WHY READ?

Why should one read?

Many people on the internet or otherwise say that we should read books also we have heard the stories that most successful people read lots of books. It's claimed that Bill Gates reads about 50 books in a year and there are many other similar stories.

In this video, I want to give my perspective on reading I am not an avid reader but I call it my habit, I have read close to around 8 to 10 books till this point, and one thing I can say for sure is that every book has changed or given me a new perspective to look at the world.

For example, My Experiment With Truth-autobiography of Mahatma Gandhi was one of my earliest books, seeing the life of Mahatma through his eyes is very different. There are many behaviors, cultural practices, and attitudes I relate to and also many that I cannot relate to like he got married at the age of 13 that book was an inspiration for me. The recent book I read was 'Sapiens- a brief history of Humankind' this is my favorite book till now going through 'How Sapiens evolved', 'How evolution supports numbers over the quality of life of individual',' How humans can corporate at such a large scale, 'How stories are very important part of Sapiens', answering such amazing questions and also talking about religion, money, power, etc this book is a review on humans from a very scientific and fascinating perspective.

For me, books provide different perspectives to look at the world though every perspective is not completely wholesome but having as many as we can help us in different situations in life. Whether you gain this perspective from books, movies, stories, or whatever source does not matter. For some, books are that source for some it's movies for some it's both. In the end, having an immense number of perspectives and knowing that there are many different possibilities, and life stories way beyond our confined thoughts is important.

Will Fine Tuned Universe prove the existence of supreme entity?

 Fine-tuned universe - This idea presents that the universe is kind of designed or finely tuned in its physical laws, physical constants, and other parameters in order to allow the existence of life. Does this mean that the universe is made for us? Does this mean that some entity would have designed it, like God? This is a very interesting hypothesis in physics. So let's unpack this hypothesis in this blog. Let's start exploring this Fine tuned Universe hypothesis by understanding what fundamental constants of physics are Fundamental constants are fixed numerical values that are fundamental to the universe and are statistically improbable (unlikely) or have no theoretical basis, they are known necessarily by measurements and experiments. Examples of these Fundamental constants are the universal gravitational constant G = 6.67 * 10 to the power of -11 Newton meter square/kg square Or the plank's constant h = 6.626  * 10 to the power of -34 joules/second Or even the speed of...

Gyroplane, A fascinating plane that can become your Taxi.

The aviation industry is full of fascinating and interesting machines with unique designs, capabilities, and mechanisms. Among these Gyroplane or Autogyro holds a unique place as it bothers some features of fixed-wing planes and some features of helicopters and becomes a perfect blend for a low-speed aircraft with high fuel efficiency and better stability and control. using very interesting phenomena like auto rotation to spin its top rotor and produce lift. So in this blog, we will be discussing what is autogyro? how does an autogyro work? and the future of autogyro. What is AutoGyro or Gyroplane? A gyroplane or autogyro (from the Greek word meaning ('self turning'), is a heavier-than-air aircraft that uses a rotor usually to the rare of the fuselage called pusher configuration to produce thrust. Autogyro uses an engine to power its rare rotor, which creates the forward motion of the airplane by pushing the air backward. To produce lift it uses another rotor, which, unlike a h...

Atom To Cell.

In this blog, we will discuss about the difference between the atom and the cell. Why atom is not the fundamental unit of life? and a journey of an atom to a cell. Firstly, what is the difference between an atom and a cell?  Atom is the fundamental unit of the entire matter, whereas cell is the fundamental unit of living matter. which means every cell is made up of atoms, whereas every atom is not a cell. Size of atom vs the size of cell The size of the atom ranges between 10 to the power minus 14 meters i.e. picometer (pm) to 10 to the power of minus 10 meters i.e. Armstrong. To visualize it, magnify an apple to that of the size of Earth, And now the size of the original apple is probably the size of an atom of this giant apple (from the book: six easy pieces). Whereas the size of the cell ranges between 10 to the power of minus 6 meters i.e. micrometers to 10 to the power of minus 2 meters i.e. centimeters. The overall conclusion about the size of atoms and cells is that an atom ...
