You must have heard a famous quote by Nikola Tesla. It’s one of my favorites. “If you want to find the secrets of the universe, think in terms of energy, frequency, and vibration” It’s really a deep and very meaningful quote. Probably that’s why I have seen this quite a few times but overlooked it. I didn’t pay enough attention because it’s not something very easy to understand. But if you can then something magical may happen. Probably you will agree with me if…
A few weeks back I was reading a sci-fi novel by Stephen King named 11/22/63. There was a character named Jake Epping who one day discovered a portal which can take him to the past or future, basically, he can travel in time then. Then he decided to go back in time in 1958, and after some experiments, he realized that he can alter the history of the humankind (as he can change the events). So he decided to prevent the assassination of President…
What do you like most? Beaches or mountains. I am a beach lover. Looking at the open ocean feels me with great exhilaration. In fact, it’s always one of my fantasies to be somewhere in an ocean from where I wouldn’t be able to see anything except water. I thought it would be cool until I heard the story of José Salvador Alvarenga, a mexican fisherman. His scary as well as inspiring story makes me think about human capabilities in a newer way. So…
Nuseir Yassin- a name you probably never heard before. However, if you are active on social media you probably heard or seen videos of ‘Nas Daily‘. Ok look at the picture below, you have probably seen him before on Facebook or Instagram. If you don’t know him. that’s ok. By the end of this article, you are going to know a lot about this guy. You might be thinking, but why should I know about this guy? What he has done? Fair enough. How…
Do you know how alike you are with a Chimpanzee? Almost 98.9%, genetically speaking. Not only that, you are genetically 94% similar to your pet and 90% with your cat. You might be thinking ‘But I don’t behave like my pet or cat. No way‘ Then what separates us from pet, cat, or chimpanzees? It’s our brain of course. The genes we have relevant to brain development is absent in other animals. We approximately have 3 million more neurons in our brain than that…
Can you recall, how were the telephones 100 years back ? Something like this right. Now, think about the phone we use today. Drastic change right. This is the obvious sign that how fast human civilization is prospering. Not only with telephone, if you look at other things (pictures below) also, you will realize how far we have come. Now look at another scenario. How were the classrooms in earlier days? And how do they look now? Now compare both the classrooms. Except some…
Do you remember the story of hare and tortoise? The story where the tortoise competes with the hare in a run. The tortoise moved very slowly and the hare was very fast. The hare thought to take a nap after seeing the tortoise way behind him. Finally, the tortoise won and the hare was sleeping even then. I thought the hare lost due to his arrogance and the tortoise won because of its persistence. However, what I never realized was, the tortoise needed a…
Do you know Fritz Haber? I am sure you must have heard about him. A major portion of humankind would not been able to survive without this man’s discovery. Half of the nitrogen atoms in today’s human body are because of this man. You must be thinking, what this guy is talking about? I am talking about the Haber-Bosch process, discovered by Fritz Haber which enabled to fix nitrogen from the air with hydrogen and thereby transform it to a form (ammonia), which could…
Leonardo Da Vinci once said ” There are three kinds of people: Those who see. Those who see when they are shown. Those who do not see. “ It’s one of the deep and thoughtful quotes. I interpret these three kinds of people as follows- People who are ignorant are the people who do not see. These are the people who think they know almost everything. You can never discuss with them. Every discussion with them is a chance for them to prove themselves…
From where do we get the energy to run, walk and doing other stuff? The answer is obvious! From the food we eat, right. Ok, but what if I tell you to dig little deeper. Let’s recall some mechanism of our body to generate energy. You eat some food. Our body then digests that food with the help of acid and enzymes. When the body digests the food, carbohydrates in the food (starch and sugar) breaks down into another type of sugar called glucose….
