A weird thought

People used to stop their thoughts if it is weird. And very less continue to further think about it. Consider this one
Volume of ice is greater than the same amount of water.This makes liquid water more denser than ice and ultimately ice floats.This is an unique property of ice that many know.
Now, what if the ice behaves normally like any other solid.i.e it has higher density than water. Then ice will no longer float but sink.The consequences are
  • Icebergs sinks and reach the ocean floor.The already cool water at the bottom gets more cold and the ice gets insulted from the top warm water.When this continues the bottom layer will be getting filled by ice and the bottom dwellers and life supporting systems at the ocean floor will no longer prevail.
  • In the arctic regions where more water freezes during winter, the ice formed will sink and may drown the life existing there.
  • If all those land regions which are having their base as floating ice, sinks and adds more ice ice into the water, the volume of water will increase, since volume of ice is 1/9 times greater than the water.
  • The current amount of water in earth's surface in earth is approximately 70%. If water level increases by 1/9 times, resulting in water covered surface of earth to be 78%.Which means only 22% of surface will only be land, from the original 30%.
  • Which means 8% of 30%...i.e almost 1/4th of total land will be submerged into water, probably ice then.
Oops...If ice loses its property,I'll die because i'm in a coastal city.Oh...just an weird thought about ice behaving normally like solids, killed me.That is why people don't proceed with their weird thoughts further.

Difficult Task

Almost everyone who reads this will try to lick their elbow.
Fine, now i say that understanding this , is not as easy as you lick your elbow.
If you interpret the above statement correct, you are normal. Else you are not outstanding, rather abnormal.

Interesting Facts

I just came through this collection of facts...like
  1. 1,525,000,000 miles of telephone wire a strung across the U.S.
  2. 101 Dalmatians and Peter Pan (Wendy) are the only two Disney cartoon features with both parents that are present and don't die throughout the movie.
  3. 111,111,111 x 111,111,111 = 12,345,678,987,654,321
  4. 12 newborns will be given to the wrong parents daily.
  5. 123,000,000 cars are being driven down the U.S's highways.
  6. 160 cars can drive side by side on the Monumental Axis in Brazil, the world's widest road.

A different way of telling "Time travel is not possible"

Einstein's theory on speed of light says that speed of light is never acheivable by anything else.And if something travels faster than light, then it is said to have done "Time travel".The speed of light was broken by two physicists, Gunter Nimtz and Alfons Stahlhofen, in Germany from the University of Koblenz. This seriously questions Einstein's theory that no object or information can move faster than the speed of light in a vacuum. An example of what could happen with this is time travel, but not like you imagine: If you went for a car trip faster than the speed of light, you'd arrive at your destination before you'd even leave, theoretically, of course. As Dr Guenter Nimtz said: "The effect cannot be used to go back in time, only to reduce the time between cause and effect a little bit.
Now...its my way of stating the same point...but in a different way
"Its impossible to fill an already full jar.
Its impossible to finish something before it is started.
Hence time travel is not possible" ;)

Evil and God

We know that darkness is nothing but a absence of light. You can measure intensity of the light to infinity but can you do the same for darkness? Cold is nothing but absence of heat. Heat can be measured to infinity but cold maintains a steady value at a certain degree. Absolute zero (-460 F) is the total absence of heat; and all matter becomes inert and incapable of reaction at that temperature. It was proclaimed that Albert Einstein said: "Evil does not exist, or at least it does not exist unto itself. Evil is simply the absence of God. It is just like darkness and cold, a word that man has created to describe the absence of God. God did not create evil. Evil is the result of what happens when man does not have God's love present in his heart. It's like the cold that comes when there is no heat, or the darkness that comes when there is no light." There is no proof that Einstein said this and there is no proof that he didn't. However, based on constructive thinking there is no reason to suppose that Einstein was part of this "fictive" story.
