10 Crazy Facts You Didn’t Know About The Sun

We see it every day and its probably one of the most important and necessary thing needed for the existence of life. But how much do we actually know about Sun? Ok, so you probably know at least a few things, but not the things we are going to tell you right now.

1. Nuclear Bombs

the-truth-about-nuclear-weapons-e1341873217972Every second the sun gives off the same amount of energy as 10 billion nuclear bombs. To just give you a hint, only few hundred of nuclear bomb is enough to destroy our whole world. Nuclear weapons are more powerful now than they were in the time of second world war.

2. Less than 30 days


All the energy used by man since the dawn of civilization is roughly equal to 30 days of the sun’s energy. Yupe that’s all it is for the Sun.

3. A lot of power

3D Electric powerlines over sunriseEvery year our planet Earth absorbs 94 billion megawatts of energy from the sun. That’s more than the world’s total energy need.

4. Green flash

GreenFlashWWe all know that the sun can be yellow or orange but did you know that it can be green also? This phenomenon is known as green flash is very rare.

5. 1 million years

It takes energy in the sun’s core about 1 million years to reach the surface.

6. It is heavy

planetsizesWell, it’s massive, it is really huge check out the picture above. In fact, it accounts about 99% of the mass of the entire solar system and all the other planets and star or anything in our solar system is just 1% of our total solar system mass.

7. It’s not yellow

interesting-facts-sun-0Most photos captured  and what we see suggests that the sun orange, red, yellow or a combination of the three. But in reality, the sun none of them it is white.  It appears yellow to us because of the blue light present in the Earth’s atmosphere.

8. The Sun can make us taller

sun-joy-happy-person-silhouette-image-public-domain-pixabayWhen the sun and moon are in a apogee, or pulling the Earth in the same direction, our bodies get stretched but only microscopically.

9. It was a monster

sun-monsterAt least that’s what people used to think back in the days. One legend said it was a man with 3 eyes and 4 arms that he was abandoned by his spouse for being too bright and shine.

10. It’s really bright

The-Bright-Sun-Blue-Sky-CloudsOk, so you knew that sun is really bright, but did you know that it is brighter than about 85% of everything else in the entire Milky Way?

White Holes: The Other Side of Black Holes

Courtesy: JPL NASA

I was watching the documentary Master of the Universe, by Stephen Hawking, and I remembered my own ideas of who we are and where we come from. Although my ideas have some basis in currently accepted scientific theories, they are still mostly imagination, and I can’t provide any mathematical or physical proof for them. Enjoy the imagination, and build upon it if you wish to.

String theory states that all particles are nothing but different vibrating strings of matter. A string is to an atom roughly as a human is to our known universe in size. It reminds me of the words nad Brahma, from India’s ancient past, which means that sound (waves) is the creator. This is pretty close to what the string theory theorizes now.

Scientists struggle to combine Einstein’s theory of relativity with string theory. Einstein’s theory of relativity explains how things work at large, and String theory explains how they work on the quantum level. But when we try and combine these two, they seem to not work together. The rules of physics seem to break down, especially in case of singularities, also known as black holes.

Quantum physicists predict that there can be as many as 11 or more dimensions other than our own. Particles from our three-dimensional space migrate to other dimensions and appear back frequently. When an electron disappears from our space and comes back at some other place, where does it go? It’s not in our visible universe. Building upon it, I think that it migrates to one of the other dimensions. How can it come back to our dimension so easily? And if one electron can do that, then why doesn’t the rest of the matter in other dimensions pop out in our own?

The answer to that question will require some creative thinking. Let’s go to our Big Bang event. As Stephen Hawking explains, our Big Bang was nothing but an eruption of a big black hole and all the fundamental forces were combined in one super force before the eruption. The question arises: Why did it happen, and why here and not somewhere else? Why only four kinds of fundamental forces? Why not three or five or any other arbitrary number?

