Infinity is not a number. It’s a mindset.” Infinity is not a number. It’s a mindset.” Imagine this. You’re on a cosmic road trip, and you come across a Hilbert Hotel — a place with infinite rooms, at the edge of the universe. Feeling tired of travel, you find it to be the best spot to spend the rest of the day. Sounds like the perfect stop. Except… a sign outside says “FULL.” But the receptionist waves you in and says, “Don’t worry. We’ve got space.” Wait, what? Ahh…Now I welcome everyone to one of the most mind-bending paradoxes in mathematics — the Hilbert Hotel Paradox , where infinity doesn’t follow your common sense . You walk up to the front desk, dragging your heavy suitcase, and ask for a room. The receptionist smiles warmly. “Of course,” he says, already preparing your keycard. “But… isn’t the hotel full?” you ask. He nods. “It is. Every room is occupied.” You blink. “So, how do I get one?” “Oh, simple. I’ll just ask every ...
It started as a debate during a boring lecture in school. Me and Friends were watching down the window and talking , when one randomly asked, “Can we really measure the speed of light… like, actually measure it?” We all paused and laughed. It sounded so easy, Everyone “knows” the speed of light is 299,792,458 meters per second. But then he asked: “Yeah, but has anyone ever measured it — like how we measure the speed of a car?” The laughter faded. We stared at him. Then at each other. Turns out, that’s when you know you’re about to fall into a new physics paradox. And so this blog is born — from that conversation, from that curiosity. A journey to explore the mysterious uncertainty in measuring the true value of the speed of light. The Speed of Light: A Constant… But Is It? The speed of light is exactly 299,792,458 meters per second. We are so sure of it that since 1983, we’ve actually used the speed of light to define how long a meter is. It’s just t...
How I found a hobby that quietly stuck with me You might be wondering — is this blog about food or cooking, as the title says? Well, it’s not. I’m not a chef or anything close to that — just a teenager who randomly got into cooking. This is more about how I got interested in it and how it slowly became something I enjoy doing. It all started when I was around 11. I used to annoy my mom (I still do) every time she cooked. I’d taste the food while it was being made, give comments, and interfere in the process like I knew what I was doing. What began like that slowly turned into helping her here and there. Through all this, I found it kind of fun. I picked up a lot just by watching her. Later, I tried cooking on my own — sometimes a total failure, sometimes okay. But I kept doing it. Slowly, I started managing to cook properly, and people, mostly my family, said it was good. My brother has eaten most of my cooking. Sometimes he just eats without saying much, sometimes he appreciates it. E...
