Pranam Q2 If Mahabharata is real, then why can't we find any bones of the 4 million soldiers in Kurukshetra?
KR On an average as far as the earth is concerned, 1 year history of the
place may be known by digging 10cm depth; to know Mahabharatham of 5000
years old 50000 cms must be dug which is around 1600 feet to 2000 feet.
Hence archaeological people tries mountain, rivers and river beds, sea etc
where the depth is easily cut across. All communities participated in the
Mahabharatha war were not burnt but were also buried and scattered out due
to the chariots running across. Hence the answer is a guess work provided.
In stratigraphy
<https://www.thoughtco.com/stratigraphy-geological-archaeological-layers-172831>,
archaeologists assume that sites undergo stratification over time, leaving
older layers beneath newer ones. Like a layer cake or slice of lasagne, a
site’s lower layers are assumed to be older than those that lie above them.
Archaeologists use that assumption, called the law of superposition, to
help determine a relative chronology for the site itself. Then, they use
contextual clues and absolute dating techniques to help point to the age of
the artifacts found in each layer. Seriation
<https://books.google.com/books?id=zRcFQ_gBNI8C&lpg=PA236&dq=>, in which
groups of artifacts from the same site are statistically analyzed and put
into chronological order, can also point to a site’s age. Objects can be
grouped based on style or frequency to help determine a chronological
sequence. Relative dating has its limits. Its techniques are often
subjective, and an artifact’s location within a site or relative to other
objects may not reflect its actual chronological age, as things may have
gotten shifted around at some point in time. For a more precise date,
archaeologists turn to a growing arsenal of absolute.
Thermoluminescence dating
<https://www.brown.edu/Departments/Joukowsky_Institute/courses/greekpast/4929.html>
measures
how many years have elapsed since the heating of a material containing a
crystalline mineral. The technique can provide dates for sediments,
ceramics, and other materials. Dendochronology
<https://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2013/13/130422-new-zealand-tree-rings-dendrochronology-science>,
the study of tree rings, can date wooden structures or objects. Absolute
dating has its drawbacks: Techniques can be expensive and provide less
clarity than their name might suggest. Radiocarbon dating, for example, can
only be performed
<https://theconversation.com/explainer-what-is-radiocarbon-dating-and-how-does-it-work-9690>
on
objects younger than 62,000 years old, only results in date ranges, and can
be thrown off when objects come into contact with younger organic material.
Nonetheless, newer dating techniques have expanded archaeologists’ ability
to home in on sites’ ages and histories. Relative and absolute dating
techniques are often combined, as when a historical chronicle or pottery
style is used to provide a more precise date for an object that has been placed
within a 500-year range by a chemical technique.
Known as the Kola Superdeep Borehole, the deepest hole ever dug reaches
approximately 7.5 miles below the Earth’s surface (or 12,262 meters), a
depth that took about 20 years to reach.*
The hole was intended to go “as deep as possible
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kola_Superdeep_Borehole#Status>,” which
researches expected to be around 9 miles (that’s ~14,500 meters). But the
scientists and engineers were forced to give up when they hit unexpectedly
high temperatures. At 7.5 miles below the surface, the 2.7 billion year old
rocks there at temperatures of around 180 degrees Celsius (or a scorching
356 degrees Fahrenheit). This was almost twice as hot as they’d predicted.
Over time, things and places get covered up and buried. When something
lays on the ground day after day, year after year, leaves fall on it, dust
blows, and little by little it slowly gets covered up. Before an
archaeologist conducts a dig
<https://sciencetrek.org/sciencetrek/topics/archaeology/glossary.cfm#dig>,
they do lots of research to determine where they might start.
First, archaeologists know that people need certain things to help them
stay alive. These include easy access to water, trade and migration routes,
and food sources. With this knowledge and some research, archaeologists can
locate the most likely places where people may have lived.
Sometimes farmers and builders uncover artifacts while working around their
properties, and an archaeologist will come in to see if the artifacts are
signs of a larger human settlement buried on the site. Archaeologists also
look at buildings, ruins
<https://sciencetrek.org/sciencetrek/topics/archaeology/glossary.cfm#ruins>,
unusual mounds
<https://sciencetrek.org/sciencetrek/topics/archaeology/glossary.cfm#mounds> or
sunken spots in the land. Sometimes, archaeologists can tell where old
roads or walls once stood by looking at aerial photographs
<https://sciencetrek.org/sciencetrek/topics/archaeology/glossary.cfm#aerial%20photographs>.
Other times, they can get clues from old books, documents
<https://sciencetrek.org/sciencetrek/topics/archaeology/glossary.cfm#documents>
and
maps. All of these provide potential starting places for archaeologists to
research and determine if they'll conduct a dig. { National Geography}.
Q5 Is vitamin D the only vitamin that a person can get without
eating any food, or is vitamin D actually not a vitamin, but a hormone or a
steroid hormone?
KR The Q & A is dubious and untruth. The right perceptions are narrated
under:
1 Enzymes are protein molecules that act as catalysts. For example, an
equilibrium between carbon dioxide, water, and carbonic acid functions as
the red blood cells pick up carbon dioxide from muscles, transport it to
the lungs, and then release it during respiration. Once carbon dioxide is
released, red blood cells immediately pick up oxygen. An enzyme named
carbonic anhydrase catalyses both reactions. Without this enzyme, one
molecule of haemoglobin would react approximately every 100 seconds. With
the enzyme, however, 100 000 molecules can react every second. In this
reaction, the rate is multiplied by a factor of 107. Without that increase,
there would be no way for the lungs to exchange enough gases to support the
respiratory process needed to maintain life.
