Pythagoras Cup: Working and Principle ProtonsTalk 2015-12-15 | A Pythagoras Cup is a form of drinking cup that forces its user to drink only in moderation. It allows the user to fill the cup with wine or any other liquid up to a certain level. If they fill the cup only to that level, the drinker may enjoy a drink in peace. If they exhibit greed, the cup spills its entire contents out of the bottom.Visit our website for interesting science news and blogs: atomstalk.comFollow Us:Facebook: facebook.com/ProtonsTalkTwitter: twitter.com/ProtonsTalkInstagram: instagram.com/ProtonsTalkLinkedin: linkedin.com/company/14626400Additional Image Credits:www.wikipedia.comwww.pixabay.comMusic Credit:http://www.melodyloops.com

Sets Part-1 | Representation, Subsets, Power Set, Universal Set | Set Theory | ProtonsTalk ProtonsTalk 2021-01-09 | A set is a collection of distinct objects, called elements of the set. A set can be defined by describing the contents, or by listing the elements of the set, enclosed in curly brackets. In this video, we will go through the representation of sets, equal sets, empty set, finite and infinite sets, subsets and supersets, power set and universal set.Part 2: youtube.com/watch?v=N7lqJmnVtLMDefinitions: 1) Empty Set: A set which does not contain any element is called the empty set or the null set or the void set2) Finite and Infinite Sets: A set which is empty or consists of a definite number of elements is called finite otherwise, the set is called infinite3) Equal Set: Two sets A and B are said to be equal if they have exactly the same elements and we write A = B. Otherwise, the sets are said to be unequal and we write A ≠ B.4) Subset: Set A is said to be a subset of a set B if every element of A is also an element of B.5) Power Set: The collection of all subsets of a set A is called the power set of A.

Kepler’s Laws Of Planetary Motion | ProtonsTalk ProtonsTalk 2020-12-29 | Kepler’s laws of planetary motion is a set of three astronomical laws that describe the motion of planets around the sun. These laws were published by the German astronomer Johannes Kepler in between 1609 and 1619. He published the first two laws in 1609 in a book called Astronomia Nova while the third law was published in 1619 in a book called Harmonices Mundi Statements:1.Kepler's First Law (Law of Ellipses): Planets orbit the sun in a path described as an ellipse with the sun at one of the two foci2. Kepler's Second Law (Law of Equal Areas): The line joining the Sun and a planet sweeps out equal areas in equal times.3. Kepler's Third Law (Law of Harmonies): The square of a planet’s orbital period is proportional to the cube of the semi-major axis (½ the distance across the long axis of the ellipse) of its orbit._________________________________________________Index:Introduction: 0:00Kepler's First Law: 1:04Kepler's Second Law: 5:19Kepler's Third Law: 9:07_________________________________________________Hope You Like It, If you did, give a thumbs up, share, comment and don't forget to subscribeRead More: atomstalk.com/blogs/keplers-lawsVisit our website: atomstalk.comFollow Us:Facebook: facebook.com/ProtonsTalkTwitter: twitter.com/ProtonsTalkInstagram: instagram.com/ProtonsTalkLinkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/company/prot...___________________________________________________#KeplersLaws #Gravitation

Parallel And Perpendicular Axis Theorems | Rotational Motion | ProtonsTalk ProtonsTalk 2020-12-08 | Parallel axis theorem and perpendicular axis theorem are two very important theorems which make the calculation of moment of inertia very easy.What is Moment of Inertia? It is a quantitative measure of the rotational inertia of a body i.e the opposition that the body exhibits to having its speed of rotation about an axis altered by the application of torque (turning force).Parallel Axis Theorem (Statement) Let the moment of inertia about the centre of mass, be I. The moment of inertia about another axis parallel to this axis is simply the sum of I and md2, where d is the distance between the axes and m is the mass of the object.Perpendicular Axis Theorem (Statement)Let the moment of inertia about an axis perpendicular to the planar surface be Iz, and Ix and Iy be the moments of inertia about two mutually perpendicular axes in the plane. The two axes should intersect where the first axis cuts the plane. Then the moment of inertia about Iz will be equal to Ix+Iy_________________________________________________Index__________________________________________________Intro: 0:00Introduction: 0:12Moment of Inertia: 0:40Parallel Axis Theorem: 3:48Perpendicular Axis Theorem: 5:22Application: 7:01Examples: 7:20_________________________________________________Hope You Like It, If you did, give a thumbs up, share, comment and don't forget to subscribeRead More (About the theorems): atomstalk.com/blogs/parallel-and-perpendicular-axis-theoremsVisit our website: atomstalk.comFollow Us:Facebook: facebook.com/ProtonsTalkTwitter: twitter.com/ProtonsTalkInstagram: instagram.com/ProtonsTalkLinkedin: linkedin.com/company/14626400___________________________________________________#ParallelAxisTheorem #PerpendicularAxisTheorem #MomentOfInertia

