Dynamic Architecture

Well, now is the time to look into the future of architecture. It is the time for rotating skyscrapers. 
The rotating skyscrapers will mark the beginning of a new era in the architecture, a challenge to the traditional architecture. The rotating buildings will define the start of a new conception in architecture: a concept of Buildings in motion, in contradiction with the same idea of real estate, that it is at heart of every construction
 The concept of  was first introduced by Florentine architect David Fisher and the process of building the first ever rotating building is about to start and it is going to be in Dubai. ( This was supposed to be completed in 2012 but for some reasons, the process hasn't yet started).
What makes them truly amazing is that they are Eco-friendly and that self-powered besides they can rotate. Besides, they will need much less time and labor to build. Besides, the cost of building is significantly low compared to concrete buildings.
Each individual floor is able to rotate independently and in sync with other floors. It has been said that the building will  never look the same twice in its entire life. 

Rotating skyscrapers get the power from wind turbines that are placed between floors and which rotate freely with the wind. The energy generated will be enough to power four other such buildings.
The building is constructed around a central cylindrical core. Each floor is composed of individual sections that are fitted around the core. Except the core, all other materials are factory made and  are later brought to the site of construction.

Carbon Nano Tubes and their Vast Potential

I dint know much about carbon nano tubes before Dr. Kim shed some more light on it. As I researched on the practical implements of these nano tubes, I came across this amazing piece of information. It actually sounds more like a science fiction but it really is happening and not in the very distant future we can travel to the space just as comfortably as in an elevator. The scientists are working on building an enormously tall strings of nano tubes that can carry space ships into the space. Well, there would be a gigantic space station floating in the space and there would be a elevator sort of thing with base in the earth and that pierces through the earth's atmosphere.Once successfully built, this could change the way we perceive about space.

Well, below are some pictures that speak volumes about the capability of carbon nano tubes.

Dark Matter: A Brief Introduction

                                                      Dark Matter

           Most part of our Universe is dark i.e. there is no way we can see the "dark" part as it doesn't interact with light. The visible matter comprises only 4% of the total mass of the Universe. The rest of the pie is taken by mysterious  Dark Matter. Dark Matter doesn't doesn't interact at all with the light. It doesn't emit any radiations. It is just there. So, how do we know that it exists? Well, the Scientists inferred its existence from the motion of stars in the Galaxies. As per the conventional laws of physics, the stars farther away from the center of the Galaxy should move at lower speed than the stars towards the center. However, this is not what exactly happened.All the stars were found to move at same speed regardless of their position. This led to the conclusion that there is something in the vast empty space of the galaxy that itself is invisible but has a profound effect on the visible matter through gravitation. It is supposed that this very things is responsible for keeping the farthest stars intact in a Galaxy that would otherwise fly off. This gave rise to the idea of Dark Matter.
