  Ha. Questions is bit weird, right? Or obvious, you might say. But the answer is no. Colours technically don’t really exist. Before you book an appointment with your eye doctor, you must read the following to know more about colours. Now, we all know that grass is green. But did we ask ourselves  why it i s green? Maybe not. Now, lemme tell you why it is green. We all know that white light is a combo of 7 colours. Violet, Indigo, Blue, Green, Yellow, Orange and Red. These different ‘colours’ are actually different frequency. Red has the maximum frequency while violet has the minimum frequency. Because of the variation in the frequency, our eyes apprehend different types of colours. So far good? Ok. Now, different objects have different properties. Some deflect colours while some absorb. Let’s take the example of grass. Grass has a property to absorb all the colours expect green. They deflect only green colour and hence, we say that grass is green. Some objects deflect more that 1 colo

  Ah yes! This is a superb questions. We all know that climate change is one of the biggest crisis the world is currently facing. But this crisis is bit different than the others, for this is not only gonna affect the present youth but is also gonna affect the future generations. So, out of the blue, electric cars were invented to lessen the effect of climate change. But little did they know that it was not gonna help us in a long run. This is because just like petrol cars, electric cars also have some disadvantages. 1. Less Powerful - When compared to petrol cars, electric cars are less powerful. This is because a tank full of petrol gives more energy than a fully recharged battery. Also, electric cars need a lot more energy to travel than petrol cars. So electric cars are less powerful and have to be recharged more often. 2. Lithium Batteries - Now, lithium is usually used to build rechargable batteries. But the problem is that lithium is not readily available. In fact they are too r

  What would the life be if we were residing in Mercury? Hmm... That is a tricky one. But one thing would be clear. We and the others would be floating this very minute because Mercury has a very low gravitational pull. Air conditioners would have been invented a long time before because Sun would have been just about 66.6 million kilometer away. It would have been a hell lot of trouble to squeeze in 7.9 billion people in this small planet. Moreover, life in mercury would be like life in a desert. People would be receiving extreme heat for the first 58 days and extreme cold for the next 58 days. This is because Mercury takes about 58 days and 15 hours to rotate around its axis and the side facing the Sun faces extreme heat while the side facing away from the Sun shivers because of unbelievable coldness. Remember, night would be fully dark because there would be no moon to reflect light of the sun and light up the night sky. The best thing and the worst thing would be that you would cel

This is a good question. But answer is simple. Water bears. Water bears are the toughest animal is the world. When I say water bears, the thing which might come into your mind must be the big brown bears licking honey or a polar bear swimming in the cold waters of artic. But this creature is different. It's actual name is Tardigrade. They are weird, microsopic animals that looks like a fat woodlice. They look like insects, but they are not. In fact, they are so different and unique that they have their own group 'Tardigrada'. Presently, there are 900 known-species of this interesting creature. They grow just over 1 mm and eat plants, mosses and bacteria and live almost everywhere. They are called water bears because they waddle and usually live where water is present. But they also live happily where not a single drop of water is found. Now, you might find this creature pretty amusing and weak but I can asure you that it is toughest animal till date. As usual, we will compa

  Well, one cannot say that Brain is the most beautiful thing on Earth, but you need to know that it’s purpose is not to be beautiful but to work. Believe it or not, Human brains is one of the most intelligent brains ever known. This pinnacle has been achieved because of evolution. Animals usually use their teeth, claws, powerful bodies or their camouflaging capabilities to survive. But human are different. They totally rely on their sense of experience, knowledge and skills to survive. We could not have survived if it wasn’t of our powerful and big brains. But this has come with a problem. As brains started evolving, they got bigger and bigger. Brains are one of the most energy-hungry organs in our body. It uses 15% of the blood and 20% of the oxygen in your body. This is consumption level after brain is fully build. In toddlers, the brain consumes 60% of the energy available. This is because toddlers have to learn a lot in a short span of time like how to eat, how to talk, etc. So, w

Trachtenberg system is a system which helps us to perform very fast math calculations. It was invented by Jakow Trachtenberg, who was a famous Russian mathematician. He invented this system to distract himself when he was in a Nazi concentration camp. Okay, enough of that talk. Let's dive and check what the system is about. This system, as I told before, actually helps us to perform mental calculation faster. There are a set of pre-memorized calculations in this system, which is probably the secret of this system's accuracy and speed. According to the book "The Trachtenberg Speed System of Basic Mathematics", a boy used Trachtenberg method to solve 5132437201 times 452736502783 in just 70 seconds. This time, I'm not joking. Clearly, this system is very effective and fast. But sometimes one can get muddled up, for the method can sometimes be slightly confusing. But all in all, this method is very cool, fast and accurate. So, how did this system help me? Well, I l

  Hey guys! Topic for today is MUN. So, MUN actually stands for Model United Nations. It is a replica or a model of the real UN (United Nations). In this conference, we, as delegates, talk about the world issues and try to find the solutions to eradicate these issues. To be honest with you, I really like these conference. But the one and only disadvantage I find about these MUNs is the time. Man, we have got to sit for about 2 days! Yup. You heard that right. Of course, time is allotted for sleeping and eating, but this conference just grabs 2 days of our life. Um... Steal is the right word, ig. Anyways, back to the topic. So, what you need to do in this conference is to sit and research till you drop dead. Also, you need to make speeches and need to speak before the EB members (The people who would judge you) and ask a tons and tons of questions to the other delegates. Research, speak, ask and answer questions is the mantra of these conference. Well, I think this is enough to make you

Life is a journey As people usually say Bumps and cracks are common  Which appear everyday   It depends how our car is Rather than how the road is Road is same for everyone But same car is possessed by no one   No one is gonna help you out Even if it is just to turn the car about For, others like to see you trip And laugh gleefully as you cripple   Some people might seem kind But don’t close your eye For, the person might make you blind And loot you without a bye   There are few people whom you can rely upon Like parents, friends and teachers But relying a lot is a con Because others are selfish creatures   This is the truth of life It is up to you to throw it or take BTW, who am I When it is your journey to make?
