The Future of Humanity!

-
If you can resonate with terms like blackhole, universe, multiverse, white-hole, final theory of everything, string theory, the mind of God, etc. then this video by Prof Michio Kaku on The Future of Humanity is for you. 



Hear him explain the two mysteries confronted by humanity today: 
  •  What happened before creation, why Big Bang, are there other universes in the outer space? 
  •  What goes on in the inner space where we have 100 billion neurons in our brain, that is as many stars as in the Milky-way galaxy? 
He says that our brain is a learning machine with a pattern seeking neural network. That the future of Internet is Brain-net, which, instead of sending digital signals as on the Internet, will send emotions, memories, and feelings. Also, hear Prof Michio Kaku explaining why, when a man talks to a pretty girl, he acts so stupid and mentally retarded! 

To see how fast we have progressed in the last 50 years, realize that the computing power of the whole of ISRO of the 1980s is available today on a single smartphone! 



And remember that it was with this computing power that we built our first Remote Sensing Satellite, Bhaskara-1 weighing 442kg and launched it from Russia in 1979 and successfully launched onboard the SLV-3, the Rohini Satellite RS-1, from SHAR Centre in 1980. 

As part of the team that developed the Image Processing Software for the Bhaskara-1 remotely sensed data, I remember that we progressively upgraded our computers during 1976-1985, from IBM System/360 Model 44 with 64KB RAM, to the PDP-11/70 Mini Computer with 4MB RAM, and to the VAX-11/780 Supermini Computer with 8MB RAM. Now compare that with your smartphone with 8GB  RAM!

A sense of impatience is building among many Indians, who are eagerly expecting a decisive move by the Modi Government against Pakistan after the Islamic terror attacks in the Pahalgam valley of Kashmir resulted in the deaths of 26 innocent tourists from various parts of India. Copyright: Internet Given India's current position as a politically vibrant nation with a coalition government, a rapidly growing economy, and an expanding global influence across multiple sectors, it has naturally attracted the envy of various nations who would prefer to see its progress stall or reverse.  The India-Pakistan Situation In this context, engaging in warfare with a poor and struggling neighboring country would be a self-destructive act, squandering the significant advantages the present BJP led Indian government has painstakingly built over the last decade. Pushing Pakistan deeper into poverty through a war could inadvertently lead to global sympathy for them. Other countries and international ...

Sir Chettur Sankaran Nair: A Life of Principle and Purpose

Surprisingly, it required someone like Prime Minister Narendra Modi, sitting 2,500 km away in Delhi, to illuminate the significant contributions of Kerala's illustrious son, Sir Chettur Sankaran Nair (1857-1934), for Keralites and Indian historians. Sir Chettur Sankaran Nair This luminary had risen to prominent judicial roles in the British administration, received a knighthood  under British rule, yet ultimately relinquished all these accolades to fight against injustice within the same British legal framework , a system that ironically helped pave the path to India's eventual independence . Following PM Modi's directive, Union Minister Suresh Gopi visited the ancestral home of freedom fighter and former Congress president's family in Ottapalam and their residence in Chandranagar, Palakkad, on Sunday.
