I am sure while surfing the internet you have come across several posts on many websites, pictures, posts on Facebook quoting “World’s Fastest Internet Connection at NASA 91 Gb/s”. Many facts saying that “Internet Connection at NASA is 13,000 times faster than yours”, and NASA can beat any speed test.

Fact: The Internet Speed At NASA Is 91Gb/s!

But is it real? Does NASA really have the unbelievable 91 GBps or Gbps Internet Connection?

Well the story is a HOAX! To understand why this story is fake, firstly you have to understand some crucial concepts, so let me break it down for you. Do you know what is the difference between Gigabytes per second and Gigabits per second.

Gigabytes Vs Gigabits

Many people don’t know the proper difference between these computing units, some use the terms “Gigabit” and “Gigabyte” interchangeably, some confuse their meanings. However, both of these terms are used as units of measurement which describe the digital data.

Let’s understand these units, 1 Gigabyte (1 GB) = 8 Gigabits (8 Gb) and 1 Gigabit = 128 Megabytes. In May 2014, NASA conducted an experiment to find out the maximum speed that a file transfer between two computers placed just a small distance away can attain. The research paper of the NASA’s experiment showed that the file transfer attained a speed of 91 Gigabits per second. And the Internet Speed at NASA is not measured in Gigabytes but in Gigabits per second, also the speed gets reduced from 91 Gigabits per second to 11.375 Gigabytes per second.

So now I hope you have understood the concept of Gigabits and Gigabytes per second. Moving on, now we have to know and understand the network that NASA is on. What’s very obvious is they are not using a local data network. So what do they use?

The network that NASA used is known as a Shadow Network.

A shadow network is similar to the Internet, but it is meant to connect only a few organizations and research facilities across the world. It is used to share data related to the science experiments. NASA’s shadow network is known as the Energy Science Network, or simply ESnet.

We can simply say that NASA’s network is local. It only connects the computers of the research facilities and NASA’s computers to share data files of experiments. A simply way to understand a shadow network is to see a local network of offices, college and schools.

The Experiment That NASA conducted!

The popular fact that NASA attained the 91 Gbps! But the internet speed at NASA is not 91 Gigabits per second. This was an experiment conducted by NASA in May 2014, trying to find out the maximum speed of file transfer between two computers placed apart at a small distance. The 91 Gbps speed was achieved on a connection between NASA Goddard facility in Maryland and SC13 in Denver. The experiment used the ESnet, which allows the file transfer speeds up to 100 gigabits per second.

Meet Mahatma Gandhi’s Great Granddaughter Medha Gandhi! She’s The Latest Internet Sensation

We all know about Mahatma Gandhi, the man who led the battle of Indian Independence with his mantra of Ahimsa (non-violence). His teachings are very much relevant in today’s world too but the truth is that nobody wants to follow them, as the path that he has shown is a little tough; however, it is the best way to lead life.

Source

There are many facts about Bapu which are unknown to present generation! For example, do you have any idea about the family of Mahatma Gandhi?

It may be an eye-opener for those who think that Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi are the descendants of Mahatma Gandhi because they don’t have any blood relation with Bapu.

Mahatma Gandhi had four sons and as of now, his 154 descendants are living in six countries excluding India. And today we are going to tell you about one of his descendants who is making Internet and social media go crazy about her.

We are talking about Medha Gandhi, the great granddaughter of Mahatma Gandhi!

Source

One of the four sons of Mahatma Gandhi was Harilal Gandhi and Medha is the daughter of Harilal’s son Kantilal who settled in USA after Independence.

Source

Medha is not making heads turn because of her connection with Bapu but on account of her stylish attitude and sarcastic statements which she write as captions.

In fact, her bio reads, “I’m a DJ. I’m Indian. That makes me a failure.”

Source

Medha writes comedy and besides that, she is a parody producer as well as very talented vocally.

Source

She is also the producer of a very famous show, “The Dave and Jimmy Show”.

Source

“Matty in the morning show” is her latest show and she has nearly 52K followers on Instagram.

Source

Undoubtedly, she loves to travel and she is an animal lover too.

Source

Medha may have a connection with Mahatma Gandhi but she represents modern Indians living in America!

We wish her luck for her future endeavours.

Hyundai Copy Logo From Honda? Here’s The Actual Truth.!!

Honda Motor Co. Ltd is a popular Japanese automobiles & motorcycle manufacturer company which was founded by Soichiro Honda in 1948. Since 1959, Honda has been the world’s largest manufacturer of motorcycles. On the other hand, Hyundai Motor Company is a South Korean company and was a subsidiary of Hyundai group (first founded as a construction company in 1947). Hyundai Motor company was founded in  1968, 9 years after the Honda was founded.

