Ever heard of Olber's Paradox or wondered why night sky is dark???




  • Science
    [h=3]Astronomers may now fully understand why the sky is dark at night[/h] Each time we gaze up at the night sky, we take for granted that it's a pitch-black void studded with twinkling stars. This is called Olbers' Paradox, and though the idea was posed in the 1500s, it still remains somewhat controversial. It asks the question: If the universe is essentially infinite and ageless, why don't we see a uniform field of stars - and a blindingly bright sky instead of a dark one? Modern explanations suggest the universe is finite, has an age, and is expanding faster and faster, which (according to a discovery by Edwin Hubble in 1929) shifts the light of the most distant stars to colors that human eyes can't see. Paradox solved - mostly. But there may be another piece of

Two trillion galaxies in 'observable' Universe: NASA

There are a dizzying two trillion galaxies in the Universe, up to twenty times more than previously thought, astronomers reported Thursday. The surprising find, based on 3D modelling of images collected over 20 years by the Hubble Space Telescope, was published in the Astronomical Journal. Scientists have puzzled over how many galaxies the cosmos harbours at least since US astronomer Edwin Hubble showed in 1924 that Andromeda, a neighbouring galaxy, was not part of our own Milky Way.

The gift of vision is the gift of light! :clap2:

[h=3]They’re not surgeons. But this father-son duo helped 100 blind women in Telangana see again.[/h] This is a story of how a father-son duo used crowd funding to secure cataract surgeries for restoring the vision of 100 blind women in rural Telangana. As a school student Sathvik Reddy did not know how to extend his support to social causes, apart from donating money to individual charities and NGOs. But, during his summer holiday in 2016, his father Srinivas Reddy suggested that he start volunteering at a social service organisation. When he enrolled at HelpAge India as a student volunteer, Sathvik did not realise that his life was about to change in so many unforeseen ways. According to him, “We went around slums like Borbanda near Hyderabad to assist old people. I met an old couple and, unfortunately, the wife was blind. After speaking to her for a while, I found out that her children thought she was a burden.” According to a survey from 2007, around 37 million people around the world suffer from a visual impairment and over 15 million of these people are in India. This makes India home to the largest population of blind people in the world. Image Source: Flickr The Washington Post reports that “uncorrected refractive errors,” such as near-sightedness and farsightedness, are the leading cause of blindness in most of the world. But, in developing countries, blindness mostly stems from cataracts, a visual impairment that clouds the lens of the eye. Sathvik’s experience with people from rural backgrounds who are afflicted with blindness made him realise that a simple cataract surgery worth Rs. 2,000 could restore vision for a majority of them. When he started attending Sri Chaitanya Jr College, the classes ate into all his time. He wanted to go house-to-house to collect funds for cataract surgeries but his 13-hour study schedule did not permit any time for social service. So he approached his father, who suggested they tie-up with a crowd funding platform in order to ensure donations are collected in a streamlined and transparent way. Srinivas says, “When Sathvik was interning with HelpAge, he informed us about rehabilitation programmes for elders like geriatric treatment, free cataract treatment, and a care centre for senior citizens. Since he was most keen on helping blind people, we decided to go ahead with the cataract cause. We tied up with Operation Eyesight (India), an international organisation that aims to restore sight in developing countries and their partner hospital St Gregorios Balagram.” This is how the father-son duo started running a campaign to eliminate curable blindness among 100 women in Telangana on ‘Fuel a Dream’ (FAD) in June. Surprisingly, the campaign did splendidly well; they managed to collect Rs. 2, 28, 000. This enabled them to secure cataract surgeries for all the women in their target group. Asked if there was a particular reason why they picked women for the sight restoration operations in the campaign, Srinivas said, “We observed that women were the most vulnerable population because firstly they are the last people to receive any kind of care or treatment at home. Women are expected to be hospitable and act as a helping hand. When these women lose vision in both their eyes, they become dependent on others and cannot perform many household chores. We’ve noticed that blind women are often deserted by their families and have to fend for themselves.” Enthused with their success in restoring vision to a minor population of underprivileged women, the father-son duo, in October, launched another campaign on Fuel A Dream. But, this time, they aim to rid a whole village of blindness. This campaign aims to raise money for both men as well as women, and Srinivas says, “We want to go village by village and eliminate cataract-led blindness so that these villages can be tagged as being “blindness free.” Source: Flickr It is essential to keep in mind that cataracts can be cured only through surgery. To help provide eye-care services and bring vision to the lives of 50 underprivileged men and women in Telangana, donate here. Like this story? Or have something to share?

    [h=3]25 things you don't actually need to keep in the fridge[/h] There is probably a bunch of things in your fridge that doesn't need to be there. Removing these items from your fridge can free up space and improve the taste and quality of items that should be stored at room temperature. Take a look at this list and then go rummage through your fridge. Hot sauce stays fresh up to 3 years without refrigeration, even after opening it. Potatoes should be stored in paper bags in cool, dry pantries. Putting them in the fridge can make them taste funny and rot faster. Onions do best in dry, ventilated areas. Keep them away from potatoes, though. These tubers can make onions rot faster. Like onions, garlic is just fine in a dry, ventilated area of the pantry. Basil

[h=3]UFO expert found dead after ‘vomiting black liquid’[/h] A conspiracy theorist has been found dead in Poland - just days after he texted his mom instructing her to “investigate” should anything happen to him. Max Spiers, a 39-year-old father of two, was found dead on a sofa in Poland, where he had gone to give a talk about conspiracy theories and UFOs. He was ruled to have died from natural causes despite no post-mortem examination being carried out on his body. But his dark investigations into UFOs and government coverups may have made him enemies who wanted him dead, says mother Vanessa Bates, 63. In a chilling text message to his mom just days before his death, Spiers wrote: “Your boy’s in trouble. If anything happens to me, investigate.” Originally

    [h=3]New study links protein in wheat to the inflammation of chronic health conditions[/h] Scientists have discovered that a protein in wheat triggers the inflammation of chronic health conditions, such as multiple sclerosis, asthma and rheumatoid arthritis, and also contributes towards the development of non-coeliac gluten sensitivity. With past studies commonly focusing on gluten and its impact on digestive health, this new research, presented at UEG Week 2016, turns the spotlight onto a different family of proteins found in wheat called amylase-trypsin inhibitors (ATIs). The study shows that the consumption of ATIs can lead to the development of inflammation in tissues beyond the gut, including the lymph nodes, kidneys, spleen and brain. Evidence suggests that ATIs can worsen the
