Image
Hello my dear readers, welcome to my blog. Today we are gonna discuss some prevalent science myths that must be busted and require correct reasoning. If you have not followed or subscribed to my blog then please do it or you will miss such interesting content in the future. So, let us begin our journey of debunking these myths!!! MYTH #1: If a penny (coin) is dropped from the empire state building, it can kill a person standing below it. This is the most prevalent myth in the world. It even sounds realistic when we hear it at first. We all have learnt Newton's equations of motions in our schools and it is one of its application.

Image
I fear the day when technology will surpass our human intervention. The world will have a generation of idiots. This is a quote from the year 1995 and I think that time has come. Nowadays, we spend much of our time using social media. The graph of daily social media has been increasing throughout the world.  Courtesy: Statista.com In this post I will discuss few things about social media, what was its motive, what are its pros and cons and the biggest issue throughout the world, "Is Social Media a Rumour Spreader?". So without wasting time let us start. What was the motive of social media? The first social media website was made in 1997 named SixDegrees.com (it is still in use).
