  INNOVATION OF BINARY NUMBER SYSTEM:- The application of binary numbers is quite recent, however the system itself was invented way back. Mathematician Gottfried Leibniz invented the modern binary system in 1679 and published it in 1703.He was far sighted and successfully predicted its usefulness in primitive machines.He mentioned how easy to work with the system was since there was no need to go for trial and error in divisions unlike the ordinary decimal process.[This by no means demeans the traditional number system, since that also serves its purpose.But that’s a topic for another blog]. The world of Binary THE STORY BEHIND BINARY NUMBERS:- Religious philosophical view of creation greatly contributed to Leibniz’s innovation.He was fascinated by the idea of “creation out of nothing”.The initial idea was to create a system that would translate logic into pure mathematical numbers.After his theory was unacknowledged he came across an old chinese classic text of divinat...

The Eye is one of our 5 sense organs. The main function of the eye is to detect the visual stimuli and to convey the gathered information to the brain via the Optic Nerve. The average human eye can see around 100 different shades of colour and has a resolution that equals 576 gigapixels. Parts of The Eye Orbits: The two eyes are located in deep sockets or orbits. Each eye contains an eyeball and can be rotated with the help of six muscles. Eyelids: The upper and the lower movable eyelids protect the outer surface of the eyeball and can shut out light. Each eyelid carries eyelashes which prevent entry of particles into the eyeball. Tear glands (lacrimal glands): They are located at the upper sideward portion of the orbit. Six to twelve ducts of the gland pour the secretion over the front surface. The tears lubricate the eye and clear out dust particles. The enzyme Lysozyme kills germs. Conjunctiva: It is a thin membrane covering the entire front part of the eye . It is continuous with ...

      Introduction to Artificial Intelligence:-   Human civilization has come a long way, from creating fire with the help of stones to LED; from invention of wheels to Cars, Aeroplanes and Autonomous Vehicles. Curiosity and Necessity are the leading factors of our improvement over the years.  In the late 1900's  scientists realised the need of automation in a better way along with the urge to describe human intelligence or consciousness. AI - A huge leap in the world of technology A brief history of AI:- The beginnings of modern AI can be traced to classical philosophers' attempts to describe human thinking as a symbolic system. But the field of AI wasn't formally founded until 1956, at a conference at Dartmouth College, in Hanover, New Hampshire, where the term "artificial intelligence" was introduced. Ancient Greeks and Chinese people had myths about artificial robots and intelligence. However building an AI wasn't that easy practically. It too...
