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...

15,000 nuclear warheads detonated at once?

By Swapnil Patel
What would possibly happen if we detonated every single nuclear warhead on earth at the same time, at one place? There are more than 15,000 nuclear weapons currently on Earth. It is believed that the US and Russian arsenals are individually capable to a complete wipe-out of life from Earth. While the United States of America has about 6,900 nukes, Russia has above 7,000. The average yield of the Russian nukes is about 700-800 kiloton TNT equivalent, each. The question here is, what "can" happen if every single warhead on earth is stockpiled at one place and and detonated at the exact same time?

Switching to Linux : Shortcomings of Windows OS

By Swapnil Patel
Hello there! Many of us have been using the Windows OS (considering it's many versions), for a very long time. For some regions on the planet (especially where this post was written), Windows is the stereotypical OS for a computer. However, today we're going to see something which has been known to be the OS of servers and supercomputers, and can also be used in a PC like yours, Linux! To be honest, I've been using windows for a very long time myself, and it is no doubt, a great OS. But there are many places where Windows sucks (bad)! On this post, I shall describe why I chose Linux over Windows, and how you, a Windows user, can move to Linux easily! First, let's discuss the 7 reasons why I gave up Windows:- 1. Paying for almost everything... Even the office suite! Windows is a proprietary software and is not freely available. You must have a product key (purchased) to run windows on any computer. Linux distros, on the other hand, are free to downlo...