The more I think about it, the more I get imaginative. Let’s go back to the concept of the black hole for our answers. A black hole is a collapsed star with such enormous gravitational force, even light cannot escape.
Courtesy: JPL NASA

To understand a black hole, think of a star as you sitting on a bed, and when you put a ball near you it tries to roll in the hole created by your weight. On a larger scale, that hole you created is called the warping of space. The gravity of massive objects warp our three dimensional space, and when some other object comes close to that heavenly body, it falls in that warp and starts moving towards it in a slow circular motion. It takes billions or even trillions of years for both of them to fall into each other.
Sun, our star

To understand a black hole, I will give another example. A star is massive and has lots of matter; it has immense gravity, but the matter is still intact. A hydrogen atom is still hydrogen atom. A star stays in its form by a critical balance of the energies which are forcing it outward and inward. Gravity tries to pull everything inwards. When a large star burns up its fuel, gravity starts getting an edge over other energies pulling the star outwards. And, when gravity wins, the star collapses, and becomes a black hole.

Let’s imagine our space as a thin paper sheet which can hold the weight of a few empty cardboard boxes, which represent matter. If we have a bunch of them and we put them spread out over that thin paper floor, it might be able to hold their weight if it’s equally distributed on the whole floor. It will warp the floor, but still won’t break it. But, if we take out all the space from the cardboard boxes by flattening them and combining them in one stack, what happens? The floor collapses. It breaks down, and that’s precisely what happens when a star collapses onto itself. All that matter which was occupying a large space in our space tries to fit in a very small space because atoms break down to particles and possibly even further, and space is not able to hold so much mass in some very small space. At a critical point it creates a hole in our space-- a black hole is born. Its gravity starts pulling matter around it and starts compressing it, as it did to itself.

But does that mean the matter which goes in a black hole disappears? I think that’s not the case. What happens in a black hole is that it crushes the matter and takes out all the extra space between the molecules and strings, or even beyond the strings if we come to know that level of smallness in the future.

All that condensed matter goes to other dimensions.

Now, let me expand a little about matter appearing in our dimension from other dimensions. We know now that our space, which we thought was empty, is not really empty, but is full of matter which has significant mass which is not visible to us yet. There are particles which appear in space randomly, containing positive mass and negative mass, and they annihilate each other when they meet each other. Small particles can do that because our dimension has small pockets of empty space, but enormous mass from other dimension cannot erupt into ours because our space is teaming with particles and mass, and doesn’t have a weak spot for so much matter to erupt.
life of a photon

What will happen in a few trillion or quadrillion years to our universe? We know that the universe is expanding; everything in our universe is running away from each other at a great speed. In some trillion or more years, we will have huge gaps between galaxies, and in some distant future, perhaps the density of mass in our universe will become so thin that it won’t be able to stop mass from other dimensions from erupting into our own. The weakest pocket in this space will be the point where the new big bang will happen-- the same as how our Big Bang happened. And, that will be the beginning of a new universe with its own physical properties and rules, depending on how the eruption occurs and matter breaks down in strings again. Different sized strings will create different kinds of particles and different sets of everything we know. We might see more or less than the four fundamental forces which we see in our universe.

We can call these eruptions a white hole or a Big Bang. Contrary to the black hole, a white hole is where matter comes out from and gets uncondensed, finding suitable conditions and available space. Matter comes out with so much force that the eruption creates a bubble around it which becomes a new universe with its own big bang.

Since string size is arbitrary and infinite in number as well as particles, it’s very difficult but still possible to have the same set of rules as our universe in one of these eruptions somewhere in space. We can find universes which are governed by the same rules as ours, or at least quite similar. There can be universes which are microscopic compared to our own, or so vast that our universe looks microscopic in front of them, depending on the size of the white hole from which it was born.

