Image
 Hey guys! Here we meet in another post "Pseudoscience: The Sequel. In this post I will be given you all some super fascinating examples of Pseudoscience. So, without much ado....let's jump in!!! To have a quick brush up of my previous post, Pseudoscience is anything that is partially factual as well as scientific. Now let's see some examples..... 1. Telekinesis Telekinesis or psychokinesis is the physical ability of a person to influence any physically object without any physical interaction. In simple word it is basically like you stare at something.....let us take an example of a cricket ball, well you stare at the ball (let's assume that it is kept on a table) and even without you having any physical interaction with the ball the ball floats up as if gravity has gone *poof*. Sounds spooky?😰 I know it seems like the stuff you actually find in movies where the people freeze things mid air, levitation and many more.  But science opposes this because science believe

In today's post we shall get to know what is PSEUDOSCIENCE!!!! So have you heard of the word Pseudoscience?....

Tips to become a good writer!

 Hey Guys ! Here we meet in another post.... In this post I thought I shall give a few tips on writing....Frankly saying writing is really a tiring thing to do....We need to keep a whole lot of things in mind before we start writing something, so I will be giving you all a few tips to master writing!  1. Choose a comfy spot     This might sound silly but is extremely true. When you start anything not only writing it is very important that you choose a place where you can think in peace...It can be anywhere; your room, balcony etc. The more you are in your favorite place the more freely your thought processes flow and the more peaceful you feel. And u will also find yourself more engrossed in what you are writing. I repeat start your writing by choosing a comfy spot that suites you best. 2. Format your plot     One of the most important thing while writing is to be organized with what we are writing. It is a necessary to have a basic road map on what order we are going to write. And onl

I hope all of u have a fun time reading!!!! Let's start with what my friend Niya has got to say about exams.... NIYA :  "   I didn't feel any difficulties. I was stressed on the day of physics, geography, maths and chemistry. I guess I had mixed feelings about exams in general. I was partly excited about writing my first online exam and partly str
