Geopolitics at Pause

 Geopolitics at Pause

As an author there is a self-giving freedom for imagination and a diplomatic freedom of expressing the same. Not all thoughts germinating from the mind of an author is received with openness. Critics are part of the play. This article will have no less a surprise if critics emerge from any part of the digital wave.

Geopolitics is a stage where invariably all countries from all identified continents participate. Players are many and all of their focus will be centric to economics. Strangely, countries with divided opinion come out on the stage as paired ones expressing strong hatred. Every geopolitical event gets magnetized between such two countries that confront to divide the globe.

War for supremacy, race in conquering space, race in exhibiting supremacy in war strategies, race for putting up leading technological progresses, race in development in medical expertise, economic race for dominance, race for currency supremacy, and the list keep adding every passing day.

When two countries with rich history, progressive thoughts, facing each other as opponents on global stage decide to shred away their differences, set in a pact for openness, evolve a plan for trusting each other, respecting each other's intrinsic goodwill, signing a historic document to never show any sign of hatred between them, accepting mutually benefitting trade formulas, integrating by way of respect to respect and honor both its citizens, ensuring a stronger bond that cannot be diluted by any envying nation, agreeing to share their natural richness of resources for progressive future, agreeing never to edge out each other for dominance, will set the act of Geopolitics at pause. 

Which two countries could, with privilege in qualification, participate in a futuristic act such as one dreamed in the previous paragraph is an open option for readers to fill in their mind. Many readers may weigh different combinations as options to test the pattern set in the dream that can pause critics of geopolitics for the next 100 years. 

Many may start with the US and Russia, Russia and Ukraine, Iran and Israel, Egypt and Israel, India and Pakistan, North and South Korea, Japan and China, and many more. As an author, I too, use the privilege of choice from many options available. It just struck that these two countries should have a rich cultural history that complemented each other all the way back in time. 

That two countries which had rich cultural history that complemented each other, having huge potential for mutual economic activities, rich is participative markets, not keen to exercise supremacy by war and conflict, interested in diluting all differences grown in passing times, ensuring trusted transparency in agreement, agreeing to pay mammoth cost of significant proportion if breaking the trust bond, and going ahead to shake hands and sign the mutual and powerful document that will silence all critics, start to worry international economist, mute all international critics and cause a pause on geopolitics will be the first two highly populated nations in Asia. 

If an honest pact of trust between the two most populated nations in Asia happen, then all superpowers will be in a state of muted shock. To do or not to do is not in our hands, to dream and not to dream is a personal choice. But unbending super-powers will simply have sleepless hours in years to come if something like that happen.

Technology and Spirituality

 Technology and Spirituality

Technology and Spirituality may seem to be a mix of water and oil or something two events moving in the opposite direction. But it actually may not be that way to understand. Technology and Spirituality has some uniqueness, both are on a progressive side. They both move their adaptors or, to catch the right word, users in pattern of progress. 

A stagnated technology and the stagnated spirituality cannot hold people together for a long time. People basically need change, change in ideas, change in the way they do things, change that keeps them busy in syncing with what is happening around them.

Spirituality may prefer to stay out of the lane meant for technology, but in reality, it is not possible for that to happen. Spirituality always believes that there is something greater than an individual. All the forces beyond the reach and control of humans are deposited into spirituality. 

Interestingly, technology is something that aims to reach out and control things that were not humanly possible. With little realization, people still do not understand, that every technological development, breaks down old spiritual understand and rebuilds newer ones in their mind.

May a time people feel like coming closer to spiritual realization, knowing more about self, but in each of such advancements there is a setback which secretly raises spiritual platforms to new heights making people travel the added length by marching towards it.

If for experimental purpose humans stop technological advancements for next few years, the pattern of their living will make them so mechanical, a repetitive living being, they will literally have no feel for a spiritual realization, because nothing is any more challenging. Everything looks to be so programmed that it happens systematically, even without any indulgence and interventions of humans. 

In such a condition, man will be another creature in nature like all other creatures, accepting the life the way it is spread out. Such situations will make humans come very close to nature and the closeness will be such that acceptance of events programmed and planning to live with it will be the only mechanized preference giving no scope for spiritual journey. In fact, in such a case people may not need a spiritual enlighten because nothing is going to change.

This very monotonous patterns are broken by technological advancements; by bringing new technologies we also bring in new challenges, and the march towards tackling such new challenges becomes a priority. It is then that the humans imagine existence of powers beyond their reach. It is only then humans believe in spirituality.

As technology progress and develop, spirituality is taken to new heights. Technology becomes tangible force and spirituality becomes an intangible force. Technology will never nullify spirituality and spirituality will never halt technological progress. The fate of technology and that of spirituality are embedded in each other.

Power of an Economy

 Power of an Economy

Economics teaches how to manage resources that are scarce. Economics once was human centric. It will talk more about demand and supply in relation to resources based on needs and wants. Satisfying human needs and wants using available resources to maximize satisfaction and score in profits used to be the key element in economics. 

Current day economics has enlarged its scope of analysis and entered many new areas needing economic inputs. Agricultural economics, Climate economics, Water economics, Health economics, Rare-metal economics, Space economics, Military economics, Social-Political economics, and many more. Looks like scarcity is not scattered but spread over everywhere and in all things. 

Any society needs to keep itself economically active and agile. Digital revolution has put more stress and strain on economics both directly and indirectly. Many fields of business went into fold and many new businesses started to unfold. All looks to be an integral part of economics.

