Perpetual Motion

The documented search for perpetual motion begins in the 13th century. Villard de Honnescourt drew designs for such machines at that time. There may be earlier designs, but perpetual motion is closely linked to machines, especially rotating machines, and machines are neither widespread nor very sophisticated before this time. Before the invention of electric or gasoline motors there were limited ways to supply power to do work. Waterwheels, tidewheels, and windmills supplied power only in certain locations; man and animals supplied all the portable power. People who had no access to a suitable stream, estuary, or windy hill-top sought alternatives, and inventors attempted to supply them with perpetual motion machines. The search continues to the present day. More recent designs for perpetual motion appear in response to crises, like the energy crisis, or high costs of fuels, or some poorly understood technological need. Perpetual motion refers to a condition in which an object continu

Yin and yang

The concepts of Yin and Yang originate in ancient Chinese philosophy and metaphysics , which describes two primal opposing but complementary forces found in all things in the universe. Yin ( Chinese : 陰/阴 ; pinyin : yīn ; literally "shady place, north slope (hill), south bank (river); cloudy, overcast") is the darker element; it is passive, dark, feminine, downward-seeking, and corresponds to the night.

Yin (receptive, feminine, dark, passive force) and Yang (creative, masculine, bright, active force) are descriptions of complementary opposites rather than absolutes. Any Yin/Yang dichotomy can be seen as its opposite when viewed from another perspective. The categorization is seen as one of conv

Googol-Plex

The Largest Number . Currently existing You can say that if you add one the that will be larger than googol plex. Ok then you cannot add one to the infinity it is then still infinity??? So Googol Plex is 10^1 1 with 1 zero, 10 10^10 1 with 10 zeros, 10,000,000,000 (5cm distance to moon, age of universe) 10^100 1 with 100 zeros, a Googol, 10,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000, 000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000, 000,000 (1st line, km, edge of universe) 10^Googol 1 with Googol zeros, a Googol-Plex, 10,000,000,000.......... Cannot even imagine how big is ?? In vedic concepts vellam is the biggest number I will be back with the whole list That is googol plex
