My Mind to Science gap

Hunt for Gravitational wave. Article by: Rahul Kumar According to Einstein, we should expect to find this radiation everywhere in space. So, why is it still one of astronomy’s most elusive targets? Gravity alters the shape of space and time. Paths of light and massive bodies curve under its influence. When something  Agitate  space-time with enough energy – say a supernova explosion – the distortion spreads out in ripples, like a stone  when  dropped in a pond. Those ripples or waves are called gravitational waves. But this waves are very weak and only if the accelerating object has enough mass, it should be possible to spot them. At least, that’s what we suspect. we’ve been trying to detect them ever since. In Einstein's theory of  general relativity published in the year 1916 ,  gravity  is treated as a phenomenon resulting from the curvature of  spacetime . This curvature is caused by the presence of  mass . Generally, the more mass that is contained w

Bose-Einstein Condensates Evaluated for Communicating Among Quantum Computers. Quantum computers promise to perform certain types of operations much more quickly than conventional digital computers. But many challenges must be addressed before these ultra-fast machines become available, among them, the loss of order in the systems – a problem known as quantum decoherence – which worsens as the number of bits in a quantum computer increases. One proposed solution is to divide the computing among multiple small quantum computers that would work together much as today’s multi-core supercomputers team up to tackle big digital operations. The individual computers in such a system could communicate quantum information using Bose-Einstein condensates (BECs) – clouds of ultra-cold atoms that all exist in exactly the same quantum state. The approach could address the decoherence problem by reducing the number of bits necessary for a single computer. Now, a team of physicists at

Science is completely dependent on evidence but absence of evidence is not evidence of absence..... I was reading an article by the celebrated Cambridge physicist, Stephen Hawking, titled “There is no heaven; it is a fairy tale”. It is an interesting read, although it lacks any semblance of logic does not present any scientific basis for his claims. However, when someone of his stature makes a statement, it becomes gospel truth for the gullible readers. He has written books, most of which, according to a great scientist, John OM Bockris, makes for an interesting read, but is far removed from science. Present medical science avers that patients with motor neuron disease should not live beyond a couple of years of its diagnosis. In the case of Stephen Hawking, this scientific rule has been proven completely wrong! We are glad for that. May he live long! If “science is measurement and measurement is science,” as defined by Mary Curie, heaven cannot be a scientific concept.

My Theory on Structural Design and Mathematical Modelling of a Revolutionary  Uni-Directional Tidal Flap Turbine with Advanced Sea Bed Installation Methodology. The oceans have long been recognized as a potential source of energy. The ocean's motion carries energy in the form of tides, currents, and waves. The interest in tidal power is constantly increasing thanks to its high predictability, the huge potential of tides and the actual need for renewable energy. It explains the emergence of many tidal turbine designs, especially in Coastal Countries like India, often inspired from wind turbines. All of them are at a more or less early stage of development. But because of the high density of water, environmental drag forces are very large compared with wind  turbines of the same capacity. Therefore the knowledge acquired by the wind industry is certainly qualitatively useful, but it has to be reconsidered to be applicable to tidal turbines. The aim of the project presented in

The Discovery of Mathematical Beauty " Mock Theta Function" on the Death bed. On 22nd December, the world celebrated the 125th birth anniversary of Srinivasa Ramanujan the man known for natural genius how hailed as an all-time great mathematician, like Euler, Gauss or Jacobi. In his honour, the Indian government declared 2012 as the Year of Mathematics. I pay my tribute to the great mathematical genius who unraveled the many dimensions of Mathematics by leaving behind 4000 original theorems, despite his lack of formal education and a short life-span.– truth, beauty, elegance, abstractness, certainty, fun. While on his death bed, the brilliant Indian mathematician SrinivasaRamanujan cryptically wrote down functions he said came to him in dreams, with a hunch about how they behaved. Now 100 years later, researchers say they've proved he was right. "We've solved the problems from his last mysterious letters. For people who work in this area of math,

My theory on Structural Design and Control System of a Caudal Fin Robotic Fish. For nearly 200 years, engineers have been optimizing  one way of moving through water, essentially using a propeller. "Fish are very efficient," explained Xiaobo Tan, an assistant professor of electrical and computer engineering. "They can perform very efficient locomotion and maneuvering in the water."  Robotic fish - perhaps schools of them operating autonomously for months - could give researchers far more precise data on aquatic conditions, deepening our knowledge of critical water supplies and habitats. There are two types of crescent-shaped caudal fin propulsion: one is the left-right motion of body and caudal fin, such as tuna swordfish and shark; another is the up and down movement of body and caudal, such as whales and dolphins. Both of them have the same principle.  Swimming models of fish are various depended on the types and species of the fish i.e. Eel s
