10 Incredible Human Body Facts: You Must Know

The world outside us is immense and beautiful. Likewise, the world within us is also massive, complex yet breathtaking. The human body has several functions and things to take care of even on a daily basis. More than you and me, the human body works 24/7. Probably our body even works more than machines or computers day in and day out. Right from the process of forming an egg to give birth and even after death, the body has its own functions and abilities to keep you in the best possible state.

    • Children have more taste buds than adults

  • Your lungs are the only organs in your body that float

    Food spends up to 6 hours in the stomach being digested

    Your eyeballs are actually part of your brain

    Bones are 4 times stronger than concrete

    The largest muscle in your body is the one you are sitting on!

    Babies are born with 300 bones – adults have 206.

    Eyelashes last about 150 days.

    If the human eye was a digital camera , it would be 576 megapixels

    The heart circulates your blood through your body about 1,000 times each day.

Rise of Economic Nationalism

“Globalization presumes sustained economic growth. Otherwise, the process loses its economic benefits and political support.” Paul Samuelson Context Guess what Corona virus pandemic did that even Soviet union could not? It has shown the world decaying of the capitalist system. Spread of the virus has lead to various forms of lock downs across the globe. This caused multiple problems in economic globalisation to erupt, which made each country look to the protection of its  “own” economy . Now this funda of “own” economy and local over global is what we will focus upon. So stay tuned. Is it the end of Globalization? One of the devastating impacts of Covid-19 will be that nations are going to look even more inwards. Rather than look beyond its borders, nations will focus on their narrowly-defined national interests. Reflecting on the debate on globalization, one may wonder whether the world was entering a new, uncharted territory or if Covid-19 was simply accelerating a push-back agai...

WHAT IS SOUTH ATLANTIC ANOMALY

WHAT IS SOUTH ATLANTIC ANOMALY : SAA The SAA is referred to the behaviour of Earth’s Geo-Magnetic field in an area between Africa and South America. The SAA is an area where the Earth’s inner Van Allen radiation belt comes closest to the Earth’s surface, dipping down to an altitude of 200 kilometres. This leads to an increased flux of energetic particles in this region and exposes orbiting satellites to higher-than-usual levels of radiation. The effect is caused by the non-concentricity of the Earth and its magnetic dipole. The SAA is the near-Earth region where the Earth’s magnetic field is weakest relative to an idealized Earth-centered dipole field. Weakening of the magnetic field Over the last 200 years, the magnetic field has lost around 9% of its strength on a global average. A large and rapid shrink has been observed in the SAA region over the past 50 years just as the area itself has grown and moved westward. The weakening of the magnetic field is also causing technical diffic...

INDIA’S FIRST ROBOTIC TELESCOPE

Why in news? Recently, India’s first robotic telescope – Global Relay of Observatories Watching Transients Happen (GROWTH) -India, began its operation at the Indian Astronomical Observatory (IAO) in0000000 Hanle in Ladakh. GROWTH-India • It is a joint project of Indian Institute of Astrophysics, Bangalore and the Indian Institute of Technology Bombay (IITB). • It is fully funded by the Science and Engineering Board (SERB) of the Department of Science and Technology, under the PIRE project, administered by the Indo-US Science and Technology Forum. • It is a 70cm telescope and the primary objective of the project is the time domain astronomy. • It is mainly an imaging telescope . • The first targets for the telescope were chosen from the Messier catalogue (a catalogue of nearby, bright astronomical sources accessible from the northern hemisphere). About GROWTH Initiative • It is a part of multi-country collaborative initiative to observe transient events in the universe. • The initi...
