He is Mr Rajaram, former IRS On Saturday, 9 December, 2023 at 10:54:17 am IST, Narayanaswamy Iyer < [email protected]> wrote: Dear folks Latest examples of incorrigible idiocy:- (1) *May be space theory by Einstein on clock which is well settled; higher one goes age decreases, so time wont go faster; time is a mental makeup; and time flies according to your mind and not floors.* My comments:- Time never was "a mental makeup" except to fools like KR ex-IRS 8 12 23. On th Earth, we determine time relative to the rising, setting of the Sun and the rotation of the Earth. (2) "*S**hadows may be not in vacuum but it is not wind as a factor even. It is a long theory which I will write separately later.*" My comments:- There is no "long theory" about shadows except in the tortured diseased mind of KR ex-IRS. Vacuum or no vacuum, shadows are ast when the rays of light are interrupted by an opaque object in their way. (3) "*So many lakes in the world are there and Baikal is also one.*" A totally irrelevant and idiotic statement, when the topic is about "endemic species in Lake Baikal". Is brain-dead KR ex-IRS saying that there are "endemic species" in Lake Manasarovar, in the Great Lakes of North America, and in the Dead Sea? (4) *"Looki**ng at Sun is different enunciated in Vedas."* My comments:- Typical gutter-sewer broken English by a garbage-collector. The yajur-vedam has several slokams regarding the Sun such as:- thath savithur varenyam bhargo devasya deemahi dhiyoyonah prachodayaath; sooryascha mamanyuscha manyupathayascha manyu kruthebhyaha; aaditho vaa esha ethnmandalam thapathi thathra thaa ruchruchasthadyachaa mandalagum; aadithyo vai theja ojo balam yashaschakshu shrothra mathma mano manyur manur mruthyussathyo mithro vaayu aakashaha prano lokapaala. The pronunciation, enunciation and uchcharippu of the words "savithur", "soorya", "aadithya" and so on are the same, if learned under the guidance of respected, respectable, learned, competent, committed gurus, whether in a paata-shaala or at home. (5) *"**Uncanny self-proclamation statements without evidence is illogical."* My comments:- A habitual incurable mortal sin of KR ex-IRS. (6) "*Hurting is defined as causing mental injury and not self-proclaimed sufferings which any women would make initially."* My comments:- Absolute typical nonsense. Hurting is causing injury, whether physical, mental, physiological, financial, emotional, reputational, or otherwise. It is not confined to women. Men can, and do, also cause hurt. (7) "*Hunger does not decrease because of cooking; if you postpone a while eating hunger will subside*." My comments:- Another unfounded, unconsidered opinion by a complete fool. A person cooking food inhales all the vapours of the food being cooked, thereby assuaging his or her hunger for a while. Hunger will not subside if you postpone eating. (8) "*Love will make one skid in stature where one will hurt the other; but love alone crosses over the sufferings; so, Love is a cause of suffering only."* My comments:- Absolute rubbish, as usual. When a parent cuddles a baby, love flows both ways. There is no hurt, no suffering. There is joy, and rejoicing. Same when we hug friends and long-lost relatives.

Q1 What are some interesting facts about physics? #2The higher you are (building-wise), the faster time will go. Time is a hard concept to understand when you look at it through the lens of physics. A couple of seconds while standing on the ground will go slower than for someone who sits on a high building, like the Empire State building. It is best explained by Einstein and his famous theory of relativity. KR: Where it is said? May be space theory by Einstein on clock which is well settled; higher one goes age decreases, so time wont go faster; time is a mental makeup; and time flies according to your mind and not floors. #5Wind casts an invisible shadow. Shadows are not always cast by objects, and winds can do it too. The only problem? We can’t see them with the naked eye. Wind, a movement of a gas that varies from a small gust to full-on thunderstorms, can cast a small shadow only visible with the help of machines and physics. KR False; shadows may be not in vacuum but it is not wind as a factor even. It is a long theory which I will write separately later. Q2 What are some things every Indian should know about Indian history? KR Parsi history I had written long back and what is written here is universal and not only for Parsis Q3 How did Lake Baikal end up with so many endemic species? KR Lake Malawi/Nyassa/Niassa is home to the highest number of fish species (800-1000) of any lake in the world, with 90 percent of those species being cichlids that are only found in this lake. The northern snakehead is a species of snakehead fish native to temperate East Asia, in China, Russia, North Korea, and South Korea. Their natural range goes from the Amur River watershed in Siberia and Manchuria down to Hainan So many lakes