Another phrase from ancient India is jeevan chakra, which means the circle of life. Life is cyclical, just like our universe, exploding and imploding in black and white holes, coming to life and death on its own again and again. The finer energies will keep playing the game of life forever, and this circle will go on…

smoker's and non-smoker's lungs
smoker's and non-smoker's lungs

No matter how aware people are of the harmful ingredients in cigarettes and how they are the number 1 cause of lung cancer, they still can’t quit smoking. Well if you recognize yourself in the sentence above, the least you can do is clean your lungs of nicotine and tar build up and decrease your risk of infections.
There’s no magical formula that will cleanse the lungs instantly, but here is a list of foods that works best at throwing out the nicotine and tar.Corn is a food that contains beta-cryptoxanthin, which is believed that can protect you from lung cancer, because it is a powerful antioxidant. However, consume only organic, fresh corn.
Selenium is a very powerful antioxidant. Brazil nuts contain the highest source of selenium compared to other foods, so eat it as much as possible.
Onion is also a good lung cleaner. Onions can be of great help to prevent many diseases, including lung infections. In the case of people who already have cancer, it prevents the growth of new cells.

Ginger as a natural medicine and food, helps to defend against malignant diseases. This is another strong tool to relive you from the toxins in your lungs. You can consume ginger root tea, because it facilitates breathing. Also, you can eat a piece of ginger with a meal.
Oranges contain cryptoxanthin, which has a preventive effect against lung cancer.
Nettle is a plant full of iron, but it is very useful as a mean of disinfection for the lungs and plays an important role in fighting infections.
Pine needles tea is traditionally used for rinsing the mouth and throat, but can also be a good ally in the fight against lung cancer.

Interesting Things About Condoms

Interesting Things About Condoms

Everything You (N)ever Wanted To Know About Condoms

Condoms: the greatest thing to ever happen in the history of sex without (quite as many) consequences, but how much do you know about your latex saviors? Feel free to whip these factoids out the next time you’re struggling to come up with something to talk about at the bar, ’cause that won’t be weird.

1. Magnum condoms are only .32 inches longer than regular ones.

2. In 2012, Durex provided over 150,000 condoms to athletes at the London Olympics.

3. The first artistic rendering of a condom was in the French cave Grotte des Combarelles roughly 12,000-15,000 years ago.

4. Don’t worry, lambskin condoms aren’t made from lambs’ skin. They’re made from their intestines!

5. Among single people, one in three acts of vaginal intercourse involve a condom. When sharing this fact with someone you’re attracted to, try not to call it “vaginal intercourse.”

6. Only 39% of high school students are taught how to properly put on a condom.

7. Female condoms can be inserted up to eight hours before sex.

8. September 16 is Global Female Condom Day.

9. Condoms are strictly regulated by the FDA. Just like Advil.

10. All condoms undergo rigorous testing including water and air inflation tests as well as an electronic hole inspection. The robots keep your condoms safe.11. Storing condoms in your wallet might be a great way to feel like James Dean(or Deen), but it’s also a great way to damage them.

12. Get psyched, vegans — you can buy condoms that are completely animal product free! Not including, y’know, for the lamb intestine ones.

13. Over 30 million free “NYC Condoms” are given out to New Yorkers every year…28 million of them to Derek Jeter.

14. Condoms come in a variety of exciting flavors, even BACON!

15. While in World War I, the U.S. and Britain were the only countries in the European conflict that didn’t provide troops with condoms. They recorded over 400,000 cases of syphilis and gonorrhea.16. World War II marked the first war in which condoms were given to American troops.

17. Zac Efron’s mom once bought him condoms for Christmas.

22. The first rubber condoms were made by Goodyear, the tire company. (They were first used by the Michelin Man.)

23. The Guinness World Record for thinnest latex condom was set by Guangzhou Daming United Rubber Products Ltd. in 2013. The condom was .036 mm thin, which is very thin.

24. In 2013 Bill and Melinda Gates received 812 entries in their “Build a Better Condom” competition. The 11 finalists received $100,000 each to make their wildest condom dreams come true.

25. The average condom user is between 18 and 24 years old.

Novak Djokovic: Why he has less supporter than other player

Novak Djokovic Celebrating
Novak Djokovic

Novak Djokovic is living a perfect moment. He's breaking every record, as he just hasn't won Roland Garros and Cincinnati yet, but there is still plenty of time for the Serb to win these tournaments. Match and match, win after win, Nole is getting closer to two of the best tennis players in the history, Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer. However, the Spaniard and the Swiss seem to be the best as for the number of supporters. Djokovic fails to reach an amount of fans that deserves a World No. 1 like him. And yet his abilities are many:

- His story. Djokovic survived during the War, he used to hit against a wall that has bullet holes; Nole's adolescence hasn't been great. Everything he has achieved so far is thanks to his talent and will to succeed.

