Questions that make people look down on you!

  Questions that make people look down on you!   Questions like ‘What is this?’, ‘How can I do this’, ‘Can you teach me?’ are knowledge seeking questions.   These questions imply: ‘I didn’t try myself to find answers.’ ‘I need to be taught because I cannot learn by myself.’ etc.    This means that you are putting yourself to be treated like a baby who needs support.    Society respects people who can work independently, solve problems by themselves.    In order to show your capability, you will need train ‘how to ask questions.’   For more information, visit PonderEd.ca.

Quantum mechanics, it is in everyday life!

  Quantum mechanics, it is in everyday life! Water boils when heated (infrared). Heat is longer wavelength than visible lights. Visible lights are longer wavelength than X-rays. Wavelength: X-ray < Visible lights < Heat (infrared) Water is transparent. Transparent means interaction between visible lights and water is minimum. Thus, visible lights don’t effectively boil the water because interaction is minimum. But they interact with the molecules in human eyes. To see objects, we need visible lights. To boil the water, we need infrared. ==> Quantum mechanics is theories of lights and their interaction with given materials.
