world have more wealth than 4 billion poor people on this planet
But today's fortune hardly register when compared to richest people in history
The one at the top is Mansa Musa

Mansa Musa or Musa the sultan

Mansa Musa or Musa the sultan was not only the richest person in Mali but is Richest person in humans history. Details of musa are some what scarce because he lived in 14th century but few facts are certain.

Mansa Musa was born in 1280 into a family of rulers. His brother, Mansa Abu-Bakr, ruled the empire until 1312, when he abdicated to go on an expedition.

According to 14th Century Syrian historian Shibab al-Umari, Abu-Bakr was obsessed with the Atlantic Ocean and what lay beyond it. He reportedly embarked on an expedition with a fleet of 2,000 ships and thousands of men, women and slaves. They sailed off, never to return.

Some, like the late American historian Ivan Van Sertima, entertain the idea that they reached South America. But there is no evidence of this.

In any case, Mansa Musa inherited the kingdom he left behind.

Under his rule, the kingdom of Mali grew significantly. He annexed 24 cities, including Timbuktu.

The kingdom stretched for about 2,000 miles, from the Atlantic Ocean all the way to modern-day Niger, taking in parts of what are now Senegal, Mauritania, Mali, Burkina Faso, Niger, The Gambia, Guinea-Bissau, Guinea and Ivory Coast.

With such a large land mass came great resources such as gold and salt.

The journey to Mecca

Though the empire of Mali was home to so much gold, the kingdom itself was not well known.

changed when Mansa Musa, a devout Muslim, decided to go on a pilgrimage to Mecca, passing through the Sahara Desert and Egypt.

The king reportedly left Mali with a caravan of 60,000 men.

He took his entire royal court and officials, soldiers, griots (entertainers), merchants, camel drivers and 12,000 slaves, as well as a long train of goats and sheep for food.

It was a city moving through the desert.

A city whose inhabitants, all the way down to the slaves, were clad in gold brocade and finest Persian silk. A hundred camels were in tow, each camel carrying hundreds of pounds of pure gold.

It was a sight to behold.

And the sight got even more opulent once the caravan reached Cairo, where they could really show off their wealth. (Source BBC news)

How reach was mansa musa

Though it's difficult to adjust musa's wealth to match modern day billionaires, economists have estimated his net worth at an unbelievable $400 billion. To put this in perspective the richest person in the world is jeff Bezos who has a fortune of $138 billion. This means no one in the world has even a quarter of musa's massive fortune.

The closest historical equivalent is john rockefller who's adjusted fortune is about $340 billion. He have form this from US oil company and various other industrial ventures. But even his networth is full $60 billion short from musa's. Musa's jaw-dropping wealth came from mixture of luck, hard work and military strength and after 700 years of his death no one has ever came close to his record.

Can your pets catch coronavirus?

2020-04-22T00:06:00.001+05:30

Coronavirus is a large family of viruses that causes illness ranging from common cold to more sever diseases such as MERS-cov and SARS-cov.
A novel coronavirus or covid-19 is a new strain that has not been previously identified in humans (source WHO)

But coronavirus is zoonotic that is they can be transmitted between animals and humans

So can coronavirus be transmitted to your pet?

Well up till now Some cases of animals have been reported

A four years old malayan tiger at the bronox zoo was tested positive for the coronavirus the tiger named naida is believed to be the first known case of an animal infected by this virus
The cat, started showing symptoms like dry cough,late last month after exposure to a employee (source BBC news)

In February a pet dog in Hong Kong tested ‘weak positive‘ for coronavirus and was placed into quarantine.

The Agriculture, Fisheries and Conservation Department (AFCD) in Hong Kong confirmed that repeated tests suggested the dog had a “low-level” of the virus and that it was likely to be the case of human-to-animal transmission.

On 13 March the World Health Organisation said "at present there is no evidence that companion animals/pets such as dogs or cats can be infected with the new coronavirus".

Several global health organisations have issued advisories saying there is no any evidence that pet animals can spread coronavirus or indeed be infected with it in the same way as humans.

“Therefore, there is no justification in taking measures against companion animals which may compromise their welfare,” the World Organisation for Animal Health has said.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention concurred that “there is no reason to think that any animals including pets in the United States might be a source of infection with this new coronavirus”.

Should I change my behaviour with my pet?

The World Health Organisation says: "It is always a good idea to wash your hands with soap and water after contact with your pets

To protect yourself from catching coronavirus, the WHO advises the following:

Cover your mouth and nose while sneezing, with a tissue or your elbow
Put the tissue straight into a closed bin
Wash your hands afterwards, and then frequently, with soap or sanitiser
Keep your distance from people who are coughing and sneezing (at least one metre) [[Updated UK government advice also says people should stay at home and practice social distancing].
