YOU CANNOT HAVE CAKE AND EAT IT TOO

     You cannot gain one thing without losing another.  No thorn, No rose.  That is the philosophy of life and as well as science.

      Take a flowing air or water.  As the speed increases, the pressure should drop.  Or if the pressure rises, the speed will go down.  That is Bernoulli's principle employed in air-planes etc.

      Consider falling stone, or water falls.  Here, as potential energy goes down, kinetic energy will pick up.

      Next, Electric transformer, voltage can only be increased at the cost of current or vice versa.

      Take gear systems, either force or speed can be increased.  Both cannot be increased together.

 whenever there is oxidation [lose of electrons, say,  at negative of battery], there must be reduction [gain of electrons at positive] 

      The principle of entropy, says that, if "order" is maintained at one place, disorder will arise at another place.  Within the air-conditioned room, the temperature goes down.  But outside the room, temperature increases.

      They all arise from the fundamental physics law; "Energy is always conserved".  One can not create energy.  We can only manipulate it.

      In our young age, we have youth and health, courage, energy etc.  In the old age, we loose these things and get wealth, wisdom, rest and children.  That is life.  Take as it comes.  Live in the present moment.

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
