Albert Einstein

                                       Albert Einstein


Albert Einstein was a German-born theoretical physicist who developed the theory of relativity, one of the two pillars of modern physics. His work is also known for its influence on the philosophy of science. He is also known for his discovery of the photoelectric effect, for which he won the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1921. Einstein developed a theory of special and general relativity, which helped to complicate and expand upon theories that had been put forth by Isaac Newton over 200 years prior. The maximum IQ score assigned by the WAIS-IV, a commonly-used test today, is 160. A score of 135 or above puts a person in the 99th percentile of the population. News articles often put Einstein's IQ at 160, though it's unclear what that estimate is based upon. Einstein's Big Idea homepage. E = mc2. It's the world's most famous equation, but what does it really mean? "Energy equals mass times the speed of light squared." On the most basic level, the equation says that energy and mass (matter) are interchangeable; they are different forms of the same thing. At the suggestion of Carl Wilhelm Oseen, Einstein would receive the deferred 1921 prize, but not for relativity. He would be given it for his explanation of the photoelectric effect, a phenomenon in which electrons are emitted from a metal sheet only under certain illuminations.

By Albert Einstein - "Imagination is more important than knowledge."

                                    "Life is like riding a bicycle. To keep your balance you must keep moving."

                                    "Imagination is everything. It is the preview of life's coming attractions."

Apple silicon chips | The M family.

Computers are made just like the human body. In the human body, the brain controls everything, handles every type of pressure occurring, and process the inputs and output it. Exactly like that the processor in computer plays or played a huge roll from the beginning of computers. Without a processor, the computer is like a human without a brain.  Nowadays there are various types of processors, as well as various large scale companies manufacture those. Simply the process of the processor is to handle the input - process them - Output it. So some examples for such companies are Intel, Nvidia, Apple and AMD.  When we take the most popular chip set Intel, For instance Intel has been founded in 1968 and been serving Windows and Apple devices since. Intel has 3 technologies named Intel single core, duo core and Quad-core.  But today's topic is not Intel, it is Apple M chips.  So when we take the history of Apple, from the beginning they manufactured Laptops and Computers n...

Auxins | The first major plant hormone.

  Basically auxin is a growth promoting hormone present in plants which produce in the tops of the shoots and roots. Auxins stimulate cell elongation in stem and root. Due to this, the stem apex of plants turn towards light due to dissimilar cell elongation of stem.  -Thats why plants always bend and grow towards light.                Caption- A plant growing towards light.  Question - what is the relationship between plant growth and Auxin hormone? Auxins produced in the apex diffuse downwards. Therefore it speed up the growth of new cells and the shoot of the plant grow upwards.  Question - What are the other functions rather than growth and stem  elongation? Promotes formation of lateral and adeventitious roots.  Regulates development of fruit. Enhances apical dominance. Note- Auxins concentrate in the parts of the plant where the light intensity is low. This is due to the the process of diffusion. Auxins move to ...

Abraham Lincoln

                                                  Abraham Lincoln Abraham Lincoln was an American statesman and lawyer who was the 16th president of the United States from 1861 until his assassination in 1865. Lincoln led the nation through the American Civil War, the country's greatest moral, constitutional, and political crisis. Mr. Lincoln was born in 1809, Kentucky, USA.    Abraham Lincoln  is  famous for  the Gettysburg Address, abolishing slavery and being one of the four presidents who have been assassinated.  Abraham's  father remarried and, as the frontier expanded and became more populated, so the quality of life increased.  Lincoln  always defined the Civil War as a struggle to save the Union, but in January 1863 he nonetheless issued the Emancipation Proclamation, which freed all slaves in areas still under...
