  • How heavy is water molecule?

    Saturday, February 19, 2011 at 4:30 am UTC + 05:30 Just a simple calculation, I did, says; the heaviest meson we know, is 35% lighter, than the water molecule, and about 22000 times heavier than electron. I am thinking along side the PDG list of particles; all atoms and molecules can have their properties mentioned ……

  • Whats the population; if male and female literacy is given as percentage.

    May I add one more small note, see how easy it becomes to understand an “order of estimate”; A good student, that is one with a good maths background, should immediately pick up, population ~ 1.19 million. 61.26 % male. 58.04 % female. (Not only literate but total male and female). Then even, one question…

  • Whats Light. A small primer.

    A small primer on optical attributes of Light. Manmohan Dash, ( — largely edited, 18-19 January 2014, originally from; Wednesday, March 27, 2013 at 3:58 pm UTC + 05:30 ) Updated Discourse. If you ever seem, to be caught up between: they say light always moves at the same speed-c, they keep on harping, why…

  • An important lesson of Relativity.

    An insight of why time and space are equivalents or unified in Relativity. Because its time which makes it possible for someone to crawl from x point to a y point, you can’t simultaneously move bifurcated, into two orthogonal axes. Time mediates, hence its the time axis that mixes with all of the space axis,…

  • Why human eyes are sensitive to only visible light?

    “Why Human Eyes Are Sensitive To Only Visible Light”. These processes are arbitrary, which is somewhat more technically referred as “contingency”. Its not just for the case of vision that this arbitrariness is present, but all forms of biological properties. eg A conch shell is spiral in a certain way and this is only specific…
