ARDENT NOVICE

What if i throw chilling water on you or scare you will a big booom?? Your initial reaction will be a shock or after that you will yell at me.But why i am talking about this to you?? Thats because we are going to discuss about an ancient phenomenon which is inherited but has no use for us today.And that is Goosebumps. What are goosebumps ?? Let us get inside bathroom and gather some courage to take a bath.When you stand naked or after pouring cold water on your body, you will observe tiny pores rising up on your skin like our hairs on arms and legs will stand and cause uneven skin and thats what we call goosebumps . These are one of the inherited traits we got from our ancestors . And these are mostly useless now a days. We will know the reason further in the blog. When do Goosebumps occur?? There are mainly 3 reasons for goosebumps to occur: Reaction to cold Reaction to shock (fear) Reaction to music How do goosebumps occur ?? Goosebumps occur when w...

One night i was surfing on my mobile and i came to know that nearest galaxy to us is  Andromeda Galaxy which is about 2.5 million light years away from us. After reading it i was amazed and one question pooped up in my mind that  How do scientists measure distance between objects in space ?? First of all let us understand that distance in space is measured with reference to light i.e. in light years. One light year is the distance which light travels in one year which is approx 10 trillion km (9,500,000,000,000 km) which is so huge. 1.How do we measure distance with light ?? We measure distance by using time taken by light to reach at an object and multiplied that time with speed of light.For example Suppose light takes 2 hours to reach from one object to another. So the distance= speed*time                         = 1,080,000,000km/hr * 2hr                 ...

Approximately 73 years ago, humans witnessed the limits to which any human can go for his/her satisfaction.On august 6, 1945 , Japan suffered a great loss done by United States by dropping one of the most destructive weapon of its time Nuclear bomb .  But what is so special about any nuclear bomb?? Everyone says that it is very destructive and can destroy anything ,but question is HOW ?? How a bomb can cause this much destruction?? Let us know it here in this blog. This blog will be little bit scientific so i will try to keep it simple and we will understand basics by leaving the complications.  Let us start with its principle Atomic bombs work on the principle of fission .To understand this firstly know about atoms. Atom is a positive mass consists of proton and neutron in center with negatively charged electrons revolving around it. As you go up the ladder to atoms their mass , number of protons, neutrons and electrons increases and they become complex. Scientist...

Yesterday i was running a 100 m race in Olympics 2020(Tokyo) and was able to break record of world's fastest man Usain Bolt by completing race in just 9.01 seconds and after taking the gold medal, i woke up and went for a bath. That was an amazing dream. Isn't it ??But what really the dreams are ?? Are they any prediction of future ?? Or our incomplete desire ?? Let us know about this interesting topic Why do we dream?? over here. A dream can be a combination of images, ideas, emotions and that usually occurs without our permission in the mind during certain stage of sleep.Many scientists are working to find the purpose of dreams.The scientific study of dreams is called oneirology .

Put a piece of wood in front of your eyes are you able to see through it ??Maybe no, hold piece of plastic in front of you ,can you see through it ?? No. Hold a piece of glass in front of you , you can through it ,thats different than others.But why ?? Ask anyone around you that why glass is transparent, they will simply say that because it don't absorb light and allow it to pass through it , which is right but why so ??Why don't it absorb light like other materials do ?? Have you wondered that something so solid can be so invisible ?? To understand this we need to understand that what glass is and where it comes from.It all began in earths crust where two most common elements are silicon and oxygen .These react together to form silicon dioxide whose molecules arrange themselves in crystal form called quartz. Quartz are commonly found in sand and are main ingredients in types of glass. When quartz are heated high enough the energy makes the molecules vibr...

In this we will talk about very interesting question that how and why cloudbursts happens ?? But first of all we must know about types of clouds. 20 miles above from the earth space gets starts but between that 20 miles earth has its atmosphere which is made up of a number of layer.Clouds used to float between these layers Altostrats cloud: These cloud float between 2,000-6,000 ft above earth's surface.These clouds are in rapid motion and use to change their shape frequently.And quickly causes rain. Altocumulus clouds: These are similar to altostrats clouds.They floats upto 6000 ft above surface but they are small and of golden edges.At the time of sunrise they seem beautiful. Cirrus cloud: These float between 400-18,000 ft above surface.These are tailed shaped clouds and less dense. Cirrocumulus cloud: These clouds float upto 20,000 ft above surface.Thses clouds are small rounded puffs that usually appear in long rows high in the sky. Cirrostratus cloud: These fl...

One of the most beautiful and eye catching beauty of nature occurring in atmosphere is  R a i n b o w ,which occurs mostly during rain or after it. In Norse region ,the rainbow bridge called the bifrost which connects earth with heaven which can only used by gods and warriors who lost their lives in battle. In ancient beliefs of japan , rainbow was considered as bridge that was used by ancestors to descent the planet. But what really rainbow is ?? How its made ?? Rainbow is a natural phenomenon that is caused by reflection,refraction and dispersion of light in water droplets present in sky. Rainbows are full circles . However ,the observer mostly sees only an arc above the ground. But why rainbows are curved but not straight ?? This is because there are a collection of suspended droplets in air that are capable of concentrating the dispersed light at angle of 40-42 degree relative to original path of light. Everyone at different places can have different view of ...

Maybe none of natural phenomenons has aroused as much excitement,fear and questioning in our minds as much Lightning has done. Ancient people believed that lightning is god's punishment to those on whom he is angry.They thought it as punishment given by God Jupiter . But what really lightning is ?? With the help of science we came to know that lightning is a natural phenomenon in which a sudden electrostatic discharge occurs .Lightning is like a giant natural circuit breaker.When the balance in atmosphere's natural electrical charge overloads,it explodes.When there is friction between two clouds then the charges between them get attracted towards the opposite charges and to maintain electric neutrality(balance) electric discharge occurs which is visible to us as lightning . To know more about lightning we must discuss about its types.Mainly lightning is of three types: IntraCloud lightning: When lightning occurs between a single cloud due to striking of posit...
