ARE THERE ANY GREAT ACCIDENTS?

People want to be problem solvers; they want to be able to lift the burden off others shoulders. Are you like that or do you want to be a parasite that just wait to consume what others have worked hard for? 

Have you ever considered the fact that you can do something too or even do better than all the problem solvers that have gone ahead of you? The truth is that even before your conception, you have been destined to be great and to be a problem solver. Coming to terms with this truth and doing something with it, is the step that a lot of people fear to take before they die. Do not be like that; the world awaits your manifestation as a creature of God.

Being a problem solver does not mean that you have to invent something or produce something from the scratch, it could just mean that you are the one to improve on what some else has done previously. We have been using batteries before now, but no one has had or bought a battery that will last forever. With is discovery in the article below, more solution will be invented by someone who is tapping into their potential. Why not you too? It is never too late to do it.

In the world of glorious accidents this could well prove to be the greatest,
Scientists who were messing around with a gel have accidentally worked out a way to make batteries last forever.
The component – nanowires – doesn’t usually deal well with charging in a typical lithium battery and usually wear out after 7,000 cycles or so.The researchers at the University of California at Irvine realised that by coating a brittle component in batteries in a shell they can be recharged (or cycled) hundreds of thousands of times and not lose any power.
But with a manganese dioxide shell they lost no power despite being cycled more than 200,000 times in three months.
This could lead to laptop, phone and tablet batteries that last forever. It might also benefit commercial batteries in cars and spacecraft.

The person to thank for the breakthrough, is Mya Le Thai, a PHD student at the university.
Reginald Penner, chairman of UCI’s chemistry department, said she was ‘playing around’ when she coated the wires in the thin gel layer.
He told The Inquirer: ‘She discovered that just by using this gel she could cycle it hundreds of thousands of times without losing any capacity.

Mya said the coat helped the nanowire electrode hold its shape much better, therefore making it more relaible.
‘That was crazy, because these things typically die in dramatic fashion after 5,000 or 6,000 or 7,000 cycles at most.’
She added: ‘This research proves that a nanowire-based battery electrode can have a long lifetime and that we can make these kinds of batteries a reality.’

EVEN AN EIGHT YEAR OLD

Wow!!! How amazing it is when people, even children discover their hidden potential early. This child is certainly a genius, but praises go to the parents who have supported to see that the child starts on such part early in life.

This eight year old's  book will be an inspiration to other children who have what it takes to do as much or even better.

I get excited over artcles like this. Adults, youths and children all have a seed of greatness inside of them. The earlier you figure out yours and turn it into a solution for others need the better the world will become for us all.



Eight-year-old literary genius publishes first two books in trilogy


We reckon this eight-year-old is a shoe-in for the Man Booker Prize.
A child has successfully written and self-published a novel, entitled ‘The Fart That Killed Everyone’.
The imaginitively named, long-awaited sequel ‘The Fart That Killed Everyone 2’ was released soon afterwards.
We assume the two gripping thrillers, which were photographed and posted on Imgur, are the first in a trilogy.
Readers are now eagerly awaiting the third installment.
Literary critics say the books are ushering in a new era in publishing.

ANOTHER PROBLEM SOLVER EMERGES

Everyone is a problem solver; some people have not just realised it. When you look carefully around you, you will find out that there is a problem you have been created to solve. Just like this professor, you can be the next person to solve a world problem.

A lot of Mathematics Professors have come and gone since this mystery, but Andrew Wiles broke the record. You too can! The reward of being a problem solver can be monetary but far more that, there is a level of joy people derive when they bring solutions to others needs.

Do not be left out, read the article below and imagine the difference you will make when you tap into the seed of greatness in you and create  change.


Professor solves 300-year-old math mystery, wins $700,000

  




Andrew Wiles (University of Oxford)



An Oxford professor is now $700,000 richer for solving a 300-year-old math mystery, the Telegraph reports. In 1994, Andrew Wiles, 62, cracked Fermat's Last Theorem, which was put forth by 17th-century mathematician Pierre de Fermat.
Wiles will be traveling to Oslo, Norway, in May to collect the 2016 Abel Prize (including the honors and the cash) for his proof, which the Norwegian Academy of Science and Letters calls an "epochal moment" in the mathematics field.
"Wiles is one of very few mathematicians—if not the only one—whose proof of a theorem has made international headline news," the academy said in an announcement of his numerical feat.
The puzzle had haunted Wiles for years. Times Higher Education notes he had been intrigued by it since he was a boy, leading to seven years of intense study at Princeton before he stumbled upon his eureka moment.
He found the proof he was looking for using a method involving three disparate fields that mean nothing to the layman but everything to braniacs trying to solve this problem: modular forms, elliptical curves, and Galois representations.
"Fermat's equation was my passion from an early age, and solving it gave me an overwhelming sense of fulfillment," he tells the Telegraph. (For the record, the theorem states that there are no whole number solutions to the equation xn + yn= zn when n is greater than 2.) Wiles says he hopes his work will serve as inspiration for up-and-coming numbers aces "to take up mathematics and to work on the many challenges of this beautiful and fascinating subject." (Prime numbers just got a little weirder.)
