How Hard Do You Have to Slap A Piece of Chicken to Cook It?

How Hard Do You Have to Slap A Piece of Chicken to Cook It? I don’t think  this question can answer by looking at how hard a piece of chicken must slap, but how fast to slap it? To solve this, let two assumptions be made: The law of conservation of momentum and a total elastic collision where all energy is transferred to the chicken from kinetic to thermal energy. Let us take the following into consideration: Specific heat capacity of chicken: 1.77 kJ/kg K = 1770 J/kg K Mass of Chicken = 1 kg Mass of an average hand (male): 0.65 kg Standard temperature: 25 C Internal Temperature to Cook a Chicken: 74 C Now, with all the variables in hand, the answer to the question can be found. (0.5) (Mass hand ) (speed squared) = (Mass Chicken ) (Specific heat Capacity Chicken ) (Change in Temperature) Speed squared = [(1) (1770) (74-25)]/ [(0.5) (0.65)] Speed = 516 m/s Or Speed = 1857.6 kmph or Speed = 1176.63 mph So, theoretically, if yo...

Time Travel - How to make a time machine!

Time Travel - How to make a time machine! Have you seen the movie Interstellar? If you have, the temporal continuance conveyed in the movie is theoretically true. Time travel is possible! However, a one-way ticket to the future can be bought and not to the past. According to Einstein’s theory of relativity, time dilation can occur in two forms: Velocity or Gravity. Suppose an individual moves at the speed of light. That individual bends the space-time curve by a factor of x. Let us take another individual who is stationary in space. He bends the space-time curve by a factor of y. The more the space-time curve bends, slower the flow of time. In this instance, x > y so, time moves slower for the person moving at the speed of light relative to the stationary observer. This is what you can call time travel as 1 minute for speed of light can be 1 year for the stationary person. Another possibility is gravity which is seen in interstellar. The higher gravitation you exp...

The Sum of All Positive Numbers Is A Negative Number- Heuristic (Infinity Manipulation) Method of Deriving the Ramanujan Summation!

Image
Please note that the famous Ramanujan Summation has three derivations: Heuristic (Infinity Manipulation), Zeta Function Regularisation and the Cutoff Regularisation. This article presents represents the  Heuristic (Infinity Manipulation)  of the summation and is simplified for understanding the power of infinity.

Controlled Unproductivity Can Lead To Increased Productivity!

Controlled Unproductivity Can Lead To Increased Productivity! Has anyone questioned why the work time is from 9-5? Well, that stems back to when labour rights came into the picture. When the rights came into practice, it was understood that there should be a balance between leisure, work, and sleep. Therefore, the 24-hour day was divided into 3 equals 8-hour segments. To achieve maximum efficiency, 9-5 was chosen to be the optimal period to ensure the highest level of productivity. However, this division of time has become outdated. Working 8 hours a day is not suffice and with the advent of social media, people have extended their leisure time by cutting down on sleep. Countless teenagers claim that they sleep close to 4-6 hours a day as they spend most of their time on social media platforms and are bound by midnight texting. Similar is the case with millennials but the problem is not as abysmal. Netflix, working from home and better transport, as well as improved human ri...

Teleportation – The Truth Behind The Conventional Idea!

Teleportation – The Truth Behind The Conventional Idea! When one thinks about teleportation, they think that we will disassemble from their location and reassembled at their destination. This is theoretically possible through the concept of quantum entanglement. Quantum entanglement is a spooky unexplained force that shows that two particles of matter are interrelated and can interact with each other instantly, regardless of the distance. Suppose we change one particle’s composition to that of one atom of a human body, its corresponding entangled particle will also change to that particle. Therefore, if we do this for each atom in the human body, we can conceptually, clone an individual anywhere in the observable universe. All that is left is to kill one of the clones and voila, we have teleportation. As said by Sheldon in Big Bang theory, I will not be stepping inside of that machine as it will just be a method of glorified suicide. A more realistic way of teleportation wh...

Predicting The Future

Predicting the Future In the contemporary world, physics and mathematics are used to predict the future. One such idea within the field of physics is Laplace’s demon. This theory states that if we know the position and motion of every particle in the universe, we can mathematically predict the future and precisely cite the past. What is interesting about this idea is its application. Suppose we create a defined environment such as our solar system and create Adam and Eve on Earth. We can fuel this by using the computing power form quantum computers due to qubits. If we let this simulate the birth of humanity and the rise of civilization, we can witness new discoveries and potential problems that we will encounter in the future. This will further research immensely and will, in turn, help humanity take one step closer to becoming a type 1 civilization – one that controls their native solar system.
