Monopoles



Monopoles are a magnet that has either two north sides or two south sides. Magnetism in bar magnets and electromagnets does not arise from magnetic monopoles, and in fact there is no conclusive experimental evidence that magnetic monopoles exist at all in the universe.
Effective (non-isolated) magnetic monopole quasi-particles exist in some condensed matter systems. But if these magnets do exist in theory you could harness an unlimited supply of renewable fuel.

Ten amazing science facts


  • A thimbleful of a neutron star would weigh over 100 million tons.
  • A typical hurricane produces the energy equivalent of 8,000 one megaton bombs.
  • Blood sucking hookworms inhabit 700 million people worldwide.
  • The interstellar gas cloud Sagittarius B contains a billion, billion, billion litres of alcohol.
  • The average person accidentally eats 430 bugs each year of their life
  • Butterflies taste with their hind feet, and their taste sensation works on touch – this allows them to determine whether a leaf is edible
  •  60-65 million years ago dolphins and humans shared a common ancestor
  • Every second around 100 lightning bolts strike the Earth.
  •  When a flea jumps, the rate of acceleration is 20 times that of the space shuttle during launch.
  •  The wingspan of a Boeing 747 is longer than the Wright brother’s first flight.

Cinnamon Dangers

Cinnamon Is delicious,But do you really know the dangers of the cinnamon challenge or cinnamon normally?
Taking a table spoon of this stuff and putting it in your mouth maybe be more dangerous then you think.
The reason it is very hard to swallow is because it is the desiccated powdered bark of the cinnamon tree.And the main component of bark is cellulose which is waterproof and also resistant to the enzymes produced in our bodies.

Once your nerve system gets the signal that you mouth is waterproof and has finely grounded powder in there your body goes into panic mode.Because we have to breathe the central nerve system tells you to gasp as if you were drowning.but the difference is that all that fine powder goes down you windpipe down your larynx into your trachea then into your lungs.and the one thing your body hates is exotic powders in your lungs so white blood cells get called to get rid of the substance.This results in inflammation,pneumonia and scaring of the tissues.Or you could choke to death So the cinnamon challenge is a very stupid thing to do.

The American association poison control centers recorded 139 calls in 2012 About the cinnamon challenge causing to be fatal.

Bottom line don't do the cinnamon challenge just watch it on the Internet or something.

Taurus G4



Taurus G4:
Taurus G4 is a aeroplane that runs completely on electricity, this plane runs on the equivalent of  half a gallon of fuel per passenger so it is extremely efficient this plane can go at 107 miles per hour and has an efficiency of 403 miles per gallon, although Boeing 747s can go faster than 500 mph and carry a lot more passengers in a ten hour flight the Boeing uses 36,000 gallons of fuel which is very bad.
The Taurus G4 designed by Pipistrel has a retractable undercarriage which enables good gliding ratio and low drag, Despite not being intended as a glider, the superb aerodynamic profile gives this plane very high spot in NASA's ideas for the future.

Solar Flares


A solar flare is a large explosion of magnetic energy from the suns atmosphere causing a burst of intense brightness.

A flare occurs when magnetic energy that has built up in the solar atmosphere is suddenly released - mostly in the active regions around sunspots. Their frequency varies from several a day when the sun is particularly active, to less than one a week during quiet periods.
Large flares are less frequent than smaller ones. Solar activity varies within an 11-year cycle at the peak of which there are typically more sunspots and therefore more solar flares.
