Xerox----company which makes the copying machine.
But we are using the name xerox in the place of copy, like if a person looks like his father, we tell him that he is the xerox copy of his father in his younger years.

hi Bhargavi,
this is what i got from ENCHANTED LEARNING SOFTWARE HOME PAGE
MARCONI, GUGLIELMO
Guglielmo Marconi (1874-1937) was an Italian inventor and physicist. In 1895, Marconi invented the radio (wireless telegraphy), building machinery to transmit and receive radio waves. His first transmission across an ocean (the <?xml:namespace prefix = st1 ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-comffice:smarttags" /><st1lace>Atlantic Ocean</st1lace>) was on <st1:date Month="12" Day="12" Year="1901">December 12, 1901</st1:date>. Marconi won the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1909.

RADIO
The radio was invented by Nikola Tesla. The radio was promoted and popularized by Guglielmo Marconi in 1895. The first radio transmission across an ocean (the <st1lace>Atlantic Ocean</st1lace>) occurred on <st1:date Month="12" Day="12" Year="1901">December 12, 1901</st1:date>.

Samuel Finley Breese Morse (1791-1872) was an American inventor and painter. After a successful career painting in oils (first painting historical scenes and then portraits), Morse built the first American telegraph around 1835 (the telegraph was also being developed independently in <st1lace>Europe</st1lace>).
A telegraph sends electrical signals over a long distance, through wires. In 1830, Joseph Henry (1797-1878) made the first long-distance telegraphic device - he sent an electric current for over a mile on wire that activated an electromagnet, causing a bell to ring.
MORSE
Morse patented a working telegraph machine in 1837, with help from his business partners Leonard Gale and Alfred Vail. Morse used a dots-and-spaces code for the letters of the alphabet and the numbers (Morse Code was later improved to use dots, dashes and spaces: for example E is dot, T is dash, A is dot-dash, N is dash-dot, O is dash-dash-dash, I is dot-dot, S is dot-dot-dot, etc.). By 1838, Morse could send 10 words per minute. Congress provided funds for building a telegraph line between <st1lace><st1:City>Washington</st1:City> <st1:State>D.C.</st1:State></st1lace> and <st1lace><st1:City>Baltimore</st1:City>, <st1:State>Maryland</st1:State></st1lace>, in 1843. Morse sent the first telegraphic message (from <st1lace><st1:City>Washington</st1:City> <st1:State>D.C.</st1:State></st1lace> to <st1:City><st1lace>Baltimore</st1lace></st1:City>) on <st1:date Month="5" Day="24" Year="1844">May 24, 1844</st1:date>; the message was: "What hath God wrought?" The telegraph revolutionized long-distance communication.

What will happen if the earth stops spinning?

Hi sri,
Will it lose gravity power ?

bye,
karthika.

 

hi Karthika,
You are right. It will have a crash with the Sun. ( This explanation was given by my son who is 10years old.) Wanted to verify the second explanation. Is it true?
