Emotion is a mental state associated with the nervous system brought on by chemical changes variously associated with thoughts, feelings, behavioural responses, and a degree of pleasure or displeasure. Reading and understanding emotions can lead to wide-ranging opportunities. Emotion sensing technologies are being widely used in many applications to effectively understand the users' mood and use that information to do something productive. EMOTION SENSING TECHNOLOGIES can be used in various fields such as personal robots, driverless cars, educational software, consumer electronic devices, video games etc and is on the verge of becoming the next big thing. THE TECHNOLOGY INVOLVED: SKIN CONDUCTANCE SENSORS: Skin conductance (SC) is an index of sympathetic nervous system (SNS) activation and emotional arousal. To measure skin conductance, a small electrical potential is applied between two electrodes strapped or taped to the palmer side of the hand, and the amount of ...

Let's try to answer the above question:          If we see a wormhole, in reality, it would appear round, spherical, a bit like a black hole. Wormholes contain two mouths, with a throat connecting the two. The mouths would most likely be spheroidal. The throat might be a straight stretch, but it could also wind around, taking a larger path than a more conventional route might require.    For most of human history we thought space was very simple; a big flat stage where the events of unfolds. Even if we take down the set of planets and stars, there is still something left. This empty place or stage is called space which actually exists, unchanging and eternal. EINSTIEN'S THEORY OF RELATIVITY CHANGED THAT. The theory encompasses two interrelated theories: 1. Special relativity:  It is mainly concerned with all physical phenomena in the absence of gravity. 2.General relativity: it is concerned with the law of gravitation and its rela...
