👉 Wormhole Tunnels in Spacetime May be Possible

    Even though if it was possible, a special machine to allow humans to travel to a different point in the universe through a wormhole still seems to be far away.

       


    The idea of a wormhole to make a bridge between two universes was first portrayed by physicists Albert Einstein and Nathan Rosen in 1935. In theory, they found that a black hole's surface might work as a fridge to the second patch of room. From that point forward, numerous others imagined wormholes and said some of them might be "traversable", which means people might have the option to go through them. Be that as it may, these thoughts were restricted by two difficulties: the fragility of these tubes and their tininess. 
    
    In late 2017, physicists discovered a leap forward to prop open wormholes with Quantum entanglement - a sort of significant distance associating between Quantum elements. This new methodology motivated a flood of work pointed toward making greater, longer-lasting holes.


👉Tesla Roadster capable of 0-100 km/h in just 1.1 seconds!🚀

    The upcoming Tesla Roadster claims it can accelerate from 0-100 kph in just 1.1 sec, with the help of SpaceX's performance package. 




    The second-generation Roadster release was announced almost three years back. However, over the years the company has repeatedly delayed the electric car citing various reasons. And finally, Tesla Roadster is expected to enter production in 2022. Recently tesla displayed the prototype of the roadster at the Petersen Museum in Los Angels. They said the car will receive a SpaceX performance package, allowing the EV to accelerate to 100km/h in just 1.1 seconds. It proved that it could make the EV the fastest car ever in the world.

Roadster base Specs(as per Tesla)

    # 0-60 mph       -- 1.9 seconds
    # 0-100 mph      -- 4.2 seconds
    # Top speed      -- Over 250 mph
    # Wheel Torque   -- 10,000Nm
    # Mile Range     -- 620 miles
    # Base price(Us) -- $200,000


👉Robotic 'Third Thumb' using AR

    Research in University College London says that using a robotic "Third Thumb" can impact how the hand is represented in the brain.     


    people have been fascinated by the chances afforded through augmentation. This vision not only depends on technological innovations but also critically relies on our brain's ability to learn, adapt, and interface with augmentation devices. Able-bodied peoples were prepared to use an extra thumb(called the Third Thumb) over 5 days, including both lab-based and unstructured daily use. 

    Humans were tested on a variety of behavioral and brain imaging tests, designed to interrogate the augmented hand's representing before and after the training. After the training, it improved third thumb motor control, dexterity, and hand-robot coordination and also resulted in an increased sense of embodiment over the third thumb. yet, augmentation may incur changes to the biological hand representation. Such neurocognitive consequences are crucial for the successful implementation of future augmentation technologies.

👉Air India Data Breach - Over 4.5million😱

    Name, date of birth, contact information, and ticket information have also been compromised in the attack between August 26, 2011, and February 3, 2021, that targetted Geneva-based passenger system operator SITA.


    India's national airline Air India on Friday reported a data breach that it said involved personal data, including contact details, and passport information, of an unspecified number of customers. SITA offers back-end network services to several airlines and several of them sent similar notifications to their customers earlier this month. The affected airlines included Lufthansa, Finnair, British Airways, Singapore Airlines, and united, and involved close to 4.5 Million records.

    Air India said the data of its customers involved those that were registered over a decade of years. "The breach involved personal data registered between 26 August 2011 and 3 February 2021. Star Alliance and Air India frequent flyer data "but no passwords data were affected" as well as credit card data, a notification from Air India said.

👉Google Boasts 3 Billion Active Android Devices Around Globally

    Google I/O 2021 is presently ongoing, this year on a virtual basis due to the prevailing COVID-19 pandemic. They announced that Active devices running on Android OS have gone beyond 3 Billion. 


    Sameer Samat the vice president of Google's product manager broke the news of the milestone during the event. This new disclosure means 500 million Android users were added since the 2019 Google I/O Developers Conference. However, 1 billion active users have been added since 2017 when the estimates crossed the 2 billion mark. The hugely conservative estimate of active Android devices shows the prevalence and growth of Android applications globally. 

    The numbers far eclipsed that of active iOS devices, which Apple put at just above a billion. Android will maintain its leading position in years to comes as Google continues to reinvent the wheel of the Android ecosystem.  They were sure that they have a bag full of techy surprises for their audience and they will be seeing some new and great things in the future.
