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 to cross the goal line legitimately, a goal is given against the team whose goal line the ball crosses.

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?

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.
