"The butterfly effect is all
the more pleasing because the computer model that led to its discovery
resembles a butterfly. The mathematician Edward Lorenz created the model,
called a strange attractor, in the 1960s; it's a line that alternately spirals
around two adjacent ovals, mapping out the chaotic solution to a set of
interrelated equations." When the Butterfly Effect Took Flight https://www.technologyreview.com/s/42...
"On a winter day 50 years ago,
Edward Lorenz, a mild-mannered meteorology professor at MIT, entered some
numbers into a computer program simulating weather patterns and then left his
office to get a cup of coffee while the machine ran. When he returned, he
noticed a result that would change the course of science." The Butterfly
Effect http://www.uh.edu/engines/epi652.htm
"In 1960 Lorenz tried to model
the weather. He wrote simplified equations and solved them on a primitive
computer. Sure enough, his output did behave a lot like real weather. His
colleagues watched over his shoulder. They were fascinated." DNews is dedicated

Elon Musk is a man on a mission,
and that mission is to get humanity not just to Mars, but to get them to Mars
in this decade. This is why he built his own space organization in SpaceX, to
do what NASA (at the time) couldn't do, inspire the need to be in space again.
And he has succeeded, and now, SpaceX is not only one of the leading places in
all space travel designs and plans, but they are indeed looking to be the group
to send a person to Mars. But the plans go beyond that, he doesn't just want to
land a person on the surface of Mars and say he's done (which is what we did
with the moon if you really think about it), but he wants to set up a colony
there. Surely you must be thinking, "well a colony would be nice, but
that'll take some time to get up and running, right?" And you're
absolutely right. It will take a lot of time and effort, but some of the work
is already being done because of SpaceX via their Starship. You see, the
biggest problem with getting to Mars...is getting to Mars. We for the longest
time barely had something that could get us to the moon and back safely, and
even then (like Apollo 13) it was very easy to screw up. With SpaceX though,
they've been working on faster, stronger, and most importantly of all, reusable
craft that can operate in space, come back to Earth, and then be outfitted
again for future missions. And it's this Starship class of ship that we'd be
taking to Mars to go and make a colony. Musk wrote in a message that the
eventual goal for his "Mars plan" is to launch each Starship vehicle
three times per day on average. Each Starship will be able to carry about 100
tons of payload to orbit, so, at that flight rate, every vehicle would loft
about 100,000 tons annually, he explained. Now, Musk may sound like he's just
spouting out a number here (and if we're being honest...he kind of is) but in
truth, he is trying to abide by the laws of space and reality. What do we mean
by that? Simple, when it comes to the facts of space travel, having the right
windows to travel in are essential. Not the least of which is trying to
minimize travel time by making sure you are in the correct windows. Confused?
I'll explain. Think about the solar system we are in, ok? Think about how every
planet orbits around the sun. Now, if you were to look at Mercury, and its
orbit, and then compare it to Earth's orbit, you would see quite easily that
its orbit was shorter than Earths by a very good margins. 88 days compared to
365. So now, compare the Earth's orbit around the sun to Mars. 365 days...to
867 days. Yeah...that's quite a leap. And because of that, the Earth and Mars
aren't in the same alignment most times. Thus, Musk, NASA and others are aiming
to try and get people to Mars within certain windows. "Building 100
Starships/year gets to 1000 in 10 years or 100 megatons/year or maybe around
100k people per Earth-Mars orbital sync," he said in a tweet. So for him,
he's thinking REALLY long term by not just trying to get to Mars, but also
trying to make it so WHEN we get there, and we have enough time and resources
to make a true colony, we have the ships necessary to get a full colony made in
a decent amount of time. By "decent amount of time" I mean about
50-100 years. Yeah, this is not a quick process, however, the quicker we get
started, the quicker we get done, right? And that's one of Musk's biggest
goals. Trying to do things now instead of hoping something will develop later
to make things more speedy. Because waiting around just isn't good when you're
trying to shape the human race towards its future. After hearing some of his
numbers, he stated one fan asked if he was seriously stating that we could have
a million people on Mars by 2050. His response? "Yes." Obviously that
would go against his timeline we just spelled out in part because of how long
it would take to MAKE a colony that could house a million people and be both
functional and self-sustaining, but hey, goals! Before we talk about whether
these goals are feasible or not, be sure to like the video or dislike it so
that we can work to make these videos as best we can for you the viewer! Also,
be sure to subscribe to the channel, that way you don't miss ANY of our weekly
videos! So let's break this down, shall we? Could we really have a full-on
colony city on Mars by 2050 that has a million or so people on it? Credits:

Hydrogen bonds bind water molecules to each other, giving the droplet its characteristic shape. But they're easily broken. Researchers from two collaborating US universities recently discovered a form of hydrogen bond so strong it's comparable to the covalent bonds binding hydrogen and oxygen together into water molecules within the droplet. This newly discovered bond hasn't been observed before because it is a very brief intermediate phenomenon taking place during a chemical reaction. The relevant paper was published in the journal "Science" yesterday.

While getting married, most of the guys say to girl's parents,
"I will keep your daughter happy for the rest of her life".
Have you ever heard a girl saying something like this to the boy's parents
like "I will keep your son happy for the rest of his life"????
Nooo.... because women don't tell lies! 😀😜

Husband to wife : U should learn to embrace your mistakes…..
Please read the above article. I have also re-shared a previous post to underline the gravity of the matter.
You will understand that our data like name, age, location, bank ID and password, etc. will soon be an open book to WhatsApp, Facebook and Instagram and it's frightening.
We need to switch over to an alternative messaging app (application) like the Signal app. Hence the re-sharing. We will have to adjust to the change if we want to protect our data.
But the switch-over will be successful only if we all change over to Signal. We will have to inform our friends and relatives, too.
I request the Executive Committee to give it a serious thought and re-form the group in the Signal app.
I shall soon be moving over to Signal and will not be available here. I will also kill my Facebook and Instagram accounts soon.
