CULTURAL QA 11202321A Q1 What are some jaw-dropping facts about the universe that most people don't know?
KR This data as gathered from NASA the root of the space research is given to show, the space data reproduced as tit bits might be JAW-DROPPING for kids; as elders, we ought to have studied similar details described in our literatures, which were named or tagged as Religion by the west. It ignored similar data which did not droop even the moustache; leave alone jaw dropping etc; so, my writing is simply science is JUST A DISCOVERY explained to the best of abilities of so-called scientists as an archaeologists do wrt the old articles-which are believed to be THAT. SUCH ideas enforced new articles on land to be sold commercially; but are we able to fly without precautions as we knew space already? no; why? The mystery of the space is in darkness; the data published are to convince the board for further funds; and funds are contributable only through the receipts made out of the facts found from space, sold on the earth, commercially; or else no one has a jaw to drop. The Indian who had read the scriptures do not have the jaw drooped; but one who has not seen the elephant, goes berserk, when he sees one, so too the west who had not read us , feel jaw dropped; and Mr G is unearthing such outsiders and produce facts without pillars. The EAGLE NEBULA SAW IN 1700 AD by a French within a limited circle , found 3 gas pillars spread like an eagle ,raising the wings; so he named it so; as we do in Sanskrit; space is a screen movie which keeps presenting at the same FIXTURES, new movies every day; so it is deduced as SPACE IS MOVING; since unseen after several hundred years, it is deuced as GONE WITH THE WIND; AND THUS THIS EAGLE NEBULA IS DEAD; otherwise the limited perception could not fix where it could have gone?; so scientists say certain movement commentaries; END; suppose the eagle were to reappear in 4050AD when none us would be there , in these frames, IT IS JAW DROPPING FOR THE 4050 KIDS; SPACE MYSTERY IS DESCRIBED IN MANY PLACES OF OUR SCRIPTURES, SIMILAR TO ONE DESCRIBED BY PEOPLE TODAY; where as then there were no photographs, and now we have, what will be the conclusion to ?; another explanation; whereas all these data cannot recreate exactly the big bang; but a kind of stimuli is prepared, by our feeding over the machine. So let's learn in that respect as we read as a piece of information as we do our literature and respond to them also. Below is NASA REPORT as to what they do? “Innovation. There are numerous cases of societal benefits linked to new knowledge and technology from space exploration. Space exploration has contributed to many diverse aspects of everyday life, from solar panels to implantable heart monitors, from cancer therapy to light‐weight materials, and from water‐purification systems to improved computing systems and to a global search‐and‐rescue system4. Achieving the ambitious future exploration goals as outlined above will further expand the economic relevance of space. Space exploration will continue to be an essential driver for opening up new domains in science and technology, triggering other sectors to partner with the space sector for joint research and development. This will return immediate benefits back to Earth in areas such as materials, power generation and energy storage, recycling and waste management, advanced robotics, health and medicine, transportation, engineering, computing and software. Furthermore, innovations required for space exploration, such as those related to miniaturisation, will drive improvements in other space systems and services resulting in higher performance and lower cost. These will in turn result in better services on Earth and better return of investment in institutional and commercial space activities. In addition, the excitement generated by space exploration attracts young people to careers in science, technology, engineering and mathematics, helping to build global capacity for scientific and technological innovation. Culture and Inspiration. Space exploration offers a unique and evolving perspective on humanity's place in the Universe, which is common to all. Every day, space exploration missions fulfill people's curiosity, producing fresh data about the solar system that brings us closer to answering profound questions that have been asked for millennia: What is the nature of the Universe? Is the destiny of humankind bound to Earth? Are we and our planet unique? Is there life elsewhere in the Universe? New Means to Address Global Challenges. Partnerships and capabilities developed through space exploration create new opportunities for addressing global challenges. Space exploration is a global endeavour contributing to trust and diplomacy between nations. Enhanced global partnerships and exploration capabilities may help advance international preparedness for