EYE OF THE STROM

     


      Head is a kind of spherical surface covered with hair.  Hair grows in all the directions.  When you comb the hair, you are trying to flatten the hairs smoothly all over the head.  In this process, there will be at least one point in the head which cannot be covered with hairs or at least one tuft will be there.  Or the hairs will stand straight at one point.

     In short,"when you comb the hairs, there will be one null point."  This is called "hairy ball theorem".(HBT)
     Wind flowing over the earth is similar to the hairs flowing over the head.  Suppose the wind flows from East to west on the globe, there will be two null points- North pole and South pole.
     In a cyclone, the air whirls around.  At the centre of it, no air flows- a null point called eye of the cyclone.  Logically, the wind cannot cross over the 'eye'. If it does, it will disturb the whirling wind.  So there is a calm at the centre of the storm.
     This topic arises, when the vectors are applied to topology in Math.
     Consider a rotating disc (DVD). when you move from the outer edge to center of the disc, the speed of the points (in the disc) gradually decreases and no motion at all at the center point.  This can be compared with HBT.

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...

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...