Formation of our Solar System and its Age: In-depth Explanation ProtonsTalk 2020-10-17 | Original caption and all credits to @howfarawayisit In this chapter we cover the overall formation of our Solar System – the phases it went through and the time it took. We start with the theory of planetary formation in general and then home in on our planetary system with its inner rocky and outer gas planets. Then we cover the contents of our circumstellar disk including all the elements we find here on Earth. We focus on the dust because it represents the initial building blocks for planets. We then cover how this dust can grow into planetesimals that grow into asteroid sized objects that in turn grow into planet sized objects. We see that, once objects get large enough, they sweep up all the matter in their orbits. This process ends when the Sun’s solar wind clears out the remaining gas and dust. We show how the activity was extremely chaotic, but it winds up with 9 planets – four inner rocky planets and 5 outer water rich planets with a “Snow Line” separating them. We then cover dating meteorites like Canyon Diablo and Allende. We take a deep dive into the lead-lead dating method because it is what tells us the age of the Sun and the Solar System. We conclude with a review of the Solar Systems development milestones and a look at what's next.Music@00:00 Beethoven: Symphony No. 6 in F Major, Op. 68 Pastoral I.

How do we match DNA? | DNA Fingerprinting ProtonsTalk 2020-08-05 | What is DNA fingerprinting or DNA profiling?Leicester University geneticist Alec Jeffreys developed a technique called DNA fingerprinting in 1985. It allows DNA samples from different people to be compared to look for similarities and differences. It is useful for solving crimes and can also confirm if people are related to each other, like in paternity testing. Any two people in the world have 99.9% of their DNA the same, so this process analyses the differences in the remaining 0.1%.This modern technology is called DNA profiling.Video Credits: @fuseschool Original Video: youtube.com/watch?v=7onjVBsQwQ8

What Are Stem Cells - FuseSchool ProtonsTalk 2019-03-06 | Our bodies are the ultimate factory. Every cell has its specific job to do, and is shaped to do that job perfectly. The fate of each cell is determined during the embryo stage, and then cannot be changed.However, cutting-edge research made a major discovery for modern science: there are these wonderful cells that exist called stem cells. These cells have the ability to become any type of cell because they are not specialised. Scientists were hugely excited by their discovery because they can be used to repair damaged organs, bones or cartilage. They could also be used to help treat diseases, such as by making new brain cells to treat people with Parkinson’s disease. Or they could be used to repair damaged immune systems, and even reverse paralysis or regrow lost limbs. The discovery of stem cells is huge for modern medicine, and could have a massive impact.There are two types of stem cells in humans: embryonic stem cells and adult stem cells.Embryonic stem cells are unspecialised cells that can develop into any type of cell. Adult stem cells are also unspecialised cells but whilst they can develop into many types of cell, unlike embryonic stem cells, they cannot develop into every type of cell.Adult stem cells come from tissues such as bone marrow. As in the name, embryonic stem cells can be removed from unused embryos such as those left over from fertility treatments for example.Whilst the discovery of stem cells offers huge potential for modern medicine, there are many social and ethical considerations that need to be taken into account. A lot of research was, and still is, needed to find out exactly how they work and how we can control them to do what we want; and not just grow uncontrollably.Stem cells are already being used in treatments.One big social and ethical debate around stem cells is therapeutic cloning. This is the concept of cloning a patient, growing an embryo from the cloned cells and then extracting stem cells from the embryo to grow the specific organ needed by the patient. The patient’s body would not reject this organ, as it is a made from the patient’s own cells. Unspecialised stem cells also exist in plants and can develop into the cells of flowers, roots, or leaves. Unlike in animal cells, some plant cells do remain unspecialised and can then develop into any type of plant cell. The unspecialised plant cells group together into structures called meristems. Whereas animals stop growing in size when they are adults, plants do not. This is because meristems divide to produce cells thus enabling plants to continue to grow both in height and width throughout their life. They also produce cells that develop into flowers and leaves.All Credits: youtube.com/fuseschoolGo Follow FuseSchool:Twitter: twitter.com/fuseSchoolWebsite: www.fuseschool.orgYouTube: youtube.com/fuseschoolFacebook: facebook.com/fuseschool

