hi friends,
Enjoy this interesting photo-quiz. It covers various topics. It is mostly pertaining to India and few of them across the world. Hope you'll enjoy it. The answers are given after the last question.

There's Plenty of Room at the Bottom
An Invitation to Enter a New Field of Physics
by Richard P. Feynman
This transcript of the classic talk that Richard Feynman gave on December 29th 1959 at the annual meeting of the American Physical Society at the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) was first published in the February 1960 issue of Caltech's Engineering and Science, which owns the copyright. It has been made available on the web at http://www.zyvex.com/nanotech/feynman.html with their kind permission.

For an account of the talk and how people reacted to it, see chapter 4 of Nano! by Ed Regis, Little/Brown 1995. An excellent technical introduction to nanotechnology is Nanosystems: molecular machinery, manufacturing, and computation by K. Eric Drexler, Wiley 1992.
I imagine experimental physicists must often look with envy at men like Kamerlingh Onnes, who discovered a field like low temperature, which seems to be bottomless and in which one can go down and down. Such a man is then a leader and has some temporary monopoly in a scientific adventure. Percy Bridgman, in designing a way to obtain higher pressures, opened up another new field and was able to move into it and to lead us all along. The development of ever higher vacuum was a continuing development of the same kind.
I would like to describe a field, in which little has been done, but in which an enormous amount can be done in principle. This field is not quite the same as the others in that it will not tell us much of fundamental physics (in the sense of, ``What are the strange particles?'') but it is more like solid-state physics in the sense that it might tell us much of great interest about the strange phenomena that occur in complex situations. Furthermore, a point that is most important is that it would have an enormous number of technical applications.
What I want to talk about is the problem of manipulating and controlling things on a small scale.
As soon as I mention this, people tell me about miniaturization, and how far it has progressed today. They tell me about electric motors that are the size of the nail on your small finger. And there is a device on the market, they tell me, by which you can write the Lord's Prayer on the head of a pin. But that's nothing; that's the most primitive, halting step in the direction I intend to discuss. It is a staggeringly small world that is below. In the year 2000, when they look back at this age, they will wonder why it was not until the year 1960 that anybody began seriously to move in this direction.
Why cannot we write the entire 24 volumes of the Encyclopedia Brittanica on the head of a pin?
Let's see what would be involved. The head of a pin is a sixteenth of an inch across. If you magnify it by 25,000 diameters, the area of the head of the pin is then equal to the area of all the pages of the Encyclopaedia Brittanica. Therefore, all it is necessar ...

15. What is this called???
There are five houses.
The Englishman lives in the red house.
The Spaniard owns the dog.
Coffee is drunk in the green house.
The Ukrainian drinks tea.
The green house is immediately to the right of the ivory house.
The Old Gold smoker owns snails.
Kools are smoked in the yellow house.
Milk is drunk in the middle house.
The Norwegian lives in the first house.
The man who smokes Chesterfields lives in the house next to the man with the fox.
Kools are smoked in the house next to the house where the horse is kept. (should be "... a house ...", see
Discussion section)
The Lucky Strike smoker drinks orange juice.
The Japanese smokes Parliaments.
The Norwegian lives next to the blue house.
Now, who drinks water? Who owns the zebra? In the interest of clarity, it must be added that each of the
five houses is painted a different color, and their inhabitants are of different national extractions, own
different pets, drink different beverages and smoke different brands of American cigarets [sic]. One other
thing: in statement 6, right means your right.

27. X??
The Clock of the X, also called the 10,000-year clock, is
a proposed mechanical clock designed to keep time for
10,000 years. The project to build it is part of the X
Foundation.
The project was conceived by Danny Hillis in 1986 and
the first prototype of the clock began working on
December 31, 1999, just in time to display the transition
to the year 2000. At midnight on New Year's Eve, the date
indicator changed from 01999 to 02000, and the chime
struck twice. That prototype, approximately two metres
tall, is currently on display at the Science Museum in
London.
30. FITB
One can even set up quite ridiculous cases. A ____ is penned up in a steel
chamber, along with the following device (which must be secured against
direct interference by the ____): in a Geiger counter, there is a tiny bit of
radioactive substance, so small that perhaps in the course of the hour, one
of the atoms decays, but also, with equal probability, perhaps none; if it
happens, the counter tube discharges, and through a relay releases a
hammer that shatters a small flask of hydrocyanic acid. If one has left this
entire system to itself for an hour, one would say that the ____ still lives if
meanwhile no atom has decayed. The psi-function of the entire system
would express this by having in it the _____ and _____ (pardon the
expression) mixed or smeared out in equal parts. It is typical of these cases
that an indeterminacy originally restricted to the atomic domain becomes
transformed into macroscopic indeterminacy, which can then be resolved
by direct observation.That prevents us from so naively accepting as valid a
"blurred model" for representing reality. In itself, it would not embody
anything unclear or contradictory.There is a difference between a shaky or
out-of-focus photograph and a snapshot of clouds and fog banks.

I've learned how to calculate the voids; along with my
colleagues we are getting to know the mechanisms for
filling in the social and economic "voids".Voids are
everywhere. They can be calculated, and this gives us great
opportunities ... I know how to control the Universe. So
tell me — why should I chase a million?
