A Treasure Trove 6,500m Below Sea Level

A US navy destroyer that was sunk during the World War ll and was found by an American exploration team. They stated that the destroyer was lying 6,500 Meters below the sea level. The 115-Meter-long ship was sunk on October 25,1944 during the Battle of Leyte Gulf as US forces fought to liberate the Gulf as US forces fought the Philippines- then a US colony- from Japanese occupation. According to the US navy records, only 141 of the ship's 327 crew survived. Sonar data, imagery and field notes collected during the dives would be returen over to the US Navy, Vescovo said.

Smallest and largest river islands in the world.

It is interesting to know that both the world's largest and smallest river islands are situated in the Brahmaputra river in Assam. The smallest one is called UMANANDA (Also called Peacock Island) and the largest is known as MAJULI . These islands attract visitors from every corner of the globe. Some people say that Lord Shiva created the Peacock island for his wife Parvati’s happiness. The island was also very popular for it's golden langurs, which is one of the most endangered primate species of India (The last one surviving is now reportedly dead). The main attraction of the Umananda island is the Umananda Temple which was built in 1694CE in the order of King Gadadhar Singha but was broken down by an earthquake in 1867. Majuli is a river island in the Brahmaputra River, Assam and in 2016 it became the first island to be made a district in India. It is now being eroded at a very great speed.

Distinctive Prime Numbers Discovered By The Mathematicians

In a new research , mathematicians have revealed new category of prime numbers " digitially delicate ". This infinitely long prime numbers turn back to composites faster than cindrella at midnight with a change of any individual digit. These digitally delicate prime numbers have inumerous digits , and changing any digit to any other value bears a composite number outcome instead. To use a more simple example, consider 101 which is a prime number. Change the digits to 201 , 102 or 111 and you will have values that are divisible by three and therefore compound numbers. But this idea was found to be decades old , so what did the mathematicians found new ? The mathematicians from the University of South Carolina have established an even more specific niche of the digitally delicate primes: widely digitally delicate primes. These primes are added with infinite " leading zeros ", which don't change the original prime, but make a difference as the number of zeros a...
