Earth's Heartbeat

It might be surprising to know that just like humans, the earth also has a heartbeat. According to a recent study of ancient geological events, the heartbeat is 27.5 million years old and slow as well. It was first discovered during the 1960s. The Schumann Resonance waves (named after Winfried Otto Schumann) oscillating between greater and lower energy have a base frequency of 7.83 Hz. The base frequency of 7.83 Hz is called 'Earths Heartbeat'. Progressively weaker harmonics have been measured at around 14.3, 20.8, 27.3, and 33.8 Hz.


Humans have a pulse, so does the earth. The pulse of the earth is a cluster of geological events which are volcanic activity, mass extinctions, plate reorganizations, and sea level rises. Research shows that the next pulse will be after 20 million years as it occurs only every 27 million years once. 

The pulses of tectonic and climate change are the result of geophysical processes related to the dynamics of plate tectonics and mantle plumes. The pulses could have developed by astronomical cycles associated with the earth's motions in the solar system.

WHY ATLANTIC AND PACIFIC OCEAN ARE NOT MIXED?

Nearly 72% of the earth is filled with water and it is present with different names- oceans, seas, rivers. Why are they named differently? There are five oceans namely Artic ocean, Atlantic Ocean, Pacific Ocean, Indian ocean and Antarctic ocean . All the oceans are different in their physical and biological character called ocean clines. When we look at the Atlantic and Pacific Ocean junction, they do not mix. Is there any invisible Wall in between them? Many scientists have conducted research to solve this mystery. The Atlantic and Pacific Ocean have different chemical composition. The salinity of the water in the Atlantic Ocean is five times more than the Pacific Ocean. The density of water is also different, so even marine animals in Atlantic Ocean will not go to the Pacific Ocean. They cannot survive in other oceans. Atlantic and Pacific Ocean meet at Cape Horn. The narrow straight line formed by the water bodies is called Drake Strait. The Pacific Ocean is

World’s most Expensive Frog

The Poison Dart frog, which is 6cm long, is the world's most expensive animal. The worth of the frog is Rs 1.5 lakhs. It is expensive because of its poison and color. They are the most brightly colored frogs in the world. It is found in yellow, gold, copper, red, green, blue, golden, or black. Beneath its skin, it keeps its poison. The poison is called batrachotoxin. This type of frog is found in wet, tropical forests of Central and South America, where their diet contributes to the toxins they secrete through their skin. The Golden Poison Dart frog is the most toxic among them. The venom it has is enough to kill 10 grown men. It eats ants and small insects that have toxic chemicals in their bodies. The insects consume toxic plants, and the frog consumes the insects. If a Blue Poison Dart frog is touched, it does not cause death like a Golden Poison Dart frog. Instead, it causes immense pain, cramping, stiffness, serious swelling, nausea, and muscular paralysis.

Blockchain Technology

Do you know who introduced the first Blockchain? Blockchain technology is a revolutionary technology that is popularly known as the Backbone of Digital Cryptocurrencies, which have been generating incredible hype in the last decade. Blockchain was introduced by the unknown persons behind the online cash currency bitcoin, under the pseudonym of Satoshi Nakamoto. Do you know why Blockchain was introduced? Blockchain allows participants of the network to perform mathematical verification and reach a consensus to agree on any particular value. While making a transfer, the sender uses their private key and announces the transaction information over the network. Blockchain technology can be used to create a Permanent, Public, transparent ledger system for compiling data on sales, tracking digital use, and payments to content creators, such as wireless users or musicians.                           Most people who lack familiarity with blockchain confuse it for a bitcoin; however, bitcoin is t
