IUCAA log files

I am here, inside the seminar hall of IUCAA, named- BHASKARA-S3. I am listening Waves, Transverse waves, Gravitational waves, Riemann Tensor, Equation, K mu, K nu= 0, Box h, K mu is a null vector, it lies on a light cone, going to future light cones, Massless field, 3*10^8 m/s, Universal time, and much more exotic. The lecture is being taken by Prof. S.V.Dhurandhar.

He is taking a lecture on Gravitational Waves, in his time slot of 9.30 a.m to 10.30 a.m. This is the first lecture of this day, and I am going off my head. Myself, being interested in Theoretical work in Physics, but studying B.Tech, engineering, has the ardor to attend these kind of HARDCORE Physics. I am tasting the bitter and acerbic flavour of abstract kind of theories, mathematical, going into the insightful aspects of nature. 

These lectures are a part of the Vacation Student's Programme, of IUCAA, in which I have been picked for. For those, who don't know, what this abbreviated abstract term is, I would like to convey that, it expamds as- INTER UNIVERSITY CENTRE FOR ASTRONOMY AND ASTROPHYSICS, Pune, India. The VSP programme, which started from 11th of May, consistes of a series of lectures being taken by professors like- J.V.Narlikar, T.Padmanabhan, Varun Sahni, Dipankar Bhattacharya, S.V.Dhurandhar, and more. Now, Prof. S.V.Dhurandhar is giving a lecture, moving from here to there, trying to explain us MATRIX TENSOR, SYMMETRY, GRAVITATIONAL SYSTEMS, etc. And I am correspondingly, along with the lectures, in synchronization, scribbling on this notebook of mine, provided to us on the very first day of our VSP programme. I am not understanding even a bit of this Mathematical Expressionism Orgy (MEO). 

So at this point of time, I nurture, and possess, the same opinion for 99.7 % of the respectable pupils sitting out here. Difference being, I am a B.Tech, and they are teachers, MSc Physics, Physics Lecturers,. etc. 

So, you may infer, that in this lecture at present, a whole color of audions are present. This moment, being for the first time, I am helpless totally and graspings NULLS and VOIDS, instead of GENERAL RELATIVITY, and ASTROPHYSICS. These topics are so elegant, trying to express the nature's mood, emotion, feeling, thought, pain, complexity, simplicity, and the Space-Time structure to precision. But still, someday, (perhaps through some ingenious work), a more subtle theory of all the three forces of NATURE, will bolster itself. BLIMEY..!!! there is LANDAU LIFSHITZ QUADRUPOLE formula on board. Inertia Tensor, Extra Dimensions, Second Derivatives, T minus 2, Binary systems, Neutron Stars, Compact Objects, High Energy, VIRIAL Theorum, Gravitational Potential Well, etc. etc. Well...welll..... HIATUS for 10 minutes, until we have a tea break. Compact sources wil give rise to Gravitatioanl waves. Gravitational forces are so weak, PITY on it..!!! Or, it rules the universe? 

There, it is occurring few minor hitches with the laptop in use for the Lecture by the Prof... Prof. S.V.Dhurandhar is standing, waiting for the laptop to get fixed. One of the teachers asked the Prof. a minor question as doubt, trying to confront him. In return, Prof. turned him down. Elucidating that, he was wrong. This is almost the time of finishing, but it will perhaps stretch due to the minor hitches which occurred in prior.

GOSH!!! On the screen- GRAVITATIONAL WAVES EXIST..!! Noble Prize was given to HULSE and TAYLOR for discovering Gravitational Waves in 1993, in a BINARY PULSAR SYSTEM. Decay in orbit of Binary Pulsar PSR 1913 + 16. Gravitational waves are produced by BULK Motion of Matter. It is not easily scattered, and has high fidelity of information. It has frequency > 10^4. Information is ORTHOGONAL to Electro-Magnetic Waves- it means- REVOLUTION IN ASTRONOMY.

So, coming on to the final frontier-i.e. GRAVITATIONAL WAVES ASTRONOMY, it creates ripples of anxiety, anticipation, and expectations on your body!  Charged Blackholes. Electromagnetic Waves can also produce GRAVITATION.

Whoosh..!! Such an energizing dose of lecture it was. Full of extreme edges of Physics and Metaphysics, it was. Even while writing this write up, on my notebook, it produces Gravitational Waves, but the coupling constant will be of the order of 10^-50, which are GODDAMN feeble to detect. Now, after finishing this lecture (20 minutes delayed at 10.40 a.m.), tea is waiting for me to be consumed. But, I prefer to write this BLOG ENTRY of mine.

You know, that the facilities provided by IUCAA are overwhelming, and the ambience of the campus is impressive to live. A central garden, just adjacent to this seminar hall, heralds the greenery and thought stop. 4 great scientists of all times- Einstein, Newton, Aryabhatta, Varahamahira, are standing tall in bliss, with full of benediction for the bereft societies.