Then what could be the real power, the core power factor, in any economic system. Could it be wealth? Could it be resources? Could it be humans? Could it be technology? Interestingly that which keeps itself dynamic will stand a place at the center of any economic system. Anything that remain static will lose its economic importance over a period in time. 

Two significant parameters simply locked itself in a couple in the current economic framework. One is technology and the other is humans. Both technology and humans are dynamic, and both play a significant role in keeping the cycle of economics functional. Imagine two states of affairs, one where technology compliment humans and the other where technology disturbs humans.

Situation where technology compliment humans result is a positive economic health. The same cannot be true when technology causes distress to humans. Economics see negative trends when technology gives distress to humans. 

A society has its own stratification. The society is fit into three segments based on the economic power of its people. This stratification evolved the poor class, the middle class and the rich class. People are mapped into any of these three-class based on their economic strength, in other words, their purchasing power. 

Many nations with a strong middle-class base proved to be a healthy economic state. More this middle-class is kept protected and functional more will be the goodness in economic functions. Any nation that losses its middle-class or any nation that shrinks its middle-class will enter into economic crisis. 

Middle-class people in a society are the core and real power of economics. Any technological initiatives and developments that causes distress to this middle-class will cause a huge irreparable damage to its economic function. It is for the head of states, for the people in power and for the people in technological initiatives to ensure that this resourceful middle-class should not be put to distress, should not be shrunk, should not be made scarce.

The Philosophy of Bonding

The Philosophy of Bonding

The debate on explanations on the famous saying of Heraclitus saying no one crosses the same river twice. It indicates changing waters or the changing times or even the changing experiences. But once a man commits an error on a situation thereafter in a similar situation, he will not commit the same error.

More a man knows more he moves towards the unknown.

Mind is a unique organ that can never be completely understood by its keeper.  All experiences are eventfully coded by the mind, the funniest things in bonding all these codes. If the mind is asked to bond glass tumbler and water, then it easily fits a picture of a water filled glass tumbler. When mind is asked to bond a hand full of jasmine flower it simply bonds a handful of jasmine flowers with its fragrance and color.

In the process of bonding the mind tries to set a pattern already experienced or set a new pattern that will be logically correct and understandable. For instance, mind has experiences wind and mind has also experienced spider web. When the mind is asked to bond spider web and the wind this is a challenge. Mind has never experienced a situation where both the wind and spider web were connected. This throws a discomfort is trying to collaborate the wind and the spider web.

Both the data of the wind and the spider web are part of the data in the mind but yet the collaboration process is not easily achieved. Mind may know a data but still may not know it. This is a paradoxical situation. When the same task is pushed in to Artificial Intelligence the task is well executed by giving an output. Here what the mind could not do is executed by the AI.

Mind always rely on logical connectivity and banks on a good quantum of experience data. But in Artificial Intelligence this need not be present. It was giving an output which may not satisfy everything logically and it may not have experienced it either.

It was a unique experience to request AI to generate images. The task depended on the prompt. A situational prompt was presented and was tagged to “classic painting” it did give a good output. To take the task further the prompt was changed from “classical painting’ to ‘Philosophical painting” or “Musical painting” or “Poetic painting” the output was not the same in all three.

Does these tasks exhibit a limit to the perception formation of the logical mind, if yes, then is not the AI scenario better in task orientation than the mind. AI is capable of connecting two non-related things to give an output which may or may not be logically correct, nevertheless, it completed the task. But when the same task is given to the mind it fumbles to give a logical output. Is the fear of giving an output of two unrelated things based on logical perfection?

Human mind will not cross the same river twice, but AI will not hesitate to cross.

The Viscosity of a Debate

The Viscosity of a Debate

In a debate where opinions are discussed there is a race between participants where individuals argue their ways to win over the others. Taking the principle of viscosity of fluid and applying to debate an experimental trial can be evolved to arrive at a plan for winning the debate.

The terms Viscosity and Debate are as follows:

Viscosity of a fluid is the resistance the fluid exhibits to flow or the resistance it exhibits to an external object moving in it.

Debate is a discussion between people in which they express different opinions about something related to the discussion.

An external object can pass through to reach a particular depth in the fluid of high viscosity if:

The object is sent with a greater amount of force.

The object generates a quantum of heat to reduce the viscosity of the fluid.

The object can generate mass as it goes down the fluid.

In a debate the person needs to weigh the opponent’s potential to debate and also the will to hold on to a debate. This analysis needs to be done prior to any debate. During the process of a debate the debater can break the resistivity and move deep into the debate with advantage, provided the relevant points with uniqueness are shot into the debate forcefully at appropriate time intervals causing a weakening in the response resistivity formulation of the opponent.

2.    Creating a heated sequence at appropriate time intervals during the debate where the opponent slides into losing of balance causing a weakness in resistivity

3.     The debater can keep adding weight to their presentation by adding relevant but unforeseen points to the debate, and

4.     The debater can also add irrelevant but foreseen points into the debate to put the opponent into a phase of disorientation.

Any debate will be challenging because it holds on to the principle of uncertainty. No debater can say with certainty the response mechanism of their opponent. In such frame of debates the opponent has to be viewed like a fluid with greater viscosity.  

Formula for Viscosity is   F=µA (u/y)

F is the force of the debater

µ is the content factor of the debate

A is the scope of the debate.

u is the advantage data to enhance capitalizing the debate

y is the disadvantage data to destabilize the opponent

“A person as a debater will see success when there be focus on the content of the debate keeping the scope of the debate at a manageable level with building the content of the debate on structured data of advantage to capitalize and using timely presentation of disadvantage data to destabilize the opponent.”


