Hello Science Enthuists, id you know that Soil is the greatest destroyer of Houses and Buildings in the United States. Have you ever seen a crack in the walls of your house or a building and thought it was because of earthquakes and tornadoes? Well, the cause of it is from nothing but from Soil. Yes, Soil causes more damage in the US than Earthquakes, Floods, Tornadoes, and Hurricanes combines! This phenomenon is called Expansive Soil. Different Types of Soils in the US  Expansive Soil Expansive soil is when the soil (most expansive soil is clay) change their volume depending on the moisture content of the Clay. Clay swells when there is more water and shrinks when there is less water. Even though this might be a small change, it can cause a lot of damage to the building on it. This is a small mechanism where the size, shape, and arrangement of the changes based on the amount of water the soil is being exposed to. This kind of soil is not avoidable since large po...

Whats E=mc^2? Well today, you are going to find out. A couple of weeks ago, I was watching this video on YouTube about the efficiency of black holes in creating mass into energy. It was all about the equation e=mc^2. I always thought what the equation was very complex but after watching the video, I understood the meaning behind the famous equation. What it means? So to keep it simple, E is energy; m is mass, and c is the speed of light squared! So, Albert Einstein said that energy equals the mass times the speed of light squared! That means that a 5 kg cat is enough to power the country of Norway for 2 years. That much energy from a 5 kg cat is really big. But sadly, we can’t harness 100% of the mass. The best method of getting energy from mass only gets about 0.000007% of the energy from the mass of the object. To get energy from mass really efficiently, there are 4 ways: 1. Chemical reaction 2. Nuclear reaction 3. Antimatters reaction Chemical Reactions Chemica...
