5 Universe facts

There is still so little known about outer space by modern science, but of that little we do know, there are some extraordinarily amazing things. This is a list of the top 10 cool facts about Space.

1. Lightweight

Fact: If you put Saturn in water it would float

The density of Saturn is so low that if you were to put it in a giant glass of water it would float. The actual density of Saturn is 0.687 g/cm³ while the density of water is 0.998 g/cm³. At the equator Saturn has a radius of 60,268 ± 4 km – which means you would need an extremely large glass of water to test this out.

2. Constantly Moving

Fact: We are moving through space at the rate of 530km a second

Our Galaxy – the Milky Way is spinning at a rate of 225 kilometers per second. In addition, the galaxy is travelling through space at the rate of 305 kilometers per second. This means that we are traveling at a total speed of 530 kilometers (330 miles) per second. That means that in one minute you are about 19 thousand kilometers away from where you were. Scientists do not all agree on the speed with which the Milky Way is travelling – estimates range from 130 – 1,000 km/s. It should be said that Einstein’s theory of relativity, the velocity of any object through space is not meaningful.

3. Farewell old friend!

Fact: The moon is drifting away from Earth

Every year the moon moves about 3.8cm further away from the Earth. This is caused by tidal effects. Consequently, the earth is slowing in rotation by about 0.002 seconds per day per century. Scientists do not know how the moon was created, but the generally accepted theory suggests that a large Mars sized object hit the earth causing the Moon to splinter off.

4. Ancient Light

Fact: The light hitting the earth right now is 30 thousand years old

The energy in the sunlight we see today started out in the core of the Sun 30,000 years ago – it spent most of this time passing through the dense atoms that make the sun and just 8 minutes to reach us once it had left the Sun! The temperature at the core of the sun is 13,600,000 kelvins. All of the energy produced by fusion in the core must travel through many successive layers to the solar photosphere before it escapes into space as sunlight or kinetic energy of particles.

5. Solar Diet

Fact: The Sun loses up to a billion kilograms a second due to solar winds

Solar winds are charged particles that are ejected from the upper surface of the sun due to the high temperature of the corona and the high kinetic energy particles gain through a process that is not well understood at this time. Also, did you know that 1 pinhead of the sun’s energy is enough to kill a person at a distance of 160 kilometers? [Sourced from Planet Science]

Top 10 amazing earth facts

As well known and well traveled as our planet is, there are still new things being discovered every day. In fact, most of our oceans haven’t even been explored yet which is why when new depths are located; they often come with hundreds of new species. Rain forests offer up new animals and plants as often as we can explore them. The Earth is constantly changing, shifting, and exposing new secrets for humans to marvel at. It took many years and many great minds to solve the problem of getting through Earth’s atmosphere into the wide expanse of space beyond. Here are ten amazing facts about our home that you may not be aware of.

10. The Atmosphere

Many layers of atmosphere coat our planet including the mesosphere, ionosphere, exosphere, and the thermosphere, but it’s the troposphere, closest to the planet itself, that supports our lives and is, in fact, the thinnest at only about 10 miles high.

9. Deserts

Believe it or not, most of the Earth’s deserts are not composed entirely of sand. Much, about 85% of them, are rocks and gravel. The largest, the Sahara, fills about 1/3 of Africa (and it is growing constantly) which would nearly fill the continental United States.

8. The Big Blue Marble

The Earth is, in fact, not really round. It is called an oblate spheroid meaning it’s slightly flattened on the top and bottom poles.

7. Salty Oceans

If you could evaporate all the water out of all the oceans and spread the resulting salt over all the land on Earth, you would have a five hundred-foot layer coating everything.

6. Lakes and Seas

The largest inland sea (or, sometimes called a lake) is the Caspian Sea which is on the border of Iran and Russia.

Stars Facts

There are more stars than all of the grains of sand on earth.

You can see stars from the bottom of a well even in day light.

Stars with really strong gravity cause themselves to become smaller and smaller and eventually turn into black holes.

Stars come in different colors; hot stars give off blue light, and the cooler stars give off red light.

In honor of the original thirteen states, the U.S. $1 bill has the following on the back: 13 steps on the pyramid. The motto above the pyramid has 13 letters (annuity coatis). E pluribus Unum, written on the ribbon in the eagle's beak, has 13 letters. 13 stars appear over the eagle's head. 13 stripes are on the shield. 13 war arrows are in the eagle's left talon.

