Is travelling in past and future possible?

Image
  Travelling in time, from one point of time to another is the most fascinating topic of science fiction from last one century. A vehicle called machine in which we can sit and ready for adventures in the past and able to see dinosaurs or travelling in future and to see over great-great grandchildren and lives on other exoplanets. It was H.G. Wells who gave a novel based on science fiction the ‘Time Machine’ in which Wells opened the idea of time travel in a machine and then there were movies and serials or comics on time travelling. And there were different paradoxes related to time travel and theories of warm hole in a fabric of time in which one can move from one place of time to another. And these theories also forced theoretical physicist Stephen Hawking to think on travelling backward and forward in time and then he reached on conclusion that time travel is not at all possible. Generally, the perspective of Albert Einstein that advanced the theory of relativity of time and sp...

Jainism – What is Reality?

    It is real as well as unreal and -          It is universal as well as particular. -          It is permanent as well as momentary. -          It is one as well as many. Reality has infinite aspects which are all relative and Reality has infinite aspects which are all relative and we can know only some of these aspects all our judgements Syadvada or Sapta Bhangi Naya is the theory of relativity of knowledge. It means dialectic of the seven steps or the theory of seven fold judgement. The word Syad, literally means probable, perhaps may be and sayadvada is sometimes translated as the theory of probability or the doctrine of may be. But it is not in the literal sense of probability that the word syad is used here. Probability, suggests scepticism and Jainism is not scepticism sometimes the word syad is translated as somehow but this too smacks of agnostici...

Covid 19- We are programmed and not educated

Image
What we learn in the past, we behave and live accordingly and the present second wave of Coronavirus pandemic in India, forced us to evaluate what we had learned in our past and how we were living.   Basically we all start the process of programming from our childhood and we live our whole life according to what we are programmed.   A three year old boy when wanted to understand the world through his senses and introspection and wanted to understand the objective and subjective world and at that time every mother asked him to sleep or else the ghost will come. And we all programmed that there is a ghost. Ghost is not something but the first step of sowing fear in a child mind and the very disaster stride to crush confidence and there is ghost and fear for every child is the first learning to them.   Unfortunately, our society is not teaching the scientific phenomena and rationality to children but superstitions and religion, senseless, rubbish fundamentals of fallacie...

Superstition and overwhelming religion aid second wave of Coronavirus in India

Image
  I was amazed when one of my friend and former corporator of Ajmer Municipal Corporation told me that in a funeral of his relative, a covid death, dozens of relatives gathered despite they knew that the death was of Coronavirus. Moreover, I was shocked that they also performed a ritual of eating bread together to show that in the eyes of god now the whole community is together and with the mourning family. It is also shocking for me that in Bhilwara district of Rajasthan, people suffering from cold and fever were going to Tantrik (self proclaimed gods’ man) rather than to doctors. It was also awful that fake doctors are working in rural regions and treating covid patients while the country is struggling from the second wave of Covid very badly. The second wave of covid really hit hard and being as a journalist, I am working and reporting cases and deaths and funeral (which is really depressing) and reporting about oxygen to patients, about mismanagement of government and pan...
