Scientific Terms

[I will keep updating this chapter as we proceed with the story ]

Scientific Terms and Explanation For better understanding :

***

These Terms are basically derived from facts from the actual world. And These facts are used to describe the APAURUSHYA Universe which is more or less similar to our Universe except the Fantasy Element of my story.

So all the things explained here are done to help readers to get a brief understanding of scientific or over the edge terms used in the story. HAVE FUN WITH EXTRA KNOWLEDGE.

***

[Nuclear Fission]: In nuclear physics and nuclear chemistry, nuclear fission is a nuclear reaction or a radioactive decay process in which the nucleus of an atom splits into two or smaller, lighter nuclei. The fission process often produces gamma photons and releases a colossal amount of energy, even by the energetic standards of radioactive decay.

[Nuclear Refineries :(Energy Producers)]: Nuclear power plants harness the energy released from the nucleus of an atom via nuclear fission that takes place in a Nuclear Reactors.

[Fermi Paradox]: The Fermi paradox, named after Italian-American physicist Enrico Fermi, is the apparent contradiction between the lack of evidence for extraterrestrial civilizations and various high estimates for their probability of existence (such as some optimistic estimates for the Drake equation). Equations and formulae prove that there should be many visible intergalactic species, but the observation proves that there are none.

[Relativistic Kill Vehicles (Weapon System)]: A relativistic kill vehicle ( RKV) or relativistic bomb is a hypothetical weapon. The details of such systems vary widely, but the key common feature is the use of a large object traveling at a significant fraction of light speed to strike the target, which will have a phenomenal amount of kinetic energy when it hits the victim planet or any other object.

[Big Crunch] -The Big Crunch is a hypothetical scenario for the ultimate fate of the universe, in which the expansion of the universe eventually reverses and the universe re collapses, ultimately causing the cosmic scale factor to reach zero, an event potentially followed by a reformation of the universe starting with another Big Bang.

[Human echolocation]: Human echolocation is the ability of humans to detect objects in their environment by sensing echoes from those objects, by actively creating sounds. People trained to orient by echolocation can interpret the sound waves reflected by nearby objects, accurately identifying their location and size.

[Paradox ]: A paradox, also known as an antinomy, is a logically self-contradictory statement or a statement that runs contrary to one's expectation. It is a statement that, despite apparently valid reasoning from true premises, leads to a seemingly self-contradictory or a logically unacceptable conclusion.

[ Moore's Law ] -Moore's Law is a computing term that originated around 1970; the simplified version of this law states that processor speeds or overall processing power for computers will double every two years. A quick check among technicians in different computer companies shows the rule is still accepted.

[ Cloud ] - This is an on-demand availability of computer system resources, especially data storage (cloud storage) and computing power, without direct active management by the user. The term is used to describe data centers available to many users over the Internet.

[ Cyberspace ] - Cyberspace is a concept describing a widespread, interconnected digital technology. The term used by technology strategists, security professionals, government, military, and industry leaders, and entrepreneurs to describe the domain of the global technology environment.

[ Accelerating change ] - In future studies and the history of technology, 'accelerating change' is a perceived increase in the rate of technological change throughout history, which may suggest a faster and more profound change in the future.

[Heterochromic Eyes] - Heterochromia of the eye is called heterochromia iridum or heterochromia iridis. It can be complete or sectoral. In complete heterochromia, one iris is a distinct color from the other. In sectoral heterochromia, part of one iris is a different color from its remainder. In central heterochromia, there is a ring around the pupil or possibly spikes of different colors radiating from the pupil.