All of the stars comprising the Milky Way galaxy revolve around the center of the galaxy once every 200 million years or so.

Until the mid sixteenth century, Comets were believed to be not astronomical phenomena, but burning vapors that had arisen from distant swamps and were propelled across the sky by fire and light.

Our galaxy has approximately 250 billion stars and it is estimated by astronomers that there are 100 billion other galaxies in the universe.

A galaxy of typical size, about 100 billion suns produces less energy than a single Quasar.

A Comet's tail always points away from the sun.

A Pulsar is a small star made up of neutrons so densely packed together that if one the size of a silver dollar landed on earth, it would weigh approximately 100 million tons.

The Star Alpha Herculis is twenty five times larger than the circumference described by the earth's revolution around the sun. This means that twenty five diameters of our solar orbit would have to be placed end to end to equal the diameter of this Star.

Population of India - India's Population

India is the second country after China to cross the one billion mark in population. The population of India makes India the second most populated country in the world. India's population currently is 1,147,995,904 (source: www.worldstatesman.org ).

Between 1991 - 2001 India's population rose by 21.34%. India only occupies 2.4% of the world's total land area but India supports over 15% of the world's total population. Around 40% of Indians are young children under the age of 15. There are more than 550,000 villages where about 70% of the population lives and the rest 30% of the Indian population lives in 200 towns and cities. Every year India adds almost the total population of Australia. Studies show that India has more population than the whole of Africa and also more than North America and South America put together.

Google TV and the Google Era

Google is preparing its Google TV service. The World in the Google Era.

Probably you’ve already heard about the Google TV. Although all the companies involved are very secretive about this new service/product, The New York Times has published yesterday an article about this, followed, of course, by many others copying the topic and sharing their own opinions. In a nutshell, Google and Intel have teamed with Sony and have contracted Logitech for this new technology.  Logitech will design a keyboard-remote control for the new Google child.

So what does Google TV do? To cite the source, rather than rewrite it with my own words:

The partners envision technology that will make it as easy for TV users to navigate Web applications, like theTwitter social network and the Picasa photo site, as it is to change the channel.

A very important aspect, technology wise, is that the platform adopted for Google TV is the open Android. This will make the TV box accessible for developers to write their own application for, unlike the product from the Google’s more and more direct competitor, the Apple TV. (mrrr…)

But enough about this Google TV thing. There are many technical or visionary discussions on the internet. Others are making a comprehensible comparision between Google and Apple. I am sure you can find all this by yourself, using Google, of course…

What I want to question here is: Where will Google stop? and Will it, eventually, stop? How will the Google Era look like?

I want to start saying that I love Google products. Almost all of them. And I am using many of them myself. But even more because I love them, what is happening is frightening. Imagine this: you just bought an inexpensive netbook, coming preinstalled with Google Chrome OS. You don’t have to install or import anything for this to feel like your computer, because all your data and profile is in the cloud. So, you just open the Chrome Browser and login to your private Gmail account. You see some Youtube videos, get a Buzz, you click some Google ad for a wanted product, you use Google Checkout to buy it. Next you want to see what’s up with your company, so you log in to your work Google Apps account, bla bla bla…, use a lot of Google Docs.. bla bla bla.. . You spend money with Google, you earn money with Google (AdSense, and now… Google Affiliate Network!). I didn’t cover all the applications, all I want to point is : there are so different areas and markets! But there is more: you get a call on your Android mobile, you develop your own applications with the App Engine… And now: you close the computer and go to the living room, and you open the Google TV. What’s next: you use your GCard to lock your home, go into your GCar and drive to the closest GFood (or McG)? Abroad you travel with GAirlines and register to one of the many GHotels in the area? But why travel, when you’ll have so many Google virtualization technologies? Welcome the Google Era.

What scares me is that in the past one company had to have a long history in that specific field to be an authority. You want to shave, you must at least consider Gillette, you want to buy some cheap generic thing, you may go to Wal-Mart, you want to read some news, The New York Times would be a good choice… you get the idea. A newcomer would have a hard time to compete with that brands, so everyone specialized in its domain and there were different companies for different products. You would not get a razor branded The New York Times.  Now, because Google controls the search – slash – the content – slash – the ads – slash the digital life, it goes in all kind of areas, put its mark in just a glimpse and want to control it all. This will be what I call the Google Era.

I am not going into the privacy/Big Brother polemic, I just want to expose the monopolization and to defend the diversity. I don’t even think that Google TV will be a bad technology.