in the world are there and Baikal is also one. Q4 Why is it that the Sun does not affect the human body? KR Where did Saladin got that idea, to while away so many peoples’ valuable time? Looking at Sun is different enunciated in Vedas. Q5 What are some psychological facts that people don't know? G If a person speaks less, but speak fast, they keep secrets. KR A conservative may be anything, including, knowledgeable, or ignorant, or afraid to talk etc, but cannot say keeping up secrets; (Sigmund Fraud); Sanjeev in TV serial Tamil speaks so fast; Vijay actor speaks faster; a stammering clerk may speak faster; and what is the corelation to keeping secrets? So Uncanny self-proclamation statements without evidence is illogical. G When someone says I hate you, it really means “you hurt me”. KR A child in USA says to mom “I Hate you” which is common to see; does the cause of kid as hurting is genuine? Hurting is defined as causing mental injury and not self-proclaimed sufferings which any women would make initially. G If we cook when we are hungry, our hunger will automatically decrease. KR Hunger does not decrease because of cooking; if you postpone a while eating hunger will subside. G 70% of people will not show interest in success if we tell them about it. KR 99.99% are pretenders and hypocrites; only level of Adi Shankara will genuinely ignore success and failure who is called STHITHA PRAGNAN IN B G G We can forget about daily activities when we fall in love. KR Love will make one skid in stature where one will hurt the other; but love alone crosses over the sufferings; so, Love is a cause of suffering only; ENINUM KADAL SEIVEER BHARATHI. G Having eye contact for more than 6 seconds without looking away or blinking reveals a desire for either sex or murder. KR Absolute negative factor; one who speaks with eye contact only is the honest person. G Most of the people hate their own voice on video or on a phone call. KR Hasty theory G Being able to instantly respond with sarcasm to a silly question is a sign of a healthy brain. KR Wit is brain; sarcasm is CHO // Bernard shah // Ottakoothan //, only making a kind of remark, making fun of the opposite. G You can fool your mind into thinking that you are happy and smiling if you put a pencil in between your teeth. KR So many gestures are there including closing the eyes. Pencil is biting the carbon. G People who love black colour have the most colourful minds. KR Then Veeramani and EVR have such minds than the sabarimala Bhakthas; correct? ---------- Forwarded message --------- From: *'gopala krishnan' via iyer123* <[email protected]> Date: Fri, 8 Dec 2023 at 19:13 Subject: [iyer123] CULTURAL QA 12-2023-08 To: Patty Thatha <[email protected]>, Iyer < [email protected]>, Kerala Iyer <[email protected]> CULTURAL QA 12-2023-08 All the BELOW QA are from Quora DIGEST to me on 08-12-2023. QUORA ANSWERS NEED NOT BE 100% CORRECT ANSWERS. Compiled and posted by R. Gopala Krishnan, 80, on 08-12-2023. Q1 What are some interesting facts about physics? A1 Deepaktopzone, Mon #1The LEGEND of an apple falling on Newton is wrong. We’ve all heard the story of an apple falling on Isaac Newton's head, but few know it was a myth. In reality, Newton drew inspiration from apples, not because one hit his head, but because they fell straight down and not sideways. This observation helped him develop the theory of universal gravity. #2The higher you are (building-wise), the faster time will go. Time is a hard concept to understand when you look at it through the lens of physics. A couple of seconds while standing on the ground will go slower than for someone who sits on a high building, like the Empire State building. It is best explained by Einstein and his famous theory of relativity. #3The screens of smartphones work thanks to the electric charges leaving our fingers. Touch phones work thanks to the physics behind the human body itself. When we touch the screens with our fingers, we let out a small number of electric charges that register with the mechanics and allow us to interact. For this reason, things like rubber, fingernails, and others don’t register My note- Touch screens in ATMs work on this principles. When we touch the cones behind are activated. #4It’s nearly impossible to sink in the Dead Sea. The Dead Sea is popular for the number of tourists that visit it, but also for having a large amount of salt in it. Salt is not only good for food, but also a good way of making the water much denser. There is so much of it in that sea that people who swim there have little to no chance of drowning. Of course, it is still important to keep things safe. #5Wind casts an invisible shadow. Shadows are not always cast by objects, and winds can do it too. The only problem? We can’t see them with the naked eye. Wind, a movement of a gas that varies from a small gust to full-on thunderstorms, can cast a small shadow only visible with the help of machines and