George was the largest nuclear explosion to date (a record that stood until the first thermonuclear device test, Ivy Mike, 17 months later).

George was a thermonuclear physics experiment, and used a purely experimental device design unsuitable for use as a weapon. The test device, named the CYLINDER, consisted of an enriched uranium core which was imploded using a unique cylindrical implosion system. This device may have been the first to use external initiation to begin the fission chain reaction. The Cylinder fission device may have been based on a design by physicist George Gamow.

AMAZING FACTS : Aenigmachanna gollum, a 100 million-year-old fish

‘Meet Aenigmachanna gollum, a 100 million-year-old fish that  looks like a dragon and swims like an eel. 

After remaining hidden for a hundred million years, the fish was discovered in the watery underground rocks of Kerala and has been named “Gollum”, after the dark and conflicted character of JRR Tolkien’s epic saga ‘Lord of the Rings’.

The Gollum belongs to an old family of fish, called dragon snakeheads, which retains its primitive characteristics after all these millennia. As per the researchers, it also survived the separation of India and Africa around 120 million years ago. 

Interestingly, it is likely that the Gollum would have remained unknown for longer without the power of social media.

At the beginning of 2018, Rajeev Raghavan, a fish researcher at Kerala University of Fisheries and Ocean Studies and co-author of the present study, saw a post on social media of a curious fish that a person had found in a well in the backyard. He could not recognise the creature and emailed the picture to fellow researcher Ralf Britz, who couldn’t understand it either.

Raghavan and his colleagues started to collect more specimens of the fish for a scientific study that would bring Britz all the way to India. Then, in a flooded paddy field in Kochi, Britz would see the elusive fish rise to the surface late one night.

And so the Gollum was first identified as a new species and genus in May 2019 in a study published in Zootaxa.

A street in New York City’s Queens has been co-named after the Punjabi community and its contribution to the state.

101 Avenue, which is from 111 Street to 123 Street, has been given the name ‘Punjab Avenue.’

“Some of the hardest working people are of the South Asian community... Folks who have been here for a very long time,” said City Council Member Adrienne Adams who had moved the motion in the New York City Council for the renaming of the Avenue, in view of the strong presence of the Punjabi community in the area.