2 Vitamins are organic substances that are essential for normal
nutrition, but they are not carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, or fats. The
British sailors lacked ascorbic acid, or vitamin C, in their on[1]board
diets. A daily ration of lemon or lime juice provided the neces[1]sary
nutrient to help control the symptoms of scurvy and earned the sailors the
nickname “limeys.” The Japanese navy fought the disease of beriberi in the
late 1800s by introducing portions of wheat and barley and unpolished rice
into their diets. The hulls of these grains contain vitamin B1 , which
relieved the sailors’ suffering. The doctor who first isolated the organic
substance that cured beriberi found that it contained an amine (NH2 )
group; he called it a “vital amine,” or vitamin. Vitamins are vital to the
proper functioning of enzymes. Vitamin C is connected with the formation of
the intercellular “glue” in bones, connective tissue, and cartilage. The B
vitamins help enzymes break down carbohydrates. Without them, pyruvic acid,
a product of incomplete carbohydrate breakdown, accumulates in the muscles
and causes the pain of beriberi. Today, approximately twenty-one vitamins
are known, but researchers suspect that several others exist. The known
vitamins can be classified as either water soluble or fat soluble.
Hormones are chemical messengers that are produced by the endocrine glands
and are transported by the bloodstream to various areas of the body.
Hormones are a chemically diverse lot. They can be steroids, polypeptide
chains, or proteins. These compounds, when released into the bloodstream or
other body fluids, travel throughout the body. Even though they come into
contact with many cells, they act only on their target cells. Research
findings suggest that the “target” cells contain receptor molecules that
recognize specific hormones by their shapes. Hormones are also found in
insects and plants. Biochemical re[1]searchers use insect sex attractant
hormones called pheromones to trap and disorient insect pests. The
pheromone for the gypsy moth, for example, is effective at a level of 1 ×
10-13 gram. Some herbicides are modelled after plant hormones in order to
be very selective in the plants that they kill. Continued biochemical
research will enable us to replace broad-spectrum pesticides and herbicides
with com[1]pounds that will act against specific targets.
Fat soluble vitamins are A, D, E and K; Water SOLUBLE VITAMINS ARE,
B1,B2, B6 & b12 & C.
Vitamin D, which has the chemical structure of a steroid molecule, is
derived from cholesterol and is similar to the adrenal and sex hormones.1 It
circulates in the blood and binds to receptors in order to evoke biologic
action. There are vitamin D receptors and activating enzymes throughout our
bodies that perform actions. Every cell in our body has a nucleus with the
ability to interact with vitamin D.Vitamin D is often prescribed by
endocrinologists and other medical doctors as Rocaltrol (calcitriol), which
is a very active form of this nutrient. There are various forms of vitamin
D. It starts out as a cholesterol molecule, which we can call vitamin D1.
Near the skin’s surface, it gets zapped by sunshine and becomes vitamin D2
(ergocalciferol). Then it gets transformed by activating enzymes, usually
in the liver, to vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol) and by the kidneys to its
most active form, vitamin D4 (Calcitriol).Physicians who specialize in
hormones are very familiar with all the forms of vitamin D because there is
a 3-way relationship with calcium, the parathyroid gland, and vitamin D.
When vitamin D levels are extremely low in the body, the parathyroid gland
is affected and usually tries to compensate by releasing more of the
parathyroid hormone. This hormone normally deposits calcium into bone.
Vitamin D causes calcium to be absorbed from the gut into the bloodstream.
When vitamin D is not present, calcium is also not abundant and the
parathyroid gland cannot do its job Physicians also prescribe vitamin D4
when patients are not healthy enough to properly make and activate vitamin
D. The D2 to D3 conversion takes place in a healthy liver, and the D3 to D4
conversion (1,25-dihydroxy-cholecalciferol) takes place in the kidneys.
People in kidney failure cannot properly activate their vitamin D, so they
end up with a sequela of symptoms, including brittle bone diseases. It
would be a mistake to assume that vitamin D is the cure for diseases and
poor health, which are often the result of years of genetic mutations
and/or lifestyle choices. Restoring low vitamin D levels to normal in an
otherwise healthy individual can have great health benefits. But for a
person who has experienced a lifetime of unhealthy choices, restoring
vitamin D levels to normal may not be enough to cause a noticeable change.
Q6 What is your 5-minute daily habit that everyone should do?
KR (Reply provided-“If you track back to how humans were created, you
will see that our minds were not created to be this fast paced.”)----Mind
is abstract and Brain is the physical feature. So the mind is not a
creation. Summayiruthale sugam; so sitting idle closing the eyes is better;
mind cannot become cool; but body relaxes.
Q7 Why aren't widows allowed to remarry in Hinduism?
KR The scriptures claimed that if a widow preserved her widowed state,
she would go back to the husband (in heaven). Such things are not mentioned
in the scriptures. Widow remarriage is written already during the last week
itself. There is no taboo but the choice of the woman is different; she has
the vairagyam to lead the life single. The Characteristics of a Chaste
