Where does it end?

By Swapnil Patel
Human imaginations have created a lot of things. It is really great. Most of the beautiful made made marvels are outcome of our imagination. I hope, I satisfy all my reader's thoughts.

And therefore, I would request you to imagine something I say. Just imagine that you are on a space ship with infinite fuel and you have special blessings of God for dying only when you want and not get old and you start your journey to the edge of the universe... What would you find there???

Quite hypothetical! And supernatural too.

But we encounter various things in this long journey, to the outer space. Our solar system itself is interesting... Electrical too.

Starting from Sun, as all of us know, there are 8 planets, in one of the Trans Neptuninan Object is our dear departed Pluto and it's hundred other small friends. The come the Kuiper Belt, interestingly home to most of our comets and finally, the Scattered Disc with icy small planets... Solar system ends with the Helio-Pause, a virtual cathode absorbing the solar winds from the anode, our Sun [Thunderbolts.info]. Outside, is the vast expanse of our galaxy, the Milky-way. But there is nothing new in these things.

 Most of us know about the outer cosmos. The black holes, dead stars and many more things. But what is at the edge of all this? Where does all this end? How does it look like? Is it similar to our solar system, every thing stopping like never expected? Or is it endless energy pushing the edge outwards?

Many hypothesis are given in this matter and many are satisfying. The National Geographic Channel and Discovery Network have shown a documentary namely Journey to the edge of the Universe. The video is quite satisfactory for curious youngsters who wish to know about space.

Whatever the sources provide, most of us can imagine huge amount of energy at the edge pushing out the boundary outwards and resulting in the expansion of it. Prior to the edge, we would find some old galaxies, formed after mixing of smaller galaxies. There would be dead stars floating and maybe black-holes too. "Maybe" because these energy eating monsters don't even allow light to pass through them, and such a thing at a place full of energy might be impossible. Well I need comments on this topic!

Whatever our edge would look like, it would be interesting to know about it. In any near future, we don't expect light from the edge to fall into the sensors of our space telescopes. But our progeny might be lucky enough to examine those things.

What we can do to sooth our curiosity is to imagine to the furthest extent and save our imaginations in a hope that one day, it would be proved true. After all, our imagination har brought us to this level...

Thanks for reading,
Good Day.

The Mightiest Computers on Earth

By Swapnil Patel
Over the decades, we have evolved, not just as human beings, but also in terms of technology. A simple smart-phone today can do more that what the best personal computer could have done ten or fifteen years ago. And when this thought comes into our minds, we can't help but think "If such a small system can do so much, what are we actually capable of doing with supercomputers?" So let's look into some of the fastest computers on this planet today, May 2017. The Computers are ranked based on their Floating point Operations Per Second (FLOPS), or in layman terms, calculations per second. However, at this point a supercomputer is capable of certain Quadrillion calculations per second, thus we use Peta FLOPS. The speed pf these systems were calculated using the LINPACK benchmarks . 10. Trinity, Los Alamos National Laboratory The Trinity project is managed and operated by Los Alamos National Laboratory and Sandia National Laboratories under the Alliance for Com...

How do we affect the Earth's magnetic field...?

By Swapnil Patel
#006 We all like good directions in life. It hurts when we come to know that someone has shown us a wrong direction. That can really make us angry. But wait! What if I tell you that we ourselves are tending to show the wrong direction to us!? Well, we tend to but, we cannot do anything for such a matter. Doesn't matter what we can do of it. The biggest question is, how do we do such an act? Well, you think of it by the time I explain Earth's magnetic field. Earth's Magnetic field The core of Earth is formed of molten Iron, Nickel and traces of Cobalt and other few metals. In molten state, the metals get ionized or the outermost electrons get excited out of bounds of the metal atoms. Now, imagine these electrons and ions as free charges. Due to the rotation of Earth about it's axis causes even these charges to revolve around their axis. And as per Ampere's and Oesterd's laws, moving charges cause magnetic field in the direction of their axis. They work on th...

Indian Navy's new Ensign is a Design Failure

By Swapnil Patel
 Vexillology is the study of history, symbolism and usage of flags, or just the "study of flags", and subsequently, vexillography is the art of flag making. A vexillographer, or someone who designs a flag, must follow some simple guiding principles to make a flag that is appealing, inspiring, and, most of all, tells a narrative.  The reason why I am explaining to you these terms like a school teacher is that when I first saw the unveiling of the new Indian Naval Ensign, my smile - preconceived with excitement for a fresh look - turned upside down the moment I saw it. I am no vexillographer, but I wanted to understand the reason behind my frown, and I was lost on the internet, trying to understand what makes a flag "good". After almost 30 minutes of utilising my total cerebral capacity, I decided to design my own version of the ensign, hopefully, be more appealing. Before I reveal my armature masterpiece, I would like to point out the 5 basic principles and the flaws...
