Yes, really. A cool thing called total internal reflection is applied when pointing a laser beam through a container of water. When light travels through water, it’s slowed by the heavier particles in water,as described here. Thus, the laser beam effectively gets “trapped” in the water.

A Laser Can Get Trapped In Water

About 96 percent of the universe is made up of dark matter and dark energy, which are undetectable to humans. Scientists believe this is because the particles that make up these substances don’t interact with regular matter or light. Even though scientific discoveries are constantly being made about the stars, planets, and other galaxies we can see, it’s impossible to make conclusions about things that are invisible to our eyes.

We have no idea what most of the universe looks like

In just one teaspoon of soil, there are more microorganisms than people on the planet, said the U.S. Department of Agriculture. “Millions of species and billions of organisms—bacteria, algae, microscopic insects, earthworms, beetles, ants, mites, fungi and more—represent the greatest concentration of biomass anywhere on the planet.”

Soil is alive and well

For one of our strangest science facts, bananas contain potassium, and since potassium decays, that makes them slightly radioactive. But this is one of those fun science facts you don’t need to worry about. You’d need to eat 10,000,000 bananas at once to die of radiation poisoning, Forbes reports.

Bananas Are Radioactive

The genes responsible for the most common type of colourblindness are found on the X chromosome, the National Eye Institute explains. Even if women have the genes on one of their two X chromosomes, a properly functioning gene on the other one makes up for that loss. If men inherit the gene on their only X chromosome, they’ll become colourblind.

Men are more likely to be colourblind than women

On the rare occasion that you swallow a razor blade, don’t fret. The human body is more capable than you think. Acids are ranked on a scale from 0 to 14—the lower the pH level, the stronger the acid. Human stomach acid is typically 1.0 to 2.0, meaning that it has an impeccably strong pH. In a study, scientists found that the “thickened back of a single-edged blade” dissolved after two hours of immersion in stomach acid.

The human stomach can dissolve razor blades

The letters J and Q don’t appear anywhere on the periodic table. Go ahead and double check. We’ll wait.

Only Two Letters Don't Appear In The Periodic Table

If you spin a ball when you drop it, it will fly through the air as it falls. This is called the Magnus effect, and it makes playing tennis and soccer a whole lot easier.

You Can Make Balls Fly

Your childhood dreams of floating on a weightless cloud may get rained on with this fact: the average cumulus cloud can weigh up to a million pounds. A million pounds! That’s about as heavy as the world’s largest passenger jet.

A cloud can weigh over a million pounds

This fact seems counterintuitive, but it’s called the Mpemba effect, after a Tanzanian student named Erasto Mpemba who told his teacher than a hot mixture of ice cream froze faster than a cold one. Scientists now believe this is because the velocities of water particles have a specific disposition while they’re hot that allows them to freeze more readily. If proven correct, this finding could also have implications in daily life, like cooling down electronic devices.

Hot Water Freezes Faster Than Cold Water

Australia is the only continent without an active volcano. There are two active volcanoes off the continent of Australia but still within Australian territory. They are located on Heard Island and the McDonald Islands. Australia does not have any active volcanoes because it does not have plate boundaries. There is evidence of historical volcanic activity throughout Australia, with much of the activity has taken place along the east coast of the continent.

Australia And Volcanoes 🌋 

The volcanic activity is thought to have happened sometime in the past 60 million years. In general, volcanoes are said to be extinct once they have been inactive for at least 10,000 years.

From 21st of March a 100 days rally has been held by Sadhguru. He is riding 3000 km from London to Cauvarey basin where he is spreading the message through posters, banners, paintings, colors, speeches. But you do not have to ride 24 countries, you just have to share, just share #SaveSoil. Make it trend. The word leaders should know what we want.  Twitter, Insta, FB, YouTube, everywhere. And if you are humble enough then you can make a stash about save soil right here in Deepstash. Because together we can make a difference.

Soil is ploughed or paved to 9 or 12 inches of depth below and left open to dry (die). Land needs to be covered under tree shade so that it doesn't become dry. It needs to have those dead yellow leaves on top of it to cover it in the sunlight, not to be swept off in the gardens you play around. Land needs to be below grasses, trees, herbs, bushes to have the organic content which keeps it alive.

Save Soil

You can spread the awareness. You can make others conscious. Like I did to you. It is you who has to spread the message. On social media, casual talks, school lunchtime, work lunchtime, it is YOU who has to make them aware. So that they demand the soil we all need. You ask, how will spreading help?Well, in democracies the only currency that runs is numbers. When the governments will see millions of people demanding the same thing, they will address it in their manifestos so that the win the elections. They will bring us policies to revitalize soil and that is exactly what we need.

What can you do?

Have you seen the movie 'Interstellar'? Cool movie, right. How would you like to be in that movie forever but just on that earth where nothing grows but only corns?This will be our exact situation after 50 to 55 years if we keep on doing what we are doing and you know what I'm talking about.Industrialization, desertification, soil erosion, fertilizers, pesticides, chemicals...We are destroying the very thing that keeps us alive in innumerable ways. We are killing our future generations. The very kids you love will starve to death and you won't be able to stop it.

A handful of soil contains 8 to 10 billion micro-organisms. Human has come from humus. We are living soil. In the previous 25-30 years, 80% of insect biomass has become lost. Disappeared. There will be 30% less food in the next 20 years. And when this happens, people with the greatest hunger and the biggest guns will kill the healthy ones to live. The poor will kill the rich for food and the rich will die. Soil needs to have at least 3% organic content to be agriculturable. But In India, for example, 62% of the soil has less than 0.5% organic content in it.

Conscious Planet is a Global Movement to initiate a conscious approach to soil and planet. The movement seeks to show governments of all nations that their citizens want a policy to revitalize soil and ecology. To activate and demonstrate the support of over 3 billion citizens, Sadhguru will be riding a motorcycle alone, 30,000 kilometers across 26 nations. The rally will start in London and end in southern India, where the Cauvery Calling project, initiated by Sadhguru, has enabled 125,000 farmers to plant 62 million trees to revive soil and river Cauvery. Activating citizen participation will ensure that ecological issues become election issues, so that governments create policies and set budgets for ecological solutions, leading to sustained implementation.

Save Soil: Our Very Body | Conscious Planet

To find it, share each player’s strategy with every other player. If the players do not change their strategies, you have found the Nash equilibrium.For eg, in the battle of the sexes scenario, draw a table with two rows and two columns. The vertical axis represents the woman’s options: ballet/prizefight and horizontal axis represents the man’s choices: also ballet /prizefight. In the top left quadrant, they both choose ballet (Nash Equilibrium). In the bottom right quadrant, they both choose prizefight (Nash Equilibrium). This table illustrates there are two possible Nash equilibria.

How to Find Nash Equilibrium

It is a concept in game theory in which every participant in a noncooperative game can optimize their outcome based on the other players’ decisions.Nash equilibrium is achieved in a game when no player has any incentive for deviating from their own strategy, even if they know the other players’ strategies.In economic theory, it is used to illustrate that decision-making is a system of strategic interactions based on the actions of other players. It can be used to model economic behavior to predict the best response to any given situation.

What is Nash Equilibrium?

A man and a woman are hoping to attend an event together, but they must choose between a prizefight or a ballet.They cannot communicate where they will go beforehand, and the man in this story would prefer to go to the prizefight while the woman in this scenario would like to go to the ballet.This game has two unique Nash equilibrium strategies: one in which they both go to the prizefight and one in which they both go to the ballet.
