WHY WE ARE STILL NOT ABLE TO FIND FLIGHT MH370

The GPS technology can even detect 'a fallen leaf'. Why we are not able to locate the debris of flight MH370? Let us try to find the answers.

On 8 March 2014, Malaysian airlines flight MH370 vanished EnRoute from Kolalumpur to Beijing with 227 passengers and 12 crew members on board. At the time of writing (6 years of after the incident), still there is no sign of the plane.

PROBLEMS IN SEARCHING:
1. The flight communications equipment was turned off before disappearance.
2. The combination of the aircrafts flight speed and known distance suggests that it might have crashed into the ocean somewhere about 1600 miles to the west of Perth, Australia. It is about as far from populated land as it is possible to get which makes the search site difficult to get to.
3. It is very deep - 3890 meters-about half the height of mount Everest.
4. The search area is more than 23000 square miles wide.
5. Total darkness underwater. The pressure is about 500 atmospheres. That is 500 times normal pressure.
6. It is not even certain that the plane is in the search area.

To understand and visualize, we will shrink everything down. Let us scale down everything by the factor 2500. Then the search area will be the size of football field. The waters will be 1.5m deep. The plane will be 2.5m long and we will be 0.064cm tall.

    It is like searching well-known needle in the hay stock, if the needle is really lost there.
    The disappearance of MH370 has been described as 'one of the biggest mysteries in Modern aviation history".
     The Malaysian government has officially declared the disappearance of the aircraft an accident.

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...
