Facts about Human body


1. The human eye is so sensitive that if the Earth were flat, you could spot a candle flickering at night from up to 30 miles away. 
2. Nerve impulses travel to and from the brain at speeds of up to 250 miles per hour, faster than a Formula 1 racecar. 
3. When you blush, the lining of your stomach blushes too. 
4. The human brain can read up to 1,000 words per minute. 
5. Inside your belly button are thousands of bacteria that form an ecosystem the size of an entire rainforest. 
6. When in love, the human brain releases the same cocktail of neurotransmitters and hormones that are released by amphetamines. This leads to increased heart rate, loss of appetite and sleep, and intense feelings of excitement. 
7. You can see ultraviolet light, the ability is just filtered out by the eye's lens. Some people have undergone surgery to remove the lense and can detect ultraviolet light. 
8. An adult is made up of 7,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 (7 octillion) atoms. For perspective, there's a 'measly' 300,000,000,000 (300 billion) stars in our galaxy. 
9. Our muscles are actually incredibly more powerful than they appear to be. Human strength is limited to protect our tendons and muscles from harming themselves. This limitation can be removed during an adrenaline rush, during which some people have lifted boulders or even cars off themselves. 
10. We humans are the best long-distance runners on the planet. Better than any four-legged animal. In fact, thousands of years ago we used to run after our prey until they died of exhaustion. 
11. A full head of human hair is strong enough to support 12 tonnes. 
12. In 30 minutes, the human body gives off enough heat to bring a gallon of water to the boil 
13. We have the same amount of hairs on our body as a chimpanzee. Most are useless and so fine that they are invisible. 
14. The atoms that make up your human body today are same atoms that formed during the Big Bang 13.7 billion years ago. 
15. Human bone is as strong as granite. A block of bone the size of a matchbox could support nine tonnes of weight.

17. The focusing muscles in your eyes move around 100,000 times a day. To give your leg muscles the same workout, you'd need to walk 50 miles. 
18. For every pound of fat or muscle gained, your body creates seven miles of new blood vessels 
19. Humans share 50% of their DNA with bananas. 
20. Loneliness is physically painful. Just as you have a drive to avoid physical pain, you have a similarly powerful drive to connect with others and seek companionship - in order to avoid the pain of loneliness.

29. You're a little richer than you might think. Inside all of us is around 0.2 milligrams of gold, most of which is in our blood Sadly, you'd need the blood of around 40,000 people to collect enough gold to make one 8g coin. 
30. The human brain uses 20% of the entire body's oxygen and calorie intake, despite only accounting for about 2% of an adult's body mass. 
31. If you stretched out the 300,000,000 capillaries in your lungs end to end, the line would extend from Seattle to San Diego, or about 1,300 miles. 
32. Some women see more colors than everyone else. Most people have three types of color receptors to see color vision, while some women have four or even five of these receptors and can see a wider range of colors. 
33. A condition called synesthesia can cause senses to overlap. In other words, some people can taste words or hear colors. 
34. The need to breathe so much is due to carbon dioxide buildup more than the need for oxygen. If there was a different way to get rid of carbon dioxide from the blood, we would only need to breathe at a rate of about once per minute. 
35. Crying alleviates stress and allows humans to decrease feelings of anger and sadness. It physically does help to let it out. 
36. The brain uses over a quarter of the oxygen used by the human body. More human brain facts. 
37. Your heart beats around 100000 times a day, 36500000 times a year and over a billion times if you live beyond 30. More human heart facts. 
38. Red blood cells carry oxygen around the body. They are created inside the bone marrow of your bones. More blood facts.

