EXCEPTION PROVES THE RULE

 

   Majority may follow the rule.  There may be a few exceptions.  Exceptions does not disprove the rule.  But  prove it strongly.

1. All living beings follow a life cycle.  They born, grow, multiply, live and die.  But  virus never dies.  It  always spring back to life in watery environment.  
2. Normally  insects eat plants.  We use pesticide to  kill them.  But there are plants which capture and eat insects.
3. All  shapes have two sides.  That is, inner and  outer surface.  
Take a ribbon of paper.  Give it to a half twist.  Paste the ends together.  It is mobious strip and it has only one side.  
4. Normally  we deal with whole numbers in our daily life.  50000 rupees of salary, cost of 320 dollars, height of 172 cm.  
But nature does not deal with such sharp numbers.  The mathematical constants pi = 3.14.. and e= 2.71.. are irrational numbers.  That is, they are never ending numbers. 
5. Basic physical quantities mass, length and time always remains constant as for as our experience goes.  
But Einstein's theory of relativity says: when things moves at the speed of light, the basic quantities begins to change.  
6. We experience 12 hours day and night cycle.  But at the poles of the earth, it is 6 month duration due to tilting of the earth.  
7. By mixing the three primary colours red, green, blue in different proportions,  we can produce all the millions of colours including white.  But black is not a colour.  It is simply absence of light.
8. All the mathematical operations have reverse operations.
  example: 4^2 = 16
                 root of 16 = 4      
But  modular arithmetic is the one way operation.
       14 MOD 6 = 2
Divide the 14 by 6 and get the reminder.  Hence it is used in cryptography.
9. All liquids {like oils} are quickly heated up.  But water requires lot of heat to get heated up.  That is why, well water remains cold even in summer.
10. We know the properties of metals.  But we also know mercury is a metal and it is an exception.       So do not put off by exceptions. Rules will always prevail.

Your heart -you do not know

  Size and Location: The human heart is roughly the size of a clenched fist and is located slightly to the left of the center of the chest. Despite its relatively small size, the heart plays a crucial role in pumping blood throughout the entire body. Heartbeat Variability: The heart does not beat at a constant rate. The interval between heartbeats can vary, and this variability is considered a sign of a healthy heart. Factors such as breathing, emotions, and physical activity influence the heartbeat. Electrical Conduction: The heart's contractions are controlled by electrical impulses. The sinoatrial (SA) node, often called the "natural pacemaker," generates electrical signals that regulate the heartbeat and coordinate the pumping of blood. Blood Pumping Capacity: On average, the human heart pumps about 2,000 gallons (or 7,570 liters) of blood each day. Over a lifetime, this amounts to pumping enough blood to fill several Olympic-sized swimming pools. Heart Chambers and V...

How does your smart phone detect motion, steps, rotation, and location?

 How it works-1  An accelerometer in a smartphone is a microelectromechanical system (MEMS) device that measures acceleration and tilt. It works by detecting changes in motion by measuring the vibration or acceleration of the device. The accelerometer consists of a small mass suspended on a spring inside a sealed chamber. When the device is subjected to acceleration, the mass moves relative to the device, causing a change in capacitance that can be measured and processed by the smartphone's hardware. The accelerometer measures acceleration in three dimensions (x, y, and z) and provides data that the smartphone's software can use to determine the device's orientation, detect motion, and track changes in velocity and acceleration. The accelerometer is used for a variety of purposes in a smartphone, including screen rotation, motion tracking for games and fitness apps, and detecting the position of the device for navigation and location services. Additionally, it can be used t...

How smart watch measures heart rate?

       Heart rate monitors in smartwatches typically use photoplethysmography (PPG) technology to measure the wearer's heart rate. PPG is a non-invasive method that uses light to measure changes in blood volume and flow within the body. In smartwatches, this is usually done by shining light from an LED onto the skin, and then detecting the changes in light that result from the pumping of blood through the veins. The smartwatch typically has sensors that pick up the light reflected from the skin and convert it into an electrical signal, which is then processed to determine the wearer's heart rate. This measurement can be taken continuously, or at specific intervals, to provide a real-time reading of the wearer's heart rate. Why green LED: G reen light has a longer wavelength than red light, which makes it easier to detect changes in blood volume and flow through the skin. This is because the longer wavelength of green light is better able to penetrate the s...
