A friend of mine in the mechanical department introduced his classmate named Premanand with the tag "The scientist of our class".I wondered why he is calling him so....
But after speaking for about 10 minutes with him I understood he is indeed a scientist.
He has discovered a new force named Iota force!!!
Now you may wonder what the hell is Iota force....
First we must brush up with Kepler's laws of planetary motion to understand this Iota force.

The second law attracts the attention....
It states that"A line joining a planet and the sun sweeps out equal areas during equal intervals of time."




How is this possible???

Kepler says that when earth is closer to sun it revolves faster and when earth is away from sun the speed decreases.
This was my knowledge before the meet with that scientist....
He said he has a different theory.(He says it is wrong)
Imagine a circle.With 2 points A and B in it.Such that A is closer to the center and B is away from the center.(As shown in the below fig)



PROOF:
Rotate the circle 360 degree(one complete rotation).Now velocity at the point A is less than velocity at the point B(velocity=dist.travelled/time taken and A travells lesser distance!!).
So it is not acceptable that Earth moves faster when it is closer to sun(as per the above proof).There must be some other force to make the Earth move faster!It is the so called IOTA FORCE.

He presented a paper on this theory!!!
This is the abstract of his paper....

This paper named “Iota force” propose the existence of new kind of force acting on
earth basically due to the rotation of the sun. Calculated results showed that the
centrifugal force that the earth posses merely equals the gravity of the sun if it is assumed
stationary.


But since earth is a particle of the gravitational sphere spread by the sun, it
becomes highly necessary for the earth to balance as the rotating particle in the disc as
the sun (virtually the gravitational field) is rotating. But the calculations clearly showed
that the earth is more unlikely to be a particle in the disc as it is revolving at a much
slower pace than it should be. It clearly indicates that there is an unrevealed component
of gravity that is vital in keeping the earth in its orbit.


This paper states that it should be the rotational force that is opposing the main
gravitational field and keeps its out of the rotational effect of the gravitational field of the
sun. It is so termed ‘Iota Force’. But it is noted that the earth is slowing down in rotation
as the time is increasing and hence the Iota force actually decreases, which means that the
earth is becoming more and more as a particle of the gravitational sphere of the sun.
Based on this concept the paper aims at explaining the expansion of the solar
system, there by the expansion of the universe.


Does the IOTA FORCE really exist???
I agree with Premanand...
What do you say????

There are a few things that can be done in times of grave emergencies. Your mobile phone can actually be a life saver or an emergency tool for survival. Check out the things that you can do with it:




Emergency

The Emergency Number worldwide for Mobile is 112. If you find yourself out of the coverage area of your mobile; network and there is an emergency, dial 112 and the mobile will search any existing network to establish the emergency number for you, and interestingly this number 112 can be dialed even if the keypad is locked. Try it out.

Have you locked your keys in the car?

Does your car have remote keyless entry? This may come in handy someday. Good reason to own a cell phone: If you lock your keys in the car and the spare keys are at home, call someone at home on their mobile phone from your cell phone.
Hold your cell phone about a foot from your car door and have the person at your home press the unlock button, holding it near the mobile phone on their end. Your car will unlock. Saves someone from having to drive your keys to you. Distance is no object. You could be hundreds of miles away, and if you can reach someone who has the other 'remote' for your car, you can unlock the doors (or the trunk).
Note: It didn't work fine! I tried it out and it did not unlock my car!

Hidden Battery Power


Imagine your mobile battery is very low. To activate, press the keys *3370# Your mobile will restart with this reserve and the instrument will show a 50% increase in battery. This reserve will get charged when you charge your mobile next time.
Note: This too didn't work fine!

How to disable a STOLEN mobile phone?

To check your Mobile phone's serial number, key in the following digits on your phone * # 0 6 #
A 15 digit code will appear on the screen. This number is unique to your handset. Write it down and keep it somewhere safe. When your phone get stolen, you can phone your service provider and give them this code. They will then be able to block your handset so even if the thief changes the SIM card, your phone will be totally useless. You probably won't get your phone back, but at least you know that whoever stole it can't use/sell it either. If everybody does this, there would be no point in people stealing mobile phones.
Note:This works well!



Hope you enjoyed reading this post!!!!

How SMS Works?



BTS - Base Transceiver Station (Antenna)
BSC - Base Station Controller
MSC - Mobile Switching center
HLR- Home Location Register
VLR - Visitor Location Register
SMSC - Short Message Service Center

When a user sends an SMS, the request is placed via the MSC. The MSC forwards the SMS to the SMSC where it gets stored. The SMSC queries the HLR to find out where the destination mobile is and forwards the message to the destination MSC if the destination mobile is available. If the mobile is not available the message gets stored in the current SMSC itself. In most installations If a mobile is not available for SMS delivery the SMSC will not retry. Instead the destination MSC will inform the SMSC when the mobile comes back in range.SMS handling is a store and forward operation unlike USSD.

SMS has got a validity period, for which it will wait for the destination mobile to the available. After that time the SMSC will delete the message. The validity period can be set by the user. Normal validity is 1 day.

Bermuda make 13 ... and lose in four balls
South Africa 15 for 0 beat Bermuda 13 by ten wickets



Bermuda's women carved an unwanted niche in the international record books with one of the most abject performances in the game's history. In their opening match of the World Cup Qualifiers at Stellenbosch University, they were bowled out for 13 and then South Africa took only four balls to sweep to a ten-wicket win.

Bermuda's men haven't made much of a positive impact in the game either - eleven months ago, they conceded 413 for 5 against India in the World Cup and lost by 257 runs, the biggest margin in one-day history. But their women have just lowered the bar by several notches.

They crawled to 7 for 2 after ten overs, but that represented the high-water mark. By the time drinks were taken after 15.5 overs they were 13 for 7 and had lost their 42-year-old captain, Linda Mienzer, for a determined 1 off 48 deliveries. Such was the confusion that when play resumed the batsmen returned to the wrong ends.

The last three wickets failed to add to the score as Sunette Loubser finished with 6 for 3, including 5 for 1 in 12 balls.

Terry-Lynn Paynter opened Bermuda's attack but struggled to find the cut strip, conceding nine wides and a no-ball. Olivia Anderson did manage to reach one, which she dispatched for four.
The statistics of the match are mindboggling. Eight Bermudans failed to get off the mark, and the three that did only managed a single each. Ten of the runs that helped make up their meagre score were extras - 71%. South Africa's score of 15 for 0 was also made up of ten extras - nine wides and a no-ball. Anderson scored 50% of the runs scored off the bat in the match, and 80% of her side's runs.

Unfortunately for South Africa, but mercifully for the record-books, Bermuda's debacle does not count towards the official statistics because they are ranked outside the world's top ten countries. "I am disappointed that today's stats don't count for nothing," said Loubser, "but I would say it was a team effort to win the opening match of the tournament.

Bermuda's captain, Mienzer, tried desperately to put a positive gloss on the performance. "I am extremely proud and our team is very proud to be here," she said. "Just a year and a half ago there was no women's programme so we went to Canada and qualified to come here which is an achievement in itself. In terms of women's cricket in Bermuda, it has come a long way but we still have a long way to go."

Hmmm....What a captain???
