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?

Recently, a report from the University of Colorado Boulder has come out, in which it has been said, how farms are rapidly being depleted around the world. Perhaps this is the reason why scientists from some of the world's major countries are turning to farming in space. There is a huge difference between the atmosphere of space and the atmosphere of Earth, but still there is cultivation. In fact, seeds sent into space remain in microgravity and are exposed to large amounts of cosmic rays, a process that greatly accelerates plant growth and transformation. This process is called space mutagenesis. Due to which the plant is ready to face any kind of situation. China is growing many crops China is growing a variety of crops in space.

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.

Like Telegram, Instagram also added a broadcast channel

Image
If you've been active on Instagram for a long time and follow a lot of people, you'll have experienced that a lot of content posted by those people is out of your sight - even if you want to see it. Like Facebook, what we see on Instagram is largely determined by algorithms. Those social sites themselves decide what we like to see. As a result, what we really want to see remains out of our sight. On the other hand, no algorithm works in services like WhatsApp or Telegram. For example, if we join a group in WhatsApp, whatever is posted in it will reach us. Telegram has channel facility. In that too whatever the creator of that channel posts will reach us. It's a different matter that we ourselves don't see everything posted in a WhatsApp group or a particular Telegram channel, but it does reach us. It often happens in Facebook and Instagram that not all the things we are interested in seeing reach us. This is just as bad for us as it is for content creators. Even if th...

Scientists have recently warned that such a terrible storm will come in the future. This can have a profound effect on the Internet. This means that the entire world's Internet may be shut down or blocked for several days. The study was conducted on the Internet by Sangeeta Abdu Jyoti, a researcher at the University of California. He presented his study to scientists at the Sigcom 2021 Data Communication Congress last week. According to the study of music, there will be less impact on the internet system at the local level.