- The congeniality. Djokovic is nice, many people know him (and knew him before) for his imitations and not for his tennis talent. After having imitated Sharapova and Nadal among the others he was invited on TV around the world and he was described as a showman that "also" knows how to play tennis. But now he is different and in 2014, when asked to imitate Nadal, he said that these imitations bothered the others.

- The family. Djokovic is an example also for this. He is married with Jelena Ristic, his long-time girlfriend. He now has alsoa child and thanks to this he's even more stronger.

- Life off-court. Djokovic is a winner also there. He supports Unicef and the education for his younger compatriots through Novak Djokovic Foundation. He has also a healthy life and speaks many languages, English, Italian, obviously Serb, a little bit of French... in conclusion almost all the supporters can speak with him by talking their Native language. But then why don't they like him?

THE ΤΡUE SYMMETRICAL TUNNING

*** THE ΤΡUE SYMMETRICAL TUNNING – SYNCHRONIZATION requires this : suppose that each one of the bodies A and B is in a distance Y far from the centre C of their distance AB. Suppose that -regarding C- the A and B move inversely towards one another) and they are approaching C covering each one of them a distance X when the light covers the distance BA. The truth here is that regarding A , the C covers X and B covers 2X and the light has covered BA , so all sizes, locations, times are fluid in the basis level. That's because when A sees B at the light emission point , regarding A the B has moved X (because A '' moved '') and 2X from the emission point. The ''calm'' ''moves''. --- (((This is exactly why the aberration angle gets smaller when the speed gets faster (James Bradley). If the naive classic optic was correct the aberration angle would stay the same or it would get bigger))). *** In the previous example the B travels ''2X'' regarding A , BECAUSE it travels X regarding C. So Ιt is obvious that the distance AB that the light travels will be ''different'' regarding A than it is regarding C , althought the light has the ''same'' speed so so every distance is fluid. Etc.

IN VERY SIMPLE WORDS each ''moving'' body can accept that it is ''calm'' and that regarding this body the other bodies ''move'. Suppose that the bodies and C and C''' are in the same position, and B is 10 m away from them. Suppose that B covers 5 m/sec regarding C and the C''' covers 5m/sec regarding C so that C''' and B approach eachother and meet. (Reasonably the C''' and B have moved with 10 m / sec regarding eachother). It follows that C''' (since it accepts that ''it has moved'') accepts that B moved from its original location 5m, while the same C''' (since it accepts that it is ''calm'' and that regarding it's view the other two bodies have moved (the C with 5m/sec and the B with 10m / sec) accepts that B moved from its original location 10m. So distance , time, size, etc are proved fluid at the basis level and the peak definition is psychologicly symmetric and normal in the top level.
-----The EXTRAOCULAR REASON that this happens is SIMPLE : because of the reversibility , essentially the 3 bodies see THE SAME THING : they see that the C and C '' 'move regarding eachother with 5m / sec , and they see B cover 5 m / sec in C and 10 m / sec in the the C'''. 'Thus there is Fundamental Unification in the all Optic and the ''calm'' ''moves''.


*** Νοbody moves or calms regarding himself. This would divide the body in 2 selfs. Evrebody moves or calms regarding somebody else. Regarding himself every body is in a mixed movingcalming situation. That is why the M-Morley experiment shows calming and the experiment of Foucault shows movement of the Earth (since the Coriollis forces are in a moving body). Becides , the earth accelerates and the opposite according to Kepler). ------- It is like the Godel and Russel paradoxes : in the logic there are vise versa paradoxe uncertainties , but throught the all environment (Strawson) and through a higher view there is a General choice : it is only because the earth moves regarding the sun and the sun moves regarding the earth that the the first choice Generally stands.
