Albert Einstein's Storys

Albert Einstein's wife often suggested that he dress more professionally,
when he headed off to work.
"Why should I?" he would invariably argue.
Everyone knows me there."
When the time came for Einstein to attend his first major conference,
she begged him to dress up a bit.
"Why should I?" said Einstein.
"No one knows me there

Albert Einstein was often asked to explain the general theory of relativity.
"Put your hand on a hot stove for a minute, and it seems like an hour,"
he once declared.
"Sit with a pretty girl for an hour, and it seems like a minute.
That's relativity!"



========= ========= ========= ========= =========



When Albert Einstein was working in Princeton university,
one day he was going back home he forgot his home address.
The driver of the cab did not recognize him.
Einstein asked the driver if he knows Einstein's home.
The driver said "Who does not know Einstein's address?
Everyone in Princeton knows.
Do you want to meet him?".
Einstein replied "I am Einstein.
I forgot my home address, can you take me there? "
The driver reached him to his home and did not even collect his fare from him .

Einstein was once travelling from Princeton on a train when the conductor came down the aisle,
punching the tickets of every passenger.
When he came to Einstein,
Einstein reached in his vest pocket.
He couldn't find his ticket,
so he reached in his trouser pockets.
It wasn't there, so he looked in his briefcase but couldn't find it.
Then he looked in the seat beside him.
He still couldn't find it.
The conductor said,
'Dr. Einstein, I know who you are.
We all know who you are.
I'm sure you bought a ticket.
Don't worry about it.'
Einstein nodded appreciatively.
The conductor continued down the aisle punching tickets.
As he was ready to move to the next car,
he turned around and saw the great physicist
down on his hands and knees
looking under his seat for his ticket.
The conductor rushed back and said,
'Dr. Einstein, Dr. Einstein, don't worry,
I know who you are. No problem.
You don't need a ticket.
I'm sure you bought one.'
Einstein looked at him and said,
'Young man, I too, know who I am.
What I don't know is where I'm going. That's why I am searching my ticket''

Giant Virus Eating Virus Discovered in Antarctica Lake



A virus, dubbed "Organic Lake Virophage" or OLV, was discovered in Organic Lake, a 6,000-year-old body of saltwater in eastern Antarctica. Researchers found its genome hidden in sequences of local Phycodnaviruses -- giant viruses that basically live in the lake and attack algae. Evidence suggests these two viruses have been swapping genes and co-evolving. Scientists have concluded that the OLV depends on the Phycodnaviruses for survival. The scientists also believe there may be other virus-eating viruses lurking in the depths.
The OLV actually support the ecosystem by making sure there's enough algae for other bacteria to eat. In 2008, the first virophage, Sputnick, was discovered. Scientists who have been looking for another large-scale discovery to confirm their findings, have found it. The discovery hold the clue to understanding and defeating the viruses that attack our own immune systems.

Panadol Can Be Harmful

Panadol is toxic to the body, and it harms the live. According to the doctor, Panadol will remain in the body for at least 5 years. And according to the doctor, there was an air-hostess who consumed lots of Panadolas she needed to stand all the time and work under lots of pressure. She's now in her early 30's, and she is undergoing kidney cleaning (DIALYSIS) every month.
Whenever we have a headache, that's because it is due to the electron / Ion imbalance in the brain.
Some alternative solution to cope with this matter is Drink lots of water.
Another method will be to submerge your feet in a basin of warm water so that it brings the blood pressure down from your throbbing head.
As Panadol is a pain killer, the more Panadol you take, the lesser would be your threshold for pain (your endurance level for pain). We all will fall ill as we age.
Imagine that we had spent our entire life popping quite a substantial amount of Panadol (Pain Killer), when you need to have a surgery or operation, you will need a much more amount of general anaesthesia.
If you have a very high intake of Panadol throughout your life (Migraine, Menstrual cramps ) it is very likely that normal general anesthetics will have no effects on you as your body is pumped / full with Panadol and your body is so used to pain killer that you would need a much stronger pain killer, Morphine????
The thought is scary enough to turn me to Herbal Medicine or other healthier alternative. Value your health, value your life, THINK TWICE before you easily pop that familiar pill into your mouth again.

7 Amazing Transparent Animals – Wonders of Nature

Nature is fascinating and often weird, it surprises us when we least expect. Some creatures use the camouflage techniques as a hunting and defense mechanism, others show everything they have – like transparent animals. Despite of what we are inclined to think, transparent and translucent animals live also on the ground, not only in the abyss of the ocean and we have visual proof of it. Nothing is photo shopped!

1. Transparent Frog




2. Transparent Cave Crayfish




3. Transparent Sea Cucumber



Slow moving, soft bodied
bottom dwellers for the most
part, Sea Cucumbers are an
ancient lineage of sea creatures
who have evolved a variety of
ways to survive and thrive over
hundreds of millions of years of evolution. For some Sea
Cucumbers, being transparent
allows them to fly under the
radar, as it were, of predators in search of a quick & easy kill.


4. Transparent Icefish



Fund in the cold waters around
Antarctica and southern South
America, the crocodile icefish
(Channichthyidae) feed on krill,
copepods, and other fish. Their
blood is transparent because
they have no hemoglobin and/
or only defunct erythrocytes.
Their metabolism relies only on
the oxygen dissolved in the
liquid blood, which is believed
to be absorbed directly through the skin from the water. This works because water can dissolve the most oxygen when it is coldest.


5. Transparent Amphipod



Called Phronima, this unusual
animal is one of the many
strange species recently found
on an expedition to a deep-sea
mountain range in the North
Atlantic. In an ironic strategy for survival, this tiny shrimplike
creature shows everything it
has, inside and out, in an
attempt to disappear.


6. Transparent Squid




7. Transparent Siphonophores



Siphonophores belong to the
Cnidaria, a group of animals that includes the corals, hydroids, and true jellyfish. Marrus orthocanna, a deep sea
siphonophore. The combined
digestive and circulatory system is red; all other parts are transparent.
