LIGHT - THE PERPETUAL MOTION

To understand light, first we should understand maxwell's equations. There are four equations. I have given them in words form below.

1. Single positive and negative electric charges exist. The electric field flowing out from a charge is always proportional to the quantity of the charge.

2, There is no single magnetic pole. only magnetic dipole exist (north and south). The magnetic field lines starting at any point around the North pole will always loop back and ends in south pole. Hence the total field diverging out from a magnetic dipole is zero.

3. A changing electric field creates changing magnetic field which encircles the electric field and also acts perpendicular to it.

4. A changing magnetic field creates changing electric field which encircles the magnetic field and also acts perpendicular to it.

If the statement 3 happens, the statement 4 will follow and vice versa. Consequently a wave called electromagnetic wave will arise. The light is a form electromagnetic wave.

When a ray of light is emitted from a source, it will continue to travel for ever, yes for ever. Source of light (LED,Sun) does not contribute to the motion. It is a self sustaining motion as stated by Maxwell,s third and fourth law. For a bullet, the speed and energy is given by the gun. A bow is responsible for the arrow's motion. But the lamp is not responsible for the light's motion.

We know, star light travel through universe for millions of years. So far, No one has seen a light ray coming to a screeching halt.

Hence the light's motion is a perpetual motion.

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...

THE WORK HORSE "="

One cannot think of a mathematical step without 'is equal to ' . It balances right hand side and left hand side. It aids simplification and manipulation of a mathematical expression. example: 2(A+B) = C 2A+2B = C 2A = C-2B A = C-2B/ 2 In an electronic calculator, the pressing of ' = " sign executes an asthmatic expression or simply calculates. In computer languages, it plays very important role. A = B When a computer looks at this expression, the value stored in the location named B is just transferred to the storage named A . After execution both A and B will have the same value an...

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, ...
