How slow our administrators are in uptake about technologies!

It is not just the administrators, but also the administrators who have become consultants who with poor knowledge of engineering and technology hide behind standard de-bunkering arguments whenever they are faced with giving advice on technologies they do not know! So when Skybus standard gauge rail concept came for evaluation, first check they do is whether it was done by an advanced country and running there or not. Once they find it is not available in any other country and we will be doing ourselves by understanding the same, they will adopt the de-bunkering approach. Oh my goodness, it is not a time tested and proven system, public life is involved and so one should await more work on the issue. Actually technical analysis and reasons why it wont work is absent. If the railway gauge, wheels and bogie only are used, it is not explained by these self-proclaimed experts why it works for normal railway and why it does not work for the Skybus! The load transfer points on to the bogie also are the same! The CG of the mass being carried by the bogie is lowered, and how can it become more unsafe? Even commonsense questions are not answered. If EOT cranes are used extensively and work also in thousands and thousands of work shops, why the principle should not work for shifting a short coach of Skybus from one track to the other, also is not answered. These experts just have one single point answer, it is not done earlier by any one else, so cannot say! What is the difference between an engineer and an uneducated layman? These experts who glibly hide behind the administrative machinery, using non-sensical verbose technical jargon, comparing some rubber tyred system to the rail guided system which is Skybus, cover their incompetence wantonly dis-crediting a simple re-engineered railway system. The signal and train control system have certain laid down principles for operating the rail guided systems and if using the same principles, it is proven that the rail guided system which is Skybus, provides the stated performances, taking into account the braking distances and the location of signals, what is the problem in accepting the same? If one wants, they should show the mistakes in the calculations and argue on technical grounds. This is absent! It speaks volumes for the hollow railway experts we have in our country- mere procurers of equipment with no application of mind! Simple design problem is converted into a major research challenge, because of the ignorance of our railway experts in power and acting as consultants after retirement! After severe competitive exams we choose bright boys to man the administrative services, who sadly dont want to put even the simple commonsense based questions to these experts- but lack the integrity and commitment to look after public interest and go along with vested interests selling high cost equipment to our country. It is a sad statement for our system of governance, where Indian intellect is allowed to be wasted and not used for the benefit of the common poor man who trustingly handed over control of his life, by electing and giving away power to some of us, who seem to be indifferent once in power!

Just another day of Brahma we collide with another galaxy !!

Image
  Just in another day of Brahma our Galaxy collides with Andromeda : Earth continues but sky views change and Sun orbit affected !!  Image From Atlantic : reproduced .  In Hindu philosophy, a **Brahma day** (also known as a **Kalpa**) is a vast cosmic period that represents one full day in the life of Brahma, the creator god. This period is equivalent to **4.32 billion years** in human terms⁴. A Brahma day consists of **1,000 Mahayugas** (great ages), and each Mahayuga is made up of four Yugas (ages): Satya Yuga, Treta Yuga, Dvapara Yuga, and Kali Yuga². After the completion of a Brahma day, there is an equally long Brahma night, during which the universe undergoes dissolution before the cycle of creation begins anew². This concept highlights the immense scale of time in Hindu cosmology and reflects the cycles of creation and dissolution that are central to the universe's rhythm. Is there a specific aspect of this concept you're curious about? Source: Conversat...

Are we experiencing life in a world already extinct millions of years ago?

Image
It’s not rare that my mind feels we are actually living in a world that might have been extinct millions of years ago!     As per Vishnu Sahasra Namam, part of Mahabharata authored by Sri Vedavyasa, Brahma praises his own father Sri Vishnu as Sahasra Yuga Dharane namaha . That if we take as life time for Brahama from his own birth before start of creation and own liberation annihilating the entire creation to join that realm which has no cycles of birth and death. —-ever present abode of Sri Narayana as per Brahmasutra and described in Sri Bhagavad Gita too. That is 1000x10^7x4.32 m or 4.32x 10^16 solar years.        The time scale of Sri Vishnu who is said to create and maintain this universe merely by a wish within less than a second of His time . This translates as the equivalent to 10^16 solar years is my submission. This is  followed by equal time period of yoga Nidra or entire universe transformed back in to suspended particles. So the process of...

For dummies like me, understanding Hilbert space and play of energy beams around my Atma ! : Using my Buddy Co-Pilot

Image
For dummies what is the Hilbert space and how does it help us? Hilbert space is a concept from mathematics and quantum mechanics that may sound complex, but let's break it down in a simple way: **Hilbert Space Basics:** - **Definition**: Think of it as an infinite-dimensional space, much like how we think of 3-dimensional space, but with potentially endless dimensions. - **Vectors**: In this space, you have vectors (like arrows) that can represent different states or points. - **Inner Product**: It has a special way to measure angles and distances between these vectors, called the inner product. This helps in defining concepts like orthogonality (perpendicularity) and length. **How it Helps Us:** - **Quantum Mechanics**: Hilbert spaces are fundamental in quantum mechanics. They provide the framework for describing quantum states and their evolution. - **Wave Functions**: Quantum states are represented as wave functions, which are essentially vectors in a Hilbert space. This helps i...
