Recursive religious behaviour.

Religious people who believe in God, tend to leave there problem to God without analysing them in depth. This lack of analysis lead to baseless fear from the problems which could be easily solved, or in some cases not problems at all. This fear blocks the analytical power of the person and forces him to take refuge in God's belief.

Now since most of the problems are easy or not problem at all they get resolved with little or no effort and the credit goes to the God. Every time the credit for solving any problem goes to the God, the belief gets stronger and now even if they suffer from some problems they blame themselves for their sins but keep believing in God.

The more they believe, the more they turn towards the God when they encounter any problem in their life. This cycle goes on and on until you take charge and start analysing things and try to solve them yourself instead of going and asking help from the God.

A hypothesis on elementary particles.

I think elementary particles are like bubbles in the space. If you keep shooting them with higher and higher energies, they will keep breaking into smaller and smaller particles.

Still no mass will be found because as I have stated earlier that mass is nothing but space taken by these bubbles (particles).

May be neutron stars and black holes are nothing but a giant unified bubbles where as other objects like stars and planets are only a big bunch of small bubbles.

I still need to learn a lot before I could theorise any of these hypothesis but I believe this can answer many unanswered questions.

Faster than light!

For most of the physicists, it is hard to conceive the idea of anything being faster than light. The problem lies in the rejection of the need for a medium for light to travel. Einstein thought that any medium would eventually slow the light down. Einstein could not conceive and idea of medium which is not a physical matter.

He said that space has curves in General Theory of Relativity but he never tried to join his special theory of relativity with it. If space can have curves then it can also have density. And if you consider the space as the medium of light then any change in the density of space will change the speed of light too.

This is in response to:

Study rejects "faster than light" particle finding

Why light is (was) the fastest one?

Whatever we observe in the universe is through electromagnetic waves. That is the reason why,whatever moves faster than light can not (or real hard to) be observed. Till now there were many phenomenon in QED which were explained based on events happening backward in time. I believe that all those are nothing but particles moving faster than light. That is why we observe the outcome of the event before we could observe the start of the event itself. I always feel that we should keep it simple.

Last Day at IIM Calcutta

Inspite of happiness of completion of CPMSD-05, we can see the pain of fairwell in many of the participants. Before going to sleep I wanted to put these photographs as a memento of this time.

For the rest of the pictures, please visit this album.

Theories that need to be unified.

Space can unify many theories but to accomplish that we need to understand that space is not void.

There are many theories and facts which seem to be different but really very tightly connected. I am enlisting them here for future reference:

1. Light is affected by the geometry of space (gravity).
2. Gravity is proportional to the mass of the matter.
3. Mass is an unknown property. We are only expecting the Higgs to be found at LHC. But, if I am not going in wrong direction then we will never find Higgs. See: Higgs Boson

A not so widely known fact about 'Space'

Any volume of space containing no particle of matter, is still not empty. Even the absolute vacuum has a pressure measure of zero but in universe there are places which have negative pressure.

This proves that even when there is no matter available, we can not call it empty and thus space is not empty but filled with something which is the origin (zero) of the frame of reference for all the matter (not for dark matter). This is why we think that space is empty while the reality is that, it is not.