physics. #6Light gets much slower in water. Water is not only a refresher at the end of the day, but also a great stopper for the wavelengths of light. Light travels through air at a very high speed, and that is thanks to its small density. Water, however, is thicker. Since every molecule has surface tension, light gets distorted due to the amount of energy needed to pass through. My note- Also energy loss occurs. Physics studied in the 1st year about Refraction of light. #7Galileo Galilei proved his theory of free fall with the help of the leaning tower of Pisa. While Galileo Galilei might have created the theory of free fall, he had to prove it by experimenting. He did it by throwing two cannonballs of the same material, but different masses, from the leaning tower of Pisa. His theory would be further supported by missions to the moon. #8The universe is growing every second. The universe is already a vast space full of planets, stars, and other celestial bodies. But it is still not big enough. The universe is growing at a high rate every second, expanding in every direction, getting colder and faster at the same time. This expansion has been going on for billions of years. #9Water can boil and freeze at the same time. At the same temperature, water can either boil or freeze. A triple point is a point where the temperature, pressure, and pressurevalue all coincide. The fact that all three states—liquid, ice, and water vapor—are present at this time allows water to boil and freeze at the same temperature. MURAD ŞAHİNOĞLU· Thu Addition to #1: I knew it! I also know Einstein invited “Time” to his wedding and “Time” came. Because “Time” is relative…😁 Addition to #3: You can use to tap on your touchscreen phone. Addition to #5: Fire also casts a shadow but some people keeps insisting on that it doesn’t… Q2 What are some things every Indian should know about Indian history? A2 Siddharth Godbole, I love learning about history, and know a bit myself! 13h Every Indian should know of the beautiful community of Parsis, who have lived up to their millennia-old promise to do no harm and bring all good. The Parsis, known around the world as the Zoroastrians, are an ethnoreligious group from present-day Iran. They follow the religion of the ancient Persians of the age of Alexander, a beautiful and tolerant culture. In the 7–8th century AD, the Muslim Rashidun Caliphate conquered all of Iran. They set out to Islamify the country with one motto in mind: Convert, or die. This was a terrible time for the Parsi community, and many were forced to convert to save their lives. However, a large diaspora of Parsis took the courageous journey to leave their homeland and travel east. In this migration, they ended up in the Kingdom of Gujrat, headed by King Jadi Rana. Jadi Rana was a Hindu king who had a reputation across the subcontinent as a wise and fair man. When the Parsis arrived in his lands, they requested asylum, agreeing to learn the local language and adopt the local clothing. However, Jadi Rana said that he could not in good conscience accept such a large diaspora of people, as there was a risk of overpopulation in his kingdom. What happened next is one of my favorite parts of history in the world: Jadi Rana motioned to a vessel of milk filled to the very brim to signify that his kingdom was already full and could not accept refugees. In response, one of the Zoroastrian priests added a pinch of sugar to the milk, thus indicating that they would not bring the vessel to overflowing and indeed make the lives of the citizens sweeter. Jadi Rana gave shelter to the emigrants and permitted them to practice their religion and traditions freely. To this day, the Parsis have followed through on their promise. They have caused no religious or military disturbance, and have peacefully assimilated into all facets of Indian society. They make up some of India’s greatest artists and exports (Freddie Mercury was a Parsi!) and are also a crucial part of India’s economy (Tata was founded by Parsis). I will leave you with one last story. During the partition of India, while the British were leaving, they tried to give the Parsis special treatment and warn them about the large Hindu majority (the Parsis and British got along well). In response to this, it is said that the Parsi leaders told the British that for thousands of years, they have been like family with the Hindus. Why would that change now?So forever remember the Parsis, and what they have done for Indian society! My note- I had a Parsi training mate from Delhi for a new technology training in Chennai in 1992’s. He was my roommate. I recollect the incident of sugar adding to milk filled to edge of glass told to me by him. Q3 How did Lake Baikal end up with so many endemic species? A3 Gary Meaney, passionate fan of all things animal3y So, for those who don’t know, Baikal is an enormous lake in Siberia, equivalent in area to Belgium. In fact, by volume it’s the