I am off for tea now. Continued after the tea is- Prof. S.N.Tandon’s  lecture on SPACE ASTRONOMY from 11.00 a.m. He is here- BLANCH hairs, SMART personality, LATE fifties, or sixties.

I am interested in this lecture, so bbyeah till next post (very soon). Keep your spectrum of mind tuned, to gather more news of IUCAA, and all its exquisite details.

{NB: THIS BLOG ENTRY WAS WRITTEN BY ME YESTERDAY, INSIDE THE LECTURE HALL, WHILE ATTENDING THE LECTURE BY Prof. S.V.Dhurandhar. THE BLOG IS SUPPOSED TO BE READ IN A VERY PRESENT FORM OF REFERENCE, AS IF ALL THE EVENTS ARE HAPPENING WITH ME AT THIS MOMENT OF TIME. }

Phenomenological Cones

It’s cone inside a cone,

Very chaotic cones,

And very fractal cones.

There are Space-Time cones,

And humanity cones.

Resemblance seems to be feeble,

Pattern’s very clear.

Patterns, which transcends all fear.

Watch a cone beside you,

Growing and expanding,

But still, in-itself.

Or a cone,

With an artificial eye,

It exists and it vanishes,

Under the background of ultimate cone.

Can you sense that ultimate cone?,

Which has burgeoned you congenital cones.

It’s quite hard to believe relativity of cones,

But, can you find those 11 minus 4 cones?

Even the cone,

Incidental shelter to us,

Was once a baby.

A baby so nascent,

But her parents unknown.

Giving birth to infinite parameters cone,

It breeds consciousness in-itself,

Can we believe in such conscious cone?

Whatever be the level of conscious cones,

The baby was unable to find her parent cones.

Can we, so worldly cones, be able to find decipher the parent cone?

Purpose or No Purpose

From past few days, as I am going through the Neil's Levy book on Jean Paul Sartre, and getting  accustomed to few expressions, like, for-itself, in-itself, nothingness, phenomenology, being, existentialism, essentialism, ethics, and a few more. Reading it, I feel like asking, that, what is the real purpose and probability of our existence? Are we merely a result of some uncertainity, some abrupt phenomenon, or some random occurences, which led to a life and society of this complexity. Being in the society, and competing like mad-hoc, we are just wandering in this chaotic life. From our birth, the congenital situations mould us to survive and compete in this self made society. Watching this, and realizing this aspect of life, we can often ask that- Is this the real cause for which we have been brought from a much random state to a much ordered one? Sometimes, this fact worries few of the human beings on this "lucky" Earth, and they try to explain the phenomenons. On a much more fundamental level, to a much grander scale. As we know that, this is one of the impregnated nature of human beings. We most often feel much more attracted by the object, which is far from us. So does Superstrings or Megaclusters of Galaxy. 

Oh.. I have kept this post for so long time as trash in my drafts.

I thought that I shouldn't keep it like this in this phase. I got too engaged these days, to complete this post of mine. So happy reading the unfinished business. I know, it sounds awkward..!!

God created us and died

I have been thinking about this topic, posted by me now, during the past few days. 

I would like to define GOD in three words :

GOD -

G-- Greatest

O-- Obfuscated

D-- Delusion

We, the human species, in the dilemma of our own existence, fall into a delusion in a fallacious manner. I would rather suggest that the most intelligent and rational point of view would be to be an AGNOSTIC. Agnostic, as it is, does not put into restrictions about our free will, which is the basic and essential characteristic of the human species.

 If you feel that you are an atheist, you will sometimes fall into your own treacherous pit. There would be situations in which you will feel that your own thoughts and commitments are betraying you. You will fall in a vicious loop of singularity of your own thought, with even more positive feedback, to make you unstable and deviate from your very own will to be an atheist. Like you can consider a situation like this : Somebody asks you- who are you?, from where did you came?, what's your purpose of existence?, what's so special about life?, what is absolute zero?, what is infinity?, what is beyond Universe?, why does the nature exists on such a large scale?, and if it does, why are we( the human beings) hanging on a scale so inexplicable in its size?, what is consciousness?, what are the fundamental entities?, on what scale does the fractal nature of the nature can exist?, what is chaos?, why do we exist in between so bizarre nature?, what's the purpose of self organizing nature on earth or beyond?, why are we odd one out in such a vast empty spaces of Universe?.

 

I even do not assert that in order to answer these questions, you need to become a believer of God and start abandoning all other religion of practices and beliefs. Even the person indulged in religion or in God, will not be able to answer these questions, and if asked, will try to escape the arena by simply giving the name- GOD to all these questions and the plausble answers. 

