Three catastrophic meteorites approaching Earth from space, threatening to destroy half the world

New delhi date. 24 July 2020, Friday

About 60 million years ago today, a catastrophe struck the earth, destroying about 80 percent of the world's life, including dinosaurs. A giant meteorite extending about 12 kilometers collided with the earth. This caused a pit about 100 kilometers wide and 30 kilometers deep on the ground. Thus not one but three catastrophes are once again approaching the earth. Scientists around the world, including NASA, are watching. These meteorites can cause great damage if they collide with the earth. One of these meteorites will pass close to the earth on July 24, i.e. today. Scientists have named it 'Asteroid 2020 ND'.

According to scientists, 'Asteroid 2020 ND' is 170 meters long and has a speed of 13.5 kilometers per second i.e. 48,000 kilometers per hour. This will cover a distance of about 50.86 lakh kilometers from the earth. Normally the distance in space is not as large as the speed of a meteorite, but scientists say it will not cause any damage to the Earth.

However it is being speculated that this could destroy half the world if the ‘Asteroid 2020 ND’ meteorite collided with Earth. In astronomy, this type of meteorite is called 'potentially hazardous', meaning a potentially dangerous asteroid.

Scientists have named the second meteorite approaching the Earth 2016 DY 30. It will pass about 34 lakh kilometers from the earth. This is the closest meteorite to Earth. About 15 feet wide, the meteorite has a speed of 54 thousand kilometers per hour. It is also unlikely to collide with the Earth, but if it does, it could wreak havoc on Earth.

The third meteorite to pass close to Earth is known as 2020 ME3. It will pass through a distance of about 56 lakh kilometers from the earth. Its speed is 16 thousand kilometers per hour. It is also less likely to collide with the Earth, but it is also a catastrophic meteorite.

Thus, a large number of meteorites are found in the orbits of Mars and Jupiter, but very few of them pass close to Earth. Its speed may be disastrous for the earth, but its distance is too great. That is why it is less likely to collide with the earth.

GMT : A wonderful invention to remove the confusion of railways, a village with the time of which the world sets its clock!

Image
History of Time Zone: The clock and our lives are completely intertwined. Ever wondered what would happen if all clocks in the world were set to the same time? So there will be a big mess right? Because the earth is so big that if there is morning in our country, then there will be night, somewhere evening, somewhere afternoon and somewhere different time on this earth. A single place was fixed for each day from which the whole world could set its clock time. Also know why the whole world time is set with GMT? What does GMT stand for Greenwich Mean Time? How was this time zone determined and how did the world determine its day before that? When did the clock start? Clocks were invented as early as the 16th century, and until the 18th century, time around the world was observed and measured based on the sun. But the world got time zones after the Industrial Revolution in Europe in the 18th century. In the early 19th century, local time in cities was determined by the sun. So, differ...

There are still questions about the veracity of this claim by the American NASA , but the fact that humans have made tremendous progress in space in the last five decades cannot be denied in any way. Sometimes you also look at the moon from the earth and think that what is really on the earth of the moon ?! Almost everyone has the curiosity to peer into the vast universe spread around us. The problem is that if we live in a city and look at the sky from Agashi, we will see nothing but a very bright star.

One year into the ONDC system: How far has the e-Cormus initiative come?

Image
The Open Network Core Digital Commerce (ONDC) project was launched in India in April last year. Amazon and Flipkart currently have a duopoly in the e-commerce sector in India and both of these companies are foreign-owned. The ONDC project has been implemented by the Government of India so that various companies and small and large businesses in India can take full advantage of e-commerce and instead of the entire system being in the hands of just one or two companies, it also gets democracy. The way Unified Payment Interface (UPI) has revolutionized online transactions in India. Something similar is likely to happen in the e-commerce sector due to ONDC. After its launch in April last year, the network was seeing 30-40 transactions per day in the month of September , which has now reached 600 transactions per day. Given the prevalence of online commerce in India, this number is still very low. However, the number of merchants connected to the network has increased significantly. Af...

These roads will pull themselves before the lightning strikes, Brazil tested new technology

Image
Image Envato Dt. 29 March 2023, Wednesday Rods are installed on roofs to protect buildings and people from lightning strikes from the sky. These rods send lightning underground. Brazilian scientists have invented a technology to send lightning underground before it strikes. These rods throw electric discharges into the sky before lightning strikes. This discharge attracts electricity towards itself. Lightning strikes these rods and goes into the ground. Scientists installed slow motion cameras for testing Brazilian scientists installed rods on buildings located in the northeast of the city of Sao Paulo. This type of event happens in less than a millisecond. It is very difficult to take photos or videos of this incident. In this situation, the scientists installed a high speed video camera 450 feet away. So that photos of electric discharges and lightning strikes can be taken in the sky by the road. This camera took 40 thousand photos every second. These roads are an excellent way...

In this regard , according to a new study published in the European Heart Journal, if the total time spent talking on the phone exceeds 30 minutes per week, it greatly increases the likelihood of high blood pressure.

Time for interesting integrations!

- Time for interesting integrations! - Due to various initiatives, we are now getting the convenience of saving and retrieving our documents in various ways The best known example of the Public-Private Partnership (PPP) model is road development. If the government itself does not meet the cost of road development, the work should be handed over to a private company in such a way that the company recovers the cost incurred by collecting toll tax. As a user, we may face toll tax , but we also get good roads. This is the same way of garden development in cities , we will not spend any money on it! This model of PPP is now expanding continuously in the field of technology , fortunately there is no direct cost to us - yet - we don't know if there are any indirect costs ! For example , when the UPI system came in, even companies that had nothing to do with banking were associated as partners. Perhaps this issue has played a major role in popularizing UPI. Such partnership...

Paris, France's Nobel Prize-winning scientist Luc Montagner believes that the coronary virus has become human in the lab, and that the Covid-19 pandemic is human-caused. This failure to try to make the AIDS HIV virus vaccine has led to the outbreak of a contagious virus. According to Lou Mategner, co-researcher for HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus) in an interview to France's CNews Channel, the genome of the novel Corona virus is suspected to contain HIV, as well as some malaria. According to a report published in the Asia Times, the Chinese city of Wuhan's lab has been involved in corona virus research since 2000.
