Science, Mysteries and Thoughts

Sir Isaac Newton was a physicist who discovered the famous Newton's Law of Motion. He also discovered the Theory of Gravity, according to which all the objects in the universe attracts all other objects with a force which is proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them. He believed that space and time are separate entity. Albert Einstein built up on Newtonian physics and postulated the Theory of Special Relativity. He stated that the speed of light in vacuum is constant ( c = 299,792 km/s) for everyone, no matter how fast observer or the light source are traveling. Suppose two trains are moving parallelly in the same direction. The speed of the first train is 50 km/hr and speed of the second train is 100 km/hr. When a person from the first train measures the speed of the second train then he finds it to be moving at 50 km/hr (100 km/hr - 50 km/hr). In contrast, when a person travels in a spacecraft at 0.5 c ...

India is the 7th largest country by area and ranges 2,933 km from eastern to western most point. Countries with contiguous land wider than India from eastern to western most point based on longitudinal distance are Russia (169.65° W - 27.32° E), Canada (141° W - 55.62° W), China (134.77° E - 73.49° E), United States (124.73° W - 66.95° W), Kazakhstan (87.31° E - 46.50° E), Australia (153.63° E - 113.16° E), Brazil (73.98° W - 34.79° W), Mongolia (119.92° E - 87.73° E), and Mexico (117.12° W - 86.74° W)

Consciousness is a phenomenon which has intrigued numerous people for a long time. With advent of artificial intelligence, scientists are debating on what consciousness really is. It is defined as the awareness of individual existence, their surroundings, thoughts, memories, and feelings. Complex biological systems like human brains can make us conscious. The question arises if other animals and trees are conscious? Can computers ever be conscious? Is consciousness embedded in the fabric of our universe? These are some of the mind-boggling questions which push the limit of human understanding of the universe. People are intrigued to understand the unknowns of our universe. These questions are mostly unknown, and we can only extend our understanding by collectively looking into it from physics, neurological, and philosophical standpoint. Our conciousness is part of the universal conciousness (Image credit: Shutterstock) Galileo once said that taste, smell, color is perceived by the livi...

We have developed a platform for like-minded people to exchange their passions. I am a student of ISM Dhanbad and my friend Subhadeep Purkayastha came up with this idea to make this platform. It all started when Chetan Bhagat came to ISM Dhanbad and delivered a lecture regarding why big tech companies are based out of India. Our journey started with phone calls to discuss the idea, and I started to learn programming using W3 Schools. I started to make and host simple website using free hosting provider. During my summer holidays, I would spend hours trying different tools and packages to make better websites. Meanwhile, Subhadeep tried to pitch the idea to others to get traction. During the process we included Aftab Jamal and Swastik Roy to help us with various aspects. Homepage of PassionBeat.com We have been through various ups and downs; we pitched our idea in front of The Indus Entrepreneurs (TIE) and also reached hundreds of users during its peak usage. We have been covered by Yo...
