MIRACLE WILL HAPPEN IN YOUR LIFE

ADVT: HOME PROJECTOR IN AMAZON

Some years ago, British illusionist Derren Brown performed a feat that you might call a miracle. In front of a camera, using a fair coin, he flipped ten consecutive heads. The footage was not edited, there was no sleight of hand. The general public was baffled.

Later, Brown revealed his secret. He knew that the probability of throwing ten consecutive heads is 1/1024. (Law of large numbers)

probability of getting one head =1/2
Probability of getting ten consecutive heads.
1/2*1/2*1/2*1/2*1/2*1/2*1/2*1/2*1/2 =1/1024

This means that once in every 1024 attempts you would expect to get 10 consecutive heads. Derren Brown tossed a coin for nine hours and filmed it continuously. He initially broadcasted just the last minute of footage, giving the viewer the impression that he had flipped ten consecutive heads on his first attempt. Today, this process can easily be simulated in computers and results can be verified. This proves that persistent effort will make a miracle happen.

Suppose you want to buy 65 inches OLED TV. At the moment, you do not have the required money. But you keep on exploring various models of the TV and its prices. You also continuously explore your financial situation and EMI schemes. One fine morning, you get a solution and the TV will arrive at your doorstep.
This process can be applied to buy a diamond necklace, get a good job, or enroll in a good college.

A miracle happens, when you try, try, and try without losing patience.

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, ...

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 ...

CASINO'S GAME

Let us find out how the casino survives with mathematics. Say, your friend invite you for a game of dice. You must bet (wager) 2 dollars. If you roll 'six' you will get back 8 dollars. The game will go on for 30 rounds. All sounds good. The probability of rolling 'six' is 1/6. Since the game will be played for 30 times, the 'expected win' is 30*1/6 = 5. That is, you are expected to win 5 rounds out of 30. Hence your gain will be 5 * 8 =40 dollars. ok. This also implies that you will loose 25 rounds. Hence your loss will be 25*2 =50 dollars. Your net gain will be gain-less = 40-50 = -10 dollars. For 30 rounds, the loss is -10 dollars, Hence, for one round =-10/30 = -1/3 dollars. There will be a loss of -1/3 or 0.33 dollars per round. It is not a fair game. Let us make a simple formula to calculate 'Pa...
