Floppy Disks Hard Drive

Hard drives have been around longer than you
think. In 1956, I. B. M. had invented a disk

is the equivalent to three and one half floppy
disks. Originally called fixed disks later became
known as hard disks opposed to floppy disks. In
1973, I. B. M. released a hard drive that could

M P H Black Hole

Black holes are objects so dense that not even
light can escape their gravity, and since nothing
can travel faster than light, nothing can escape
from inside a black hole. Loosely speaking, a
black hole is a region of space that has so much
mass concentrated in it that there is no way for a
nearby object to escape its gravitational pull.
Since our best theory of gravity at the moment is
Einsteins general theory of relativity, we have to
delve into some results of this theory to
