What a wonderful sight for self-realization


Yesterday's solar eclipse reminds us that our existence is hanging in space. A fast-moving star (the Sun), Earth, and the Moon all come into alignment in such a way as to cause an eclipse. This shows that science is the right approach to understanding our existence in the universe. 

What a wonderful sight to realize how tiny we are in this vast space-time. 

If all the warring parties in the world could truly self-analyze, then the world would be a beautiful, peaceful place to live.

Albert Einstein is a true genius!


Albert Einstein's birthday is March 14th. He revolutionized the concepts of space, time, and gravity. Before his theories of 'The Special Theory of Relativity' and 'The General Theory of Relativity', space and time had been considered absolute and unaffected by the motions surrounding them. That thinking changed right after his theories on relativity were published. His theories proved that space and time were not absolute but relative. Also, space and time are no longer separate entities but have become inseparable space-time. Gravity was not a force but rather the result of the geometrical distortion caused by the mass of an object on the surrounding space-time.

Stephen Hawking: A Successful Fighter for Survival


March 14th is Stephen Hawking's death anniversary date. Not only his knowledge but also his life surprised medical doctors and all of us. He was diagnosed with a neurological disease and expected to survive only another six months, but he surprised everyone by living many more decades. He even married and divorced twice, and had children. He was the father of three children.

My Thoughts on Global Security, the Future of Mankind, and the Solar System!


The current world order is highly biased, being managed by powerful Western countries focused on their national security. Instead, it should be rooted in global security. Due to this flaw in the current world order, whenever conflicts or genocides occur, even though the majority of the world opposes them, the powerless are forced to witness the carnage.

Simultaneously, powerful nations, while supplying arms to those unleashing genocidal wars, take no action to prevent destruction and genocide. Historical instances, such as the Nazi slaughter of Jews, West Pakistan's suppression of East Pakistan, Sri Lanka's war on Tamil's armed struggle in 2009, and the Rwandan conflict, exemplify delayed international intervention. Currently, Israel's relentless bombing in Gaza reflects a continuation of this pattern.

Albert Einstein Revolutionized the Concepts of Space and Time!


Albert Einstein was introduced to me by my dad in my childhood. He made a scrapbook using construction papers featuring photographs of many prominent personalities from around the world. That scrapbook also included pictures of famous places worldwide. One of the personalities featured in the scrapbook was Albert Einstein.

His theories of General relativity and special relativity are the reasons for my liking him. Until Newton, space and time were considered absolute; they were not affected by any movements happening around them.

Why do I love to read scientific books on Astrophysics?


I love reading these books because they are thought-provoking. Two of my favorite writers in this field are Michio Kaku and Brian Greene.

The problem lies in our limited perception of the universe. Even though we cannot comprehend how billions of transistors exist within a chip, their invisibility to our naked eyes does not negate their existence; they are real.

Mathematical models depict parallel universes and wormholes, and I believe in their potential existence. I also believe in teleportation, although it remains in its early stages.
