THE EDIBLE WATER BOTTLE !!!!

Image
       Yes, this really is an edible water bottle. Or in other words, we can say 'The Future of Water Bottles'. As we all know the use of plastic containers for carrying water is a major issue nowadays. The plastic containers are causing a great threat to our environment. The plastic containers take almost 700 years to decompose. In 2009 report almost 30 billion water bottles were discarded in the US alone. Out of that, only 7% was recycled. Most of Such wastes end up in the oceans. One of the most Shocking fact!! is that to make one water bottle you need 7 litres of water and  162 centilitres of oil. Also, the 90% of the cost of the water bottle is for the bottle, not the water. The use of plastic bottles is increasing 10 % per year.      The people who have come up with this idea are some Design Engineers from Spain. IT IS CALLED "OOHO!". This is an edible water bottle. This is basically a  membrane which can encapsulate water. The use of the membrane

WHAT IF EVERYONE ON EARTH JUMPED AT ONCE ?

So you might be wondering what would happen if everyone on earth jumped at the exact same time. Will it cause an earthquake? or Will it not make any difference?.  Well, what if more than 7 billion of us gathered in one place and jumped. What would that even look like? Interestingly if the all of us gathered in one place standing shoulder to shoulder you could fit all of us in the city of Los Angeles. So what if we jump like that.  Unfortunately Nothing much would happen. I mean our collective mass compared to the mass of the earth is nothing.  But by jumping like this we would push Earth away from us a tiny amount. That is one hundredth of a single hydrogen atom. But another thing is when we land back on earth from where we started the Earth would just move back from where it started. So our big jump will not be able to change the position of the earth. But we also cannot say it would not make any difference. So will it cause an earthquake? BBC once did this with 50,000 peo

Can You Sent Taste Through The Internet..?

     You can't believe it right...?? Actually, you can. Now you can exchange your taste through the internet. Researchers from Singapore National University did such a groundbreaking invention. The taste and color of lemonade collected using electrodes and sensors were sent through the internet using digital tumblers. The tumblers LED gave color to the lemonade and the electrodes generated the sour taste. People always shares the picture of the drinks they drink on social medias. The mindset of also sharing the taste of what they drink inspired the researchers to invent this. According to the researchers, the lemonade generated by the tumbler has a bit less sour taste than the original lemonade. Anyway, the future of sharing the taste, smell and color of the food we eat is coming soon. HOW DOES THIS WORK? Color and Acidity sensors capture data  of the real lemonades color and acidity. The information was then uploaded to the  recipient's digital tumbler that w
