What actually was the first domain?

I just came across a news on Winfuture: First change after 25 years the domain owner . This article is the talk of the Symbolics.com domain, which should have been probably the first registered domain. That's true but only partly. Symbolics.com was indeed the first one. Com domain, but not the first domain that has ever been registered as the first.

According to Wikipedia the first domain has been nordu.net, on 1 January 1985 registered. Only on 15 March 1985, so 3 months later, registered the domain Symbolics.com of the same company.

So, enough geklugscheißt today.

Daily knowing better ... Why fish do not die when lightning strikes?

Here again one serving knowing better!

This time it comes to the question: "Why do fish die in the sea is not actually when einschägt a flash? Water is still conductive. "

The answer to this question is actually pretty simple. Although water is conductive, but also a certain resistance. The deeper one is in the water, the lower the voltage at the point. In a short radius, the voltage V at nearly a million! When a fish is now in the water, there on his head a different voltage than at its tail. The differential voltage is then carried his body to the voltage flows through him. If the fish is far enough away, he must have been lucky and it happens in the nothingness. He is, however, are close to fried fish.

Clear so far? Well, then,

Cheers!
