Science


Science is interesting in its own essence but we find it difficult and typical. If we let our curiosity take the lead and act as our motivation then science can be fun and full of wonder. Let me tell you about some hidden truths of science and its fascinating world.
We think that humans are the brainiest creatures on the planet but you’d be delighted to know that there are several other species like Dolphins which use a greater capacity of their brains than humans. Dolphins use ultrasonic waves to detect other Dolphins nearby.

Elephants can hear frequencies which are more minute than humans. Such frequencies are ultrasound and that is the reason why phones and cameras are not allowed near elephants. Vibrations emitted from phones can disturb them to such a level that they can create havoc.
Mosquitoes can see infrared radiations which humans cannot detect. Such radiations enable them to survive and escape threats in their external environment. It is because of this that we cannot kill them if we aren’t fast enough.

A woman’s heart beats faster than a man which keeps them at a greater risk to heart attacks and related diseases.
A human can survive on a diet of potatoes and butter as both have a complete set of nutrients that the body needs. It means that our notion that potatoes only contain fat is false and baseless.
Humans can survive up to weeks without eating but only for 11 weeks without sleeping. It clearly shows how dangerous insomnia is and the amount of disruption it can bring into someone’s life.
When one sleeps less then they crave for more food. The similar effect is that of dehydration. Hunger depends both upon sleep and water intake.

These simple facts can help us in so many practical ways. It can help us make sense of so many behaviors and phenomenons.

Gene is a hereditary unit which is transferred from parent to off spring and is responsible for determination of some characteristics of offspring’s. The technique was first developed in 1972 but has, so far, had limited success in treating human diseases. Gene therapy is a technique which uses genes to prevent or treat the disease. This is an experimental technique, which in future, is expected to allow doctors to treat disease/disorder by introducing a gene into the cell of patient instead of drugs and surgery. Gene is made up of DNA. When a new DNA is introduced into the cell of patient to treat a genetic disorders the technique is called gene therapy.   Diseases are mostly caused by disease-causing mutated genes, usually new DNA contains a functional gene to correct the effect of mutation caused by mutated gene. The DNA is selected carefully to correct the disease causing gene. Gene therapy is a topic of interest now a days, as many research approaches are testing includi...

GURMARG EDUCATION IDEA

The objective of education is to relate it to the life, needs and aspirations of the people and thereby make it the powerful instrument of social, economic and cultural transformation necessary for the realization of the national goals. Education is cardinal in inculcating values, to provide skills and competencies for the citizens, and in enabling them to contribute to the nation’s well-being; strengthens democracy by empowering citizens; acts as a cohesive force in society, and fosters national identity .