largest body of freshwater in the world, containing some 26,000 cubic kilometres of H2O. And it happens to be a hive of biodiversity, housing thousands upon thousands of species - most of which are found nowhere else. Its most well-known endemic is the Baikal seal, or nerpa - a majestically globular creature which is the world’s only species of freshwater seal and the smallest pinniped alive today. I wrote on its mysterious origins before, here: Gary Meaney's answer to How did a population of landlocked seals manage to establish itself in Lake Baikal, of all places?, The lake also has three whole families of endemic fish. Of these, the most common and interesting one is the golomyankas. Also known as Baikal oilfish, they have no scales, no skin pigment, no pelvic fins, no swim bladders, and no cone cells in their eyes. About 70% of the fish in Baikal are either of the two species of golomyanka. Almost 40% of a golomyanka’s bodyweight is just fatty oil, which is used in place of a swim bladder to regulate buoyancy. In my opinion, they’re easily the strangest freshwater fish in the world. I should also mention one of the lake’s most alien creatures - the acanthogammarids. These are an endemic family of large, spiny amphipod crustaceans, and they look downright bizarre. There are many more endemics in Baikal which I could go on about, but I must address the main question - why does this lake have thousands of endemic species? Part of the answer is isolation. Lakes are to aquatic creatures what islands are to land-dwelling ones - surrounded by an impassable “sea”. So, when populations of organisms end up in the lake, very little genetic admixture occurs with their counterparts outside the lake. Before long, a new species emerges and it cannot leave Baikal, because of isolation. It also helps that Lake Baikal is the oldest lake in the world. It formed about 25–30 million years ago, when the Eurasian plate drifted apart from the Amur plate, creating a rift in between which was filled with water. Thus, the lake has been isolated for a very long time, time enough to accumulate countless species. Secondly, there’s the factor of depth. Baikal holds many world records - not only is it the most voluminous, the oldest and also one of the clearest lakes in the world, it’s the planet’s deepest as well. Its deepest point is some 1,642 metres below the surface, which is incredible. The thing with a very deep lake is that as you move down, the pressure increases rapidly. If a fish finds itself under more (or less) water pressure than its body is adapted for, it dies. Since a given species can only survive in a certain band of depth, deeper lakes always have more species. In short, a combination of isolation from land and incredible depth breed the perfect conditions for endemism in Baikal. I’ll leave you with one last fact - of all the surface freshwater on Earth, one-fifth of it is found in this one lake. That’s more than all the Great Lakes combined! Q4 Why is it that the Sun does not affect the human body? A4 Ken Saladin, Author, Anatomy & Physiology—The Unity of Form and Function Wed Where did you get that idea? Good and bad effects of the sun on the human body: Vitamin D synthesis, bone health, calcium balance Folate degradation, infertility, birth defects, prenatal death Thermoregulation, body temperature, hyperthermia Destruction of immune cells of the skin, lowering defense Dermal collagen damage, photoaging of the skin Suntan and sunburn DNA degradation, mutation Skin cancer Retinal stimulation, vision Melatonin secretion, mood variations, sleep cycle effects Numerous circadian rhythms of physiology Cataracts Postnatal changes in eye color Melanization; evolution of human skin colors Good versus bad effects are a matter of intensity and duration of solar radiation. My note- I have read elsewhere long back, if one look at the bright sun for 2-3 minutes opening a defective eye (closing fully the other), vision of that eye will increase little by little. Q5 What are some psychological facts that people don't know? A5 Karen Collins, Health Psychologist｜Life Coach2h If a person speaks less, but speak fast, they keeps secrets. When someone says I hate you, it really means “you hurt me”. If we cook when we are hungry, our hunger will automatically decrease. 70% of people will not show interest in success if we tell them about it. We can forget about daily activities when we fall in love. Having eye contact for more than 6 seconds without looking away or blinking reveals a desire for either sex or murder. Most of the people hate their own voice on video or on a phone call. Being able to instantly respond with sarcasm to a silly question is a sign of a healthy brain. You can fool your mind into thinking that you are happy and smiling if you put a pencil in between your teeth. People who love black color have the most colorful minds. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "iyer123" group.
