Welcome, O dear
reader!
First, about the
name of this blog…
A gyroscope (from Greek γῦρος gûros, "circle" and σκοπέω skopéō, "to look") is a spinning wheel or disc in which the axis of rotation is free to assume any orientation. When rotating, the orientation of this axis is unaffected by tilting or rotation of the mounting, according to the conservation of angular momentum.
Many a times, I feel my mind to be like this gyroscope... Rotating freely on its axis most of the times, and sometimes fixating on a particular topic or subject.
This blog is intended to give a semblance of direction to it.
In this blog, I will be sharing bits and pieces of information about the topics that interest me, primarily:
- Science: Pure and applied sciences
- Math
- Engineering and Technology
- Computing
- History
- Geography (mainly, maps)
A disclaimer: By the very nature of this blog, almost all the content shared here will be sourced from other places on the Web. I will endeavour to cite references wherever possible.
So… Join me as I embark on a journey to pick up some pearls from this infinite ocean of knowledge.
