How many times we breathe everyday?

Did you ever counted how many times you breathed today? You might say that it's a little less than impossible task, but for your knowledge, according to a research, a normal human being breathes about 20,000 times in a day.
Taking the average of 960 breathes an hour, a person would breathe about 8,409,600 times in an year. If a person lives to 80, they would take about 672,768,000 breathes in a lifetime.

How much air passes through your lungs everyday?
The average adult while at rest inhales and exhales about 7 or 8 litres of air per minute. That totals about 11,000 litres of air per day. Inhaled air is about 20% of oxygen and exhaled air  is about 20% oxygen. Know about the cancer in lungs, Mesothelioma, Mesothelioma Compensation and Mesothelioma survival rates here. 

Is pure oxygen deadly?
We breathe air that is 20-21% oxygen, and we require oxygen to live. So you might think that breathing 100% oxygen would be good for us, but actually it can be harmful. So the short answer is, pure oxygen is generally bad, and sometimes toxic.

    And I thought that the percentage of oxygen in the air that we inhale might be more than 90%.

What is the fastest Internet speed ever recorded?

By
In May, 2020, researchers in Australia claim to have achieved internet speed of 44.2 Terabits per second, the fastest internet speed ever recorded. This unbelievable speed was achieved with the help of a single optical chip called micro-comb that replaces around 80 lasers found in some of the existing telecom hardware. The micro-comb is really tiny, about the size of a fingernail.  At this lightning speed, you can download over 1000 HD (High Definition) movies in less than a second.  Continue reading to know who is/are considered the father of internet? Who performed this test? The lightning speed was achieved by a team of researchers from the Swinburne, Monash and RMIT universities of Australia.  Where did the test took place? The device was planted and tested outside the laboratory with the help of using some existing infrastructure similar to that used by the National Broadband Network(NBN) of the country and is compatible with current NBN's infrastructure.  The

Nanosecond | Power of Nanosecond | Uses of Nanosecond

By
A nanosecond (ns) is an SI unit of time equal to one billionth of a second ( 1/1,000,000,000s). A nano-unit is 10 raised to the power -9. One nanosecond is to one second as one second is to 31.71 years. The prefix nano and time's unit second led to the formation of the word nanosecond whose symbol is given as ns. There are still two more units smaller than nanosecond, these are picosecond (1/1,000,000,000,000s) and femtosecond(1/1,000,000,000,000,000s). One thousand nanosecond will make up 1 Microsecond whereas a million nansecond is equivalent to 1 millisecond. The unit nanosecond is generally used in computers to calculate the processing time of RAM and in electrical components.

7 Random Facts that are of no use to you

By
Hey everyone! Hope you're having a great day. After a short break, I'm back. And I thought that one fact won't be enough. So I came up with 7 random facts that you don't need to know. 1st Fact-   What did Bruce Lee study? The largest influence on Lee's martial arts development was his study of Wing Chun. Lee began training in Wing Chun when he was yet 16years old under Wing Chun teacher Yip Man in 1957, after losing a fight with rival gang members. 2nd Fact- What does it mean to throw the baby out with the bathwater? Throw out the baby with the bath water is an idiomatic expression and a concept used to suggest an avoidable error in which something good is eliminated when trying to get rid of something bad, or in other words, losing the essential along with the inessential. 3rd Fact- Can a goalkeeper score by throwing the ball? The ball enters play as soon as the goalkeeper throws or kicks it. Once the ball is in play and is made
