YOU HAVE A BIT OF ALAXENDER, SOCRATES, ARISTOTLE IN YOUR BODY!

 
   

          Is  it ? yes.
     Let us say,  long long ago Socrates  took a cupful of water from sea-shore and washed his face.  Today, you took a cupful of water from the sea near your place and washed  your face.  Have you used any of the water molecules that Socrates used long back?  You may think the chances are highly remote.  But the scientific answer is really surprising.

A little calculation: you may skip
     The total mass of earth's  oceans = 10ˆ18 metric ton.
         or    10ˆ24 grams.
     Mass of one water molecule= 3*10ˆ-23 gm.
Hence No. of molecules in the ocean = 3* 10ˆ46

Mass of water in a cup = 250 gm.
No. of water molecules in a cup =8.3*10ˆ24
No. of cups of water in the oceans = No. of molecules in the oceans/ No. of molecules in a cup
                           = 3* 10ˆ46/8.3*10ˆ24
                          = 3.6 *10ˆ21 cups
     Hence No. of cups in the oceans is far less than no. of water molecules in a cup.  That means, if you draw out a cupful of water from a sea, .There is high chance that It might contain some molecules used by Socrates long back

      = No. of molecules in a cup/No. of cups of water in the oceans
     = 8.3*10ˆ24/3.6*10ˆ21
     = 2300 molecules.

That is, "every cup, we draw out from the ocean may contain 2300 molecules that is once used by Socrates( in 400 BC)
    By the same argument, we can conclude that each of us might expect to be made of a considerable number of the atoms and  molecules that made up Socrates or Aristotle's body.
    When one's life ends, he may turn into parts of a tree, flower,  fruit, tooth of a child or nail of a beautiful girl.

    As long as we are alive, we are constituted by collections of various molecules that we call as "I" with ego.

    We know, water is recycled; cloud, rain, river, ocean and back to cloud.  The oxygen-carbon-di-oxide cycle is maintained by the animals and the plants.  There is food-fertilizer cycle again through animals and plants.

     Recycling is the way of the nature.  We should learn and adopt from it.

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...

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...

How smart watch measures heart rate?

       Heart rate monitors in smartwatches typically use photoplethysmography (PPG) technology to measure the wearer's heart rate. PPG is a non-invasive method that uses light to measure changes in blood volume and flow within the body. In smartwatches, this is usually done by shining light from an LED onto the skin, and then detecting the changes in light that result from the pumping of blood through the veins. The smartwatch typically has sensors that pick up the light reflected from the skin and convert it into an electrical signal, which is then processed to determine the wearer's heart rate. This measurement can be taken continuously, or at specific intervals, to provide a real-time reading of the wearer's heart rate. Why green LED: G reen light has a longer wavelength than red light, which makes it easier to detect changes in blood volume and flow through the skin. This is because the longer wavelength of green light is better able to penetrate the s...
