Magic of sound, Alhumdulilah. An interesting scientific observation

November 01, 2023, 03:44:32 pm Zainab_M: Allahhuma ameen .. ameen.
November 01, 2023, 03:43:43 pm Ruhi_Rose: Yes .. making lots of dua everyday ..... watching those real life video clips, my face feels wet with tears all the time.  May ALLAH grant the best to these wonderful, brave & steadfast martyrs,  Ameen ya Allah.
November 01, 2023, 03:38:26 pm Zainab_M: Keep praying, praying a lot for Gaza. It's worse than a prison .. it's a concentration camp.  Children as young as 10 or 11 are having to care for their younger siblings ages 2, 3 and 4 becoz many have lost both parents.  It's a very, very, very tearful situation there.
October 26, 2023, 03:40:19 pm N. Truth Seeker: Don't forget to look up MV Blog Zainab's Lounge for our Gaza updates.
October 20, 2023, 04:24:44 pm Zainab_M: Right sister Heba.  Gaza hospital bombing has the fingerprints of Israel all over it.  For Israel this is no big crime.  They have done this and much worse many times in the past and intend to do the same and worse many more times in near future.
October 20, 2023, 04:20:20 pm Heba E. Husseyn: Catching Zionist lies isn't hard. Soon after Gaza hospital bombing killing and maiming hundreds, Israel was quick to accuse Islamic Jihad of a misfired rocket.  That didn't sound plausible because IJ does not have such sophisticated bombing devices.  Zionist lie was fully exposed when anglican archbishop of Jerusalem,Hosam Naoum,  said today that 3 or 4 days prior to boming Israel had warned Gaza hospital to evacuate. Yet CIA claims in its flawed analysis that the rocket did not come from Israel.  But conveniently does not explain how Israel could have known 4 days earlier that a "misfired" rocket from IJ was coming.  Yet on the basis of this flawed & bias analysis of CIA, Biden is comforting Israel he believes Israel didn't do that war crimes bombing.
July 29, 2023, 03:02:07 am Zainab_M: Yesterday was Ashura, Muharram 10, 1444 (July 27, 2023).  Read about this very tragic day and details of the world's greatest 7th century revolutionary: WHO WAS HUSSEIN.
June 28, 2023, 09:48:39 am Zainab_M: Walaikum As Salaam.  This was the first Hajj open to all after the pandemic. It was attended by 2.6 million Muslims.

Salam everyone.  This is nice. 

A person sent this question to a science talk show on TV.  I found it so interesting that I thought I must share it with you guys here.  The person wrote that he has a cabin somewhere close to the mountains of B.C., Canada.  The rail tracks are just a short distance away from his cabin.  The trains pass quite frequently and can be heard loud and clear each time they pass in winter.  But during summer months, even though the trains pass just as frequently, they're barely audible.  He wanted to know why. 

A science correspondent responded with the following explanation which I've paraphrased.

He stated that sound travels much faster in winter than in summer.  This is because in winter the air is heavier than in summer, and when air is heavy, it helps sound to move better.  When astronauts  are in space or in the moon, they literally have to shout at one another while speaking in order to be heard clearly.  And this is because the atmosphere there is so light that it doesn't help the movement of sound.  Scientists presume that if man ever lands in Mars, they'll hardly be able to hear one another even from a distance of 3 or 4 feet. 

The laws of nature can be so fascinating, Alhamdulilah!   Yet few of us ever think of thanking Allah for His infinite Bounty.

I think I saw this program.  It was 'Mansbridge One on One' with Bob MacDonald, CBC's science correspondent.  I do recall watching this discussion.  Certain points were apparently factual, some were guesses.  E.g. an intriguing question asked by someone was if dinosaurs had any color.  He said that we aren't sure because the DNA dinosaurs is now too old to provide such information.  He then added that since some dinosaurs could fly, that could mean that they were of the bird family in which case they must have had a lot of color as birds are very colorful.  This was a guesswork.  All flying creatures aren't necessarily birds.  For instance, bats fly but they are mammals.   Thus, until now it never struck me to associate any species of dinosaurs with birds.  I thought all dinosaurs were reptiles.  They certainly look very reptilian from the fossils and photo sketches we see of them. 

Only Allah knows best ..

Awfully interesting thread.  I love reading such stuff.  On the dinosaur issue, I never consider myself entitled to confirming anything.  Only Allah will tell us the truth of whatever we kept thinking about, in the Hereafter, not before that.

As-Salam Alaykom again.  A very old post of mine happened to see it now after Sister Zainab's reply to Sister Ruhi.   You're right Sister Ruhi.

Furthermore, yeah Sister Zainab, that was the program.  I recall someone also asked about the color of dinosaurs and I too never thought of associating dinosaurs with birds.  I don't know if fossils showing wings would necessarily imply they are of the birds family.  Roaches, mosquitoes, bees and flies also have wings too but certainly can't be classified as birds.
