The Starlink satellite constellation is an ambitious project initiated by SpaceX’s CEO Elon Musk to provide high-speed internet anywhere around the globe.

In 2015, Musk announced the startup of the network of communication satellites with a statement that “there is a significant unmet demand for low-cost global broadband capabilities.”

They have launched nearly 600 satellites in low-Earth-orbit (LEO) so far and are planning to extend it to the interconnected network of about 12,000 small satellites. The network of satellites is connected by space lasers. The main concern they have is global connectivity through the world’s largest Low-Earth-orbit broadband constellation.

The theory of mind is about recognizing other minds, comprehend emotions, understand intentions, and predict behaviors that are essential for intelligent social interaction. The capability to detect others’ minds is critical to human cognition and social interaction. It allows us to build relationships and work cooperatively to achieve common goals.

Research has shown that having a sophisticated theory of mind may be a large part of why humans have cognitive skills. This ability is so important that when it is disrupted, as we see in some cases of autism, vital cerebral functions like language learning and imagination become impaired.

Science, like the universe, is an ever-evolving prospect. Yet, new discoveries are not always appreciated by people with previously entrenched doctrines. Just as, Copernicus was abandoned by the Roman Catholic church for presenting the heliocentric model of the universe. Galileo was accused of being a heretic (one who goes against the church’s teachings) for upholding Copernicus's model.

In the same way, the discovery of irrational numbers which is attributed to the Hippasus of Metapontum also challenged the customary convictions about perfect numbers.

The Italian philosopher Hippasus was alive in the late 5th century BC. He was associated with a group…

Some of the most fascinating researches in physics nowadays are being done by astrophysicists and cosmologists. In fact, each discovery seems to unlock even bigger and deeper uncertainties.

Astrophysics is the field of space science that seeks to understand the structures in the universe with the help of physical laws and the data collected by astronomers from ground-based telescopes. It aims to explore the celestial objects beyond the Earth, from planets in the solar system to distant stars and galaxies.

Though we have been doing astrophysics for more than 200 years, still our existing speculations are not enough to give…

Humans are enriched with the feature of approximating numbers visually. But, if the number gets invariably large then it becomes back-breaking to counter them in the head. Like me, If you are a person who finds it troublesome to operate large numbers quickly in the brain then you will find these hacks worthwhile.

In this article, few divisibility rules (division by numbers from 2 to 9) will be discussed to aid the lengthy calculations. Let’s get started.

#2

If you have to divide the number 26,739 by 2, see if the last digit is even or odd. …

At some point in our lives, we tried to have casual conversations with our Google Assistant, Siri, Bixby, Alexa, etc. However, most of our questions went unanswered or, the answers were given in a somewhat ubiquitous way.

Generally, robots use AI to express themselves in the ‘most humanly’ way possible, based on the amount of data.

According to Dr. Eleanor Sandry — a professor at Curtin University:

“Robots are designed to sense the world around them so, they behave and act in accordance with it.”

Scientists have already created robots that can express emotions. …

In this article, I will discuss computational complexity which was developed by Juris Hartmanis and Richard E. Stearns to analyze the difficulty of an algorithm.

We all know, human nature aspires to seek an efficient way to assemble their daily tasks. The predominant thought process behind innovation and technology is to make life easier for people by providing ways to solve problems they may encounter. The same thing happens within the world of computer science and digital products. We write algorithms that are efficient and take up less memory to perform better.

Time complexity is the time taken by the…

Gamblers and Astronomers — the two very distinct groups of people were actually responsible for the origination of probability theory. The former one wanted to better grasp the odds while the latter was trying to have accurate observations from their rudimentary tools.

Certainly, gambling is very unlikely to feed you in the long run. A bunch of people claims that they’re living a happy life playing dices, but, one can never be lucky all the time.

During ancient times people who played games of chance thought that the outcome of the game is something that they can’t control, as they…