The Data of Unfamiliarity

The Data of Unfamiliarity

Familiarity is a set of data already accumulated and processed for knowledge. All living creatures are functioning in a relatively easy environment where all data is processed and stored. These processed Data is stored in a set under Familiarity.

Familiarity gives confidence and a deep sense of the feeling that all is well and nothing to worry. Every interaction of living creatures is processed in swift section of time with the data they encounter, and it is mapped with the library already carrying huge data of familiar and already experienced conditions. This puts the living creatures to quickly recognize the interaction and proceed to the next stage of response. 

The basic algorithm of all living creatures is to scan any interaction for familiarity. If the creature experiences an event unfamiliar then within section of time triggers a response that this new set of data experienced is unfamiliar puts the receiver at crossroads. The nearest possible mapping is initiated to find out if there is any threat. If the answer be in affirmative the creature instantly exits from that interaction. Even if a smallest fraction of the mapping confirms that there is no threat then the next step in progress to approach the interaction with caution is initiated.

When creature moves into the platform of exhibiting caution in the smallest segment of time all sense organs start to transmit all possible data with regards to the unfamiliar interaction to the mind. The swiftness in processing the new data and mapping them into various categories ensures that no unfamiliar interactions are allowed to cause disturbance.

As the mind gets exposed to Unfamiliar Data, such Data gets into a process of quick checking and moving to a new set if it cannot be mapped with any existing set, not even to the nearest proximity. When a similar event to the new batch of unfamiliar data is experienced, the data gets processed to a fully familiar data and moved to a new or appropriate set.

The most interesting part is when two people are exposed to an event where for one person the event’s data are familiar and for the other person the event’s data are unfamiliar. A communication about the data of the event when explained by the person familiar to the event to the person unfamiliar to the event there is new mapping happening. In such a case the person unfamiliar need not wait to experience the unfamiliar event once again to have it processed as familiar data.

Any narrative data of one person gets registered as a familiar data in another person even without experiencing the narrative in reality, but when it is experienced in reality the stored data gets refined to a higher quality data.


 

Critical Thinkers from India

 Critical Thinkers from India

It was a world of exploration, backwards, in time. The path travelled helped me reach a phase in the past period in the Indian Sub-Continent very many thousands of years ago.

In a society, which is also a tribe as may be affectionately mentioned in sociological terms, there always emerges few minds who think far and much far ahead into future. They are the Critical Thinkers who live both in the present of their current times and in the future too through knowledge.

In a society many thousands of years ago in India the critical thinkers of that period wanted to save all intelligence and knowledge it had acquired, gained and evolved are safely saved as precious data. In addition to saving the knowledge and intelligence gained they also wanted it to have it reach the generations in future into an astronomical period of many thousands of years.

Many similar societies and tribes did the same and the methods they chose to do it were unique in their own ways.

The then societies depicted the knowledge and intelligence in the form of drawings, and some did by the way of carving scriptures in solid rock. Many geographical factors of climate change walk through these rocks and cause considerable damage to the contents over the period.

At a later stage the critical thinkers preserved the knowledge and intelligence gained by writing them in palm leaves and other available writing logs. All materialistic kits like the palm leaves, wooden tablets, rocks, rock tablets, cave walls, pottery scriptures, and metallic plates traveled very lengthy period in time passing thorough testing and adverse climatic and changing conditions, many successfully reached and many untouched still in future.

The critical thinkers in the Indian land also planned to have the knowledge and intelligence gained in their society at their period in time to reach the future generations safely. They adopted all materialistic kits to do so like the others did. They were aware that such knowledge and intelligence engraved in materialistic kits will reach the future generations only if it gets accessed by them.

Those materialistic kits which remain undetected may go unannounced to future generations. This made the critical thinkers think of some way through which the knowledge and intelligence gained by them is safely transmitted and transferred into the hands of the future generations for many a thousand years to come.

The critical thinkers from India put all the knowledge and intelligence gained by them into a capsule form and embedded it in the form of epics and puranas and many classical tales that went in through ears after ears after ears and the story like communication pattern of speaking and listening travelled safely many thousands of years and reached all the generations in-between up to this point in time intact and unaltered.

The Big data today looks like a small step when comparing with the technology of critical thinkers of many thousands of years ago.

Global Inventory Management

 Global Inventory Management

Inventories are all items that are listed under merchandise which is used by consumers based on their needs and wants. This inventory will be finished goods for some, work in progress for some and raw materials for some.

Treating our World as one big enterprise and all nations in all continents are networked to this global enterprise. The balancing of equation between Economics and Science & Technology keeps the global enterprise active 24x7.

Nations as a networked unit of the Global Enterprise can use the Inventory on global scale and at the same time also design their own inventory needs indigenously customized. The science of agriculture is one such customized inventory designed and used by nations to keep their independent economic functions active.

Field of medicine has both the regional inventory and the global inventory. Nation like India has their own pharmaceutical inventory in the form of science of Ayurveda and science of Siddha medicine.  Allopathic medicines are the Global Inventory used by all nations based on their needs and wants.

Focus is more on the Global Inventories because of their power of impact on economics of all nations. All nations networked in the Global Enterprise are part of the “Supply Chain Management’. The Supply Chain Management of Global Inventories are neatly planned and executed without any ambiguity.