Physics Facts


1. Mass and inertia are the same thing. (Mass actually measures inertia - in kilogramsÂ… Much as monetary resources measures financial wealth - in dollars.) 
2. Weight (force of gravity) decreases as you move away from the earth by distance squared. (It decreases, but only approaches zero, never reaching it, even far beyond the solar system.) 
3. Weight (in newtons) is mass x acceleration (w = mg). Mass is not Weight! Mass is a scalar and measured in kilograms, weight is a force and a vector and measured in Newtons.
4. Velocity can only be constant when the net force (and acceleration) is zero. (The velocity can be zero and not constant - for example when a ball, thrown vertically, is at the top of its trajectory.) 
5. Velocity, displacement [s], momentum, force (weight), torque, and acceleration are vectors. 
6. Speed, distance [d], time, length, mass, temperature, charge, power and energy (joules) are scalar quantities. 
7. The slope of the distance-time graph is velocity. 
8. The slope of the velocity-time graph is acceleration. 
9. The area under a velocity-time graph is distance. 
10. Magnitude is a term used to state how large a vector quantity is. 
11. At zero (0) degrees two vectors have a resultant equal to their sum. At 180 degrees two vectors have a resultant equal to their difference. From the minimum value (at 180) to the maximum value (at zero) is the total range of all the possible resultants of any two vectors. 
12. An unbalanced force must produce an acceleration and the object cannot be in equilibrium. 
13. If an object is not accelerating, it is in equilibrium and no unbalanced forces are acting. 
14. The equilibrant force is equal in magnitude but opposite in direction to the resultant vector. 
15. Momentum is conserved in all collision systems. Energy is conserved (in the KE of the objects) only if a collision is perfectly elastic. 
16. Mechanical energy is the sum of the potential and kinetic energy. 
17. UNITS: a = [m/sec2]; F = [kg•m/sec2] = Newton; work = PE = KE = [kg•m2/sec2] = Joule; Power = [kg•m2/sec3] = [Joules/sec] = Watt 
18. 1ev is a very small energy unit equal to 1.6 x 10-19 joules - used for small objects such as electrons. This is on the Reference Chart. 
19. Gravitational potential energy increases as height increases. 
20. Kinetic energy changes only if mass or velocity changes. 
21. Mechanical energy (PE + KE) does not change for a free falling mass or a swinging pendulum. (when ignoring air friction) 
22. A coulomb is charge, an amp is current [coulomb/sec] and a volt is potential difference [joule/coulomb]. 
23. Short, fat, cold wires make the best conductors. 
24. Electrons and protons have equal amounts of charge (1.6 x 10-19 coulombs each - known as one elementary charge). This is on the Reference Chart. 
25. Adding a resistor in series increases the total resistance of a circuit. 
26. Adding a resistor in parallel decreases the total resistance of a circuit. 
27. All resistors in series have equal current (I). 
28. All resistors in parallel have equal voltage (V). 
29. If two similar charged spheres touch each other add the charges and divide by two to find the final charge on each sphere after they are separated. 
30. Insulators contain no electrons free to move. 
31. Ionized gases conduct electric current using positive ions, negative ions and electrons. 
32. Electric fields all point in the direction of the force on a positive test charge. 
33. Electric fields between two parallel plates are uniform in strength except at the edges. 
34. Millikan determined the charge on a single electron using his famous oil-drop experiment. 
35. All charge changes result from the movement of electrons not protons. (an object becomes positive by losing electrons) 
36. The direction of a magnetic field is defined by the direction a compass needle points. (The direction an isolated north pole would feel.) 
37. Magnetic fields point from the north to the south outside the magnet and south to north inside the magnet. 
38. Magnetic flux is measured in webers. 
39. Left hands are for negative charges and reverse answer for positive charges. 
40. The first hand rule deals with the B-field around a current bearing wire, the third hand rule looks at the force on charges moving in a B-field, and the second hand rule is redundant. 
41. Solenoids are stronger with more current or more wire turns or adding a soft iron core. 
42. Sound waves are longitudinal and mechanical. 
43. Light slows down, bends toward the normal and has a shorter wavelength when it enters a medium with a higher index of refraction (n). 
44. All angles in wave theory problems are measured to the normal. 
45. Blue light has more energy, a shorter wavelength and a higher frequency than red light (remember- ROYGBIV). 
46. The electromagnetic spectrum (radio, infrared, visible. Ultraviolet x-ray and gamma) are listed lowest energy to highest. They are all electromagnetic and travel at the speed of light (c = f ! l ). 
47. The speed (c) of all types of electromagnetic waves is 3.0 x 108 m/sec in a vacuum. 
48. As the frequency of an electromagnetic wave increases its energy increases (E = h ! f) and its wavelength decreases and its velocity remains constant as long as it doesn't enter a medium with a different refractive index (i.e. optical density). 
49. A prism produces a rainbow from white light by dispersion. (red bends the least because it slows the least). 
50. Transverse wave particles vibrate back and forth perpendicular to the direction of the wave's velocity. Longitudinal wave particles vibrate back and forth parallel to the direction of the wave's velocity. 
51. Light wave are transverse (they, and all (and only)transverse waves can be polarized).
52. The amplitude of a non-electromagnetic wave (i.e. water, string and sound waves) determines its energy. The frequency determines the pitch of a sound wave. Their wavelength is a function of its frequency and speed (v = f ! l ). Their speed depends on the medium they are traveling in. 
53. Constructive interference occurs when two waves are zero (0) degrees out of phase or a whole number of wavelengths (360 degrees.) out of phase. 