Future Computing: Brain-Based Chips ProtonsTalk 2016-01-05 | http://www.weforum.org"Every ten to twenty minutes today we produce the same amount of data we produced over the past one hundred years. In the next ten years we’ll produce that in five seconds,” says Henry Markram in this video for the World Economic Forum. Markram, who is Professor of Neuroscience at Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (EPFL), describes the new era of brain inspired computer science that’s evolving to meet the big data challenge. Watch the full video above or read key quotes belowOn the data challenge “One of the biggest challenges is the volume of data we’re producing, and the next challenge is the speed at which we process the data. Every ten to twenty minutes today we produce the same amount of data we produced over the past one hundred years. In the next ten years we’ll produce that in five seconds.”“What is absolutely clear to almost every technologist out there, is that we as humans can no longer read and digest this information. We need serious help. The essential help is in the form of algorithms. There are basically three kinds of algorithms that can go beyond the kind of algorithms that we used to use in the past. We need very sophisticated algorithms, and we need machines to help us build those sophisticated algorithms.”“They exist today and are being evolved at an incredibly high speed in order for us to make decisions on exabytes of big data as fast as possible. There’s clearly hope that we are going to be able to deal with the speed of making decisions on such massive volumes of data.” On deep learning and cognitive computing “The one that is very popular today is deep learning. It’s what Google is going into, and Microsoft and Facebook are using. Deep learning is a series of neurons or nodes with successive layers. You can train one of these nodes to recognise all the difference features and conditions of a face, so it become a face detecting node. And if you show it enough images of faces you can train and develop the algorithm.” “This will be a powerful tool that lives in the cloud, and when you want to recognise something you won’t realise that it ran through this deep learning algorithm to decide what you were looking at. This is going to become more and more important, because the trend is everything is becoming digital. Our self is becoming digital. Our health is becoming digital. Being able to recognise patterns is going to become increasingly important.” “The second approach is brain inspired design. Brain inspired design is more of a massive set of interconnections. It’s a concept of what the brain could be doing, and we try to mimic that concept. IBM “Watson” for example is a good idea of a kind of cognitive computing. We look at the brain and we see that it’s got sensory areas, and reasoning areas and decision making areas, and reward areas. And we mimic those mathematically and try to get the machinery to make these decisions. So Watson can take all of the millions of pages of Wikipedia, for example, and run it through this conceptual model of the brain and it can make decisions on them. And it’s incredibly powerful and very useful.” On mapping the brainThe third direction is the emerging direction and this depends now on much more concrete information about the brain. You can think of it as brain derived design; mimic the brain as accurately as possible, after all it is the product of four billion years of evolution. To get to brain design, you need to understand a lot more about the brain: how it’s put together, how the neurons are structured. The essence is really that you have neurons and you have a lot of cables. You have enough cables in your brain to wrap around the moon a couple of times. There’s a lot of cables that are connecting and forming this intricate network. And what’s it’s really doing is carrying out an algorithm through these different networks. You also have synapses that have to connect these neurons. And in a piece of the brain the size of a pin head, you have 40 million synapses that have to connect to about 30,000 neurons. They are the messengers between cells and by controlling these messengers, you can control the algorithm. ”Visit our website for interesting science news and blogs: sciencehook.com
