How is this possible scientifically? A4 VishnuKumar IAM That IAM21h The Supreme Krishna did NOTstop time for the Bhagavad Gita. So what really happened: The armies of the Kauravas and the Pandavas had started assembling muchbefore the decided time of war between the parties involved. Krishna and Arjuna had come earlier and were ready. Then Arjuna requestsKrishna to place the chariot between the assembling armies so that he can get aclear view about who are all oncoming from the side of the Kauravas. Then Arjuna sees that his friends, his cousins, his preceptors and PitamahaBhishma are all coming in one by one. He is shaken and drops the Gandiva andexpresses his inability to fight. And then starts the Bhagavad Gita. In all the roar and uproar ofthe assembling armies, Krishna quickly completes his Bhagavad Gita much beforethe war start time. Even after the completion of Bhagavad Gita, we see that several warriorsare still coming in and assembling on both sides. Thereafter Yudhisthira gets down from his chariot, meets each one of theseniors on the side of the Kauravas, takes their blessings and comes back. Then as both sides give their assent, the all destroying Mahabharata warerupts.that is the answer. Q5 How does an air conditioner maintain the set temperature andhow is this set temperature achieved in a large room (office)? A5 Rinoy IssacAnswered Nov2, 2016 An Air Conditioner maintain thetemperature using a temp sensor associated with a controller. The sensor reads the return air temp from the roomwhich is air conditioned and the controller compare it with set point. Once theset point is achieved the controller cut down the compressor which in turn stopthe room being cooled more. When the temp inside the conditioned room isincreased the temp sensor sense it and the controller cut in the compressor(ie.,Compressor start working). This go on to maintain the room temperature at theset point. Q6 Why is human child birth such a dangerousprocess? Why hasn’t evolution devolved a more survivable way to reproducewithout high rates of infant and maternal mortality? A6 C.S.Friedman Science Fiction and Fantasynovelist Nov 25 High intelligence requires a large brain, requires a large head, whichmakes birth risky. We have made many adaptations as a species, includingbirthing children at a much earlier stage than most animals, do, when they willbe helpless for an Extendedperiod of time. Nature, which is both merciless and efficient, has weighed the advantagesand disadvantages of high intelligenc, early birth, female pelvic shape,maternal and infant mortality, etc, and come up with the combination of elements that is most conducive tocontinuance of the species. Q7 What is the appropriate way for an Indian bride to call herfuture mother and father-in-law? A7 Bhuvana Rameshwar South Indian culture5h Now that everybody is educatedit is better to call them as uncle and aunty in our Indian society. Calling by names as in western culture may make ourmil-dil arguments, misunderstandings and fights if any more uncultured andunsolvable. Some call them as daddy and mummyas they call their real parents as papa and amma. They add a “ji” to it as a sign of respect, whether therespect is there or not. In Southern India we address themas “mama, mami, or mama and athai” It is better to address them as Uncle and Aunty if you want it to beformal and informal at the same time. My dil calls us so. I addressed my inlaws as mama andathai. But I always felt only my dad's sister is my real athai, nobodyelse ! Initially I found it difficult, but soon got used to it. My note- Among Brahmins the practiceis mostly to call Appa and Amma bydaughter in law since she has become daughter by gothrachange. However the son callshis in laws as mama and mami since he isnot blood related to in laws. Learnt members can write on this view. Q8 Is there any electric scrubber or brush for washing clothes? A8 Venkateswara Swamy Swarna ,former Scientist, Metallurgist, Quality / NDT Manager at Department of AtomicEnergy, India (1967-2008) Answered 8m ago Look for portable mechanical washing machines that have no other functionexcept to agitate the clothes in the detergent solution. That would be theclosest to a scrubber… You need to rinse the clothes and wring them by hand or in a separatemachine… Modern detergents are very powerful and the clothes don’t need scrubbingor brushing except very rarely. Applying some detergent (preferably liquid) andleaving the garment aside for a while before washing and rinsing will removetough stains too… Q9 Why is life not fair? Some people live in good countries andsome live in bad countries. Some get good parents, some get bad parents, andsome don’t get any. A9 Bhuvana Rameshwarmarried for three decades Nov 22 Yes, life doesn't seem fair. But then think over it sometime. Our religions convenientlyblame it or explain it using our previous birth Karma or fate or luck. Some say it is mere coincidence. Even twins having beenborn in the same house get to live separate and different types of lives if oneor both are adopted due to unforeseen reasons. Here how did it happen that one is in a better family,environment and country? No explanation with proof is given. Here evenbirth- parents or the family which adopted them do not guarantee them a safeand happy life. So, again no explanation or guarantee given. Leaving Religions, Karma and fate apart ! … we are similar to hens and chicken. Or any other living creature like thesmallest of ants to biggest of whales. Some hens are born in forests, beautifully feathered, light weight andsmart. They live with lots of freedom, yet all the time aware of the dangers ofthe forest predators like a cat or snake or leopard. Some are born in homes, private farms and are kept as pets for many happyyears until they die of natural reasons. These are of different colours, smartand know who their owner is. They have a coop, get food too. Some are born in large poultry farms or from incubation centres…these aremostly white or brown, docile and know nothing beyond the huge coop life. Theyare fed well on special food, rationed, medicated only to grow fast and to besent to the market for feeding humans. Or the lucky ones become egg laying machines, alive but forced to feed oncustom made meal. Here they live in well lit cages with hundreds fighting forspace, food, and water. Add to that unnecessary hormones and antibiotics. Did the egg or chick decide where it is born? Is it fate, karma orsomething else? Did the chick think a lot about the reasons for its birth orlife ? It was only eating, drinking water, sleeping and happily mingling withother chicks. It was happy until it died without knowing its date of death. Maybe they felt more space when a batch was removed from the farm similar to whatwe see and feel during death of others in our family or vicinity. Sadness, Iwonder if any in the small chick brains. Aren't we similar to them? Think over it. Only happiness matters. Nothingelse matters like place of birth, parents, education, job, religion, caste,country, wealth, or even health. Do good, be good, adjust, becontented, be happy. That's all Q10 What causes a burn in a fan regulator? A10 VasilisCaravitis Answered 1h ago There can be a number of reasons. Most frequent component failure. A badtransistor, IC or other solid state part can cause failure. Poor cooling can beanother cause. A good quality product should not fail easily. Cheap productsare more vulnerable, on account of lower quality parts, labor and poor qualitycontrol. My note- The oldest fanregulators were stable. Later oneswere getting damaged and replaced . Latest smaller units fitted along withswitches now are more than 70% stable. All the above QA are from Quora website on 04-12- 2021.
