Have you ever heard about the Coriolis effect? If you haven´t, give me a few minutes and I will tell you more about this interesting physic's law.
First, you know that Earth rotates from west to east. This rotatory motion cause this effect. Did you know that thanks to it we can travel faster? It´s not an absolute truth, because it only happens if you fly from west to east, but if you do it in that direction it´s true, so if you are thinking to visit USA, your stay in the plane will be shorter when you return from America. The Coriolis effect also causes other “problems”; without going any further, when you want to shoot some long-range weapon, like a canon you have to consider it, beacuse the Earth's rotation will cause a little desviation of the projectile. Another interesting consequence of the Coriolis effect that you can observe in your house, is that the WC swallows the water clockwise. Maybe you think that it is normal, but if you go to South America for example, it will be the opposite.

Maybe you know about the problem with the CO2 emissions of the exhaust gases of car engines. This is one of the most important causes of the famous climate change.
But here we have the solution. Scientists of Canada have discovered and created a machine that can trap the CO2 of the atmosphere. This machine can trap between 1-2 tons CO2 per day, it is not so much but it is a good figure. With this CO2 scientists make ecological fuels. To do this, they have to pull apart the carbon and the oxygen and then they have to add hydrogen to them. Presently there are only two factories in the World that collect this CO2 from the atmosphere but I´m sure that in the future there will be more, because one of the biggest advantages of this eco-fuel is that the CO2 from its combustion is compensated with the C02 that we trap before from the atmosphere. Have you ever thought how will be our life in the future? We don´t know. Maybe pollution will have destroyed the earth. Or maybe we can travel to others planets on holidays. Who knows?
The experts have written a lot of different theories about this theme. They say that out cities will grow in number and size in the near future. In 2050, 66% of the world´s population will live in urban environments (in 2014 the 44% of the world´s population lives in cities) so we have to solve some differents problems. The first problem that it´s already being addressed is the huge demand of food in combination with a shortage of land. The solution for this problem is vertical crops. The cars and other vehicles' pollution is a big problem of the towns that we have to solve too. One of the solutions for this problem is fomenting the use of electric cars or using public busses or maybe it will be solved with flying cars or aero-trains. Definitely, we can't know with certanty what is going to happen with our cities but we know that we have to do something to make them better, with out pollution and with traffic or noise problems. Hi, my name is Diego. In this blog I´m going to talk about differents topic. At first I´m going to talk about things which are relationated with our actual society. But maybe in future I will change the topic for another one which can be more interesting for all. I hope you like what I'm going to write here and that you can learn something new here!!!!!