protecting the Earth from catastrophic events such as some asteroid strikes, advancing collaborative research on space weather and protecting spacecraft by developing new means for space debris removal. Knowledge derived from space exploration may also contribute to implementing policies for environmentally sustainable development. In summary, space scientists and engineers who overcame past challenges could not have predicted all the ways in which their innovations are now being used on Earth. Though the precise nature of future benefits from space exploration is unpredictable, current trends suggest that significant benefits may be generated in areas such as new materials, health and medicine, transportation, and computer technology. New opportunities for job creation and economic growth are being created by private enterprises that are increasingly investing in space exploration and seeking ways to make space exploration more affordable and reliable, and thus, more sustainable and profitable. There is no activity on Earth that matches the unique challenges of space exploration. The first fifty years of space activity have generated benefits for people around the globe. This past record gives strong reason for confidence that renewed investments in space exploration will have similarly positive impacts for future generations. The challenge of space exploration drives a continuing effort to design ever more capable, reliable, and efficient systems requiring the utmost ingenuity. Space exploration missions use the unique capabilities of humans (e.g. on the spot decision‐making, cognitive adaptability, versatility) and robots (e.g. precision, sensory accuracy, reliability and expendability) to achieve ambitious exploration goals. Maximizing the productivity of these missions by demanding an effective partnership between humans and machines drives progress in human health care, robotics, automation, and other domains. Space exploration thus supports innovation and economic prosperity by stimulating advances in science and technology, as well as motivating the global scientific and technological workforce, thus enlarging the sphere of human economic activity. People often ask, If you like spin‐off products, why not just invest in those technologies straightaway, instead of waiting for them to happen as spin‐offs? The answer: it just doesn't work that way. Let's say you're thermodynamics, the world's expert on heat, and I ask you to build me a better oven. You might invent a convection oven, or an oven that’s more insulated or that permits easier access to its contents. But no matter how much money I give you, you will not invent a microwave oven. Because that came from another place. It came from investments in communications and radar. The microwave oven is traceable to the war effort, not to thermodynamics. Neil deGrasse Tyson, Space Chronicles, W.W. Norton & Company, 2012, p.210. Scientific research founded on data from space is also leading to discoveries with benefits for life on Earth. Ongoing research in the space environment of the ISS – in areas such as human physiology, plant biology, materials science, and fundamental physics – continues to yield insights that benefit society. For example, studies of the human body’s response to extended periods in the microgravity environment of the ISS are improving our understanding of the aging process. Fundamental scientific studies of the Martian environment, its evolution and current state represent important benchmarks of terrestrial planetary evolution, and hence, provide a model that some scientists believe will aid our growing understanding of climate change processes on Earth. Space exploration missions offer a unique perspective on humanity’s place in the Universe, satisfying our curiosity and inspiring wonder. They provide the best opportunities for addressing questions such as “What is the nature of the Universe”, "Is the destiny of humankind bound to Earth?", “Are we and our planet unique?”, and "Is there life elsewhere in the Universe?”. The first five decades of human activity in space had a profound impact on the social development of humankind. Yuri Gagarin's first moments in space and Neil Armstrong's first step on the Moon truly were “giant leaps for mankind” because they expanded our views about the limits of human travel and planted seeds for new thinking about where beyond Earth human existence might be possible. Stephen Hawking has argued that "to confine our attention to terrestrial matters would be to limit the human spirit". Understanding whether sustained human activity beyond Earth orbit is actually feasible will have a profound influence on cultural and intellectual life around the world and on humanity’s views and expectations of itself. An iconic symbol of space exploration's capacity to alter humankind's perception of its place in the Universe is the “Earthrise” photograph