Yet in addition to masterpieces such as Ode to a Nightingale and To Autumn, Keats’ legacy includes a remarkable concept: what he called “negative capability.” The idea – which centres on suspending judgment about something in order to learn more about it – remains as vital today as when he first wrote about it.

In the same way, the Covid-19 pandemic turned the worlds of many people upside down, the poet had developed a deep sense of life’s uncertainties. Keats  was born in London in 1795 .

Why Earth is spinning faster?

  According to Daily Mail, since 2020, every day is taking less than 24 hours Scientists believe that Earth may be spinning faster than it has in over 50 years owing to the change in the speed of the earth’s rotation, which has increased over the last 5 decades. Several scientists have spoken about the unusual phenomenon, with some pointing out that this past year saw some of the shortest days ever recorded. Let’s read about the phenomenon and its reasons behind it… According to Daily Mail, since 2020, every day is taking less than 24 hours.According to the researchers, the Earth has completed its revolutions around its axis milliseconds quicker than average. The planet’s rotation varies slightly all the time depending upon the variations in atmospheric pressure, winds, ocean currents, and the movement of the core.

Keeping the fundamentals aside, the next motto is self-evaluation which includes questions like, what do I want my students to learn? What could be done to instil the concept into their minds? Later, the teacher must also
