The worlds fastest camera (can record path of light)

*The World's Fastest Camera Can 'Freeze Time',* When you push the button on a laser pointer, its entire beam seems to appear instantaneously. In reality, though, the photons shoot out like water from a hose, just at a speed too fast to see. Too fast for the human eye to see, anyways. Researchers at Caltech and the University of Quebec have invented what is now the world's fastest camera, and it takes a mind-boggling 10 trillion shots per second β€”enough to record footage of a pulse of light as it travels through space. CUP can lock down an impressive 100 billion frames per second, but by simultaneously recording a static image and performing some tricky math, the researchers were able to reconstruct 10 trillion frames. They call the new technique T-CUP, and while they don't say what the "T" stands for, our money is on "trillion."  *Ludicrous Speed* The camera more than doubles the speed record set in 2015 by a camera that took 4.4 tri...

The INDIAN JAMES BOND

*Why is Modi always accompanied by Ajit Doval?* After Godhra riots Modi has learnt to keep himself away from the individuals or organizations that are bound to create controversies. He has always cited for a team that involves people like Ajit Doval  with right combination of simplicity, honesty and dynamism. ​ Ajit Doval who is the current NSA, shares common views with that of Narendra Modi, specially about certain foreign policies that help India maintain better foreign relationships. Ajit Doval, who's renowned as James Bond(under cover agent) of India has zero tolerance when it comes to the security of the nation. His statement "You(Pakistan) do one Mumbai, you may lose Baluchistan" says it all. When more than 500 Indians(most of them were nurses) were stuck in Yemen, during crisis, Ajit Doval led the team, coordinated with the neighbouring countrys' government and rescued them all. Believe me, this is just one of his hundreds of successful operations. These...

Hurricane-salty rain??πŸ™„πŸ™„

*When a hurricane picks up water from the ocean and drops it on land, is the rain salty?*  It is not salty; rainwater is always salt-free. Hurricanes derive their energy primarily from the heat of ocean water (at a temperature generally at or above 80 degrees). That is why hurricanes weaken when they move inland: they are deprived of their main source of energy. In addition, hurricanes derive their moisture from evaporated ocean water. But when water evaporates and becomes vapor, only pure water evaporates β€” anything else that is dissolved in the water is left behind and remains in the ocean. Upon condensation, the water that appears is fresh. However, it’s true that wind-whipped ocean spray is salty because the spray is actually composed of tiny droplets of ocean water.

The longest flight in the world 😲 Mind blowing 😲😲

The longest flight in the world right now is from Perth, Australia to London, clocking in at roughly 17.5 hours. But that’s all going to change this week when Singapore Airlines starts flying from Singapore to Newark, New Jersey. Total flight time? Just under 19 hours.

Voyager 1 and Voyager 2 mind blowing story

Six years after Voyager 1 officially left the Solar System, it looks like its companion probe, Voyager 2, is getting close to the interstellar boundary as well. According to NASA, the spacecraft has started to detect the same increase in cosmic radiation that hit Voyager 1 just before it finally entered interstellar space. Although Voyager 2 was launched two weeks before Voyager 1 all the way back in 1977, the latter probe was on a shorter trajectory, and therefore reached Jupiter and Saturn first. In addition, while Voyager 2 received a gravity assist from Jupiter, Saturn, and Uranus, its Neptune flyby slowed it down, so it lagged behind even farther. As both probes continued their epic journey, on 25 August 2012 Voyager 1 officially crossed the border between our Solar System and the space beyond, becoming the first human-made object to head out into interstellar space. Now Voyager 2, true to its name, is poised to finally become the second. The pressure in space is extraor...
