IM... POSSIBLE WORDS

BLACK LIGHT
Can you see things with invisible light? Yes, you can.. The ultraviolet rays are invisible. When it is shone on an object quoted with florescent chemicals, they emit back light and appear bright. For example, the security thread of a dollar bill glows green under black light, a safe guard against counterfeiting . So light can be invisible and black.

SOLID GAS OR DRY ICE.
Under high pressure and cold temperature, carbon-di-oxide gas directly becomes solid called dry ice. It is widely used in fire extinguishers which emit them as white powder.

DYNAMIC EQUILIBRIUM:
How can a thing be at rest and moving at the same time? Imagine a queue is moving through a room. At a time, the room can accommodate only 10 persons. So the room always have 10 people, yet the people keep moving. This is dynamic equilibrium.

HOT ICE
Using vinegar and baking soda, one can make boiling ice like form to attract kids.

LIVING DEAD:
A dead virus can at any time come to life under suitable conditions. A lifeless seed can give birth to living plant also under suitable conditions.

WATER BLADE
A highly pressurized water jet can cut a metal. Machines are available to produce such a jet of water.

LIGHT GUN
A concentrated and highly intense light is called laser. The laser can act like a bullet , knife and an arrow.

Science and poem give birth to new and strange combination of words.

THE EARTH, A SUPER ORGANISM

JOIN MY COURSE: "Become a programmer in a day with python" A man called 'love lock' (what a name) proposed a theory called Gaia theory, named after Greek Goddess. It says, "Earth is a self-regulating organism like a human being. The organic life in it interacts with in-organic matter and maintains atmosphere, temperature and environment". Hence the earth is still suitable for the life to thrive. Imagine, in a particular place, there are lot of flowers. Some flowers are white and some are darkly coloured. We know, white reflects light and heat while dark absorbs the same. White flowers can thrive in hot climate. But dark flowers requires cold climate. The absorption and reflection balances and the environment reaches average, warm temperature at which both the flowers can co-exist. This is the essence of "Gaia" theory. On our earth, the oxygen constitute 20% of the atmosphere. The oxygen level is always mai

THE PARABOLA

A jet of water shooting from a hose pipe will follow a parabolic path. What is the so special about parabola. Y= x^2 Draw a graph for the above equation. It will result in a parabola. This parabola is also called unit parabola. Any equation involving square will yield a parabola. Example: Y = 2x^2 +3x+3 (also called quadratic equation) X= 2 and -2, both satisfies the equation 4 = X^2. Parabolic equations always have two solutions. Any motion taking place freely under gravity follows parabolic path. Examples: An object dropped from a moving train, A bomb dropped from flying plane, A ball kicked upwards. If a beam of light rays fall on the parabolic shaped mirror, they will be reflected and brought to focus on a point. This fact is made use of in Dish Antenna, Telescope mirrors, etc. Inverted parabola shape is used in the construction of buildings and bridges. Because the shape is able to bear more weight. A plane

DISORDER IS THE "ORDER OF THE DAY"

Imagine a balloon full of air. The air molecules are moving randomly inside the balloon. Let us pierce the balloon with a pin. The air rushes out. Why should not the air molecules stay inside the balloon safely and ignore the little hole? That is not the way the world works. The molecules always "want to occupy as many states as possible". Hence the air goes out in the open to occupy more volume. The things always goes into disorder (entropy) and the disorder increases with time. The above statement is what we call "second law of thermodynamics". Consider a cup of coffee on the table. Suppose the heat from entire room flows to your cup of coffee, the coffee will boil and the rest of the room will freeze. Freezing means bringing things to order and arrangement. It violates the second law. Hence it will never happen. Hence heat must flow from high temperature to low temperature and not the other way. The air molecules in y