from the Apollo 8 mission in 1968 . Seen from lunar orbit, our home planet appeared fragile and isolated. The photograph caused many to develop a new perspective of our place in the cosmos and raised awareness of the need for global solutions to environmental challenges. Earth was seen as a seamless whole without national boundaries. Space exploration has also inspired the development of various movies, bestselling books, songs, photographs and paintings. Cultural products are a very visible symbol for how society relates to space exploration. Continued missions on the ISS, as well as planned human and robotic missions beyond LEO to the Moon, asteroids, and Mars will be key to generating scientific knowledge in the fields of planetary science, astrobiology, astrophysics, fundamental physics, life sciences, and the social sciences. For example, the ISS will continue to host studies to understand the physiological and biological effects of space on humans, such as bone and muscle loss, diminished immune efficiency, slower wound healing, and poorer cognitive performance. The results are helping the medical community to provide better health care for remote communities and aging populations. More broadly, the growing capacity to work in space for extended periods of time is likely to encourage further investment in the space economy – for example through mastery of sophisticated and delicate repair and construction tasks such as the servicing of the Hubble space telescope, and greater understanding of how to manage risks to human health and safety. Specifically, developments in propulsion, transportation, and infrastructure systems may lower the cost of space access and utilization, and thus enable expanded private investment in space cargo transport, space tourism, and resource utilization. In recent years, a number of agencies have conducted robotic space missions36 that have uncovered new knowledge about the solar system's past and present and are providing clues to help humankind understand how life began on Earth. In the coming decade, a variety of new missions to the Moon, asteroids, and Mars37 will deepen that understanding and shed light on the possibility of past or present life elsewhere in the solar system. Scientists now believe that water may once have flowed on the surface and that early conditions on the planet could have supported life. NASA's Curiosity rover, which has been exploring the Yellowknife Bay area on Mars since 2012, has discovered new evidence that Mars could have supported ancient microbial life. ESA and Ros cosmos plans for ExoMars missions in 2016 and 2018, and NASA's plans for a Mars 2020 rover will make further progress in the search for signs of life. These missions set the stage for what scientists agree will bring humankind even closer to revealing whether Martian life ever existed: a mission to return Mars samples back to Earth. The renewed interest in space exploration, generated by work on human missions beyond LEO is deeply inspirational. These missions will accelerate solar system exploration and discovery by leveraging humankind's natural ability to analyze and adapt to unpredictable situations. Human missions to the lunar vicinity that are being considered for the next decade will lay the groundwork for exploration of more distant destinations KR IRS 22 11 23 xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Q2 Does an Aadhaar card of an NRI look any different from a resident's Aadhaar card? My note- Aadhar of an NRI is an identification only in India, when he visits India. It is not recognised as identification in foreign country. I stand corrected if it is not so. KR: I write only against such information which is misleading. Aadhar card is only for Indians; Non-resident as the author means permanent resident -ex-Indian, residing abroad and a visitor to India, with a foreign passport, cannot obtain any Aadhar Card. Others who hold Indian Passports but residing abroad on Vocation, and resident >180 days, who are also termed as NON-RESIDENT, can have Aadhar with their Indian address only. It is only an identity card and not any citizenship card as the USA has under social security cards. As an identity card, not demanded legally and constitutionally, Aadhar is verified even in USA libraries as additional evidence. RBI circulars are there which were not known to even SBI who were demanding Aadhar for Joint account holders who were once Indian minors and now had turned Foreign nationals; and after the veracity of truth, wanted an identity of address and existence; and accepted any stamp of Passport, driving lice etc as they existed in foreign land. NRI as a main account opener has rules but as a joint account holder secondary is not preventable as the main operator is an Indian supported by Aadhar. NRI means just >180 days resident outside India and means either Indian passport or