Hiroshima and Nagasaki bombing
A five-ton atomic bomb was dropped over Hiroshima, Japan, by an American B-29. An estimated 70,000 individuals were instantly killed by the bomb’s blast. The exact number of people who ultimately perished as a result of radiation sickness and bomb-related injuries is still up for debate, although it is safe to assume that the total number of fatalities exceeded 100,000 and possibly even 200,000.
Despite the enormous damage that the American military did on Nagasaki and Hiroshima on August 9, 1945, Japan and its wartime foe soon became friendly and productive partners. This connection has persisted to this day. Japan’s citizens consider America to be their country’s finest economic and military friend today.
Rebuilding friendship during the Cold War
The foundations of the strong friendship were laid during the immediate post-war years. The majority of the Japanese people, who were tired from the prolonged years of suffering during the war, applauded the decision to keep the imperial house and reject punitive compensations. However, American leadership actively worked to promote a positive impression of the country and turn Japan into a reliable democratic partner as the Cold War loomed.
Because of its enormous post-war wealth, America was able to lavishly donate money to reconstruct Japan; as a result, the Rockefeller Foundation, American Cultural Centers, and other organizations significantly donated to cultural and educational institutions like major universities and the media. This improved Japanese people’s perceptions of the United States.
In return USA was able to make Japan as a reliable ally to resist Russia during cold war time. So, United States could use its facilities in Japan to assist military operations elsewhere in Asia, import any weapons it desired into Japan, including H-bombs, and even deploy its forces to help the Japanese government quell internal unrest.
That’s how the USA succeeded to rebuild its relationship with Japan.
See lessWhy is blue considered the colour of boys ?
It was the other way before the 1950s, pink for boys because pink is a more decided & stronger colour and is more suitable for the boys.

It was the other way before the 1950s, pink for boys because pink is a more decided & stronger colour and is more suitable for the boys. Blue, which is more delicate and dainty, is prettier for the girls.
In 1927 Time magazine’s sex-appropriate colour survey showed pink was the most appropriate colour for boys.
All these concepts were flipped in the 1950s, after World War 2 as Blue for boys & Pink for girls. Because blue was used extensively for men’s uniforms. This is the same period mass marketing appeared and pink was pushed as a women’s colour.
This chain of events leads to the new trend, so we cannot point out a particular event which leads to it. To make it more complicated there is a nazi influence too.
During the nazi period Jews were forced to wear yellow stars, and gay men were forced to wear pink triangles. Soldiers who returned home after the war didn’t want their boys to wear pink because it is associated with being gay.
So that’s how the blue for boys idea gets into our head.

The reality is pink was not a girly colour until 1953. A particular event was the starting point for this paradigm shift in the fashion world.
‘ Dwight Eisenhower’s presidential inauguration (USA)’ in 1953.
Mamie Eisenhower, the new first lady entered the inaugural ball in a pink attire, which was her favourite colour. Powerful people make history, and the same happened here. All media and fashion designers then started to showcase pink as the colour of women.
That’s the story of the pink colour.

See lessWhy does a current flow from positive to negative?
Electric current is the rate of flow of charge, this charge can be -ve (like electrons) or +ve. Electric current = Q/t ( q is charge and t is time ) There are two types of electric currents we usually use, one is conventional (based on +ve charged particles ) and the other is electronic( based on elRead more
Electric current is the rate of flow of charge, this charge can be -ve (like electrons) or +ve.
Electric current = Q/t ( q is charge and t is time )
There are two types of electric currents we usually use, one is conventional (based on +ve charged particles ) and the other is electronic( based on electrons ). The conventional current was in use way before the electron was invented.
Since we have been using conventional current for a long time before the invention of electrons, it stayed in some areas of physics. The battery is one of them, that’s why we took it as current is flowing from +ve to -ve in batteries.
Extra note: We sometimes call the flow of water ‘water current’. So current is not just about electrons.

Aeroplane works based on Newton’s 3rd law of motion, but in the case of Gliders, there is no engine at all. Then how does it flies? the answer is an engineering & aerodynamic design.
We all know that even if an aeroplane engine fails, it can fly/glide for a few more distances. That is made possible by taking the advantage of the altitude it already attained. We call it to glide ratio.
The glide ratio of Boeing 747-200 is 15:1 i.e. at 1km height it can glide up to 15kms.
Glider designers took the advantage of this ratio, so they designed gliders with minimum drag & weight so they can attain a glide ratio of 70:1 i.e. gliders can travel up to 70kms from an altitude of 1kms.
But to attain that height gliders need the help of another aeroplane or it needs to be launched from a hilltop.
Gliders are designed in the best aerodynamic way to attain maximum efficiency.

See lessWhat is the difference between voltage and current ?
Consider the example of two waterfalls of the same height, one with less water flowing and the other with large water content. Can we say both are the same? no the amount of water is different. So the amount of charge flowing in a circuit is called current. The charge can be -ve i.e. electron or +veRead more

So the amount of charge flowing in a circuit is called current. The charge can be -ve i.e. electron or +ve i.e. holes.
Let’s go back to the two waterfalls. imagine the amount of water is the same in both falls, but at a different height. i.e. the potential difference between top and bottom is different. potential difference is also called voltage.

The first thing to keep in our mind is that the magnetic force because of the magnetic field is present around the bar magnet. These field lines are directed from N to S pole direction.

The first thing to keep in our mind is that the magnetic force because of the magnetic field is present around the bar magnet. These field lines are directed from N to S pole direction.
Now refer to the image, Here you can see the magnetic field lines from the N poles of the two magnets are colliding head to head with each other. So these field lines are hitting each other way before the magnets physically touch each other.
Same for the opposite poles, they attract each other before they hit. Hope it helped.

First of all the story is happening around 1665 and the second character in the story is an apple, the apple’s inability to give a press conference on the incident also makes it hard to find the truth. But based on the articles and online forums we can satisfy with the following.
The story is like this, Newton was sitting under an apple tree when he was hit on the head by a falling apple which prompted him to suddenly come up with his law of gravity. In reality, the story didn’t go quite like that.
Newton entered Cambridge University in 1661. 4 years later school was hit by bubonic plague and was closed temporarily. This made Newton move back to his home. During this period he observed an apple fall from a tree. There is no evidence of an apple hitting on his head.
Teachers have been spreading the story ever since because this way learning physics is much cooler than the conventional ways.
Anyway, this story exploded to become the most known story in science like Thomas Alva Edison’s egg story. Is Edison’s story real? That’s the topic for another question.
