'BLOCK CHAIN' MAY RULE THE WORLD

1. Why 'block chain'?
It keeps thousands of strangers honest and consistent.
2. What is block chain? be brief.
It is the digital information-blocks stored in a public data base- chain.
3. What is a block chain technically?
It is a distributed, decentralized public ledger.
4. What are blocks?
They have three parts.
1. They store info about transactions like the date, time, amount of your recent purchase (an example)
2. It will store info. about who is participating in transactions using unique name like 'user name'.
3. Block stores a unique code called a 'hash' that allows us to tell it apart from every other block.
A block can store upto 1MB of data.
5. How block chain works?
When a block stores a new data, it is added to the block chain. To add a block to the chain, four things must happen.
1. A transaction must occur
2. The transaction must be verified. The network of computers often in thousands verify the transaction. That is, they confirm the details of the purchase, transaction time, amount, participants.
3. After the transaction has been verified as accurate, it gets the green light. The block may join the chain.
4. Finally, the block is given a unique, identifying code called a 'hash' once hashed, the block can be added to the block chain automatically
Example 1:
Smart contract:
Say, I am renting you my apartment using smart contract. I agree to give you the 'door-code' as soon as you pay me your security deposit. The smart contract- a piece of computer code residing in the block chain- would automatically exchange my door-code for your security deposit on the date of the rental. If I do not supply the door code by the rental date, the smart contract refunds your security deposit. This eliminates a third-party mediator.
Example 2:
Automate wills:
One can store 'digital will' on a block-chain network. When used alongside smart contracts, the technology can automatically give out inheritances to beneficiaries once they meet the desired criteria. Since everything is recorded on this immutable block chain network, the 'will' is clear and legally binding.

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...