foreigners. Aadhar is concerned only with Indian and not Ex Indian. They may have dual citizenship. NRI may open an Indian account as we do in a foreign land; however, in a resident account they cannot be a Prime member. Q3 The Big Bang theory is not true but if it is then how could it be possible that there is a perfect pattern in the universe? (The earth is at a perfect distance from the sun and has life in a perfect way. Each planet is at perfect distance and much more) KR I had spoken many times and even now in Q1 on Big bang. The Q and A emerges suddenly as the context and the content are bizarre, as do appear as some kind of reply. There are jargons which were not understood by the copier and reproduced without head or tail. As humans we are only carried out by what comfort we do have; right from day one people were living only beside water liquid state; when solidified they kept moving for liquid water; does it mean they were in hot climate, all the time? No Eskimos could not have that GOLDILOCKS ZONE. Human thinking is wherever there is liquid water like earth that is a comfort zone aka Goldilocks zone. But imagine 13 billion years ago in some space spot there were only COFFEE SPRINGS and life was only in that and water was a poison, then the goldilocks can only be Coffee. So pitching on certain conducive factors named as Goldilocks is just a self-serving statement. Then the second Jargon-PERFECT DISTANCE. If you are placed at 25-degree cent from the Sun one is at a perfect distance as you need not have air-conditioned; then when one is touching 100 deg C you are not at a perfect distance; so, what does it matter if you were in minus 10 degree near Venus or Mars? People are booking space to reside in Moon foolishly; will they be JAUNTY ROADS, JUMPING 6 FEET WHILE THEY WALK? Is that the perfect distance? So space has no waste but stuffed in such a manner , as empty space from Virudu nagar to Kovil patti on both sides; or Maduranthakam vizhupuram or Haryana-delhi or CBE PaLAKAD ON THE HILLOCKS, OR SFO TO LOS ANGELES OR ARIZONA DALLAS on highways, space holds empty space. Don’t we like space between two compounds? Isn't 70% Goldilocks an empty space? So just a jargon when we are ignorant of what to do with that; suppose we can park in future our vehicles in the mid-air; will there be space for utility or empty? And the third is a fallacy about BIG BANG. Yes, it was there; Rig vedam says so; sound from Brahmam or Devi. Space, sound, air, non-vacuum, agni, water earth. Then air, liquidity and solid and vacuum. Prakriti changing its shapes and Gunas. Potential energy becoming Kinetic and particles travelling in different accelerations fastest, faster, slower, becoming reasonably moving than it was once moving; our perception thinks as halted; but other perceptions think as moving faster or retarding as we perceive; longest distanced (one light year is 9.83 billion years; and so far appeared to have seen with Hubble to naked eyes as 46 Billion light years distance) was presumed to be 13 billion year old to shortest Golden eagle nebula as young one; { I don’t know why the age of the solar system was not considered as 450 billion years older (46*9) but only 13 billion) . Rig Vedam Nasadiya suktam raised a wonderful question: WHO KNOWS? Even if the Big bang is recreated in Switzerland, which scientist will know about it after 26 billion years to know the 13 billion years effect? Then as the NASA article said, why are we spending so many billions of dollars? ONLY FOR EARTH RESOURCES AS COMMERCIAL VIABILITY? WHAT IS THE BASIS TO PRESUME THAT PARRY CORNER FROM T NAGAR ONLY IS THE OLDEST? WHAT IS THE BASIS THAT THEY ARE NOT CONTEMPORARY? THUS, BIG BANG IS SHAKY. But matter is truth undestroyable and the source is brahmam; if you wish you name it otherwise. Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx KR IRS 22 11 23 Q4 What is the power of reading? KR What patriotism for Fredrik Douglass? 1818-1895. Not the Demosthenes, (born 384 bce, Athens [Greece]—died Oct. 12, 322, Calauria, Argolis), Athenian statesman, recognized as the greatest of ancient Greek orators, who roused Athens to oppose Philip of Macedon and, later, his son Alexander the Great. He could read nothing. Hitler, Churchill who read nothing? Greek philosophers whose philosophy is only being oratorized today by the west? Francis Bacon on books : 'some books are to be tasted, others to be swallowed, and some few to be chewed and digested. '[1561] Descartes? CHARAWAKA OF Ramayana, Vithura of Mahabharatha, Suka of Bhagavatham, BirthrHari, Yagna- valkya , Maitreyi ,Gargi, Raja Raja Cholan, and so many along with mahatma Gandhi and now Modiji? Many orators did not study; many did not read many books; of course, books do teach freedom but many who read in India today are tongue tied? I have not heard of Fredrik but yes Martin Luther King.

