CULTURAL QA 08-2023-7 Q1 Why can wenot see electricity ?
A1 Sarthak Belekar, Studied ElectricalEngineering at Yeshwantrao Chavan College of Engineering5y There are a couplereasons you cannot directly see electricity. The first reason is because electricity is a phenomenon,not a physical object. We observe certain phenomena in naturethrough their interaction with physical objects (which we can see). Take the phenomenon of gravity, forexample. You cannot technically 'see' gravity, though, you can observe objectsthat fall to the ground or cannonballs/projectiles that follow a trajectorysuggestive of force 'pulling' them to the earth. The same is true ofelectricity. Wecan observe electricity's influence in nature in the same way as gravity,though, there's one really important difference and the main reason you can'tsee it: The fundamentalcomponents on which electricity is observed are really small, move really fastand there's a lot of them. Thereason you can't see electricity is the same reason you can't see an individualelectron (too small) or a bullet fired from a gun (too fast) or accuratelyguess how many jelly beans are in large jar (too many). My note- Not only gravity, electricity , temperature isalso a phenomina Q2 Do any airlines train new pilots insimulators before sending them out into real airplanes?

What's the reason behind this? A4 Rajdeep Chakraborty, History Buff Jul12 At the time of independencetwo songs were front runners to be the national anthem of India, and both ofthem happen to be more popular than our national anthem or atleast I believe itto be so. Those twosongs are Vande Maataram written by Bankim Chandra Chatterjee and Sare Jaha seAccha by Md. Iqbal. But both the songshad controversies surrounded with them unlike Jana Gana Mana. VandeMaataram was possibly not chosen because it belongedto a controversial novel—Anand Math, most Indians who haven’t read it fully,might think that Anand Math is all about a revolution/agitation against theBritish. And it is mostly true the main theme of the book is- Sannyasi soldiersfighting and beating the experienced East India Company forces and for the samereason it was banned by the Britishers. But if you read itcarefully you’ll find that Muslim[The kings in particular] have been criticizedby the author. Seems made up? So, let us look atAnandamath, 5th edition, 1982. I am quoting verbatim from tenth chapter, pageseventeen [ আনন্দমঠ, প্রথম খণ্ড, দশম পরিচ্ছেদ, ১৭] in Bengali, followed by a literaltranslation (Muslims are mentioned as "Musolaman" and"dere" (bearded men) ). সকল দেশের রাজার সঙ্গে রক্ষণাবেক্ষণেরসম্বন্ধ;আমাদের মুসলমান রাজা রক্ষা করে কই?ধর্ম গেল, জাতি গেল, মান গেল, কুল গেল, এখন ত প্রাণ পর্যন্তও যায়। এ নেশাখোর দেড়েদের না তাড়াইলে আরকি হিন্দুর হিন্দুয়ানী থাকে? Literal Translation: The kings should protect theirkingdom, what does our Muslim rulers do? We are getting stripped off ourreligion, honor, family and now we are going to loose our lives as well. If wedon't get rid of these drunk bearded men, how the Hindu's can be Hindusanymore?[ You can verify the translation by asking other Bengalis here likeAhareen Saha|অঋণ সাহা ] While I don’tbelieve that Ananda Math was an Anti Muslim novel, but again at the time ofindependence the country was in turmoil and our founding fathers found itbetter to play it safe. While Sare Jaha se Accha was indeed a good song but theauthor of the same song Md Iqbal- later became a Pakistani Nationalist, he is highly revered figure in Pakistan and is considered as one of themasterminds of partition[ Mohammad Iqbal: The Founding Father of Pakistan ] [ Explained:Allama Iqbal and his role in the creation of Pakistan] and that is why choosinga song written by a man who played a great role in the partition of the countryas a national anthem was never a wise decision. Compared tothe other two-Jana Gana Mana was less controversial—it was written byRabindranath Tagore, one of the most respected figure in modern India and thefirst Indian to receive a Nobel prize. While there aresome people who still believe that he wrote that anthem for King George [ Ihave already written an answer earlier debunking the popular myth ] but it wasnever a big issue back then and that’s why our founding fathers found Jana GanaMana to be a better option than the former two. Other than itJana Gana Mana was was language neutral - using just a string of names of India'smajor regions and had no religious connotations. Q5 What doesthe no spin setting do on a A5 Foxy.