54. At the critical angle a wave will be refracted to 90 degrees. At angles larger than the critical angle, light is reflected not refracted. 
55. Doppler effect: when a wave source moves toward you, you will perceive waves with a shorter wavelength and higher frequency than the waves emitted by the source. When a wave source moves away from you, you will perceive waves with a longer wavelength and lower frequency. 
56. Double slit diffraction works because of diffraction and interference. 
57. Single slit diffraction produces a much wider central maximum than double slit. 
58. Diffuse reflection occurs from dull surfaces while regular (spectacular) reflection occurs from smooth (mirror-like) surfaces. 
59. Only waves show diffraction, interference and the polarization. 
60. The period of a wave is the inverse of its frequency (T = 1/f ). So waves with higher frequencies have shorter periods. 
61. Monochromatic light has one frequency. 
62. Coherent light waves are all in phase. 
63. In order to explain the photoelectric effect, Einstein proposed particle behavior for light (and all electromagnetic waves) with E = h f and KEmax = hf – Wo. 
64. A photon is a particle of light (wave packet). 
65. To preserve the symmetry of the universe, DeBroglie proposed wave behavior for particles ( l = h/mv). Therefore large fast moving objects (baseballs, rockets) have very short wavelengths (that are unobservable) but very small objects, particularly when moving slowly have wavelengths that can be detected in the behavior of the objects. 
66. Whenever charged particles are accelerated, electromagnetic waves are produced. 
67. The lowest energy state of a atom is called the ground state. 
68. Increasing light frequency increases the kinetic energy of the emitted photo-electrons in the photo-electric effect (KEmax = hf – Wo). 
69. As the threshold frequency increases for a photo-cell (photo emissive material) the work function also increases (Wo = h fo) 
70. Increasing light intensity increases the number of emitted photo-electrons in the photo-electric effect but not their KE (i.e. more intensity>more photons>more electrons emitted). This is the particle nature shown by light. 
71. Key to understanding trajectories is to separate the motion into two independent components in different dimensions - normally horizontal and vertical. Usually the velocity in the horizontal dimension is constant (not accelerated) and the motion in the vertical dimension is changing (usually with acceleration of g). 
72. Centripetal force and centripetal acceleration vectors are toward the center of the circle- while the velocity vector is tangent to the circle. (Centripetal means towards the center!) 
73. An object in orbit is not weightless - it is its weight that keeps it moving in a circle around the astronomical mass it is orbiting. In other words, its weight is the centripetal force keeping it moving in a circle. 
74. An object in orbit is in free fall - it is falling freely in response to its own weight. Any object inside a freely falling object will appear to be weightless. 
75. Rutherford discovered the positive nucleus using his famous gold-foil experiment. 
76. Fusion is the process in which hydrogen is combined to make helium. 
77. Fission requires that a neutron causes uranium to be split into middle size atoms and produce extra neutrons, which, in turn, can go on and cause more fissions. 
78. Radioactive half-lives are not effected by any changes in temperature or pressure (or anything else for that matter). 
79. One AMU of mass is equal to 931 meV of energy. (E = mc2). This is on the Reference Charts! 
80. Nuclear forces are very strong and very short-ranged. 
81. There are two basic types of elementary particles: Hadrons & Leptons (see Chart). 
82. There are two types of Hadrons: Baryons and Mesons (see Chart). 
83. The two types of Hadrons are different because they are made up of different numbers of quarks. Baryons are made up of 3 quarks, and Mesons of a quark and antiquark.
84. Notice that to make long-lived Hadron particles quarks must combine in such a way as to give the charge of particle formed a multiple of the elementary charge. 
85. For every particle in the "Standard Model" there is an antiparticle. The major difference of an antipartcle is that its charge is opposite in sign. All antiparticles will anhililate as soon as they come in contact with matter and will release a great amount of energy. 
85. Notice that to make long-lived Hadron particles quarks must combine in such a way as to give the charge of particle formed a multiple of the elementary charge. 
86. Notice that the retention of the Energy Level Diagrams on the new charts implies that there will be questions on it. The units (eV) can be converted to Joules with the coversion given on the first Chart of the Regents Reference tables. And can be used with the formula (given under Modern Physics formulas) to calculate the energy absorbed or released when the electron changes levels. 
87. Because of differences in gravity, a 200 pound person would only weigh 76 pounds on Mars. More gravity facts. 
88. Electric eels can stun both predators and prey with electric shocks of around 500 volts. More electricity facts. 
89. Energy from food is usually measured in joules or calories. More energy facts. 
90. Light from the Earth takes just 1.255 seconds to reach the Moon. More light facts. 
91. Sound travels at a speed of around 767 miles per hour (1,230 kilometres per hour). More sound facts. 
92. When traveling at 80 kilometres per hour (50 miles per hour), cars use around half of their fuel just to overcome wind resistance. 
93. Water can work against gravity, moving up narrow tubes in a process called capillary action. 
94. A magnifying glass uses the properties of a convex shaped lens to magnify an image, making it easier to see. 
95. A scientist who studies physics is known as a physicist. 
96. Uranus is the only planet in our solar system that rolls on its side like a barrel, while Venus is the only planet that spins in the opposite direction to Earth. 
97. The fastest land animal in the world is the Cheetah, clocking a max speed of around 113 km per hour (70 mph). 
98. 1921 Nobel Prize in Physics was won by Albert Einstein for his work in the field of theoretical physics.