The Global Inventories keep coming up in a phased manner. Some of the inventories stay for a long period and few others become obsolete and disappear from the inventory list. Few inventories that became obsolete and disappeared were the Radio sets, Typewriters, Telephones, Magnetic Tapes, Floppy Discs, CDs and CD players and Pagers. Few more Global Inventories kept their life intact by adapting to new technologies like in the automobile sectors, telecommunications, health industry, entertainment and household articles.

Who plans these Global Inventories? Are they instantaneous developments from a spark in mind? Are they pre-planned and experimented in R&D centers? Interestingly these inventories follow both the First-In First-Out and the First-in and Last-Out methods. Strangely, these Global Inventories do not suffer a decaying period in shelves unutilized. When a new Global Inventory is planned the old ones are silently removed. Some nation’s pick these removed old Global Inventories and try to generate indigenous inventories to meet their customized needs.

By now it is clear that the Global Enterprise plans its inventories for global market in a neat manner. How does this happen? It cannot be a spontaneous global event for inventory generation. In fact, things do not happen that way in a network of nations with imbalanced economic strength. Where is the planning of Global Inventories happening? How are they triggering global demands and pushing the newly developed inventories? One such Global Inventory developed and simply pushed into the global markets is the technology of Artificial Intelligence. It is for time to decide whether this Global Inventory of AI to stay for long or simple become another obsolete inventory.

Dominating 1.5 Factor

 Dominating 1.5 Factor

Energy is consumed in all activities. Humans use energy in everyday for many activities. Energy drives activities. Energy in discussion is the electrical energy used in human society for various activities. Energy for electricity can be produced from fossil fuels like the coal, crude oil and natural gas. Another way of producing electrical energy is from natural resources like the solar energy, wind energy, hydropower, biomass and tidal waves.

Fossil fuel has created distress in the balance of economic power among nations due to its uneven distribution. The transition in society to abandon fossil fuel and move to usage of natural resources will make all nations equal in economic power.

Energy is consumed in one form or another in producing all goods available in markets. In a store with many unsold products in their shelves will simply mean that energy consumed is stored unused. Care needs to be taken in producing goods to set a balance based on demand and supply. Excessively produced goods only reflect wastage of energy and unutilized energy.

Energy is a product of power and time. With power measured in watt and time in hours, one unit of electrical energy is measured as one kilowatt hour [kWh]. One kilowatt hour is 1000 watt hour. One kg of LPG used is equivalent to 1kWh of energy and 1 liter of petrol or diesel is equivalent to 13kWh of energy. The unit to measure consumption of energy of a nation is TOE [Tonnes of Oil Equivalent] where one TOE is equal to 11630 units of electrical energy.

One issue that has knocked the doors of all nations is the Climate change and this has made Carbon the core, thus the issue now is Carbon. The total quantum of Green House Gases [Carbon dioxide CO2, Methane and Nitrous oxide] produced and emitted into the atmosphere resulting due to activities is Carbon Footprint.

One unit of electricity consumed result in pushing one kg of CO2 into the atmosphere. One liter of petrol or diesel consumed pushes 3 kgs of CO2 and one kilo of LPG consumed pushes 3 kgs of CO2 into the atmosphere. Carbon dioxide stays for many years in the atmosphere causing distress to atmosphere and these causes’ change in climatic conditions.

Based on the global average surface warming the climate threshold is kept at 1.5 degree Celsius above pre-industrial temperatures. Once 1.5 degree Celsius of climate threshold is crossed then climate change factors become irreversible, and consequence thereof will be severe. All nations have started to feel the level of climatic distress through unprecedented rains, floods, hurricanes, forest fire and rise in sea level.

All Governments are taking relentless measures to tackle this climate change issues. Governments have to put in attractive policies to ensure global preparedness to drift away from the 1.5 degree Celsius for good.

It looks like the activities of discontinuing production of small cars, fast paced development in Artificial Intelligence, replacing humans with automated technologies, organic farming methods, shifting to vegetarian food, digital learning, reducing use of paper, population control measures are part of the climate change program to stay safely far away from the 1.5 factor.

The Human Switch

 The Human Switch

It is time to wake up before things get tightened around us. The more we use technology the better life will be. But any technology that turns out to harm life should be discarded at the first instance.

There are two ways of looking at technology when it comes to life. One is to use technology as a tool to live a good life and the other is to simple surrender our lives to technology. In the first case life gets better and better as technology improves with all finer qualities. But in the second case technology plays the role of a spoiler.

Commerce is a business of buying and selling products and services. Technology brings in more flexibility with low-cost options to enhance the art of commerce. But when the same technology turns in to extinguish the foundation of commerce everything around us change.

An existing market can be refined with better standards; markets can be enhanced with healthy supportive tools, markets can be expanded beyond boundaries but when market starts to shrink, when existing markets start to disappear then all factors that depend on these markets suffer.

The rate of change of market conditions and the rate of change of adaptability should get synchronized. If markets, go too advanced giving lesser time for people to adapt will cause fear and distress. People adapt to something and not to nothing. This something should undergo change in a systematically paced manner.

The sudden boom in the implementation and usage of AI tools is too fast and it is way ahead of people who are left behind in adapting to its presence. A mere downloadable presence of an APP in the mobiles does not guarantee that people have adapted and synced with the technology. It is time to distinguish what is essential and what is not essential and for this exercise the economic affordability plays a key role.

To buy a product or service one has to pay for it. If no ready money is available someone lends and push them to buy it through many media campaigns. By purchasing products and services through borrowings we gain the title of ownership and lose to the title of borrower. When we buy a product with available money, we just switch the title of ownership and stay away from gaining the title of a borrower.

