What is Fermi Paradox? - Science Feed

Have you ever thought why we have not found any advanced intelligent organism yet? Or is there any other type of life form outside our planet Earth? These are the basic questions that come into mind when we talk about Fermi Paradox. Fermi Paradox Fermi paradox is the lack of compatibility or contradiction between the high chances of existence of extraterrestrial civilization in the universe and lack of evidence to find them or communicate with them. This was termed after the name of physicist Enrico Fermi. It casually came in head of Fermi during talk with his colleagues and he asked, "Where is everybody?". Early and Related Theories Before Fermi Enrico, the founding father of modern rocket science Konstantin Eduardovich Tsiolkovsky, a Russian scientist, proposed Zoo hypothesis. In Zoo hypothesis, it is speculated that the extraterrestrial civilization knows about our existence but instead of contacting us, they opt to do observation on us similar to animals in zoo. The ot

Evolution of Origin: 21st Century's Bitter Truth

By the basic definition evolution is "the process by which new species or populations of living things develop from preexisting forms through successive generations." And by scientific terms it goes, "species can change over time, that new species come from pre-existing species, and that all species share a common ancestor." Now we read above lines again and find that both of them are basically the same thing while proving to be wrong at the same time. While many naturalists / geologists proposed their theory on the evolution of life only two of them gained massive attention, that is one being Jean Baptiste Lamarck, one of the best-known early evolutionists, and the other being infamous English naturalist that the world known as ‘Darwin”. Lamark first ever published his views in the year1801, later in “Philosophic Zoologique" in the year 1805 and subsequently in year 1809 in his book 'Histoire Naturelle Des Animaux Sans Vertèbres’. His works entails th

Most Amazing Organisms On Earth - Science Feed

Presenting One of the Most Amazing Organisms On Earth. . . . . . So, Let's Get Started. Armillaria ostoyae (Largest Living Organism by Area) Image Credit: Wikipedia Armillaria ostoyae, also known as the "Humongous fungus", is the record holder of being the largest organism in the world by area. The areal size of Humongous fungus is about 2,400 acres i.e. 9.6 square km. It is very common in the western region of the U.S. These are the type of parasitic fungi which depend on other plants of survival. Due to the easy availability of land and nutrients, Humongous fungus has grown to this extent. Pando (Largest Living Organism by Mass) Image Credit: Wikipedia Pando is the world's largest organism in the world by mass of all time. It is so big that it covers about 106 acres of land and weighs about 60,00,000 kg. It's estimated age is about 80,000 years. Populus Tremuloides is a scientific name given to this giant. Pando also has a record o

May Be Your Microprocessor is Slower Than Microprocessor made with Carbon Nanotube - Science Feed

If you know what Moore's Law says, then you know that performance gets doubled every two years as number transistors on a chip double every year and thus you have to pay lesser money for your smart devices. But, there are certain limitations of processors. When we will reach the atomic level of chip production, we cannot improve the speed and capability of our processors. No problem. Carbon Nanotubes are here. Recently, MIT Researchers have found a way to use carbon nanotubes (CNTs) in microcontrollers which are better than traditional silicon microcontrollers. They made 16-bit RISC-V microprocessor with carbon nanotube field-effect transistors (CNFETs). This is a microscopic image of RV16X-Nano die (image credit: Nature) These microprocessors are capable to save 10 times energy than silicon microprocessor. By overcoming the defects and getting full control over fabricating CNFETs, the execution was super accurate. The fabrication is done with carbon nanotubes deposit

Will You Inject Yourself with an Ancient Bacteria for Longer Life ? - Science Feed

Hii, This is Science Feed. In 2009, 3.5 million years old bacteria was found in the permafrost region on Mammoth Mountain in Siberia's Yakutsk Region. The bacteria was named 'Bacillus F' which was found by the Russian Scientist named Anatoli Brouchkov, head of the Geocryology Department at Moscow State University. After numbers of experiments, it was found that those mice which were injected with these bacterias have far better strength and immune system than normal mice. Each time the experiment was done, the results were the same. Curiously, One day Dr. Brouchkov injected himself with these 3.5 million old bacteria without knowing what would happen to his body. The problem was that scientists didn't know how the bacteria increase life span in mice. And about humans, not even a penny !!! He became the first guinea pig for the experiment In a statement, Dr. Brouchkov said that since the day he injected himself with, he felt more energetic and healthier. He eve
