Weightless experiencing Aircraft

When as kids most of us would have wanted to be an astronaut and dreamed of doing all that cool stuff that a astronauts got a chance to do. One of the coolest things that everyone want to do is float in no gravityand experience weightlessness like we see in movies, videos and photos.Well for doing all these stuff we do not need to go to NASA and be a astronaut, but we can do it by remaining inside the Earth orbit. NASA has a special plane that provide the experience of weightlessness. ZERO G Corporation is a American company that will give you weightlessness experience at a sum of about $5000(Rs 4lakh approx).
 In order to train astronauts,conducting research and for shooting space movies depicting gravity free , NASA uses a reduced gravity aircraft that provides brief weightless environment in which people can float like they do in space. The aircraft has been nicknamed as "vomit comet".
The aircraft do it by following an elliptic path relative to the centre of Earth. While doing so, the aircraft and payload inside it are in free fall at certain points of its flight path. The aircraft gives about 25 seconds of weightlessness for every 65 seconds of flight in each parabola.
People can also experience weightlessness by giving $4950 plus tax to the Zero G Corporation which has a contract with NASA and uses G-FORCE ONE aircraft , a modified Boeing 727-200.
Vomit Comet has been used to film the weightlessness scene of the movie "Apollo 13".

AI in Soap Manufacturing Industry

Machine learning (ML) has numerous potential applications in the soap manufacturing industry, contributing to process optimization, quality control, resource management, and more. Here are some examples: 1. Quality Control : ML algorithms can be trained to analyze images of soap bars to detect defects such as cracks, air bubbles, or inconsistent coloring. By automating the inspection process, manufacturers can ensure that only high-quality products reach the market, reducing waste and enhancing customer satisfaction. 2. Predictive Maintenance : ML models can analyze sensor data from manufacturing equipment to predict when maintenance is needed. By detecting potential issues before they cause equipment failure, manufacturers can minimize downtime and reduce repair costs. 3. Supply Chain Optimization : ML algorithms can analyze historical data on raw material prices, demand forecasts, and production schedules to optimize inventory management and procurement decisions. This helps minimize...

Elon Musk says we could make Mars habitable with thermonuclear bomb

On Wednesday night, SpaceX and Tesla founder Elon Musk appeared on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert and announced that the speediest way to terraform Mars and allow humans to live outside of an airlock dome would be to nuke it. "The fast way is to drop thermonuclear weapons over the poles," Musk told Colbert, prompting the host to call him a super villain. But is the idea that crazy? The basis of the bomb plot is that the nukes would melt the frozen CO2 on the Red Planet's poles, releasing it as gas into the atmosphere. This would help to thicken up the Red Planet's thin atmosphere, which could be enough to heat the planet and allow water to exist in a liquid form. Essentially, the bombs would kick-start something similar to the global warming that's happening here on Earth, and hopefully trigger a cascade effect - so the more ice that melts, the more CO2 that's released, which warms the planet and melts more ice, and so on. However, there are some...

Telescopic Contact Lens For Visually Impaired People

See far distance just by winking your eyes. A team of engineers have designed a telescopic contact lens that can switch between normal and magnefied vision.  The Researchers at  San Jose, California has built a prototype pf lens that could one day help people with visual impairment  to see. The lenses might be particularly useful with age-related macular degeneration, a debilitating condition in which people gradually lose their central vision. It is the leading cause of visual impairment and affect millions worldwide. The contact lens developed by Ford’s team is one millimeter thick. Researchers used aluminum mirrors, fit tightly together, to create a ring-shaped telescope embedded in the contact lens. The center of the lens allows for normal, non-magnified vision.  Its periphery, where the telescope is located, magnifies images 2.8 times. Switching between normal and magnefied vision Without the glasses, the contact lenses superimpose both normal and magn...