All Apps either free or meant to be free with hidden charges are after something in you. It is time to wake up. Use technology only when it is needed. Anything available free is simply taking something precious out of you unknowingly. If any technology is going to change your living conditions use it, if it is going to challenge your living conditions then discard it.

Did you know that when you sleep everything also sleep without disturbing you. To connect and not to connect is the switch we need to use when it comes to technology. There are still lots of people living happily untouched by technology. Out there are lots of living creatures that live a happy life without using technology. Control technology and do not get controlled by technology.

An End to Begin

 An End to Begin

This world has seen more projects more than the number of Civilizations. Some projects get initiated and some simple die in thoughts.

A project gets momentum to progress and move to next stage if it is acceptable to all involved in some way or another. There are many projects which start with an anticipated result but end up totally differently.  

There are some projects aimed to change the prevailing conditions for a good future but struggles all along in its implementation. It gives some scope to make an initial judgment before even switching on a project.

Agriculture was a project-initiated thousands of years before and even today it has survived because it addresses the core issues of life and living. This is one project that never had caused any damaging outcomes.

Nuclear energy was a project to get quick and abundant energy, but it found other paths which simple can put the world at risk at the press of a button. The governments are working on Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of nuclear weapons. 

Automobile was a project initiated for swift and speedy transportation, but its fuel dependency has tilted not only many economies but contributed to climate change. Huge amounts are spent to switch from fuel to electric technology and it is simply not happening in short time.

Biotech projects initiated with good intentions similar to the nuclear project has seen many out of boundary accidental outcomes. It is time to announce a new treaty on Non-proliferation of Bio Negligence.

Satellite projects, Space projects, Telecommunication projects, Artificial Intelligence Projects and many more are easily started and also see commercial gains quickly. But when uncontrollable events of harm set in a whole lot of time and energy is spent on correction measures.

In the present days of globalization era any new project initiated by a country simply does not stay within that country, it rapidly moves into other countries too.  When this be the reality then even before any new project is initiated by any nation it will be wise to have it go through a process of a complete analysis on its results and all possible outcomes for an international acceptance through a proper forum.

Any project designed and planned will be touching societies and people. It is wise to put an end to the beginning of any project if that project is bound to harvest undesirable results.

Cracking the Time Function

 Cracking the Time Function

Time the most elusive parameter in science always keeps the intelligent minds wonder how to play with it.  The base information revels that time is not static, and it is dynamic. It is science which fixes the time function. There are many possibilities that science spreads out in designing a time function.

Time as a circular loop function, time as a sinusoidal function, time as a parabolic function, time as a converging function, time as a diverging function, time as a straight line function, time as an exponential function, time as a discrete function, time as a void function, time as a multiplying function, time as a division function, time as a wave function, time as a quantum function and time as a relative function.

All these time functions are in usage but not by everyone and everything. Every living and non-living thing is linked to any one of the time functions. Time function cannot be generalized or singular.

Trees may adopt an exponential time function, small plants may adopt a sinusoidal time function, non-living matters may adopt a straight-line time function, climate and seasons may adopt a circular loop time function, growing embryos may adopt an elliptic time function and newborn animals may adopt a parabolic time function.

The algorithm of time function is different for different users. Science drives human mind to keep travelling in all directions on an exploration mode to find the truth. What science does not know is that human mind will not stop its journey once the truth is found. It will get into the experimental process of altering the algorithms and manipulate the end result which eventually manipulates the very truth.

If parabolic function of time be injected into the chemical elements, then the existence of chemical elements will be similar to the birth and death cycle. If straight line time function is injected into an orbiting planet, then it will escape from the circular loop time function. If converging time function is injected into mutation process, then new species will not be generated.

Stepping out of the time clock 24 hours' time function and viewing time as a multiple time functions will show many new doors and the truth behind everything in the universe.

Human actions have knowingly or unknowingly altered the circular loop time function and its algorithms which have resulted in a climate change causing extreme conditions eventually. If human intelligence has limits in completely studying all possible time functions, AI tools can be used to synthesize and evolve a large set of data on the possible time functions.

Cracking the algorithm of a straight-line time function and altering it results in adaptable mutation process. One time function can be altered to another time function. Two or more-time functions can be combined to get a new set of time functions.

Evolving scientific minds generate a spark which sets as a trigger to alter time functions. Beside the human mind there is this mind of nature which plays with all available time functions. Nature uses and keeps all the time functions well protected and out of reach of any other system. Every time someone or something crake one shell of protective layer nature builds another layer of protection to safeguard time functions.

On Freewill and Destiny

 On Freewill and Destiny

Freewill is the power one holds to make own choice and decisions independent of any preset fate. Destiny is events which are beyond control and cannot be changed but just accepted.

Outcome of events happening on account of freewill and on account of destiny sets a never-ending debate for ages. Many believe in freewill, and many believe in destiny, interestingly both walk their respective lives side by side accepting the final outcome as an end product of their choice.

By viewing technology through the lens of freewill and destiny leads to a wider topic for futuristic discussion.

If technology is an act of freewill then its entire outcome produces both favorable and unfavorable results, some are benefitting and some are disturbing. Those who enjoy benefits attribute it to freewill and those who get disturbed prefer destiny over freewill.

If technology is an act of destiny, then its entire outcome also produces both favorable and unfavorable results, some are benefitting and some are disturbing. Those who benefit attribute it to destiny and those who get disturbed prefer freewill over destiny.

