THE HOME OF FANTASY!

  Follow @AlviSaying Follow @AlviSaying   TRIPLE TEE TALES 1. Tree House Memories ”I could only hear the sound of three things, the ticking of the dusted clock, the spinning of the rusty fan, and the beating of my timid heart. And right when the door opened, I. . . . .” It was a damp day just like the ones on which I stayed at home and played chess with my father. I was with my brother and his wife (who I didn’t like much because she always tried to create a distance between my parents and my brother) at the time, since my parents had passed out a few months ago. My father died of a heart attack during a fight with sister-in-law for she misbehaved with my Mom (I don’t quite remember what it was about as I was a little kid back then). My mother, not being able to bear the pain, drank poison. It was a lot to go through being a seven year old. That evening, my brother had arranged an evening barbeque event on our backyard on celebration of my departure to The U.K. Our bac...

REASONS FOR BEING DIFFERENT: 1. THE 2ND BRIGHTEST OBJECT:   Venus was named after the goddess of love and beauty. Keeping with its feminine glamour, the International Astronomical Union (the governing body for naming planets and satellites) decided the orb's topographic features would be named after both real and mythological ladies from across the globe. 2. VENUS IS SURELY THE HOTTEST: It's even hotter than Mercury. Amazed? Huh?  Venus's a lot further from the Sun, orbiting at a distance of more than 108 million kilometers. Average temperature there is a hellish 735 Kelvin, or 462 degrees Celsius – hot enough to melt lead.  Venus is still that same temperature no matter where you go on the planet.   -Atmosphere of Venus  At the North Pole? 735 Kelvin. At night? 735 Kelvin. Daytime at the equator? You get the point. 3. DIFFERENT SURFACE:  The surface of Venus is rather smooth in many places, though not nearly as smooth as originally expected . ...

Follow @AlviSaying       FIFTEEN years old Astronaut Abby fuels her outreach mission with social media. "Astronaut Abby" is at the controls of a social-media machine that is launching the 15-year-old from Minnesota to Kazakhstan this month for the liftoff of the International Space Station's next crew — and if Facebook and Twitter count for anything, it just might get her to Mars someday. Abigail Harrison says she's always dreamed of being the first astronaut to set foot on the Red Planet, and she sees her campaign to get involved in space station outreach as one giant leap toward that target.  She has enlisted one of the crew members, Italian astronaut Luca Parmitano, as her mentor and orbital pen pal. Her Rockethub crowdfunding campaign has passed the $20,000 mark and is shooting for a goal of $35,000 for travel and outreach. As the May 28 date for Parmitano's launch approaches, she's juggling radio interviews, Facebook updates, Twitter thank-you...

Follow @AlviSaying I’m in Dhaka, Bangladesh, for just the second time, almost exactly one year after my first visit, but things are eerily different. The drive from Dhaka International—which, in contrast, has stubbornly resisted the slightest evolution—is idyllic, which in Dhaka, the world’s most densely populated city, suggests the post-apocalyptic. The main thoroughfare leading into the city from the airport is almost deserted. A CNG—the ubiquitous three-wheeled motorcycle taxi converted to run on compressed natural gas—driver clutches his wheel with a death grip, cigarette wilting between his index and middle fingers: he’s never been able to drive anywhere this fast. It’s the thin silver lining of Hartal, an eighty-four-hour strike called by opposition party Jamaat-e-Islami, a countrywide protest punctuated by violence against those who fail to observe its shutdown. Today is the third day of Hartal, and the newspaper headlines are about the arson of a public bus, which severely ...

Hello, Here we can see some quotes about science and quotes about research by some famous people. 1. "Research is what I'm doing when I don't know what I'm doing." - Wernher von Braun  2. "Science cannot solve all the problems of man. We should turn back to the holy rosary and gain access to divine solutions." - Muttakin Rashid Alvi 3."There is a single light of science, and to brighten it anywhere is to brighten it everywhere." - Isaac Asimov 4.“If we knew what it was we were doing, it would not be called research, would it?” - Albert Einstein 5."Science is simply too young to be understood" - Dan Brown 6. "If miracles had chemical equations then everyone would believe.”  - Cecelia Ahern 7. "A scientific truth does not triumph by convincing its opponents and making them see the light, but rather because its opponents eventually die and a new generation grows up that is familiar with it." - Max Planck...
