HOW MUCH WE KNOW ABOUT OUR UNIVERSE!

It is a common misunderstanding among us that our universe is nothing more than the sun and our 9 planets (which is another mistake, they are 8). Some, with a bit more more knowledge would say that our universe is our galaxy, MILKY WAY.

I am not criticizing any1, you may have all the knowledge about universe but you may not have all of it. Even I dont have any great knowledge, but I am here to share all the info I have.

I'll discuss the details chapter wise and the discussion would be from basic info to somewhat core info.


CHAPTER 1: GRAVITY

Newton in 1600s discovered that every object has a tendency to attract other object. Usually you would say that if the objects attract each other than why aren't you attached to you are screen right now and why aren't you pasted on the wall in front of you? Well believe it or not, but gravity is the weakest force in the universe.

Yes, but despite being so weak, this gravity is the force that has stuck earth and other planets orbiting the sun, and the moon orbiting the earth. Believe it or not but earth's gravity creat a wave on the moon, that jolts the rock of the moon 7 meters. YES A WAVE OF ROCKY SURFACE 7 METER HIGH! and this tide is the only reason known to man that cause the moon to rotate as well!! If there was no gravity pull for the moon then its shape would have been like a rugby ball.

Oh yes, it is the moon, people,  looking like a rugby ball, but its not like it is like a rugby ball, its just an image!!


Gravity varies according to the mass not the size. If you were on the Jupiter, you would feel twice the gravity, you might be able to raise you hand, but not much. Same goes for Neptune, which has 1.5G, where G=9.8m/s2, the grAvity of our planet. Likewise, there is an exoplanet WASP 8B, the planet light year away  from us that has the gravity of 5G, which means that you would feel your skin dangling on your body, and your hair despite being curly, would lay flatout on your head. You may not be able to raise your hands at all, and your face would become very heavy

Below, is professor Brian Cox at a testing center, where he is in a machine that has created 4G gravity and look at his facial expression

He looks a bit disturbed but altogether a bit alright, he said that at 4G he felt his head was very heavy and had problem breathing. Now this is how he looked when he went to 5G

Look at Professor Cox skin, its dangling and according to him it was quite hard to speak and he couldnt see anything at a distance of half a foot, he said that everything was very fogy.

So you see people, if you think that you can go and train at 4G like GOKU (DragonBall Z fans would know what I am talking about), then forget it, you may not be able to raise a hair, forget hands. But I would salute Mr. Brian Cox, for his brave step of getting into this much trouble, just to show us how it feels like being in higher gravity areas.

Oh yeah and one more thing. Do you know which place in our Solar system has the highest gravity and how much is it?

I'll tell you when I return to continue some more info about gravity and our cosmos and influence of gravity in space. Oh and one more thing, if you feel that its boring, then I would like to tell you that I  haven't even started yet. There's a lot more to come.


PEACE People Peace \m/

Oh yeah and one more thing! Do you know that our galaxy is on a collision course!!! :D

WEIRD GADGETS!!

Looks like people are running out of ideas, so they now mix different gadgets into one box to build a new one, here are a few examples of how people are wasting the use of technology in creating useless devices, that are still quite expensive.

LUNCH COMMUNICATOR 

A research group at Ochanomizu University in Japan has developed an unusual bento box called the LunchCommunicator. It consists of a clear lunch box installed with a Creative webcam and a Viliv S5 MID.
The purpose of this lunch box is a bit awkward. Once it is opened as your mother prepares your lunch, the webcam automatically records the whole situation until Mom closes it. And when it is opened again on lunch break, the lunch box plays back the preparation footage while you eat or while you try ignoring your lunch and you begin to feel guilty of not eating what your mother has prepared.
The webcam also records while you eat, so there is no escape from your mother if you plan on giving your lunch to an officemate instead.
Sounds like an ultimate guilt-tripping device.


DIGITAL PEN

Here's something weird and useless, its a pen that is digital, but you still have to write you know :s. the only advantage is saving some ink.

The Dane Elec Z Pen can keep track and digitize pen movements on a sheet of paper. The data is stored in a 1GB receiver unit that also stores the software needed to read the data. The digital pen uses 2 V393 batteries that can last for 75 hours. The receiver comes with a rechargeable battery that can last for 20 hours for each full charge.
The Dane Elec Z Pen is a fully functional pen that can accommodate ink refills sold at any office and school supply stores. You can consider it as a pen given some much needed touch of technology. The Dane Elec Z Pen is available at Firebox for 100 UK Pounds or around US$161.

VACUUM CLEANER WITH A CAMERA

So now what, you will use a vacuum cleaner to record videos??

Robotic vacuums have become more popular since they can clean floor areas by themselves without any help. A convenient appliance indeed to have at home for doing those regular floor cleaning chores. And Samsung has just upped the ante by adding a camera on it on the recently released TangoView Robot Vacuum Cleaner.
The Samsung TangoView VC-RL87W Robot Vacuum Cleaner now features a built-in video camera. Not only does it clean those floors, the robot vacuum can also double as a home monitoring device that allows home owners to view what is going on in rooms that the robot vacuum is currently cleaning. Video feed can be viewed from a PC, a smartphone or a tablet (OH! So this is nothing more than a way of selling Tablets and Smartphone). This mode is only activated when the cleaning mode is off, so whats the use then '~'. The TangoView robotic vacuum also comes with a built-in mic that allows users not only to see but also to hear what is going on. The Samsung TangoView Robot Vacuum Cleaner is expected to be available in Korea at any time now. It is expected to cost around 799,000 Korean Won or around US$707. I'd rather spend that much money for some outing...;D

The Brother Earthquakes and their Sister Tsunamis

WOW!! Its not like I am excited about all the destruction in JAPAN. I saw the whole coverage for 3 hours constantly, feeling sorry for the poor people. I even met a Japanese student that day, who had his head in his hands, near to tears, watching his country facing one of the biggest disaster of all time. I did tell him that I felt very sorry for him.

He told me that he talked to his mom on cell phone and she told him that she cannot contact any of their relatives, which could have meant that the landlines were completely destroyed or that..... well lets face it, this kind of destruction hardly seem to leave anyone alive.

I said WOW! because the size of the tsunami wave that came that day was huge. even the cameramen shooting the live telecast were amazed. HOW! how does an earthquake, despite being so destructive itself, can bring upon something even more destructive than itself??.

here are some facts and figures that I collected from the internet and other sources.

• Date-Time:
• Friday, March 11, 2011 at 05:46:23 UTC
• Friday, March 11, 2011 at 02:46:23 PM at epicenter
• Location: 38.322°N, 142.369°E
• Depth: 24.4 km (15.2 miles) set by location program
• Region: NEAR THE EAST COAST OF HONSHU, JAPAN
• Distances:
• 130 km (80 miles) E of Sendai, Honshu, Japan
• 178 km (110 miles) E of Yamagata, Honshu, Japan
• 178 km (110 miles) ENE of Fukushima, Honshu, Japan
• 373 km (231 miles) NE of TOKYO, Japan

Tsunami Max. Height: 7 meters

No. of dead people: 13,000

Homeless People: 10 million.

And the worst of all is the nuclear radiation leak from 2 of 4 nuclear plants and a fire developed in plant number 4 by now.

I would like you people to search about HAARP. And then give me your feedback

PEACE for JAPAN People
