YOU ARE BURNING LIKE A CANDLE-24X7

The candle, a stick of wax (oil) burns with oxygen and produce CO2 and water. Also gives out light and heat energy.

We take in carbs (carbohydrates), oil, fat. They are converted into glucose in our body. We also inhale oxygen. The glucose burns (reacts) with oxygen and yield CO2 which we exhale out; water which the body eliminates. In this process also, the energy in the forms of heat, invisible light is released. The body uses this energy for its functioning. Here the invisible light is infra-red radiation. Our body continuously emit IR waves. That is why, we and animals can be detected using infra red cameras and binoculars even in the dark night. Also our body is warm and above the room temperature always.

Medical science says the vital parameters of our body are 1. Temperature 2. oxygen level 3. Heart pulse rate 4. Blood pressure. Now we are able to understand, why they are vitals.

A dancer glow more with IR radiation because she work vigorously and also burn the food vigorously.

An average adult uses 2000 calories of energy daily. Hence we should plan our intake of food around 2000 calories. If we take more food than required, the sugars and carbs are converted into fat and stored as a reserve for future. Hence our body weight goes up.

This is the food-rich world. We are facing the problem of plenty. We come across special occasions like wedding frequently. We are offered sumptuous dinner every now and then. In a mall, there is not a single food item without sugars.
Hence the responsibility is on us. Watch and measure what you take in. Do not hesitate to say "No' to extra food.
Lead a long and healthy life.

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 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. ...

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 ...
