VOYAGE UNLEASHED


"Chandrasekhar!" a robotic voice proclaimed

"Yes, sir!" replied Chandrasekhar.

"Go for undocking!"

In the next five minutes was the perspiring moment for the astronauts. 

"Telecom Go!" proclaimed the speaker.


The Majestic flew over up in a high velocity and pitched up to slow down the Majestic. It landed like a helicopter safely and soundly. The last "Go!" was yelled, and the door fell. Soon, Subramanyam will be the first man to land on Planet Hypatia, maybe the next Earth!


Physicists Raman and Chein-Shiung Wu were on a shuttle revolving Hypatia. Dr Sivan told it was the best place to check on Aries binary stars. They kept the telescope ready, to reason out the anomaly that has driven astrophysicists crazy! 


Wu scoped through the Aries A star and noticed the B star. Raman checked the final image, which has colour codings according to the elements present. The results shocked the scientists. It was nothing but diffusion. The chemical separation of elements solved some of the puzzles of those who assumed all were caused by nuclear reactions, which is true for the plasmas in the cores.


Subramanyam and Chandrasekhar set their feet. It was night. Subramanyam flashed the air. The light kept scattering. 

"Colloids causing Tyndall effect! Have to check them!" 


"Atmosphere consists of phosphine, oxygen, mercury and a minute amount of sulfuric acid," said Chandrasekhar, who checked it.


"Something made mercury into vapour in room temperature!" nodded Subramanyam. He took the machine in his hand a said, "The colloids are 1nm thick and covered with S8."


Something popped on Chandrasekhar's mind.

"Phosphine, S8, sulfuric acid," he mumbled but soon got distracted by an alarm.


Chandrasekhar's last oxygen tank emptied! Chandrasekhar removed his suit as Hypatia's pressure is same as the Earth. Subramanyam realised a problem. He took Chandrasekhar to the Majestic rushing and took blood from him. After centrifugation, he saw what he expected. 

"Mercury!"

 

The voyage unleashed the presence of extraterrestrial living things since the colloids were recognised as microbes covered in sulfur to survive in sulfuric acid. The Majestic was considered a success. Only Subramanyam knew how it felt to see a friend dying on his hand.

 

  1. Due to limitation in word count, I was not able to explain some things. Even though the story is complete itself. I am just adding some for clarification.
  2. Diffusion in binary stars are a real assumption. (Astronomical Journal, vol. 85, May 1980, p. 589-598. Research supported by the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada.)
  3. Mercury vapour in room temperature is science fiction.
  4. Microbe covered in Sulphur molecule or S8 is a assumption for extraterrestrial life in Venus (https://qollabstudio.blogspot.com/2020/09/life-in-venus-we-forgot-to-check-our.html )
  5. Phosphine is produced by organisms which does not need oxygen to live.
  6. Subramanyam Chandrasekhar was a Nobel Laurete for Physics.
  7. The planet is named after Hypatia, greek astronomer 
  8. Chein-Shiung Wu is a famous female nuclear physicist.
  9. Raman is named after CV Raman.
  10. Dr. Sivan (ISRO chairman) plays a role in the story.

HTML & CSS by John Duckett: Review

If you are passionate about coding and web development, you might know that HTML & CSS are the initial and vital language. You might have a guide and introduction to it on our website. But the most famous one is a book by John Duckett. HTML & CSS by John Duckett  is an outstanding beginner book. Unlike other coding books, this one isinteractive and clean. Each page of the books has an elegant design. The teachings are present on the left side, and the code snippets on the right. You can also find the code source on  their website . It also has codes relevant to HTML5 and CSS3, which are the newest versions of the languages. It is my first coding book, and I am so grateful for that. John Duckett also wrote a Javascript & jQuery book , which is like a sequel for this one.  You can buy it on Amazon by clicking below!

Different Architectures of NVidia GPUs

In today's blog, we will be discussing the different types of architecture(current) of the NVidia GPUs. You might have noticed some terms like Pascal, Turing and Ampere . These are the three types of architecture in which NVidia Graphics Card works. Pascal Architecture: Pascal is a codename for the GPU architecture developed by NVidia. This architecture was introduced in 2016.  This architecture is primarily used in the GeForce 10 Series  starting with the GeForce GTX 1080 and GTX 1070, which were released on May 17, 2016, and June 10, 2016, respectively.  The architecture was named after the French mathematician Blaise Pascal. This architecture has 64-128 CUDA cores, a memory bandwidth of 720GiB/s, and NVlink. They also announced the RayTracing support for Pascal Architecture in 2019 after a driver update, Turing Architecture: Turing is a codename for the GPU architecture developed by NVidia. This architecture was introduced in 2018. This architecture was primarily used ...

Why are there different types of Mozilla Firefox?

  Firefox is a fast and famous browser, developed by a non-profit. Firefox's speed and privacy were the key points that brought them up. By hearing all this, at last, you go to Mozilla Firefox Website to download it. But there are different types! Which one should you choose and which one you should download? STABLE EDITION It is the most used and stable Firefox Browser. It is the one you have seen in your computer lab. Firefox updates it every six weeks, checks and revises and, thus bug-free. BETA EDITION   It is one step ahead from the stable version. Beta versions have the next update or release of the stable version but sooner. Beta also has some minor security things for good. For instance, a developer can run an unpublished add-on in the beta version, but not in the stable version since the stable version does only allow authorised add-on. Beta can be good for those who are curious browser to see the next updates. For the developers, we have the next one! DEV EDITI...
