Re: FACT Of The Day !!!
The fundamental description of the universe does not account for a past, present or future
According to the special theory of relativity, there is no such thing as a present, or a future, or a past. Time frames are relative: I have one, you have one, the third planet of Gliese 581 has one. Ours are similar because we are moving at similar speeds.
If we were moving at very different speeds, we would find that one of us aged quicker than the other. Similarly, if one of us was closer than the other to a major gravity well like the Earth, we would age slower than someone who wasn’t.
GPS satellites, of course, are both moving quickly and at significant distances from Earth. So their internal clocks show a different time to the receivers on the ground. A lot of computing power has to go into making your sat-nav work around the theory of special relativity.

Re: FACT Of The Day !!!
HEMP FACTS
All parts of the hemp plant are harvested and commercially used – its fiber, hurd and seed.
Hemp Fiber Facts
The outer layer of the hemp stalk is used to make fiber.
Hemp fiber can be used to make clothes, bags, ropes, canvas and cording; it can also be used for insulation, to manufacture auto-body parts, windows, boxes, and much more.
The oldest artifact in human history is a piece of hemp fabric from 8000 B.C.
Christopher Columbus’ fleets used hemp riggings and sails to navigate the ocean.
Artists such as Van Gogh, Rembrandt and Gainsborough mainly painted on hemp canvas.
The first Levi jeans were made from a hemp fabric known as duck.
In 1941, Henry Ford manufactured a car from the resin of stiffened hemp fiber. The body of the car was constructed to absorb damage from metals 10 times as great as steel, without causing a dent.
The fibers of hemp are one of the strongest natural fibers in the world.
Hemp Hurd Facts
After using the outer portion of the hemp stalk to make fiber, the remaining hemp stalk and stem are used to make small chucks called hemp hurds.
Hemp hurds can be used to make paper, fertilizers, animal bedding and when combined with hemp fibers, can make building materials.
In 1215, the Magna Carta, the first document limiting the powers of the King of England, was drafted on hemp paper. Both the Declaration of Independence and the U.S. Constitution was drafted on hemp paper.
Hemp generates 4 times more hemp-pulp than trees do wood-pulp, to produce paper. In fact, hemp paper can be recycled an average of seven times, while wood-pulp paper is recycled an average of 3 times.
Hemp hurds can be used to generate clean energy sources such as, gasoline, ethanol, methanol and methane gas. This fuel can be used for electricity or as gas for vehicles. In fact, if the U.S. cultivates hemp on 6% of its land, the crops can be used to provide energy for the whole country.
In 1941, Henry Ford designed a car engine that ran on ethanol made from hemp.
Hemp Seed and Oil Facts
Hemp is a rich natural source of omega-3, omega-6, protein and fiber.
It can be used to fortify dairy products, breads and other foods, and hemp oil can also be used to brew beer.
Hemp oils are also included in bath and body products as it supports healthy skin.
In the Middle Ages, in countries such as Germany and Italy, hemp seeds were boiled in a soup, or used as filling in pies and tortes.
Environmental archeologists discovered hemp was grown in religious medieval hospitals across Scotland, inferring that hemp could have been used as a medicinal crop.
In the 1400s, Christopher Columbus always carried a reserve stock of hemp seeds on his expeditions in case of a shipwreck, to use as a food source and initiate hemp cultivation.
In the 1990s, during mass starvation in Africa, charitable organizations such as the Red Cross used hemp seeds to cook porridge for nourishment.
Hemp is generating a lot of buzz as consumers discover the wide range of health benefits offered by hemp seeds and hemp oil. Prominent influencers in the health food industry, such as Dr. Oz, have shed light on the benefits offered from hemp consumption. In 2011, the annual retail sales of hemp products was an estimated $452 million. Today, hemp has gained mainstream acceptance and is found in health food stores across North America.
