Well it's perfectly normal for a virus to mutate and create new variants. But the question that arises is how it's going to affect us.     Variants are a result of change in the protien structure of the virus , the proteins are the outermost structures on the virus that comes in contact with the human cell first foremost. Now, while the virus is creating copies or duplicates it sometimes miscopies and the spike protein structure is changed.     Photo Courtesy: Scientific American  It's good for us that there's a very slight probability of such new virus being effective and be able to do any harm. Most of these variants usually die and are harmless, but still there are some c...

     B18_Why can't we go faster than light?            Alright, Alright, Alright. _________________________ While driving,there's a speed limit, you can't go faster than that, technically you can go faster , but you won't.      Well there's a universal speed limit which can never be broken. Absolutely nothing in this whole universe can go faster than that , The speed of light 299,792,458 m/s. Here's why... PHOTONS ARE MASSLESS     Photo Courtesy: The Great Courses Daily     Photons(carriers of electromagnetism) and gluons (carriers of strong force) are the only two particles that have no mass , and therefore travel at the ultimate speed of light.      All other particles have some mass , hence can't be accelerated anywhere near light. Attaining lightspeed is like pushing a trolley   Consider a situation_ you are pushing a trolley and wish to take it's speed to lig...
