Real life "Superman" Technology to store 360TB data forever!

FACT : The memory crystals you saw in the latest superman movie, the ones containing the history of superman's planet krypton? Well, we humans now possess that kind of technology!  

Researchers at the University of Southampton claim to have made a ground-breaking breakthrough in computer technology. Data storage technologies to be exact. 



This small disc can accommodate data worth 2,800 Blu-Ray discs for millions of years !
Coined as "Superman Memory Crystals" after the memory crystals in the movie "Superman" containing the history and knowledge of the planet "Krypton", these 5-D memory  discs, are the only human technology with the ability to even outlive the human race! Even without losing any data stored in it, Thus giving us a chance to preserve all that we've learned almost eternally, thereby giving a chance to other intelligent life forms which come across it to learn about us.

Time Travelling Particles

           



FACT:                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                     PARTICLES KNOWN AS "HIGGS SINGLETS" CAN BE USED AS "TELEPHONES" TO SEND MESSAGES THROUGH TIME INTO THE PAST OR FUTURE!


Isn't it amazing how rapidly mankind is moving forward with discovering more and more about science?
It was just in 1969 that mankind stepped on to the moon. Now we're talking about travelling through time!

A group of scientists at the CERN laboratories theorize that a particle known as "HIGGS SINGLET"  travel through the fifth dimension (the first, second, third and fourth being length, breadth, height and time respectively, which we all live in).

With the discovery of higgs boson, or "god particle", if you may, many scientists are highly positive on finding this sub-atomic part of the higgs boson.

This particle enters the fifth dimension and then may pop back into our dimensions a bit back or ahead in time, i.e effectively travelling through time. This particle, may even be travelling through time right now as you read this!

Light from sound ?

 

 FACT: IF YOU COLLAPSE AN UNDERWATER BUBBLE WITH SOUND WAVES, IT PRODUCES LIGHT, NOBODY EXACTLY KNOWS WHY!
            We all know that energy can be transformed from one form to another. That's what we all learned at school. Those of you who are really reading this for curiosity,  chances are, that you were also curious at school to know about the various conversions of energy from one form to another. 
     If that is the case, then this article is a bonanza of sorts for you!
 You must have thought whether sound energy can be converted to light directly (If you did'nt think about it then, give it a thought now :P  ).

Well, it seems sound energy CAN be directly converted to light energy. 
Get a glass of water( make sure there are small air bubbles in it) , impose on it some sound waves, and voila! physics rewards  you by light energy (only for a few picoseconds though ).
This phenomenon of generating light energy from sound energy is called "SONOLUMINESENCE"




Sonoluminescence: The phenomenon in which acoustic energy is concentrated into collapsing bubbles that emit picosecond pulses of broadband light.

Calculations indicate that peak temperatures inside the bubbles may exceed 12 million K, that peak pressures may reach 100 million atmospheres, could initiate D-D fusion.

Harnessing the high energy release would lead to the development of
revolutionary propulsion and power systems

Introduction to Search Engine Optimization (S.E.O)

S.E.O, Short for "SEARCH ENGINE OPTIMIZATION", is being touted as the next big thing on the internet.
The formal definition goes-


"S.E.O stands for search engine optimization. It is the process of getting traffic from "free","organic","editorial" or natural listings of a search engine."


It is the technique (or may i say "art") of enhancing the visibility of a particular website, blog in the search results of a search engine.

Consider this situation -
You have a business you want to promote on the internet, so that your customer base,and hence your profit eventually increases.
What you would normally do is create a website or a blog dedicated for promoting your business. This way, all the people who visit your website can get information regarding the services you offer, the products you offer etc etc.

 Now the question that arises here is,"How would people find your website?" , "How would they know of your website's "existence"? One simple answer is through the largest data distribution machine on the planet, "GOOGLE"!

Now the problem that arises here is that, all over the world there may be thousands of 
businesses which share the same name as yours. Hence, your website's position in the search result of google will be somewhere in the last few pages of the search result. 

To avoid this scenario, search engine optimization is practiced, to make your website famous on the internet, without paying for advertisements.

Hidden Portals within the Earth?

NOTE:
During the time it takes to read this article, high up in the atmosphere, something will happen. A portal will open, linking the earth to a location 93 million miles away.



Yes, you can stop laughing. Because it really will, as it turns out!

The human race, has come a long way from inventing the wheel to proving what was touted as science "fiction" as "facts".
Mainstream science is now discovering new concepts which will change our basic understandings of the universe we see around us. 
Artist rendition of earths magnetic field being connected to sun.
A "wormhole", often featured in sci-fi flicks, are supposed to be hypothetical tunnels through the space-time fabric, which link extremely far-off locations.

Portals do actually exist, sort-of and a  NASA funded researcher at the university of Iowa has figured out how to find them.

"We call them x-points or electron diffusion regions," explains plasma physicist Jack Scudder of the university of Iowa."they're places where the magnetic field of earth connects with the magnetic field of sun, creating an un-interrupted path leading from our planet to the atmosphere in sun, 93 million miles away."

The Mirage!


                         


This, being my first post on my first blog, i wanted it to be something that connects with everyone around the world, whether you are from Asia, America, Africa, or any other corner of the world...this article is for "YOU".
And i realized, this "something" that everyone runs around for every given day, whether knowingly or unknowingly, intentionally or un-intentionally, consciously or sub-consciously, is "happiness"!

We all want a good job, the latest cell phone in the market, a stylish car, a huge house..we wanna stay young..we want a beautiful girlfriend/life partner..
the question that arises here, is...WHY?!
the answer given to this is simple..
Everyone wants to be happy!
isn't it the biggest irony of life that we actually come to think of the above entities as the sole giver of "happiness", while these are the entities which have a BIG role in snatching happiness away from us!


Some people think they would  find happiness in showing off their possessions to others, some believe happiness can be found in living life "king size", some people try to get happiness by putting others down, or worse, hurting others etc etc.
However, the most refreshing and long lasting breeze of happiness is attained, not by the above mentioned  activities, but ironically, by actually "GIVING" to the society! quite contrary to what we all think eh?!
You may want to try this out..whenever, however low you may be feeling, for whatever reason it may be..just go out..and GIVE to the world! help an elderly person cross the road, give charity and i guarantee your heart would be both lightened and enlightened!

Don't run around the deception created by the media..trust me, you wont get happiness from a trendier cellphone, a more stylish car, or money! its just a mirage! Observe that a poor urchin can be happier than a millionaire!


"Each morning when I open my eyes I say to myself: I, not events, have the power to make me happy or unhappy today. I can choose which it shall be. Yesterday is dead, tomorrow hasn't arrived yet. I have just one day, today, and I'm going to be happy in it."
- Groucho Marx