QUORA ANSWERS NEED NOT BE 100% CORRECT ANSWERS. Compiled and posted by R. Gopala Krishnan, 80, on 21-11-2023. Q1 What are some jaw-dropping facts about the universe that most people don't know? A1 Subham Singh, Engineer by choice Jul 28 The universe is a vast and mysterious place, filled with awe-inspiring phenomena and mind-boggling facts. Here are some jaw-dropping facts that might leave you marveling at the wonders of the cosmos: We are made of star stuff: The atoms in our bodies, the carbon, oxygen, and other elements, were forged inside stars through nuclear fusion billions of years ago. The universe is expanding: The universe is not static; it's continuously expanding in all directions. Galaxies are moving away from each other due to this expansion. My note- Mr “Silk road” also explained the same in very simple manner-As the bread bakes, the raisins move away from each other, but they don't really change their size. Everything in the universe is moving away from everything else, but space itself doesn't have a size or a shape in QA 17/11-2023. Most of the universe is invisible: Dark matter, an unknown form of matter, makes up about 27% of the universe, and dark energy, a mysterious force driving the universe's accelerated expansion, accounts for about 68%. Black holes can "sing": Black holes emit sound waves due to the vibrations of their event horizons, but the sounds are too low-frequency for human ears to detect. The Pillars of Creation are long gone: The iconic "Pillars of Creation" in the Eagle Nebula, famous for the Hubble Space Telescope image, were destroyed by a nearby supernova explosion, but we will only see their disappearance in about 1,000 years, as the light takes that long to reach us. The cosmic microwave background: The faint glow of radiation left over from the Big Bang is called the cosmic microwave background (CMB). It provides crucial evidence for the Big Bang theory and is visible from all directions in the universe. The vast emptiness: Despite the enormous number of stars and galaxies, the universe is mostly empty space. Galaxies are separated by vast distances, making the universe 99.9999999999999% empty. Time dilation near black holes: In the vicinity of a black hole, time slows down significantly due to its intense gravitational pull. This phenomenon, known as time dilation, is predicted by Einstein's theory of general relativity. There could be parallel universes: Some theories in cosmology, such as the multiverse theory, propose the existence of parallel universes, each with its own set of physical laws and constants. These jaw-dropping facts about the universe remind us of how much we have yet to discover and how truly magnificent and mysterious the cosmos is. Q2 Does an Aadhaar card of an NRI look any different from a resident's Aadhaar card? A2 Shobhit Kesarwani, Consultant (2020–present)Aug 3 No visual distinction between the Aadhaar cards of an NRI (Non-Resident Indian) and a resident Indian. An Aadhaar card is a unique identification document issued by the Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) to residents of India, including NRIs who meet certain criteria. Regardless of whether you are a resident Indian or an NRI, the Aadhaar card contains the following basic information: Aadhaar Number: A 12-digit unique identification number assigned to the individual. Full Name: The full name of the cardholder. Date of Birth: The date of birth of the cardholder. Gender: The gender of the cardholder. Address: The residential address of the cardholder. Photograph: A photograph of the cardholder. NRIs can apply for and obtain an Aadhaar card if they fulfil the eligibility criteria set by the UIDAI. The process for NRIs to apply for an Aadhaar card is similar to that of resident Indians, and they need to provide their biometric data (fingerprints and iris scan) during the enrolment process. Please note that since regulations and processes can change over time, it's always a good idea to check the latest guidelines and requirements issued by the UIDAI or the Indian government to ensure you have the most up-to-date information regarding Aadhaar cards for NRIs. My note- Aadhar of an NRI is an identification only in India, when he visits India. It is not recognised as identification in foreign country. I stand corrected if it is not so. Q3 The Big Bang theory is not true but if it is then how could it be possible that there is a perfect pattern in universe? (The earth is at perfect distance from sun and have life in a perfect way. Each planet is at perfect distance and much more) A3 Krister Sundelin, E-learning Producer (2020–present)5h Hello, Haresh Kumar. If the Big Bang theory was not true, you will have to find another way of explaining the evidence for it: cosmic redshift, cosmic microwave background, distribution of light elements, structures in space etc etc. And there is not a perfect pattern in the universe. Rather, it is chaotic and