As a kid in the school I had read about this wonderful bird called ‘Arctic Tern’. The life of this bird fascinated me a lot because it is the only species which covers earth from one pole to other, and that too every year! Even we humans with such advanced technology dont travel so much [...]

“If the human brain were so simple that we could understand it, then we would be so simple that we wouldn’t have been able to understand it ” – Emerson
Where do we draw the line about the complexity of an issue and the human ability to understand/resolve it?
Are we limited by our thinking ability?

Why did the Ancient Indians invent Zero ?
To indicate Nothing in a place value based numerical system, like the binary, decimal etc.
So in the number 101, 0 means there is NO value in the tenth’s place. If there was no zero then 101 should have been written as 11, which leaves no room to differentiate [...] - Dec 07710 Comments
Man being an animal who can think, reason and conclude on the one hand, also believes in things for which no known solid scientific proof exists. Why is that?
There are things like astrology, god, prayer, omens, etc and many of us believe in it. And yet there is no solid scientific basis for it. Why [...] - Nov 07139 Comments
One of the greatest mysteries of quantum mechanics is non-locality.
Non locality is if you take two quantum particles that were twins and separate them billions of miles apart, and then do something to one particle here, the other particle billions of light years away will immediately come to know about what you did to that [...] - Nov 071224 Comments
Just had a passing thought while thinking about the reason as to why modern science is finding it difficult to come to terms with the finest details of universe like consciousness, awareness, particle non-locality, quantum teleportation, etc.
The reason I think is,
Modern science tries to formulate everything into the way our human brains can understand. It [...] - Oct 071914 Comments

Who is wise? The one who thinks otherwise
Who is a fool? The one who thinks otherwise
Who is ignorant? The one who doesnt know that there is something to think!
Or in other words.
People who know that they know, and also know that there is only what they know are not wise.
People who know that there is [...] - Oct 07518 Comments
The greatest asset of being a human is the ability to imagine
When there is a problem at an unknown level, one of the ideal ways to solve it quickly would be to look for a symmetrical existence at a known level.
For instance, while trying to imagine how a 4-dimensional Cube or a 4-dimensional sphere would [...] - Sep 07226 Comments
Rational thinking is thought based on logic supported by scientific facts and evidences.
But many rational thoughts depend on whether the science has expanded and investigated into the areas that are currently being debated.
And over a period of time rational thoughts become irrational and vice versa.
A millenium back it was rational in Europe to think that [...] - Sep 07198 Comments

Time flies like an arrow Fruit-flies like a banana!
A funny quote indeed. But why does time fly like an arrow, always in the same direction? From past to future. Or does it?
I have been curious about this time ever since I read A Brief History of Time while in high school.
There is no law in [...] - Sep 07115 Comments
How long a minute is depends on which side of the bathroom door youre on.
The countries that are yet to occupy a great power status simply cant wait any longer and want to occupy that power seat as soon as possible.
On the other hand the countries that are currently great powers, are simply not [...] - Sep 07210 Comments
One of the blog readers commented on my earlier article The Evolution of God , with an idea of equating Human+God relation to Computer+Human relation by saying:
A future day analogy: I have often thought about a generation of computers which can think by themselves and reproduce (may be computers themselves control manufacture). And there [...] - Aug 07229 Comments
Vrooom!!
He appears suddenly from nowhere !!!
Helps you out of your current troubled situation.. and before you could respond..
Vrooom!! he suddenly disappears out of your sight into nothing!!
Well, we are used to seeing many such movies, tele-series, etc where Gods, super humans etc are known to appear and disappear instantaneously!
So I was [...] - Aug 072027 Comments
There has been a lot of research going on in the field of Artificial Intelligence, where software programs would be made to think and behave like humans, there by providing us with a more friendly user interface.
For instance, think about a software powered robotic interface which can act as your assistant, work as your house [...] - Aug 0765 Comments
65 millions years ago!!
At the end of the mesozoic era..
Let us assume that the dinosaurs never got destroyed..
Let us assume that the mighty asteroid that hit earth or the super volcano that erupted or the global climatic change that took place never happened 65 million years ago..
So the dinosaurs moved on in the evolutionary ladder.. [...] - Jul 07119 Comments

The chase went [...] - Jun 07133 Comments
One of the visitors to the blog requested me to write about matter-antimatter and bigbang. Cosmology is one of my most favorite subjects! So here we go!
As we know the observable universe is expanding! Going back in time, we reach a point where the entire universe had been collapsed to a point singularity called the [...]
