90% of people between 10–29 years sleep with their phones. It is possible to die due to a broken heart. It is called as stress cardiomyopathy. If a person sleeps a lot, then he/she is sad. Having conversation with a woman gives man improved mental strength. Intelligent people are more likely to remain faithful while in a relationship. You have a favourite song? That's because you are emotionally attached to that song. 1 in 5 people of India are mentally depressed, making it the most depressed country in the world. Most of us suffer from Phanthom Vibration syndrome. The feeling that your phone is vibrating when it's actually not. There is a gene that can cause you to be negative most of the time. It takes only 4 min. to fall in love. People who easily get distracted are more creative and tend to have more IQ. 10% of world population is left handed. The larger your signature, the larger your self esteem. The smaller your handwriting, the lesser you are open to conversation. If th...

The  model of the solar system is not a vortex, or if it is, I missed that class and someone failed to tell me. However, there was  a  model that suggested the vortex as a kind of mechanical explanation of things. Well, I guess it was really a theory aiming at explaining gravitation, but it’s at least a theory astronomically applicable, on the solar system, and it’s vortex-based. I won’t rephrase this into my own words but shall give you the relevant section from the relevant Wikipedia article without further ado. Well , almost  without further ado, but first, just let us have a look at an illustration of it, shall we? [Theory presented below the image.] Descartes' vortex theory Because of his  philosophical  beliefs,  René Descartes  proposed in 1644 that no empty  space  can exist and that space must consequently be filled with  matter . The parts of this matter tend to move in straight paths, but because they lie close together, ...

The Sun-centered model of the solar system was first proposed more than a thousand years before Copernicus. What does our Solar System really look like? If we were to somehow fly ourselves above the plane where the Sun and the planets are, what would we see in the center of the Solar System? The answer took a while for astronomers to figure out, leading to a debate between what is known as the geocentric (Earth-centered) model and the heliocentric (Sun-centered model). Above: The Solar System. Image Credit: NASA The ancients understood that there were certain bright points that would appear to move among the background stars. While who exactly discovered the "naked-eye" planets (the planets you can see without a telescope) is lost in antiquity, we do know that cultures all over the world spotted them. The ancient Greeks, for example, considered the planets to include Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn — as well as the Moon and the Sun. The Earth was in the center of it ...

by Ron Kurtus (revised 2 Janaury 2018) The Bohr model—or solar system model—of the atom describes atoms as consisting of a nucleus with a number of electrons in orbits around that nucleus, similar to a solar system. Because of this, people have speculated that perhaps  atoms are like tiny solar systems . Since our own Solar System consists of a sun in the middle with eight smaller planets rotating around it in their orbits and the element Oxygen has a nucleus and eight smaller electrons rotating around it in their orbits, you could imagine that there is a similarity between the two. Likewise, perhaps our solar system is an atom in some larger entity. Although recent studies have shown that the Bohr model of the atom is probably not correct—or at least incomplete—the concept of tiny solar systems has captured the imagination of many people. Questions you may have include: Is it possible that atoms are like tiny solar systems? Is it possible that our solar system is really an atom in...