I do think, that an agnostic can well escape and answer these questions, because, he is puzzled by all these questions, and do believe that these is something very abstruse, obstruct, confound, profound, abstract, obfuscated, inexplicable about these questions. He does believe that they are hard to explain, but, refuses to belief that one should start indulging himself in religious practices, and start praying to God to reveal Himself before his own death, which is not possible anyway in his minute life span of 100 years. He always get disturbed by all those questions, and tries to find the answers to all these questions. He can't deprecate the Complexity of nature, which is clearly visible by few of the questions above. He do believe, that there should be something, or rather, may be something, which can answer all the answers, or a few of them. He respects Nature, and love its unconquerable complexity. Neither he is an atheist, nor a perfect believer. He is a sceptic, and will always remain sceptic for rest of his life. The definition of God, may be different for different individuals. Some try to simply sit and except their meagreness. Some simply try to avoid or rather ignore the answers to these questions. And the most intelligent ones, i.e- the Agnostics, try to explain and give different answers to these speculations. He is always engaged in finding the truth, because he wants to remove his scepticism. 

So, I would simply like to put forward few words in favour of my post, and would say that, if God would have been alive, then there would be No such thing as Evolution, which is such a fundamental property of the Entire Nature.

I am here

So I am here. I write this blog as a form of excursion, or rather, to normalize myself. Well, I was planning to do something else, as I planned, at this juncture of time. But, you see, I have written this and you are even reading it. Now you muct be thinking, why to read such a boring post, with so many sh*t personal life and frustrations!! So you are welcome, and carry on. And even allow me to do so..

As I find myself, at this moment, as a happy individual and a prosperous human being, is a result of few discussions, which always used to fill me with full of fast moving corpusles and electric signals. I may be interpreted as a naivete, as I talk about biological functions with such simplfied assertions. Lets take a look at the causal thing here, means the main topic : I am here. I need to dicuss, why I am here, what made me to exist here, why am I talking like a maverick here, and other questions are left for you to decide..

Now a days, you see, I have so many aspects of my life around me, like, career, personal life, academics, my bloody landowner, my disheveled room, my reckless habit of not taking food at night ( as a habit ), a single module heck of Process Control (which is a crap), my ongoing novels, conferences to be attended in future weekends, my vehicle( which is the sucking the precious  non-renewable source of energy as a draculla), and wack wack wack...

But this sense of extravagant language comes out of me, whenever I get an opportunity to spit my frustrations on certain topics, which exactly happened today! You see, I am not pursuing the branch of study which I like the most, i.e. Physics, still I want to keep myself composed keeping a holistic approach towards life. Once I take a roller coaster ride on those topics, I wish that the slope never changes its sign. I was in my class and the sir was discussing about the issue topic. And one more time I got to speak on topics like, Universe, High Energy Physics, Gravity, Loop Quantum Gravity, String Theory, Large Hadron Collider, Astrobiology, Existence os Life, Importance of History of Science, effect of past on present, effect of Present on past, Cyborgs, Astificial Intelligence, Future Society, Purpose of our life, Technological advances( usually fanciful), Evolutionary Artificial Intelligence, Black Holes, White Holes, Naked Singularities, Flying Cars, Philosophy, Love, Emotions, Molestation of women in our country now a days, unbelievable reincarnation of India in Cricket, Future of Society, Extra-planetary establishments, Lunar Basements, Mars human basements, International Space Station, Chaos in Nature and everywhere, Cause of emotions in Human beings and its future form, Ruffle and Peace between Cyborgs and AI, Quantum Entanglement, Teleportation, Connectedness, Relationships, Cause of Human worry about his fleeting existence in this Universe, Materialistism existing in the Society, etc... etc.. etcetera..!!!!

So now, you are all well aware of the thoughts which puzzles me now and then, but still allows me to be a normal individual in this Vox Populi, and make my brain cells charged. The cells feel diffused when I keep it aloof of these discussions and study..!! 

Now it's time to say you good bye and good night. You may be wondering, as I go through such a deep trough and tall crest of emotions, which are easily symbolized from my earlier posts. But I promise you, the case is not the same with all the previous posts. Someptimes I find myself as a Poet, some other time as a Philosopher, and the Altruist, and the Maverick( as now), and a Lover, and an Engineer, and an Analyst, and an Observer, and a Fool, and a Weak Person, and a Strong Person, and a Brother, and a Son, and a Friend, and an Emotional Recluse, and a Human Being, and a Sober Person, and a Student, and the list will never end.. You see, our human brain is so complex, that it attains so many infinite dimension of instances of emotions, in such a short perios of time. Even this thought make me MAD..!!

I end up here, with a brief compendium of my future obligations and duties : 

1. Apply to some places

2. Process Control Internals on Wednesday

3. NIT Calicut National Technical Congress, iCON09 for Project Presentation event

4. Optoelectronics internal

5. Process Control assignment on Valves

6. Transducers Internals

7. National Coference, GEOMATRIX, IIT Bombay, 28th-1st March ( my abstract got selected ..am  a bit happy for it..!! )

8. Murder of my Teen, on 28th feb, by this Universal Clock of Time.
