Road Safety

In just these recent days, I've seen multiple accidents on the road. I know I'm a woman, and all that stereotype. But today I think enough is enough, I'm standing my ground. These are two incidents that happened to me last night & this afternoon - that could end badly.


PLEASE STOP DOING THESE
Be Considerate! Be Safe!

#1 Following closely & blinding head lights
Last night ~10 pm

The red car was following me too closely. I was going to make an exit at the junction, but I'm waiting for the blue car to pass by first. But the red car followed so closely, & it blinded me with it's headlights. I was seeing white lights and lost a little judgment to handle that exit! So I honked for it to stop blinding me. Isn't it horrible. As the junction nears, only by Allah's Mercy, I made a safe exit. الحمد لله


#2 Sudden lane changing
This afternoon ~1 pm

It was raining & the roads were slippery. The red car changed lanes without signaling. I swerved. The car went zig zag. Only by Allah's Mercy, I stabilized the car. الحمد لله People. This is how a vehicle jumped over the boundary to the opposite lane and smashed on the opposite car(s). This is how when someone drives very well, but suddenly BAM!!! A car crash landed on him. It's horrible!

I also had another car following me closely like #1. It even honked at me. But I did nothing wrong, my speed is suitable for the traffic. And I don't want to meek myself anymore I honked him back! I feel like I'm in a foreign country where people always honk, I don't want to do that. But you need to know this road is for me as well.

الحمد لله only by Allah SWT Mercy that we're safe
A dua (supplication) before riding a vehicle:

سبحان الذي سخر لنا هذا وما كنا له مقرنين
Glory to Him who has subjected this to us
and we could never have it (by our efforts). [Q43:13]

Yes. I'm a lady driver. & I also took physics, so I know my inertia & momentum. [Speed makes a difference] BTW, ArabNews reported Saudi Arabia has the highest road accident deaths in the world. 17 deaths a day. 1 death for every 1 ½ hour [street terrorism]

Guess what. (◠-◠)v

Facts of Life

Special Relativity

Hot Colors

The blue flame is the higher energy
Happy 200th birthday Robert Bunsen! I know Bunsen coz I have used a Bunsen burner. So I checked him out. & apparently Bunsen researched the emission spectra of heated elements. Is it about the colors of flame? Like how yellow flame is the lower energy, and blue flame is the higher energy ☆ Particle

I think that's how they determine a star. Simply by its color.

OK I have yet to work out how the color changes.* Is it at the atomic level - when stuffs get energized, the vibrations emit photon (light)? And so it glows. The light bulb is an example - a metal filament wire is heated until it glows.

Then we can run that light through a prism, & analyze its color spectrum. [spectral analysis] This is how we know what a star is made of bcoz chemical elements emit certain lines in the spectrum. We can also discover its temperature, speed, distance and age.



Spectrum of hydrogen, helium, lithium, oxygen, carbon and iron

HIGH	LOW

* do colors change when particles gain, lose energy

OK... so I'm not very versed in this (~ v ~)v

Third Rock

Layers of the Earth
OK. So let's get to know our home planet. The Earth. (^-^)

This third rock from the sun is made of several distinct layers:
1. The atmosphere (gas) - protects life on Earth
2. The crust - comprising the lands & oceans
3. The mantle (semi solid) - where the internal heat circulates
4. The core (liquid & solid) - iron, source of the magnetic field

OK. I simply wanna know why the earth quakes. So. If I understand it right - the Earth's crust is actually broken apart as plates و الأرض ذات الصدع [Q86:12] - which fits together like a jigsaw puzzle. Intense heat from the Earth’s core causes these plates to move. [wtu] And as it meet at cracks (fault lines), sometimes, things don't go smoothly & this releases energy - causing the ground to shake. والله أعلم


Warmer material rises, colder material falls
This plate movement is called plate tectonics. [web | video] It is due to the heating (rising) and cooling (falling) of the mantle from the hot core, known as convection. So is this movement like the water cycle?

اعوذب لله من الشيطان الرجيم
وترى الجبال تحسبها جامدة وهي تمر مر السحاب
صنع الله الذي أتقن كل شيء إنه خبير بما تفعلونAnd you see the mountains, thinking them rigid, while they will pass as the passing of clouds. (It is) the work of Allah, who perfected all things. Indeed, He is Acquainted with that which you do. [Holy Quran 27:88] ماشاء الله

NOTE soil contains water like clouds

And when 2 plates collide & uplifts vast land area - this forms mountains. These mountains reduces the earthquakes. "To relieve the stress, mountain ranges are often formed in the over riding land mass while earthquake prone zones are formed below" وألقى في الأرض رواسي أن تميد بكم [Q16:15]


والجبال أوتادا [Holy Quran 78:7 | video]
So is this how the mountains peg the earth?