Surf Anonymous using Tor


Have you ever wanted to browse the Internet anonymously? The  truth is that browser settings such as "incognito mode" or"private window" don't quite cut it. If you want real anonymity

Tor is an Internet networking protocol designed to anonymize the data relayed across it. Using Tor's software will make conceal a user's location and usage from anyone conducting network surveillance or traffic analysis. Using Tor makes it more difficult for Internet activity to be traced back to the user, this includes visiting  Web sites, online posts, instant messages, and other communication forms. Tor's use is intended to protect the personal privacy of users, as well as their freedom and ability to conduct confidential communication by keeping their Internet activities from being monitored.
The Tor network runs through the computer servers of thousands of volunteers spread throughout theworld. Your data is bundled into an encrypted packet when it enters the Tor network. Then, unlike the case with normal Internet connections, Tor strips away part of the packet's header, which is a part of the addressing information that could be used to learn things about the sender.Finally, Tor encrypts the rest of the addressing information, called the packet wrapper. Regular Internet connections don't do this either. The modified and encrypted data packet is then routed through many of these servers, called relays, on the way to its final destination.

Each relay decrypts only enough of the data packet wrapper to know which relay the data came from, and which relay to send it tonext. The relay then rewraps the package in a new wrapper and sends it on.The layers of encrypted address information used to anonymize data packets sent through Tor are reminiscent of an onion, hence the name. That way a data packet's path through the Tor network cannot be fully traced.Some regular Internet data packets are encrypted using a protocol called Secure Socket Layer (SSL) or its newer, stronger cousin Transport Layer Security (TLS). For example, if you submit your credit card information to an online store, that information travels across the network in an encrypted state to prevent theft.However, even when you use SSL or TLS, it's still possible for othersto intercept those packets and see the information's metadata —who sent that encrypted information and who received it —because the addressing wrappersin SSL or TLS are not encrypted. In Tor, they are, which hides the sender and receiver of a given transmission.
