The Fermi Paradox

Hey guys let me introduce you to the paradox known as fermi paradox.

The Fermi Paradox is named after physicist Enrico Fermi and is often used by skeptics to "prove" that either intelligent alien life doesn't exist or that we are unable to communicate with it.



What Is The Fermi Paradox?

The paradox is that if advanced extraterrestrial civilisations exist, as many believe, then we should have encountered evidence of them by now. Yet we have no such conclusive evidence, merely ambiguous and controversial UFO sightings. As Fermi is reported to have asked: Where are they?

Solutions

The paradox rests on two assumptions: 1) advanced alien life exists and 2) we have not encountered it. The easiest way to resolve the paradox is thus to challenge these assumptions. Either : Alien Life Does Not Exist
This is probably the most depressing option. Either our ideas of the universe are wrong and we are a lone freak of the cosmos, or alien life has evolved elsewhere but it's the nature of intelligent life to quickly destroy itself.

OR                                                                            




We Have Encountered Alien Life
Some people suggest that alien life does exist and we have encountered it - but it is so different to us that we simply haven't recognised it. The aliens are so alien that we simply don't recognise them as life forms. Perhaps they haven't recognised us either.
These two solutions to the paradox lead some people to conclude that humanity will remain alone in the universe forever, a rather depressing thought. Fortunately there are also more positive resolutions of the Fermi paradox that seek to exlain why intelligent life hasn't contacted us yet. Personally I prefer to think that one of these is correct.


So until and unless we are able to find life on other planets , the fermi paradox wil prevail .

About upcoming posts . . .

Wel folks its about time that i let you all know my interest in the field of science and technlogy.

Life Paradox: The future of podcasting

The future of podcasting

Hey guys !
As many of you would hav already been listening to the podcasts , I want to write more uses of it in the upcoming future.


First of all let me tel who what exactly podcastin is - Podcasting is a word made famous by the Apple ipod. The original term was webcasting. Podcasts are radio shows or other audio programs availabel for download over internet. The maker of a podcast , called a podcaster ,often updates their podcasts with a series of episodes you can subscribe to .


One can easily download podcasts to their mobile phones via accesing the internet n listen to them or watch them later .


The applications of podcasting are being continuously upgraded and growth of future applications will continue to develop the well as. A podcast in the future could be educational institutions, through which the media provide comprehensive support for the student presentation, print it in dealing with technology and. Essentially, podcasting, a student could useMedia as a learning tool. It would also communicate to students the material with self-diagnosis for their understanding, or even so they need a podcast software related to the test by test.


                                                        

Consider what podcasting is for a moment.
+ Audio or video
+ Consume on demand
+ Subscription based for push delivery
+ Some level of interactivity with content producers

These features give podcasting unique advantages and disadvantages. For example, podcasting is NOT a wonderful platform for delivering anything time-sensitive, because you don’t know when someone will tune in. Podcasting stinks at clickstream, because it’s very difficult to track where a user came from unless you’ve bought and exclusively use domain names just for people to remember.
Podcasting is terrific at delivering a lot of information in alternate formats. For people who prefer to listen or watch instead of read, or who listen at certain times of the day (on a commute, for example), podcasting is a perfect way for them to get content they want.

As technology continues to grow, it will be interesting to see what to ultimately replace Podcasting – you can bet that will happen, it's just a matter of time. Till then , happy podcasting !

BIGGEST LIFE PARADOX : How to Spend Money Wisely

Before I start to write on this topic . . .I would like you all to ask yourself a question. Do you people end up saving the amount of money you thought you would be saving when you get your salaries or in my case pocketmoney ??


Wel my answer is no ! :(

I am asking you this because everyone can spend money . . .but its only a few who got the "skills" to spend it wisely.

Let me tell you some people some ways to spend money wisely . . .

  • Find clothes on sale : Always look out for items on sale . There are end-of-season sales in almost every apparel store be it branded or non-branded.
  • Find versatile footwear  :Buy a pair of flip flops either black or white because they match with everything and a pair of nice going-out shoes.
  •  Avoid splurging too much at once : If you go out to the movies, for example, don't buy movie theatre snacks. Instead, after the theatre, get a somthing from a store nearby.
  • Accessorize : Accessories are costly sometimes but one can always look out for cheap accesories at their local markets. And if you wanna get really creative, make your own purses, bags, wallets, and cell phone and ipod cases by crocheting and knitting.
  • Do not get a credit card unless you are under deadly circumstances : A credit card just tempts you to splurge out.
  • Compile a list of what you need, and what you want : Budget for it so that when your salary/pocketmoney comes in, you can buy what is on the list. Don't buy anything that is not on the list, though include food, clothes, and extras.
  • Treat yourself when you have saved a lot of money : Instead of buying that expensive watch , you bought the cheaper one and saved yourself a few bucks! Celebrate by going out for coffee with a friend :)
  • Ask for a pay/pocketmoney raise if you feel you deserve one : Tell your boss/parents why you think you deserve one, and reason fairly.
  • Know when to limit yourself : For instance if you are a magazine obssessed person and you buy 10 magazines each month, stop! Choose one or two of your favorite magazines and subscribe to them for a year.
  • Don't go out and spend all of your money at the pub, drinking : It is such a waste. Limit yourself to a couple of drinks or no drinks per week. Or you can just quit drinking altogether. It will save you a lot of money. And possibly your life.
  • Go through all of your old stuff, sort out a section that you don't want and sell it : Auction off stuff on eBay or sites like that . . .Instant cash !
  • Avoid borrowing money : It adds up to the cost. You really want something , put it on a list, and get it next month.
AND LASTLY
Don't spend any money on thing useless, save up for those things that are important!!

If you follow the above things . . .you might end up saving a few bucks at the end of the month. I am trying to follow these steps , will tell you the results at the end of the month !

GOOD LUCK FELLAS . .!!

How Women Use Social Media

A Happy International women's day people !

With the day about to end . . .here I am bloggin about a post on women on this day . . .


Social media sites are having a powerful effect on our lives. It’s important for marketers to understand how people use social networks, and Ethan Bloch of Flowtown has created a great infographic that shows how women leverage the social Web, which sites they use, and how much/why they participate.
Women are online and interacting on social sites just as much — if not, more — than their male counterparts. More than half of all American women participate in social media at least once a week, and younger women use it the most.

Takeaways:

  • 53% of adult females use social media at least on a weekly basis.
  • Their top interests are entertainment, food, health/wellness, and recipes/cooking. Fashion/beauty/shopping comes in fifth.
  • 34% of women use social networks to get information, while 20% of women are looking for advice and recommendations.
