Electromagnetism--One Of The Groundbreaking Phenomenon

electromagnetism
ɪˌlɛktrəʊˈmaɡnɪtɪz(ə)m/
noun
noun: electromagnetism; noun: electro-magnetism
  1. the phenomenon of the interaction of electric currents or fields and magnetic fields.
    • the branch of physics concerned with electromagnetism.






  2. Electromagnetism is a branch of physics involving the study of the electromagnetic force, a type of physical interaction that occurs between electrically charged particles. The electromagnetic force usually exhibits electromagnetic fields such as electric fieldsmagnetic fields, and light and is one of the four fundamental interactions (commonly called forces) in nature. The other three fundamental interactions are the strong interaction, the weak interaction, and gravitation.

Superstitions in India

Superstition is the belief in supernaturalcausality—that one event causes another without any natural process linking the two events—such as astrology and certain aspects linked to religion, like omenswitchcraft, and prophecies, that contradict natural science.
The word superstition is generally used to refer to the religion not practiced by the majority of a given society – such as Christianity in Western culture – regardless of whether the prevailing religion contains superstitions. It is also commonly applied to beliefs and practices surrounding luck, prophecy, and certain spiritual beings, particularly the belief that future events can be foretold by specific (apparently) unrelated prior evenorg

What is Science?

The Fabric of Space and Time

What is Science? is one of the most simplest questions a child curious to know asks.The question itself seems to be a simple one but when one starts explaining it, the answer seems to be a never ending. So what exactly science is what you will came to know today!

The word 'Science' originates from Latin verb Scientia, meaning 'to know'. The Sanskrit word Vijnana(विज्ञान) expresses similar meanings.

Fewer Definitions of Science are :


Science alone of all the subjects contains within itself the lesson of the danger of belief in the infallibility of the greatest teachers in the preceeding generation . . .As a matter of fact, I can also define science another way: Science is the belief in the ignorance of experts.

                                 ----------Richard Feynman, Nobel-prize-winning physicist,
                                       in The Pleasure of Finding Things Out
                                       as quoted in American Scientist v. 87, p. 462 (1999).





The systematic observation of natural events and conditions in order to discover facts about them and to formulate laws and principles based on these facts. 2. the organized body of knowledge that is derived from such observations and that can be verified or tested by further investigation. 3. any specific branch of this general body of knowledge, such as biology, physics, geology, or astronomy.

                                -----------Academic Press Dictionary of Science & Technology




Science is an intellectual activity carried on by humans that is designed to discover information about the natural world in which humans live and to discover the ways in which this information can be organized into meaningful patterns. A primary aim of science is to collect facts (data). An ultimate purpose of science is to discern the order that exists between and amongst the various facts.
