AIB : ALL INDIA BAKCHOD

Image
        AIB (All India Bakchod)                           -AACHAL BURANDE All India Bakchod usually abbreviated and referred to as AIB is an Indian comedy group. The group was initially founded by Gursimran Khamba and Tanmay Bhat and was later joined by Rohan Joshi and Ashish Shakya. All four members are equal owners of the group. The group maintains a YouTube channel  that shows their comedy sketches and parodies on topics such as politics, society, and the Hindi film industry, and much of their reputation was founded on their online presence. Initially, the group produced podcasts, before using YouTube in 2013 as a medium to share their comedic work. Joshi had noted that the reason for their use of YouTube was that they simply did not have funds for advertisements and other promotional materials, and instead relied upon social media to promote their work. As of March 2015, the group has amassed over 100 million views on their videos and has 2 million subscrib

      Jacques Dobochet                                   -AACHAL BURANDE               The 2017 Nobel Prize in Chemistry was awarded to Jacques Dubochet, Joachim Frank & Richard Henderson for developing cryo-electron (Cryo-EM) microscopy for the high-resolution structure determination of biomolecules in solution.            The work essentially deals with capturing extremely high-resolution images of a biomolecules. One of the applications of the three technology will be in medicine in health. In awarding the three the Nobel Prize in Chemistry, the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences said that th The Cryo-EM method makes it possible to portray biomolecules in a 3D form after freezing them very fast. The method does so in a way that the biomolecules are preserved in their natural shape. The three's work has also led to an improvement in the electron microscope's resolution. Due to their work, electron microscopes are now able to visualise proteins at atomi

He is regarded as the founder of single-particle cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) , for which he shared the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 2017 with Jacques Dubochet and Richard Henderson.He also made significant contributions to structure and function of the ribosome from bacteria and eukaryot In 1975 Frank was offered a position of Senior Research Scientist in the Division of Laboratories and Research (now Wadsworth Center), New York State Department of Health , where he started working on single-particle approaches in electron microscopy. In 1985 he was appointed Associate and then (1986) Full Professor at the newly formed Department of Biomedical Sciences of the University at Albany, State University of New York.

       RAINER WEISS                                                                          -AACHAL BURANDE The 2017 Nobel Physics Prize was divided, one half awarded to Rainer Weiss, the other half jointly to Barry C. Barish and Kip S. Thorne “for decisive contributions to the LIGO detector and the observation of gravitational waves”. Ripples in the fabric of space-time, first predicted a century ago by Albert Einstein, sparked a revolution in astrophysics when their first detection was announced in early 2016. The teams involved in the discovery quickly emerged as favourites for the prize. “This is something completely new and different, opening up unseen worlds,” the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences said in a statement announcing the winners of the 9 million Swedish kroner ($1.1 million) award. “A wealth of discoveries awaits those who succeed in capturing the waves and interpreting their message.” Triggered when super-dense black holes merge, the waves were detec

      Kip s throne                                                      -AACHAL BURANDE   The American theoretical physicist Kip Stephen Thorn is very well-known for his many contributions to the study of astrophysics and gravitational physics. He is also well-known for having a hand in training a new generation of scientists. Kip S. Thorne was the Feynman Professor who taught Theoretical Physics at Caltech (California Institute of Technology) until the year 2009 and he is considered one of the foremost authorities on Einstein’s theory of relativity. As if all that isn’t impressive enough, he is also a close friend and a colleague of Carl Sagan and the Much of Thorne’s research has been focused on gravitation physics and relativistic astrophysics in general and he placed special focus on gravity, space, and time. However, he really is quite best-known for his theory that wormholes found in space can be used for time travel. This idea is quite controversial but has captu

        Sustainable energy                               -AACHAL BURANDE       Sustainable energy is a form of energy that meet our today’s demand of energy without putting them in danger of getting expired or depleted and can be used over and over again. Sustainable energy should be widely encouraged as it do not cause any harm to the environment and is available widely free of cost. All  renewable energy sources like solar, wind, geothermal, hydropower and ocean energy are sustainable as they are stable and available in plenty.             During ancient times, wood, timber and waste products were the only major  energy sources . In short,  biomass  was the only way to get energy. When more technology was developed, fossil fuels like  coal , oil and natural gas were discovered. Fossil fuels proved boom to the mankind as they were widely available and could be harnessed easily. When these fossil fuels were started using extensively by all the countries across the gl

CENSORSHIP IN INDIA

      Censorship in india                                                  -AACHAL BURANDE         The suppression or control of ideas, public communication and information circulated within a society is termed as censorship. The freedom of speech guaranteed by the Constitution of India can be suppressed if it is considered objectionable, harmful, or necessary to maintain communal harmony. Governments across the globe have used religious arguments as well as other powerful techniques and arguments to support for their censorship efforts. Offensive communication in the eyes of the government varies from country to country, religion to religion, even sect to sect. Many governments provide for certain limited protection against censorship. It is always necessary to balance conflicting rights in order to determine what can and cannot be censored. A classic example of censorship in India is the Central Board of Film Certification or Censor Board, which comes under the purvi

TELEGRAPH

        Telegraph                                                    -AACHAL BURANDE A telegraph is a communications system in which information is transmitted over a wire through a series of electrical  current  pulses, usually in the form of  Morse code . The basic components include a source of direct current, a length of wire or cable, and a current-indicating device such as a relay, buzzer, or light bulb. The term comes from the Greek words "tele," meaning "at a distance" and "graphien," meaning "to write.                  The telegraph has been in use for more than 150 years. The prototype of the telegraph was demonstrated by Joseph Henry in 1830. He transmitted an electric current over a length of wire approximately 1 mile (1.6 kilometer) in length to activate a bell on the opposite end of the circuit. This device was refined and developed by Samuel F. B. Morse into a system that used a  solenoid , equipped with a marker, to re