Destiny stands unchanged but freewill encourages experimentation. The digital revolution has brought Artificial Intelligence to the foreground. This AI has started to change the way people live. Rapid progress in AI technology has brought distress in social patterns and economic functions.

If AI is an outcome due to developmental process based on freewill then the emerging result should have options of freewill to alter the outcome rather than pushing the outcome to an unchangeable destiny.

If AI is an outcome due to developmental process based on destiny, then the emerging result should have no option for freewill to alter results but simply accept the unchangeable outcome of destiny.

The impact of AI revolution has changed the social lifestyle. Human society is inching towards total acceptance of AI systems through digital patterns of compelling nature. If humans accept these compelling digital patterns in social life, then they step into a circle from which they will not be able to come out.

If AI revolution is a process of destiny, then humans will simple be forced into the circle due to compelling patterns and will not be able to exit. But if AI revolution is a process of freewill then even if they enter into the circle due to compelling patterns there will always be an option of freewill to help them to step out of the circle.

To accept without altering or to alter without accepting is in the hands of the policy makers who design the future. Politicians and Technocrats have to synchronize in designing the future or a "Techno-politician" has to design the future.

Two minds are always better than one, but much will depend on whether they synchronize or not.

Exploring Life

 Exploring Life

It was an opportunity to go through the video on “Water Anomalies” by the Brazilian Physicist Marcia Barbosa. It sparked a new exploration connecting life and chemistry.

It is true that the major chemical compound on Earth is water. The machinery of nature has devised an industrial process without any machine to ensure that this major compound water goes through a process of evaporation from ocean, process of condensation in atmosphere and to the process of precipitation, the rain, to get back to earth and its ocean.

All living creatures on Earth are designed to survive with the help of this compound water. In fact, all living things are an integral part of water. This is science and from here starts another journey into exploring the science of universe.

Presume that an extra-terrestrial traveler in some part of the universe visits a catalogue store cataloguing life and its support systems, the item Earth will feature water and water-based life system.

Our search for life outside Earth needs a new dimension to view. Many of us are searching for life similar to those in our ecosystem, the Earth. But the point we are missing is that any life on Sun, Venus, Mars, Saturn or any other heavenly body will be an integral part of the maximum chemical compound that is available on that heavenly body.

Once the data of maximum chemical compounds present in planets and other heavenly bodies are gathered and catalogued, then the analytics on these data will lead us to the possible form of life that could exist in these systems. These new life forms in other planets will be an integral part of the chemical compounds that exists there.

If at all there be any life system out there in the universe more intelligent and advanced than us, then they would have started this process of cataloguing. In fact, they would have initiated a plan to collect and conduct experiment on water to get more information about life on Earth.

If there be no life system more intelligent than us out there in the universe, then we will be the first to initiate and start the process of cataloguing the availability, in abundance, of chemical compounds in various planets and heavenly bodies.

It will be wise to introduce a subject paper on astrochemistry and start a whole new establishment to study and explore life in the universe through chemistry. The more humans walk away from the core of fundamentals the quicker they will be lost in both space and time. 

Today's world may be integrated by electronics and communications, but the first primary integration always happens in chemistry and all the other integrations are just applications.

On Layoffs

 On Layoffs

In the past few months, the word that went around unannounced but destabilizing all things that were stable was “Layoff”. When it really happens then it should be like a silent wave hitting the dissolving sands. Some may experience the sun as a black disc, and many may not hear even a loud music. The word “Layoff” pins the mind to the self with no physical pain felt even with a huge iron sphere simply hung around the career neck with a chain made of hours and days.

Human life cycle encourages education to get prepared to be used as a valuable workforce. Layoffs actually happen when any establishment runs into economic and financial crisis. It is usual for establishments running into financial distress to ask its staff to leave the job. But what is happening now is simple a major wave of displacement as a result of technological advancement.

One may begin to realize that when works can be executed by AI and machines, then the need for human resources is absent. The question that comes up is” Were the human’s born to work at all?”

Animals were domesticated by humans to assist them in work. All livestock worked really sincerely without any word of burdened pain uttered. As technology developed, these livestock were replaced by machines. No one till today really knows whether these domesticated livestock’s thought this move as a boon or burden. But when the same happens to humans it is seen as a burden. Burden is not for the condition but for the situation. Livestock did not build a committed lifestyle, but humans built a lifestyle which is more demanding in economic terms.

It looks likely that in a futuristic scenario no humans will be needed to work because all essential and necessary functions will be done by AI and machines. In such a scenario what sense will humans hold in designing a demanding lifestyle. Who is to be blamed?

In a world without humans there were many creatures living by following the natural equation without any binding commitments. Human on entering into the world could have designed a simple living like any other creatures. One thing that made humans to run a race chasing what they created and running after what they committed is the invention of the economic system.

If Economic system has caused all the problems, then the same economic system has to solve all the problems too. If humans want to keep the world functioning as earlier, then they have to apply brakes on technological developments. Technological developments at times become poison to the very human existence.

If humans cannot stop the technological advancements, then they have to either abolish the present economic system or develop a new system that will keep the world going happily together in harmony and peace.

It is wise to work for a solution rather than wait for one.

Boyle's Law and Economics

 

Boyle's Law and Economics

Boyle’s Law states that the pressure of a given mass of an ideal gas is inversely proportional to its volume at a constant temperature. Ideal gases are those which exist theoretically where the gas particles move in random, and they are free from interparticle interaction.

