CONCEPT OF INFINITY.

-




Hey there! This is your daydreamer asking you a question. Do you know what exactly is infinity? Most of us will say that infinity is a not defined number. Or someone will say that Infinity is opposite of zero. The truth is that no one knows what exactly is infinity. Not even the most intelligent mathematician, believe me. So, we will try to decipher the meaning of infinity today.

Now let us first put forward the problem of finding the value of infinity. According to Google, Infinity is that number which is boundless, endless and larger than any natural number. While making the number line, mathematics had already decided that the number line would be a line, which means a line segment in which both the ends go on for ever. But if both the ends go on for ever, it means that there is no number which will end the number line. At this point of time the mathematicians got confused for first, the number line should not end and second, the value of the last number must be known. So, finally the mathematicians introduced the term infinity and said that the number line ends at infinity at both side. 

After that long para, I think we should really get on the meaning of infinity. First of all, we should know that infinity and zero cannot be expressed in terms of values, i.e., do not have a numerical value. They are relative numbers whose value and intensity changes according to the situation we are using it. Let us take a example. If we compare the mass of dust with the mass of Earth, then we say that the mass of Earth will tend to be equal to infinity. But as soon as we compare the mass of Earth and mass of universe then we say that the mass of Earth tends to be equal to zero. So at the same time, mass of Earth is equal to both zero and infinity. That is relativity for you.

WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IF EARTH LOSES ITS GRAVITY?

  What would happen if Earth loses its Gravity? Well, there can be a lot of possibilities which can happen. The possibilities which I think would happen are listed below:                                                                1. Living on Earth would be out of question. Ouch, didn’t see that coming, did you? But there is a good explanation for that. Everything that makes Earth special such as water, air, plants etc would hover with us as there is no force to anchor them. With the unbalanced atmosphere pressure, our blood vessels would burst into shreds, causing internal bleeding. At that time, don’t think you can go to the hospitals like a normal day. Doctors are also human beings, remember? Also, there are a lots of other factors if we, human beings, manage to escape that. Take this as another ‘problem’ that we can face. In some areas flater (I made this word so please don’t look for it in the dictionary. This means ‘flying water’. It’s not catchy, I know, but you can sugges

PHOBIA SERIES - EXTRA INFO

  Hey guys! Before we find our next fear, I thought of making this blog to make you aware of few things. Let’s get going!   Why being fearless sometimes helps?   Well, this is a good question. Being fearless sometime helps as if we were too fearless, we won’t be very cautious of the dangers lurking besides us. Let’s say if a person is very fearless of dark and he is walking into a dark cave, he won’t be cautious about his surroundings. If there was a big hole front of him, the person would casually walk into the hole and fall to death. If you were fearful of dark, you would be very cautious and would react to the tiniest of sounds. This would help the fearful to survive and fearless to die.   2. Why we are afraid of few things from birth?   Well, this is a very important question. For this answer, we need to go to thousands of years ago, where humans were hunter-gatherers. At that time, we need to know that our ancestors lived in deep jungles, where they encountered several types of an

RUBIK'S CUBE. TRICKS TO SOLVE IT FASTER.

-

  Rubik’s cube is one of the most famous puzzles in which people try competing each other for whom would solve the Rubik’s Cube faster. The world record of solving Rubik’s Cube fastest is currently held by Yusheng Du, who solved the 3 X 3 Rubik’s cube in just 3.47 seconds. Here are my few tips for anyone who wants to solve the Rubik’s Cube faster than he/she normally would.  1. Learn the steps using Algorithms. Instead of learning the sequence of moves, most of the cubers try to learn the moves by a sequence of letters called algorithms. An Algorithm, in terms of Rubik’s Cube, is an operation on the puzzle which reorients its pieces in a certain way. To describe operations on the Rubik's Cube we use the notation: we mark every face of the puzzle with a letter. Here are those symbols and their meanings: • F (Front): the side currently facing the solver • B (Back): the side opposite the front • U (Up): the side above or on top of the front side • D (Down): the side opposite the top,
