Fool-proof UID? I am concerned.

The other day Sri Nilekani assured the press that UID will be fool-proof while signing an MOU with AP government agencies for getting the work done on a pilot project basis.

The proven performance of government in issuing iris based ration cards, simple photograph based voter cards gives reasons for serious concern and the confidence of Sri Nilakani may be unwarranted. Million plus bogus ration cards cry out.

Even a genuine person with UID will get into identity crisis because multiple agencies are involved the way Nilekani is signing MOU s and it will be a nightmarish situation with poor accountabily and complex paper trail and practically absent audit trail, compromising data integrity quite seriously.

Finally undesired elements will manage the cover of UID properly to further complicate the situation because of poor loosely administered process involving multiple disparate contract based data collection and entry.

Ultimately UID may become more an abused process to authenticate illegal immigrants and terrorists.

I wish we had a single point responsibility and single point one time authenticated data entry with encrypted wide area communication based network in position.

Verification and validation processes at the time of issue and post issue stages, and while in use, pose stupendous challenges.

Further UID is not needed by any one for ration or for tax or for any other purpose and so why any one is under pressure to get one?

Lack of UID cannot be made an offence. It is a catch22 situation. I can only empathise with Nilekani.

It looks like a doomed project and wonder who will be the scape goat.

What no IAS man wanted, has been palmed off to him.

Nilekani is innocent in our government's ways of working.

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?

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...
