Earth’s Atmosphere Is Leaking Oxygen And Scientists Have No Idea Why Earth’s Atmosphere Is Leaking Oxygen And Scientists Have No Idea Why

Researchers have found out that for some odd reason, oxygen is slowly but surely leaking out of Earth’s
 atmosphere, but they can’t seem to get to the bottom of it.

A team from Princeton University found that oxygen levels have dropped by 0.7 percent in the last 800,000 years by analysing air bubbles trapped inside ice cores from Greenland and Antarctica.

For now, they have failed to point the reason of the leakage. Finding the answer is difficult as oxygen is being constantly recycled and reused by humans, animals, plants, and even silicate rocks. So using ice cores for oxygen level determination is the only way at the moment.

Researcher Daniel Stolper told in an interview,

“We did this analysis more out of interest than any expectation. We didn’t know whether oxygen would be going up, down, or flat. It turns out there is a very clear trend.”

The drop is very nominal and is not dangerous for the living beings, but getting to the bottom of it can reveal many secrets of our wondrous planet.

The researchers think that one reason could be an increased erosion rates, exposing and oxidising more fresh sediment while reducing atmospheric oxygen levels.

Another possible cause can be pinned on – you guessed it – long-term climate change. Over the last few million years, global temperatures have been slightly dropping, but after the industrial revolution, Earth has been rapidly heating in the past fifty years. This could have set off an ecological chain reaction, which caused sucking up of more oxygen out of the atmosphere.

All these are mere speculations and till yet have no data to be proved whatsoever.

While this declination’s effects will not be as detrimental as carbon dioxide’s rising, it will hinder the amount of sunlight that reaching the ground. And there also has been evidence of changing oxygen levels adversely affecting Earth’s climate in the past.

Stolper added,

“We are consuming O2 at a rate a factor of a thousand times faster than before. Humankind has completely short-circuited the cycle by burning tonnes of carbon… it’s yet another indication of our collective ability to do what happens [naturally] on the Earth, yet so much faster.”

Have You Ever Wondered Why The Numbers On Phones And Calculators Are Reversed? Here’s The Answer!

Did you ever notice that the numeric keypads on phones and calculators are reversed? The only thing that is common in all the numeric pads is the ‘0’ button that is at the bottom. The remaining numbers go from top to the bottom in a phone whereas from bottom to the top in calculators. If you’ve been confused about this, you have come to the right place. Here’s why they are in reverse directions.

The theory lies in the most used buttons being on the bottom. Old mechanical cash registers were designed in such a way that the ‘0’ button was at the bottom. Because of its high usage, the designers thought that it must be accessible to the fingers easily and visible to eyes just at a glance. And then the numbers followed i.e. 1-2-3 in the next row, followed by 4-5-6 in the row above it, and finally 7-8-9.
Later, when the electronic calculators were designed, they used the existing calculator’s keypad arrangement with ‘0’ at the bottom, ‘1’ at the bottom left corner, and ‘9’ in the top right corner.Before the invention of the touch-tone phones, telephones had rotary dials. So, instead of buttons, they used to be numbered from 1 to 9 followed by 0, and when you had to dial any number, you had to insert your finger in the hole of that number and then spin it. However, when the touch-tone telephones were invented, the designers decided to change the layout rather than replicating the design of the calculators.

After testing several designs, they came to the conclusion that a three-by-three matrix with 1,2,3 at the top was the most suitable and convenient design to use with the lowest error rate. The same design has been in use till date and even smartphones follow the same format.

Do You Know Why Airplanes Are Usually White Coloured? Here’s The Answer

You must have seen aeroplanes flying in the sky a thousand times. Have you ever wondered why they are white in colour? Except for the logo painted on the tail and a bold inscription reading the airline name, the entire exterior of the aeroplane is painted in a pristine white.

So, Why is White the colour of choice for the Aeroplanes?

Interestingly, even the most trained pilots are unaware of the logic behind the white coloured exterior of the aircraft. Here are the few reasons that prompted the airlines to adopt the universal white paint for the airliners!

1.  Perfect-Reflector

White colour reflects all the wavelengths of light and ensures that the sunlight doesn’t heat up the aircraft. Therefore, white colour provides a thermal advantage as well.

2. Cost-Effective

Paint job of an airplane is a time-consuming and arduous task. It requires a lot of manpower and is quite expensive as well. Therefore, the more the time spent on decorative painting, more is the loss of revenues during the same period. Thus, white is the rational choice in this case.

3. Overall Weight & Operating costs

The more the paint on the fuselage, the heavier is plane and its operating expenses rise significantly. The airlines companies want to avoid the losses and therefore, opt for the white paint.

4. Easier Maintenance & Repairs

Dents and cracks are always easier to spot on the white exterior thus saving inspection time and costs.

5. Better Resale Value

White planes have a better resale value than the coloured airplanes. No wonder we don’t see a pink plane in the sky!

Here Is The Reason Why You Can’t Get Your Hands On A Jet Black iPhone 7/7 Plus

Although almost all of the iPhones sold out within minutes of pre-order going live on September 12, the new jet black iPhone 7 is even harder to get even now, though it is more difficult to maintain and prone to scratching and scuffing.

The reason of this particular colour being hard to find is because according to KGI Securities analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, the jet black iPhone 7 and Plus has a “low casing production yield rate of 60-70%.”

This means that 40 % of the phones made for you never got out of the factory due to their “imperfections”. Apple also released a very cinematic video explaining the process of creating the jet black iPhone, and it sure looks like a very intricate and difficult process.In the video, Apple Chief Design Officer Jony Ive explains the process and rationale behind creating the colour,

“To define one truly uninterrupted form, we’ve developed a whole new process to achieve a high gloss black finish,”  “This begins with rotational 3D polishing. A specialized compound flows over the intricate geometries of the housing, removing imperfections, establishing a seamlessness between materials and producing a pristine mirror-like surface. The enclosure then goes through an anodization process which creates a protective oxide layer. A single component die is absorbed through a capillary effect to ensure maximum saturation, while actually becoming part of the surface itself. Finally, a magnetized ultra-fine iron particle bath is used to polish the anodized layer to a superior high shine.”

So, unfortunately, you’ll have to wait a bit longer for your jet black iPhone 7 or iPhone 7 Plus. But hey, if you are going to put it into a cover anyway, is there any sense of waiting for a particular colour? Probably wisest option is to order whichever colour is available and start using this amazing phone.
