Is it true that there is a person who looks like you?

The team concluded that the chances of someone looking exactly like someone else in all eight features is about one in 1 trillion. This means: There's definitely a mathematical chance for two doppelgängers to exist, but it's highly unlikely. Mostly people do not come across doppelgangers of themselves.

Your face is one of your most unique features and is usually what people remember you for. With more than 7 billion people inhabiting our planet, it may not seem so unlikely that someone out there could resemble you. But that uniqueness may not be entirely true as the probability of your “twin” walking around is higher than you might expect! “Today I saw somebody who looked just like you,” is a line from You Are Everything, a famous classic love song by Marvin Gaye on the heartache of a lover who longs for a former flame, and coincidentally sees a person who looks exactly like her. Dhurga Devi and Thavamalar could be mistaken for being the same person. But they are actually completely unrelated. They are doppelgängers – two people who share uncanny facial resemblance. What’s even more interesting is that they work in the same department at Sunway Medical Centre.

How do you define a doppelgänger?

Doppelgängers (German for “double walker”) are non-biologically related lookalikes – they are not genetically related to you nor do they have any connection to your family history, but for some odd reason, have similar features to you.

What are the likelihood of you having a living doppelgängers?

Folk wisdom has it that everyone has a doppelgängers; somewhere out there there’s an almost perfect duplicate of you, with your mother’s eyes, your father’s nose and that annoying mole you’ve always wanted to have removed. Apparently there is a one in 135 chance that there’s a single pair of complete doppelgängers. The team concluded that the chances of someone looking exactly like someone else in all eight features is about one in 1 trillion. This means: There’s definitely a mathematical chance for two doppelgängers to exist, but it’s highly unlikely. “The human face is extraordinarily unique. I mean think about it. The chance has to be quite low otherwise you would be bumping into people who looked like you all the time, and you don’t,” said Sir Walter Bodmer, a professor of human genetics from the University of Oxford.

Doppelgängers at Sunway Group spotted!

In the days leading up to the annual Sunway Family Day event, we ran a lookalike contest amongst Sunway colleagues in search of their doppelgängers called Pelanduk Dua Serupa. Although the overall chance of finding someone who resembles you is really very small, surprisingly we got quite a decent number of submissions amongst Sunway family. Here is the list of winners!

How long does magnetic attraction last?

A permanent magnet if kept and used in optimum working conditions will keep its magnetism for years. It's estimated that neodymium magnets only lose approximately 5% of their magnetism every 100 years.

A permanent magnet if kept and used in optimum working conditions will keep its magnetism for years. It’s estimated that neodymium magnets only lose approximately 5% of their magnetism every 100 years. Optimum working conditions include not subjecting a magnet to temperatures above its maximum operating temperatures, protecting the magnet from corrosion, and finally not subjecting them to strong demagnetising fields.

How long will a neodymium magnet last?

Neodymium magnets are permanent magnets and lose a fraction of their performance every 100 years if maintained within their optimum working conditions.

There are two factors that can shorten a magnet’s lifespan.

Heat

If the temperature of a magnet exceeds the maximum operating temperature, then the magnet will lose magnetism that will not be recovered on cooling. The maximum operating temperature of N42 Neodymium magnets is 80°C. Samarium Cobalt magnets are not quite as strong as Neodymium magnets but they do have a much higher operating temperature of up to 350°C.

Corrosion

If the plating on a magnet is damaged and water can get inside, the magnet will rust and again this will result in a deterioration in magnetic performance. Samarium Cobalt magnets and Ferrite magnets are both resistant to corrosion but aren’t as strong as Neodymium magnets.
