CULTURAL QA 05-2023-18 BY Mr G AND ERROR MODIFICATION BY KR 18 5 23 Q1 How can clapping be dangerous in Lord Shiva's temple?
KR Mr G Please avoid such questions hereafter; in siva temple we do flipping of our fingers; so clapping will not affect any one including Siva, except, it may irritate nearby. Q2 What are some unwritten social rules in the 21st century everyone should know? A2 Isha, BSc. Maths hons from University of Delhi (Graduated 2023)19h Remember, these unwritten social rules are general guidelines, and there may be variations depending on cultural, regional, or individual differences. Being mindful, considerate, and respectful in your interactions with others is key to building positive relationships and contributing to a harmonious social environment. KR A young girl felt so that is OK. But she also said it would be different. Then shall we not eliminate such questions with azhvarkadiyan type answers? Q4 What are some mind-blowing facts about world? G The driest place in the world is Antarctica. KR I had written already on Antarctica; and still you write without checking; is it dry? G 90% of the world’s fresh water is in Antarctica. KR And yet dry? G The hottest recorded temperature on Earth was 134 degrees Fahrenheit. KR Hasty. Check pl all data. The *highest temperature recorded on Earth* has been measured in three major ways: air, ground, and via satellite observation. Air measurements are used as the standard measurement due to persistent issues with unreliable ground and satellite readings. Air measurements are noted by the World Meteorological Organization <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_Meteorological_Organization> (WMO) and Guinness World Records <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guinness_World_Records> among others as the standard to be used for determining the official record. The current official highest registered air temperature on Earth is 56.7 °C (134.1 °F), recorded on 10 July 1913 at Furnace Creek <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Furnace_Creek,_California> Ranch, in Death Valley <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Death_Valley> in the United States <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States>.[1] <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Highest_temperature_recorded_on_Earth#cite_note-WMO-Highest-1> For ninety years, a former record that was measured in Libya <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Libya> had been in place, until it was decertified in 2012 based on evidence that it was an erroneous reading. This finding has since raised questions about the legitimacy of the 1913 record measured in Death Valley, with several meteorological experts asserting that there were similar irregularities. The WMO has stood by the record as official pending any future investigative results. If the current record were to be decertified then the holder would be a tie at 54.0 °C (129.2 °F), recorded both at Furnace Creek, and in Kuwait <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kuwait>. Several unverified temperatures of all three readings have also been recorded that exceed the current record holder. These include historical claims that were never authenticated due to the equipment available at the time and unverified scientific claims. There are also disproven amateur readings that have been posted on social media showing evidence of extreme temperature. In the early 21st century, prior recordings for the highest temperature on Earth were investigated as probable misreading. From 1922 until 2012, the WMO record for the highest official temperature on Earth was 57.8 °C (136.0 °F), registered on 13 September 1922, in ʽAziziya <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%CA%BDAziziya>, Libya <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Libya>. This record was decertified by the WMO in January 2012 as persuasive evidence led to a faulty reading recorded in error by an inexperienced observer The decertification of this former record led researchers to also investigate the former and current recordings made in Death Valley in 1913 One of the earliest objections came in 1949 by Dr. Arnold Court, who concluded that the temperature may have been the result of a sandstorm that occurred at the time. Court stated that "such a storm may have caused superheated surface materials to hit upon the temperature in the shelter."[ <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Highest_temperature_recorded_on_Earth#cite_note-WMO-Highest-1> Modern weather historians such as Christopher C. Burt and William Taylor Reid have also claimed that the 1913 Death Valley reading is "a myth", and is at least 2.2 to 2.8 °C (4 to 5 °F) too high. The WMO has come out in support of the current record stating that "We accept that Death Valley temperature extreme record. If any new materials on it surface, we will be prepared to open an investigation, but at this time all available evidence points to its legitimacy." G Tasmania has the cleanest air in the world.