When an ideal gas is put in a container where the temperature is constant then the pressure of the ideal gas will increase when the volume it occupies starts to reduce, similarly the pressure of the gas will decrease when the volume of it occupies increases.

In Boyle’s Law the ideal gas us discussed with changeable volume which results in changing pressure provided the temperature is not altered. An attempt is made to read this Boyle’s Law in relation to economics. When volume gets designated to area of economic activity and pressure designated to economic stress, then economic conditions are to be kept to a constant like the temperature where the ideal gas gets designated to economic activity.

For an ideal condition the Boyle’s Law should read that the economic stress will reduce when the area of economic activity increases, similarly the economic stress will increase when the area of economic activity decreases.

In the era of globalization where the area of economic activity has increased diluted national borders the economic stress should be reduced to minimum giving greater scope for economic activities to progress and flourish. But this ideal condition is not present, what is seen is an increased level of economic distress resulting in waves of layoffs around.

Checking into what went wrong and what caused a deviated from the Boyle’s Law throws open many views. There can never be something called ideal gas, there are too many economic activities happening around. Some economic activities are in the same areas of business resulting in a competition within that industry. Some economic activities are interrelated to one and another causing a chain reaction.

The economic conditions are not constant like the temperature, Government policies, policies between nations, rate of exchange in currency rates, demands, supplies, inflations and recessions impact every bit of economic activities.

It looks like Boyle’s Law will not be true in a globalized economic activity. May be in a non-globalized and strictly self-sustained national economic activity Boyle’s Law may be true. Globalization assured a lot with enhanced economic activities but relatively delivered too little compromising of assurances and eventually increasing economic distress at a global level.

Not sure if the rise in interest rates, uncontrolled inflations, increasing exchange rates, layoffs, credit-based economy, depletion in savings, increase in debts, compromised revenues and escalation in living costs be tagged to globalization.

One thing is for sure, Boyle’s Law will not hold good in a real time economic activity on a global platform.

In Pursuit of a Second Home

In Pursuit of a Second Home 

Home is a place where we belong. It is the place that connects one to their near and dear. The need for a home comes when we are either away from it or do not have one to go.

Earth, the great Mother earth, has been our home irrespective of the nation's we belong, and its law bounded boundaries. A person belonging to a home will never cause damage to the home they stay both knowingly and unknowingly. This may be true for plants, animals, birds and aqua lives but the same cannot be stated with humans without a pause on the lips.

A look around suggests how this beautiful earth gifted to live has been subjected to many distressing changes due to satisfy the desires and fancies of humans. Setting the house in order will be difficult task because more than humans it is the nations that are tagged to insatiable egos. There are people who would like to reset the entire earth system and keep it healthy, but these people are without power to control any machinery.

No one and no nation can furnish the status report on the health of our world. It will be pointless to analyze on events that led to the current state of health of our lovely earth. But planning a future which will slowly reduce the health hazards suffered by the earth and start to focus on progressive strategies will be wise.

Everyone will prefer to have a 100% chance to reset the health state of the earth to make it most healthy, but it will take huge efforts from all nations and also a lot of time. It will be wise to start searching for a second home in the universe just in case things do not go as planned in the process of reinstating a healthy earth.

The next best option is the very next door, the Mars. Many would prefer to address it as our Mars, but the fact is it is not our Mars. The space mission and Mars mission of many countries seem to be on a domination race. There will be no purpose served if Mars be dominated by nations with self-prioritized visions and ideas.

Mars can be made a second home. Mars should be a planet without nation. Mars should not be infected with economic ideologies. Mars should be free from the dominations of power, religion and capitalism. Mars should be free from war. Mars should be planned as a one civilization aiming to be good in making a healthy planet for better living for all species.

Mars should be a universal planet with good living conditions. Mars should not be another photocopy of the earth. Mars should not also be a dumping ground for all wasted human technologies. If humans are incapable of making a healthy Mars, then it will be wise to abolish all missions to Mars.

It is essential and important to search for a second home in the universe. This second home should not be made of infrastructure with the burden of Mother Earth. This second home should be futuristic and be built around the concept of the universal dream of unity and oneness.

Perfecting the Balance Sheet

Perfecting the Balance Sheet 

Balance Sheet indicates the health of any establishments. All components in a Balance Sheet find its position there after many transactions made on every business day. Transactions are processed through a chamber called Trial Balance. From this chamber certain heads directly move to the Balance Sheet and certain other entries move to Balance Sheet after going through another chamber called Profit or Loss.

Every life born in this world is sent with an opening Balance Sheet. The Asset side comes with the most valuable fixed asset compromising of Mother, Father and all relations relating to them. The Liability side is a vast open life to be lived by the newborn.

Every day and every activity done by the newborn is the transaction which moves into the chamber of Trial Balance and the chamber of Profit and Loss on a daily basis. By the end of every working 24 hours a Balance Sheet is arrived.

It is the everyday transaction conducted by the individual that finally emerge in to their Balance Sheet. If the transactions are good and healthy in nature the same healthiness will be reflected in the Balance Sheet. If the transactions are of afflicting nature the Balance Sheet will also be afflicted and not healthy.

Fixed Assets are classified into two well distinguished parts. One comprises of Human Assets like Mother, Father, Grandparents, siblings, paternal relations, maternal relations, spouse, children, friends and Gurus. The other asset is the Material Asset which comprise of land, building, wealth and vehicle.

Good name and fame earned by the individual forms as good investments and bad name earned form into bad investments.

