Interesting planetary facts !
Mars winter and summer would have a wider variation due to Sun’s relative distance being a 17%; variation in radiation is 34% (2 x 17%) For earth since distance of earth and sun varies from maximum to minimum within 3.4% the variation in sun’s radiation energy is 2×3.4 = 6.8% Also Venus is far more…

A new optimization parameter in a statistical sample !
It reflects the quality scope of the citations. Its the total percentage of a citation that goes into defining a particular citation index. Let me call it q-index therefore (q for quality) See this example. My h-ind is 60. So total (minimum) citation it accounts for is 60*60 = 3600. My total citation is 12215.…

Why Bose is not the scientist after whom Higgs is named.
A very few particles (out of 1000s) are named after scientists, eg the so called mu meson was called a Yukawa Meson, although it turned out to be a misnomer. Mu-meson was found to be a lepton, rather than a meson, as was thought by Yukawa and others. Now called Muon it belongs in the…

Ideas that changed our notion about the Universe.
1. Aristotle Fallacy; A notion that objects need force for their movement. It contradicts the idea of inertia. Newton corrected this by introducing the first law, things continue in their state of motion, a quality called as inertia, without requiring force and the motion changes due to application of force. 2. Earth is flat; that…

Nature of photons.
Also (without any direct theoretical connection, but correlation through reality of nature) 3. Photons are classical only in the sense that we perceive light only when photons are produced in large numbers. So large that the laws of the small do not incur large errors because they are in large numbers. Statistically the errors are…
