The word “habit” sounds ordinary, and it may also remind you of all those poems from preschool about waking up early, being neat and clean, making your bed, etc. however, this word masks the depth of its concept. We have never really tried to discover its dimensions. So now the question is, What is the truth of this word? What is it based on?. Habits are seen in all living organisms like snakes following the same path and ants walking in a straight line, and birds going back to their nests after sunset. Every organism follows a pattern, then what makes humans so special? The fact that we can develop new habits is the biggest superpower. But as we know, with great power comes great responsibility. This ability to develop habits makes it complicated, so to make it easier to decipher, it is further classified into two categories, ‘good ‘and’ bad’. Good habits can make you successful, triumphant, and profitable, but bad habits can bring you down to nothing, a void, or the end. Studies show...

Raining animals are seen in countries like Spain, France, India, Ethiopia, Singapore, and the United States. In Honduras, the phenomenon of it raining fish is a yearly occurrence. It is called “Lluvia de Peces.” The small town of Yoro has this happen once and sometimes twice a year. EXPLANATION – Scientific Explanation- The reason for this odd occurrence is that strong air disturbances, such as tornadoes can lift water and fish up into the air. Then, the tornado can carry them for some distance. When the tornado becomes weaker, its energy cannot hold objects up off the ground any longer, and it begins to rain fish. This can also be referred to as “animal rainfall,” but often, the event is simply described as “raining fish.” A tornado is a very strong wind that twists around itself. The inside of the tornado, known a...

1. Christopher Nolan has said that the snow-based third-level dream was inspired by his favorite James Bond film on her Majesty's Secret Service.  2. The slow, gloomy, blaring trombones in the main theme of the film score are actually based on an extremely slowed down version of fast,  high pitched trumpets at the beginning of the Édith Piaf song "Non je ne regrette rien" Which is used as a plot device in the film. Furthermore, when music is heard by someone who's currently within a dream, music is perceived as slowed down. Thus the main theme of the film score is almost exactly what the beginning "Non je ne regrette rien" would sound like to a dreamer. This Thematic device is brought to its logical conclusion when the song plays at end of credits. Signaling that the audience is about to wake up from the film.  3. Joseph Gorden-Levitt went to his audition after a brief character summary, wearing a full suit "just in case" unknowingly matching his c...

Water made life possible on Earth. Here are some interesting facts about water that you may or may not know : ● Hot water freezes faster than cold water. The Mpemba effect is the name given to this observation. It states that there exists a set of initial parameters, and a pair of temperatures, such that given two bodies of water identical in these parameters, and differing only in initial uniform temperatures, the hot one will freeze sooner. The hot water cools faster because of the bigger difference in temperature between the water and the freezer, and this helps it reach its freezing point before the cold water reaches its natural freezing point, which is at least 5°C lower. Also, all the conditions must be controlled, such as the location of the samples in the freezer, and ...
