Your Body is an Empty Space

-


Some days, you might feel like a pretty substantial person. Maybe you have a lot of friends, or an important job, or a really big car.
But it might humble you to know that all of those things – your friends, your office, your really big car, you yourself, and even everything in this incredible, vast Universe – are almost entirely, 99.9999999 percent empty space.
If the nucleus were the size of a peanut, the atom would be about the size of a baseball stadium. If we lost all the dead space inside our atoms, we would each be able to fit into a particle of dust, and the entire human species would fit into the volume of a sugar cube.


کچھ دن ، آپ کو ایک خوبصورت کافی شخص کی طرح محسوس ہوسکتا ہے۔  ہوسکتا ہے کہ آپ کے بہت سارے دوست ، یا ایک اہم نوکری ، یا واقعی بڑی کار ہو۔
 لیکن یہ جان کر آپ کو عاجز ہوسکتا ہے کہ ان سب چیزوں یعنی آپ کے دوست ، آپ کا دفتر ، آپ کی واقعی بڑی کار ، آپ خود اور یہاں تک کہ اس حیرت انگیز ، وسیع کائنات کی ہر چیز - تقریبا پوری طرح سے ، 99.9999999 فیصد خالی جگہ ہے۔
 اگر نیوکلئس مونگ پھلی کا حجم ہوتا تو ، ایٹم بیس بال اسٹیڈیم کے سائز کا ہوتا۔  اگر ہم اپنے ایٹموں کے اندر تمام مردہ جگہ کو کھو دیتے ہیں ، تو ہم ہر ایک خاک کے ذرات میں فٹ ہوجائیں گے ، اور پوری انسان کی نسلیں شوگر کیوب کے حجم میں فٹ ہوجائیں گی۔

Benefits of Exercise. . .ورزش کے فوائد

New research published in the journal Cancer, Epidemiology, Biomarkers & Prevention shows that exercise like walking may reduce a person's risk for cancer. The researchers found that postmenopausal women who were very active or walked for at least seven hours a week had a reduced risk for breast cancer. The researchers looked at a cohort of 73,615 postmenopausal women who reported their physical activity and found that women who participated in vigorous physical activity every day had a 25% lower risk for breast cancer, and women who walked for at least seven hours a week had a 14% lower risk for breast cancer. Given that 60% of women report some type of daily walking, the researchers say promoting walking as a leisure time activity can have protective benefits for women. Even without any other forms of exercise, women who walk had higher chances of keeping breast cancer at bay. Walking could be as beneficial to the body than say running and swimming. Research loo...

The Hagia Sophia.....

The Hagia Sophia , whose name means “holy wisdom,” is a domed monument originally built as a cathedral in Constantinople (now Istanbul, Turkey ) in the sixth century A.D. It contains two floors centered on a giant nave that has a great dome ceiling, along with smaller domes, towering above. “Hagia Sophia’s dimensions are formidable for any structure not built of steel,” writes Helen Gardner and Fred Kleiner in their book "Gardner’s Art Through the Ages: A Global History." “In plan it is about 270 feet [82 meters] long and 240 feet [73 meters] wide. The dome is 108 feet [33 meters] in diameter and its crown rises some 180 feet [55 meters] above the pavement.” In its 1,400 year life-span it has served as a cathedral, mosque and now a museum. When it was first constructed, Constantinople was the capital of the Byzantine Empire. This state, officially Christian, originally formed the eastern half of the Roman Empire and carried on after the fall of Rome. F...

Eyes Blinking

Scientists have shown that the average person blinks 15-20 times per minute. That's up to 1,200 times per hour and a whopping 28,800 times in a day—much more often than we need to keep our eyeballs lubricated. In fact, we spend about 10 percent of our waking hours with our eyes closed. So why do we blink so much? New research from Japan's Osaka University found that blinking may serve as a form of momentary rest for the brain, giving the mind a chance to wander and "go offline." These brief breaks may last just a split second, or even a few seconds. When our brains aren't concentrated on a task, brain regions known as the "default mode network" come alive, allowing our mind to switch into an idle mode—a phenomenon researchers discovered decades ago. But how does blinking affect this idle state? According to the new research, blinking and the brain at rest go hand in hand. In order to understand this phenomenon, scientists monitored the brain activity of ...
