E=MC 2
The greatest poetry of all times is E=mc2 and I was happy to come across a book called ‘A Biography of the worlds Most Famous Equation’ by David Bodamis.
The readings of the book lead me to think about these:
1. ‘Discovery in the grand manner is for young people.’ ‘Anjil kaivathathu 50thil kayiyumoo’ We and the world….I guess was my best article till date, that I like which you will find in Sunday, January 15, 2006, The World & We. Even the same with regard to exams…
2. Why do people suffer?? For what crime of Japanes have they to face the aftereffect of the bombardment even today…Why had the Pandavas to undergo so much of sufferings in the Mahabaratha, and so also Rama in Ramayana??
Einsten said, ‘Had I known that Germans would not have succeeded in making an atomic bomb, I would not have lifted my figures – not a single figure.
Arent most of us like that?? Do not like to see others progress?
Another reason was/may be because they were comparatively weaker. I remember having put forth my view in an article, that what we need is to discover something, that can absorb and remove the after effects of such fight as seen in the Ramayana and Mahabharata fights.
Alfred Noble, for the remark in the newspaper, on the news that he was dead, because of the dangerous invention of dynamite, started the noble price. And today he is known for that. Its how positive thinking, helps. Make the constructive use of the criticisms.
3. The chapter on How Life began and how it would end was fascinating.
4. Every Hero needs an assistant, Moses had Aaron, Jesus had his disciples, Einstein got Freudlich….Krishna had Balram, Rama had Laxmana, so also in our daily life, just look at your home or office.
5. In the equation C stands for Celeritas=speed of light=swiftness=6,70,000,000/-
6. What you think is the major component of sun?? Till Ms. Paynes, through Spectroscope put forth it was hydrogen, it was belived, it was iron. ‘They said iron agaien. Things are hidden, it depends on how we interpret. Just as the ring tone of my mobile. Some think it to be ‘Narana aye ingeny’ others think it to be ‘Kani kannum neram’
7. And then there was Einstein’s remark of God as the old one! We are in the position of a little child entering a huge library, whose walls are covered to the ceiling with books in many different languages. The child knows that someone must have written those books. It does not know who or how. It does not understand the languages in which they are written. The child notes a definite plan in the arrangement of the books, a mysterious order, which it does not comprehend but only simply suspects.