Comparing the Logos of these two we normally get the question –  Did Hyundai copy Honda’s Logo?

(This is because – as Honda was founded first and Hyundai later. Also, there is no clear information regarding the years in which their logos were started)

To decode this question let us know what does their logos mean:

Honda:

Honda is the world’s largest motorcycle manufacturer and also world’s largest manufacturer of internal combustion engines in volume. It produces 14 million engines each year. It is the 8th largest automobile manufacturer in the world.

Coming to the logo – Honda logo represents the image of the company very elegantly. Honda automobiles come up with the ‘H’ logo in a rectangular trapezoidal frame and the shipping carriers are allotted with Honda Marine logo. ‘H’ in the logo appears broad from the top and thinner from the bottom. It is seen with a silver-grey metal color which gives inspiring look to the brand name. Honda ‘H’ logo is inscribed in roman style in all caps and bold, making the company a stand out from others. Honda has different logos for 2 wheelers and 4 wheelers. Basically, ‘H’ in the logo refers to the last name of the founder Soichiro Honda and there are no hidden messages in the logo.

Hyundai:

After seeing the Honda’s logo everyone might be thinking that there is no change in Hyundai’s logo except the ‘H’ is slanted or written in Italic style. But this a biggest misconception, as the Hyundai logo is meant for other message and it is more than just a slant of the Honda’s logo.

Hyundai word is Korean means modernity. Hyundai logo depicts an over shaped letter ‘H’ which not only represents the company name but it also represents a silhouette of two individuals shaking hands. One individual is the company and the other is the satisfied customer. The handshake is a symbol of trust and satisfaction between the company and consumer. The oval represents Hyundai’s global expansion.

The biopic on Bollywood’s bad boy Sanjay Dutt, Sanju is already out and ruling the box offices. Everyone is praising Ranbir’s performance in the movie. If you’ve watched the movie, you’d have already tried to match the reel-life and the real-life characters in Sanjay Dutt’s life. Apart from Ranbir, the film stars Sonam Kapoor whom the actor dated back in the 1980s and 1990s.

Sonam Kapoor, who is essaying the role of Ruby in the film, has a pivotal role in the movie. Her name in the film is Ruby. However, in reality, Sanjay Dutt didn’t have any girlfriend named Ruby.

Ruby, played by Sonam Kapoor, has been projected as one of Sanjay Dutt’s ex-girlfriends. As per the reports, Sonam’s character is an amalgamation of Sanjay’s ex-girlfriends and the character is based loosely on Tinu Munim or Madhuri Dixit, whom the actor had dated before.

The makers have refused to comment about the role of Sonam Kapoor. A lot of characters have been kept away from the biopic. Sanjay had a long list of affairs and girlfriends. All his affairs have been compressed to this fictitious character named Ruby.

The biopic on Bollywood’s bad boy Sanjay Dutt, Sanju is already out and ruling the box offices. Everyone is praising Ranbir’s performance in the movie.

Ruby, played by Sonam Kapoor, has been projected as one of Sanjay Dutt’s ex-girlfriends. As per the reports, Sonam’s character is an amalgamation of Sanjay’s ex-girlfriends and the character is based loosely on Tinu Munim or Madhuri Dixit, whom the actor had dated before.

The makers have refused to comment about the role of Sonam Kapoor. A lot of characters have been kept away from the biopic. Sanjay had a long list of affairs and girlfriends. All his affairs have been compressed to this fictitious character named Ruby.

Let us clear out the speculations. Sonam Kapoor as Ruby is not playing the role of Tina Munim, who is now Tina Ambani. They were childhood friends and started dating each other during Sanjay’s debut movie. As per the movie, Sanjay ditched Ruby whereas in real life Tina Munim left Sanjay due to his destructive nature. There’s no mention of Tina in the movie.

She is not even playing Sanjay Dutt’s first wife and the mother of his eldest daughter Richa Sharma.

In the movie, it has been revealed that Sanjay had about 350 girlfriends. However, the only girlfriend shown in the movie is Sonam Kapoor. Even in the interviews, the actress didn’t reveal details about her role and said that she is not playing any actress. There are high chances that she’s playing the role of Madhuri Dixit, but we still aren’t sure of the same.

At last, we can infer that the character is not based on any particular female of Sanjay’s life. Rather different references have been taken from his life and the role of his ex-girlfriends has been compressed to one girlfriend, named Ruby, shown in the movie.

Do you agree with our analysis? Or can you guess who Ruby is?
