I dont remember even in my wildest dream I have ever thought of measuring my laugh.
I know you must be laughing right now.And you know what, you can measure this particular laugh too.
What if Albert Einstein will hear this news from his grave??
I guess either he will die once again laughing or measuring his laugh.
Well enough of SAD ones.....
Before I introduce you with "THE SPECIAL ONE", I just want to give you a summary of other units which are available at our disposal.
There are 8 so called fundamental units (kilogram,meter,candela, second, ampere, kelvin and mole) for physical quantities from which every other unit can be generated. But fortunately or unfortunately our hero "laughter" is out of scope of these 8 units.
Its just like one of the favourite Amitabh Bachchan and now SRK's dialogue...... "Don ke peeche 11 mulq ki police peeche padi hai. Don ko pakadna mushquil hi nahi namunkin hai".
Ok ok.... I am coming to the point, unit of laughter is "aH".
Researchers at Kansai University have reportedly crafted a machine that can "scientifically measure the quantity of a person's laughter, as well as distinguish between the real and the fake." It's collected by a series of electrode sensors that monitor "bioelectricity generated by certain muscles that flex when you chuckle." Best of all, they've actually created a unit of measure to quantify their findings (aH), which certainly removes any doubt that all of this is just some elaborate joke.
To measure laughter, they attaches sensors on the skin of a tested subject's stomach, particularly the diaphragm, and detects muscle movements. The machine looks 3,000 times a second at electric elements normally produced in the body.By checking the movement of the diaphragm and other parts of the body, it will be possible to see if a person is only pretending to laugh while also distinguishing different types of laughter such as derision and cynicism.
So beware you cannot pretend to laugh.
They have found that children laugh more freely, releasing 10 aH per second, which is about twice as much as an adult. This justifies the axiom which has been prevailing all through the ages.
It is said that laughter is the best medicine.....and now there is a device and a unit too to measure the dose of this best medicine.
Now the next time you go to a departmental store dont get shocked if you see a laughing measuring device .And when you buy it dont forget to tell me how much aH do you laugh a day.
complicated !! aH aH :P
ReplyDeleteNice..Varun..Ill score atleast 100 aH :)
