Inventions and discoveries! As school children, the difference of meaning between these two terms was literally dinned in to our heads, right? James Watt invented the steam engine, while Columbus discovered America, and beyond. That is the example we had to remember.
The present times, too, are full of inventions and discoveries. Let us today look at two truly radical ones. Let us begin with 'invention' as it is a great tribute to human imagination, creativity and intellect.
How about the possibility of things getting invisible? YES, our very own Indian scientists have made it possible. At the IIT, Kanpur is perfected a polymer that can render invisible things coated with it. This polymer, moreover, is made of absolutely local ingredients. Most interestingly, it is going to be used by the Indian army and it is an msme type of industrial unit that has already begun producing it for the aviation wing of our army.
Now, the discovery bit. Apparently, the 'Atlantis' is finally found. In Iceland, it is discovered that the Atlantic and the European tectonic plates are still united. That is to say, deep down America and Europe are still connected as one tectonic plate. Culturally, Europe always looks down upon the brash America which prides itself on its own vibrant energy. Well, surface differences are only a few nautical miles deep!
Well, let us end the truly enlightening blog today via the Greta Thunberg mode, that is rendering a quite relevant fact the environmentally chic way. Well, British scientists have discovered that an ice wall, ten times the size of Britain, has collapsed. In a way, it is due to underwater currents whose temperature is the result of climate change due to human interference. The sea water levels would hence be affected, resulting in a huge danger for the coastal cities. Tiny islands are already getting submerged anyways!
Human beings can create as well as destroy. Hope the human race chooses wisely!
Pratima@ Human beings can create heaven, but can also render heaven in to hell! Hope human beings wake up on time!
