I I Sc to hire transport experts-Express News item

I always wondered at how our transportation experts have created a mess in our country. There is no viable solution to the current congestion problems in the city and they are bereft of ideas. At the drop of a hat, they will rush off to Brazil or Singapore for copying their solutions to their problems, without relation to our peculiar conditions, both cultural and city growth patterns dictated by history.

Worse still is that they lack integrity to be willing and ready to produce what the non-expert administrator demands as the solution, merely to help transfer of our wealth to foreign suppliers. More galling is that the IAS and other administrative officers overnight become "the experts" , by gaining tourist knowledge of the underground /elevated metro rail or BRTS , returning after a world tour visiting them and taking a ride for a few days. Then they solemnly proclaim the solution.

There is no depth of knowledge and open mind to honestly stick to world's norms for safety in public transportation even among those who are expected to learn and have knowledge. Ego takes over.

Our India could have led the world with their Skybus innovation, satisfying the world's UIC standards and better than current metro rails, being derailment free and flexible to follow roads, financially viable, world class as commented by Prof C.K Prahlad who visited the system, declared as technically sound by persons like Dr Abdul Kalam and Dr Anil Kakodakr as well as a Commissioner for Railway Safety and supported by the premiere safety certifying agency like TUV Germany.

But we live in self-denial and the menial mentality to get rich quick with foreign money to be stashed outside ; projects which need imports alone are favoured.

May be I I Sc is better off as they are. There is no honour in becoming a paid facilitating agent to drain the country's wealth.

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

  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?

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...
