The Universe In A Year--Cosmic Calender

Have You Ever Imagined The Entire History Of Universe Right From The Moment Time Does'nt Exist ,The Big Bang To Last Second You Blink Being Compressed Into A Year !!

Seems Quite Amazing Relative To This Time Line Everything That Happened Over Last Few Decades takes Place In Less than the Last Milli Second of the last Minute Of The Year.This Theory Was Called "Cosmic Calender".

The Cosmic Calendar is a scale in which the 13.7 billion year lifetime of the universe is mapped onto a single year. At this scale the Big Bang took place on January 1 at midnight, and the current time is mapped to December 31 at midnight.Under This Scale The Galaxies Were Formed Over Nine Months And earth Inception  Takes Place In September.All Human History is Accounted In Last Five minutes Of the Last day Of The Year.So Realtive To this Scale The Life Time Of A man Is just a Few Milli Seconds.Certain Of The Greatest Events In History of man Kind Like The Construction Of Pyramids Took Place at Dec 31 Dec 11:59:50.487 Pm And Word war II In 11:59:59:974 Pm 

 At this scale, there are 434 years per second, 1.57 million years per hour, and 37.7 million years per day. 

This Concept Of Cosmic Calender Was Given By American Astronomer Late Carl Sagan In His Book "The Dragons of Eden" To Help out The People In Understanding The Timeline Of Universe.

Lasers drag tractor beams from sci-fi to sci-possible

A Week After The Invention of a Worlds First Anti laser,a device that absorbs, rather than emits,a beam of light.Scientists Have Successfully Demonstrated The Possibility of Tractor Beam In Future.
Tractor Beam is a Term Familiar To Those Who Are Fans of Science Fiction Movies Like Star Trek And Star War and Even In Austin Powers.
All Those Catchy intresting Concepts of Science Fiction Are more Likely To be Real soon Like Warp Effect,Anti laser ,Antimatter,Teleportation And Now the Star Trek Iconic Concept of Gravitational Beaming Of Objects "Tractor Beam"
Its Not A Thing To us ,Scientists are carrying out on this Things From Decaes And They Are Working on  Every Single of possibility of Turning of Our Science Fiction Things Into Reality .Tractor Beam is Very Famous For its Usage in Star Trek the starship Enterprise often dragged objects towards it with its glowing tractor beam.
Now There Is Every Possibility of Having This In Reality .But It May be Take a Decade To get into Play.

So What is A Tractor Beam And How It Drags The objects

A tractor beam is a device with the ability to attract one object to another from a distance. Since the 1990's, technology and research has labored to make it a reality, mostly at microscopic level. Less commonly, a similar beam that repels is called a pressor beam or repulsor beam. Gravity impulse and gravity propulsion beams are areas of research from fringe physics that coincide with the concepts of tractor and repulsor beams.

When light falls on an opaque object, the surface reflects most of the photons back in the direction they came from. What's less obvious is that these bouncing photons push back on the object, causing it to move away from the light source. If the object is very small, this push can be significant. But this is the exact opposite of the suction-like behaviour of tractor beams in science fiction.

Now Jun Chen of Fudan University in Shanghai, China, and colleagues, have shown that it is possible to create exotic beams that would pull rather than push on an object. For tiny particles with dimensions of a thousandth of a millimetre or so, this would result in the particle being drawn back towards the beam.

These Latest Advacnements Proves That The Future is Of "Lasers" And Likely To Live In The World Of Science Fiction  Movies.

World's Smallest Computer Created

A Major Advancement In Computing Industry which shows That The Future computing(Qunatum Computing ) is soon Likely to be Real In Few Years.
Scientists have created the world's smallest computer that is just one square millimetres in size Which Is Hardly visible To eye and can fit into one's eyeball .
It was developed by a team at the university of michigan the tiny device is a pressure monitor that can treat glaucoma,a Chronic Eye Disorder.

It May Look Like A Small,As A proverb Says Never Decide By ones Size,It Contains An Ultra low-Power Microprocessor,A Pressure Sensor,Certain Amount Of Persistent Memory,a Thin Battery,a Solar Cell and a Wireless Radio With an Antenna That Can Trasmit Data To Other Devices.

To keep the battery charged, it requires exposure to ten hours of indoor light each day or 1.5 hours of sunlight. It can store up to a week's worth of information.

One  These Liliputian computers  could track pollution, monitor structural integrity, perform surveillance, or make virtually any object smart and traceable.

 What Makes More Fascianting About The Device is automatically links Up With other computers to form wireless sensor networks is a compact radio that needs no tuning to find the right frequency.Well In that Case With improved Wireless Technology We Could Keep A Gps Tracker In it and Attach to Some One To know Their  Location Secretly.Oh It Can be Used For Spying !! Or Simply Attach To Our Briefcase In case If we Lost it ,We Can Track It Down.

Sad Thing Is I Cant Play Cod,Warcraft on that,My fingers Are Too big For it :)
It Takes Few More Years To Get Into Commercial use ,But what Makes sure With This Device That We are Forwarding Into Future Computing Where The Computers Are Embedded Into body Or a microscopic Or Driven By atoms ,Atomic Computers.

'Anti-laser' built for first time

Two Scientists of Yale university Have Created The World's First Anti Laser,a device that absorbs, rather than emits,a beam of light unlike The conventional Laser Which Emits The coherent Beam of Light In only One Direction.The concept was first published in the July 26, 2010, issue of Physical Review Letters, by a team at Yale University led by theorist A. Douglas Stone.From Then Attempts Are progessed in A Way to Create Antilaser.

Antilaser Works In Exact Opposite of Laser it absorbs and light and forces them to move until their energy vanishes.In a laser, energy is pumped into a medium — which can be a solid, liquid or gas — between two mirrors, stimulating the emission of photons that are coherent, or of the same frequency and phase. The photons reflect back and forth between the mirrors, resulting in amplification of the light.

An anti-laser uses mirrors, too, but the other components are the reverse of a laser. The medium that provides amplification is replaced with one that provides absorption, and the outgoing light beam is replaced with an incoming one.

The device focuses two lasers beams of a specific frequency into a specially designed optical cavity made from silicon, which traps the incoming beams of light and forces them to bounce around until all their energy is dissipated.

In a paper published in the journal Science they demonstrated that the anti-laser could adsorb 99.4 per cent of incoming light, for a specific wavelength.

This Turns to be a Significant Invention which would be a major advantage for Computing Because it is built using silicon.This Could be A Path for Future Generation of computing Called optical Computing ,We can Build Super computers using light instead of High level present computing replacing electrons .It can also be used In Radiology for treating of Cancer to concentrate  to a small region within normally opaque human tissue.
Anti-lasers could be used to modulate the intensity of that light, or to convert light signals into electrical form for on-chip processing, the researchers say.Anti Lasers can Alos Be used In Defence  .
Well Apart From these It could become a part of Future of  Science Fiction movies,The Hero May counter Attack The Bad Guys with Anitlaser.

Lasers have also become a fascination of many television shows and movies.We Have Seen Movies Of James Bond,Batman that Have dealt with lasers.Even an Episode In Bigbang theory ,a group of guys who work in physics at a university in California, make a machine to shoot a laser and reflect it off the moon. Its Time For Antilaser To Take over the screen.
Now batman Has got Another Weapon in his sack of Weapons.It would Be Exciting for movie buffs To watch this on screen
