Dear folks
Latest examples of incorrigible idiocy:-
(1) May be space theory by Einstein on clock which is well settled; higher
one goes age decreases, so time wont go faster; time is a mental makeup; and
time flies according to your mind and not floors.
My comments:-
Time never was "a mental makeup" except to fools like KR ex-IRS 8 12 23. On th
Earth, we determine time relative to the rising, setting of the Sun and the
rotation of the Earth.
(2) "Shadows may be not in vacuum but it is not wind as a factor even. It is a
long theory which I will write separately later."
My comments:-
There is no "long theory" about shadows except in the tortured diseased mind of
KR ex-IRS. Vacuum or no vacuum, shadows are ast when the rays of light are
interrupted by an opaque object in their way.
(3) "So many lakes in the world are there and Baikal is also one."
A totally irrelevant and idiotic statement, when the topic is about "endemic
species in Lake Baikal".
Is brain-dead KR ex-IRS saying that there are "endemic species" in Lake
Manasarovar, in the Great Lakes of North America, and in the Dead Sea?
(4) "Looking at Sun is different enunciated in Vedas."
My comments:-
Typical gutter-sewer broken English by a garbage-collector.
The yajur-vedam has several slokams regarding the Sun such as:-
thath savithur varenyam bhargo devasya deemahi dhiyoyonah prachodayaath;
sooryascha mamanyuscha manyupathayascha manyu kruthebhyaha;
aaditho vaa esha ethnmandalam thapathi thathra thaa ruchruchasthadyachaa
mandalagum;
aadithyo vai theja ojo balam yashaschakshu shrothra mathma mano manyur manur
mruthyussathyo mithro vaayu aakashaha prano lokapaala.
The pronunciation, enunciation and uchcharippu of the words "savithur",
"soorya",
"aadithya" and so on are the same, if learned under the guidance of respected,
respectable, learned, competent, committed gurus, whether in a paata-shaala or
at home.
(5) "Uncanny self-proclamation statements without evidence is illogical."
My comments:-
A habitual incurable mortal sin of KR ex-IRS.
(6) "Hurting is defined as causing mental injury and not self-proclaimed
sufferings which any women would make initially."
My comments:-
Absolute typical nonsense.
Hurting is causing injury, whether physical, mental, physiological, financial,
emotional, reputational, or otherwise.
It is not confined to women. Men can, and do, also cause hurt.
(7) "Hunger does not decrease because of cooking; if you postpone a while
eating hunger will subside."
My comments:-
Another unfounded, unconsidered opinion by a complete fool.
A person cooking food inhales all the vapours of the food being cooked, thereby
assuaging his or her hunger for a while. Hunger will not subside if you
postpone eating.
(8) "Love will make one skid in stature where one will hurt the other; but
love alone crosses over the sufferings; so, Love is a cause of suffering only."
My comments:-
Absolute rubbish, as usual. When a parent cuddles a baby, love flows both
ways. There is no hurt, no suffering. There is joy, and rejoicing. Same when
we hug friends and long-lost relatives.

CULTURAL QA 12-2023-08
All the BELOW QA are from Quora DIGEST tome on 08-12-2023.
QUORA ANSWERS NEED NOT BE 100% CORRECT ANSWERS.
Compiled and posted by R. Gopala Krishnan,80, on 08-12-2023.
Q1 What are some interestingfacts about physics?
#2The higher you are (building-wise), the faster time willgo.
Time is a hard concept to understand when you look at itthrough the lens of
physics. A couple of seconds while standing on theground will go slower than
for someone who sits on a high building, like theEmpire State building. It is
best explained by Einstein and his famous theoryof relativity.
KR: Where it is said? May be space theory by Einstein on clockwhich is
well settled; higher one goes age decreases, so time wont go faster;time is a
mental makeup; and time flies according to your mind and not floors.
#5Wind casts an invisible shadow.
Shadows are not always cast by objects, and winds can doit too. The only
problem? We can’t see them with the naked eye. Wind, amovement of a gas that
varies from a small gust to full-on thunderstorms, cancast a small shadow only
visible with the help of machines and physics.