destructive, which our planet bears the scar of – some more visible than others. But in a chaotic universe, where planets can be at any distance from their sun, you will find some who are in the “Goldilocks zone” – the just about right distance where water can be liquid, of just about the right size. And of course it will be on one such planet where life can evolve – you would not even be here to ask that question on any planet which could not harbour life. After all, we live on one planet out of eight, around a pretty average star out of 100 billion or more in this galaxy alone, in an observable universe with perhaps as many as 2 trillion galaxies in the bit of the universe which we can see. If only this planet could harbour life, I would not call that a “perfect pattern”, but rather a huge waste of space. Q4 What is the power of reading? A4 Silk Road, AI Expert Mon Born into slavery in Maryland around 1818. He didn't know his father or his birthday. He was separated from his mother when he was a baby, and suffered a lot of abuse and hardship as a slave.But he had a dream of being free. One of the things that helped him achieve his dream was learning to read. He started learning the alphabet from his master's wife, who was kind to him at first. But when her husband found out, he forbade her to teach him anymore. He said that learning would make him unfit to be a slave. But the boy didn't give up. His will to be free was too strong. He tackled various methods to learn more, like getting books from different sources, copying letters from signs and newspapers, and practicing writing in secret. He even tricked some white boys into teaching him by pretending he knew more than them. One of the books that influenced him a lot was The Columbian Orator, which was a collection of speeches and writings on natural rights and freedom. He read about the American Revolution and the abolition of slavery in other countries. He also read the Bible and learned about God's love and justice. His thirst for reading opened his mind and his heart. It made him realize that slavery was wrong and that he deserved to be free. It also gave him the courage and the skills to fight against slavery. He escaped from his master in 1838 and became a leader of the abolitionist movement. He wrote books, gave speeches, published newspapers, and helped other slaves escape. So you see, this is an example of how reading can change your life and the world.Reading can give you knowledge, power, inspiration, and hope. It can help you understand yourself and others better. It can make you a better person and a better citizen.And this is what it certainly did to the young slave boy who became the legendary abolitionist and hero. His name was Frederick Douglass. Q5 Which fruits are not good for the liver? A5 Teamedical, Experienced Medical Team18h Fruits may be packed with vitamins, minerals, and essential nutrients, but some are not so great for our livers. Often times, it's about eating them in moderation, but there are a few fruits that should be limited when it comes to taking care of our precious livers. Here are five fruits to be mindful of when trying to keep your liver healthy: 1. Dried Fruits – Dried fruits are much higher in sugar than fresh fruits. The high sugar content in dried fruits can increase the fat levels in the liver, leading to inflammation. 2. Citrus Fruits – Citrus fruits are full of vitamin C, but they can also be acidic. This can cause irritation and inflammation of the liver. 3. Avocados – While avocados are full of beneficial nutrients and fatty acids, they can also be high in fat. Eating too many avocados can increase fat levels in the liver, leading to inflammation. 4. Bananas – Bananas are high in sugar and potassium, and while the potassium is beneficial for the liver, the sugar can cause inflammation. 5. Grapes – Grapes are high in fructose, which can lead to an accumulation of fat in the liver, leading to liver inflammation. Now, this isn't to say that these fruits should be avoided completely. In moderation, these fruits can be beneficial to the body, including the liver. However, it's important to keep an eye on how many of these fruits we're consuming. When it comes to our livers, it's best to focus on getting nutrition from a variety of healthy foods. Fresh vegetables and lean proteins are great sources of the nutrients the liver needs to stay healthy. There are also certain herbs and supplements that can help support the liver. It's important to remember that our livers are incredibly vital organs and should be treated with care Eating a healthy, balanced diet, and avoiding overloading on unhealthy sugars and fats, is the best way to keep your liver healthy. Eating in moderation and being mindful of the foods that can be damaging will ensure that your liver stays in top shape -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "iyer123" group.
