Infinate Universe

Hey,

So you probably have heard about this theory about how there are infinite number of universes. I think there is, but at the same time there aren't. What I mean is that there are going to be an infinite amount of universe outcomes. As I have said before in my Big Bang Theory, if you haven't read it Here a Link. Now what I do think is that there is one universe, and it goes into a circle of "life". It has a Big Bang, then is there for a long time, then starts to become old and unstable, collapses into another big bang causing a whole new universe. And this cycle goes on forever in a loop. I'm Not saying that there isn't another universe, or that the infinite universe theory is wrong. this is only a theory that I have, and I still do believe that other theories could be true. But judging by what technology we have, and how much about everything we don't know, I'm guessing that we will die before this can be proved.

Fingerprints

So, apparently the reason we have fingerprints is unknown. Scientists thought that it was to have better grip on dry stuff, but that has been proved wrong. So here we go.

Movement. That is the reason why. We grasp, grab, squeeze, hold, pinch, pull and do a lot of other things with our hands that require to move our hands. and your finger prints are so the skin can move closer or spread apart when we do something. Have you ever had a blister on you hand, and popped it? well, have you noticed how that skin feels when you pick something up. it feels weird. that is because the skin can't separate or "close"  as good as the regular skin with you fingerprint. The new layer of skin is smooth, so the skin has to either rip, or bump up. But the ridges of the fingerprint allow for it to curl together or spread apart. Like when you have a shoe with those bumps, it is there so the shoe can flex better than a shoe without. That is it. And the reason for everyone's fingerprint to be different, is because you try to put together two artificial hands, made of millions and millions of tiny building blocks, and tell me when they are EXACTLY the same.

The Mpemba effect

Hey,

So we have the Mpemba effect, which most of you have probably heard.

The Mpemba effect is how hot water freezes faster than cold water. But not like this:

8oz of water at 90°c, marked a, is put in a freezer. Another 8oz of water at 30°c, marked b, is put in the same freezer, at the same time. 5 minutes later, when the freezer was opened, the cup marked a was frozen and the cup marked b was not.

No. we are talking about the rate that it freezes, not the overall time.

This happens because heat goes up and cold goes down.

So you put your cold water in the freezer, and as it is in there, the cold water goes down, and the warmer water goes up. After some time we get some small pieces of ice. This ice floats to the top, as it is less dense the liquid water, and after some time we get water.

Now you put a cup of hot water in the freezer, and when it is in there the heat travels up, forcing the colder air down to the water, due to diffusion in the air, causing more colder air to hit the top of the cup. Now because we have that cold air, it cools the water,  so the top is now colder than the bottom, and we have the colder water go to the bottom and the hotter to the top. this goes on and on and on, which makes the cooling process go by faster.

And that is the answer to the Mpemba effect.

The Last Digit of Pi

What's Up,

So lets talk about pi. 3.14159 (To see even more click here). We all know it as it was taught to us in elementary school. We were told that it goes on forever. But does it? I mean honestly it has to stop somewhere. Everything has an end. Well, I can say that I know the last digit of pi. you see it is zero. Honestly. It is, Because LOGICALLY speaking if you add a zero the the end of any decimal, it stays the same. So the last digit of pi is zero. And I know that someone out there will be saying " Well if it is infinite, then it isn't zero". Well actually it is, because if it is endless, then it does not have a last digit, so theoretical i would still be right. For example, you could say that your third leg is blue, people would find it weird, but if you have no third leg, then anything you say about it is true, except if you say that it is real. Because if it does not  existence, then it is everything, technically.

And that is the last digit of Pi