On the final day of judgement, it is precisely this Balance Sheet of the individual that is viewed and analyzed by the Creator. If the Human Assets are more and Material Assets are less creator grants a rebirth full of fortunes, gains and happiness. If the Material Assets are more and the Human Assets are less Creator grants a rebirth full of misfortunes, distress and losses. Each rebirth is an opportunity to perfect the Balance Sheet.

There is a unique condition where the individual can avoid rebirth and get into the Motcha state. The unique condition for attaining this motcha state is when individuals during their lifetime invite the Creator to join into the partnership as a partner.

It is up to the individual to plan their Balance Sheet. The Creator gives opportunities on a daily basis for the individual to perfect their Balance Sheet, but invariably many individuals simple do not exercise this option.


The Great Redemption

The Great Redemption

Internet defines redemption as an act of redeeming or atoning for a fault or mistake or the state of being redeemed or deliverance or rescue.

Mistakes and errors are integral part of any decision-making life. There could be no better chance like a second change. In theory the act of redemption holds a state of total deliverance from all fault lines. In practical life it takes quite a long period even for humans to realize that they have crossed the fault lines.

There are many great philosophies in India which were never buried but lay scattered like an open script shining bright like the morning lotus every day and every hour. Indian philosophies were always simple and open in many ways including its source. Existence of diffracted views never shall harm the truth.

One such script is on the Cheeranjeevis. A Cheeranjeevi is a status gift delivered on the chosen one to live an eternal life crossing all tie barriers. Interestingly Guru Shukracharya possesses the divine power to recite and bring back any life that is declared dead. Guru Shukracharya is depicted as Planet Venus in the ancient Vedic Astrology. This is the only planet that spins in the anti-clockwise direction.

The Hindu Philosophy or the Philosophy of Nature mentions about the Cheeranjeevi status given to seven mythological characters.

Hanuman

Parashurama

Vibhishana

Mahabali

Markandeya

Ashwathaman

And the seventh holds many views; it is either Prahalad or Veda Vyas.

Humans cross many fault lines on many occasions. Some of the fault lines they cross are like afflicted moral conduct, harming children, harming parents, harming siblings, harming spouse, harming elders, harming friends, harming nature, harming animals, harming plants, cheating friends, exploiting environment and natural resources and many more as humans feel fit to add.

The crossing of fault lines invites distress to both mental health and physical health. It is like an open electric circuit where the resistance is high, or the circuit is open thereby causing the prevention of flow of current.

The seven Cheeranjeevis are the forces who can redeem humans from their afflicted state of mental and physical health. Nothing gets connected until invited to connect. The river always flows and animals and birds go to the river to quench their thirst. Plants move their roots to collect the essential water.

The key is to “Connect”. All the seven Cheeranjeevis are forces available in time-space dimensions with whom one can connect and get redeemed. Now the question that may arise is “Who to connect with for which fault line crossing to get redeemed?”

Welcome to Indian Mythology where everything is kept open like the nature.



The 5 Elements

 The 5 Elements

The five elements are the natural forces which exist all around us. These five elements are the Fire, the Water, the Wind, the Land and the Space. Human race has always desired to control these five elements. It is secretly established that anyone who controls all these five elements can control anything in the universe.

These five elements are supposed to get manifested in any one of the three states of matter the solid, the liquid and the gas.

Land is manifested in the form of solid, water is manifested in the form of liquid, wind is manifested in the form of gas, interestingly both fire and space do not manifest in any of the three states of matter.

This opens a new perspective to view the 5 elements of nature because fire and space do not manifest in any form of matter. By trying to understand how these 5 elements are harnessed and controlled, we may try and reach a point to understand their manifestation.

Wind is harnessed to the land by the force of gravity. Water is harnessed to the land by the force of gravity. Existence of wind and water without land is something beyond human understanding. Both wind in the form of gas and water in the form of liquid need a solid land to get harnessed.

In the universe gas and fluid will need a solid land surface to get harnessed. Fire and space are two other elements which are unique when compared with land, water and air. Fire is a process where any object of solid, liquid or gas can be burnt. During the process of fire an object that is burnt emits energy.

It will be appropriate to disassociate fire from the 5 elements and study it as an isolated process. The resultant energy generated when an object of any state got burnt by the process of fire cannot be left uncontrolled. This energy is not harnessed by space but is allowed to flow freely in space.

Energy can either be stored or it can be allowed to flow freely. Energy can be stored in solid, liquid and gas similarly energy can flow freely in solid, liquid and gas in addition to space. If energy can flow freely in space, then there must be a science to harness it too.

Space needs to be disassociated from the 5 elements and it is not manifested in any of the three forms of solid, liquid or gas. Space is not a process, because space does not initiate any activity, but it just holds and executes all activities. This makes space very unique, because space holds the element land. Land can hold and harnesses two elements water and air. Space also allows the process of fire to produce energy.

The three elements of nature are land, water and wind. One process is fire which can generate energy. It is space that can accommodate all three elements and the process of fire. Land, water, air, fire cannot exist without space.

The uniqueness of space which is neither an element nor a process makes science wonder about its nature, its composition, dimensions, capacity, mechanics, dynamics, limits, transformations, and its function with time.

The Sidhars from the Southern part of India from the region currently known as Tamil Nadu attributed this space to the concept of Sivam. These Sidhars focused eternally to understanding and harnessing the power of space. Could these Sidhars have used time as a mechanism to sail through space to understand its very nature?

One thing is for sure; the Sidhars attempted something in that direction and brought us up to this point. From this point science can explore further to gain more knowledge about the space around us.
