Zombie Fish

'Zombie fish' brought back to life thanks to miracle white powder



The poor swimmer is nearly dead at the start of this video, but a mystery pick-me-up soon does its work


This video looks like a piece of magic - no camera trickery guaranteed.
But it's actually just the appliance of some pretty cool science that you might remember from the classroom.
The fish is lying motionless in the water until someone sprinkles some magic white powder on the surface.
Within seconds, it is alert and swimming , seemingly unaware of what's happened to its physiology.
The vice-president of the Guangxi Fisheries Science Research Institute, Li Xiaozheng, in Nanning, southern China’s Guangxi region, said the miracle life-giving powder was in fact sodium peroxide, an inorganic compound with the formula Na2O2.

Almost fin-ished: The fish was close to death when it was in the basin

The product of sodium ignited in excess oxygen, when Na2O2 is dropped into the water, it releases the O2.
Li said: "[The chemical] is fine to use to increase oxygen. But if any industrial materials were added to it during the production process, then it should be used with caution."

Magic powder: The addition of the sodium peroxide is about to make a real difference

As you can see, the essential gas immediately helps the fish fully recover.
Viral videos of fish being brought back from the brink of death by the mysterious white powder added to their water have been shared across social media in China .
In the past, sodium peroxide was used to bleach wood pulp for the production of paper and textiles.

In modern day laboratories, it is mainly used for specialised operations such as the extraction of minerals from various ores.
Puzzled netizens who shared the videos online say they are happy they now have an answer to the mystery, with several fish lovers adding that they now know to use the chemical in the future to save their ailing pets.

Trading and Mindset

                Especially in India, when we say about TRADING, the majority of people think about either risk or loss or both. The reason behind the risks are extremely untutored on charting techniques, ill-educated about the trading platform, witless goals on the outcome, cretinous decisions when trade, lack of knowledge about current affairs and market conditions and so on.

Charles Darwin's illness Charles Robert Darwin  (12 February 1809 – 19 April 1882) was an English naturalist who realised and presented compelling evidence that all species of life have evolved over time from common ancestors, through the process he called natural selection and now forms the basis of modern evolutionary theory. Darwin’s scientific discovery remains the foundation of biology, as it provides a unifying logical explanation for the diversity of life. For much of his adult life Charles Darwin's illness repeatedly affected him with an uncommon combination of symptoms, leaving him severely debilitated for long periods of time, incapable of normal life and intellectual production, staying in bed most of the time for months. Charles Darwin wrote that "Constant attacks....makes life an intolerable bother and stops all work". He consulted with more than 20 doctors, but with the medical science of the time the cause remained undiagnosed. He tried all ...

Cryonics Technology

Today, I am going to articulate an interesting topic. It is about Cryonics Technology. It is the first and foremost prominent technology that relates to AFTERLIFE! Does it sound weird? Cryonics is the low-temperature freezing, that would be -130 °C and storage of corpses!  Now, you might have a plethora of WH-Questions! Cryonics Technology comes into the picture only when the human being expires due to lung/liver/heart or any other organ failure or due to any diseases. This technology will keep the body and other organs as undamaged as possible by freezing them and circulating the blood throughout the vessels. So that, In future, If the dead person gets antidote or cure, then they will implement the fix and then the dead can come back to life AGAIN!  It is like " I am back " as Keanu Reeves says in the movie John Wick. Let's go a little deeper into this topic! This will be fascinating. James Bedford was an American Psychology professor whose body was first preserved aft...