KR False; shadows may be not in vacuum butit is not wind as a factor
even. It is a long theory which I will writeseparately later.
Q2 What are some things everyIndian should know about Indian history?
KR Parsi history I had written long backand what is written here is
universal and not only for Parsis
Q3 How did Lake Baikal end upwith so many endemic species?
KR Lake Malawi/Nyassa/Niassa is home tothe highest number of fish
species (800-1000) of any lake in the world, with 90percent of those species
being cichlids that are only found in this lake.
Thenorthern snakehead is a species of snakehead fish native to
temperate EastAsia, in China, Russia, North Korea, and South Korea. Their
natural range goesfrom the Amur River watershed in Siberia and Manchuria down
to Hainan
Somany lakes in the world are there and Baikal is also one.
Q4 Why is it that the Sundoes not affect the human body?
KR Where did Saladin got that idea, to whileaway so many peoples’ valuable
time? Looking at Sun is different enunciated inVedas.
Q5 What are somepsychological facts that people don't know?
G If a personspeaks less, but speak fast, they keep secrets.
KR A conservative may be anything, including,knowledgeable, or ignorant, or
afraid to talk etc, but cannot say keeping upsecrets; (Sigmund Fraud); Sanjeev
in TV serial Tamil speaks so fast; Vijayactor speaks faster; a stammering clerk
may speak faster; and what is thecorelation to keeping secrets? So Uncanny
self-proclamation statements withoutevidence is illogical.
G When someonesays I hate you, it really means “you hurt me”.
KR A child in USA says to mom “I Hate you”which is common to see; does the
cause of kid as hurting is genuine? Hurting is defined as causing mental
injuryand not self-proclaimed sufferings which any women would make initially.
G If we cook whenwe are hungry, our hunger will automatically decrease.
KR Hunger does not decrease because ofcooking; if you postpone a while
eating hunger will subside.
G 70% of peoplewill not show interest in success if we tell them about it.
KR 99.99% are pretenders and hypocrites; onlylevel of Adi Shankara will
genuinely ignore success and failure who is calledSTHITHA PRAGNAN IN B G
G We can forgetabout daily activities when we fall in love.
KR Love will make one skid in staturewhere one will hurt the other; but
love alone crosses over the sufferings; so,Love is a cause of suffering only;
ENINUM KADAL SEIVEER BHARATHI.
G Having eyecontact for more than 6 seconds without looking away or
blinking reveals adesire for either sex or murder.
KR Absolute negative factor; one who speakswith eye contact only is the
honest person.
G Most of thepeople hate their own voice on video or on a phone call.
KR Hastytheory
G Being able toinstantly respond with sarcasm to a silly question is a
sign of a healthybrain.
KR Wit is brain; sarcasm is CHO // Bernardshah // Ottakoothan //, only
making a kind of remark, making fun of theopposite.
G You can foolyour mind into thinking that you are happy and smiling if you
put a pencil inbetween your teeth.
KR So many gestures are there includingclosing the eyes. Pencil is biting
the carbon.
G People wholove black colour have the most colourful minds.

CULTURAL QA 12-2023-08
Allthe BELOW QA are from Quora DIGEST to me on 08-12-2023.
QUORA ANSWERS NEED NOT BE 100%CORRECT ANSWERS.
Compiled and posted by R. Gopala Krishnan, 80, on 08-12-2023.
Q1 What are some interesting facts aboutphysics?
A1 Deepaktopzone, Mon
#1The LEGEND of anapple falling on Newton is wrong.
We’ve all heard thestory of an apple falling on Isaac Newton's head, but few
know it was a myth.In reality, Newton drewinspiration from apples, not because
one hit his head, but because they fellstraight down and not sideways. This
observation helped him develop thetheory of universal gravity.
#2The higher you are (building-wise), the faster time willgo.
Time is a hard concept to understand when you look at itthrough the lens of
physics. A couple of seconds while standing on the ground will go slowerthan
for someone who sits on a high building, like the Empire Statebuilding. It is
best explained by Einstein and his famous theory of relativity.
#3The screens of smartphones work thanks to the electriccharges leaving our
fingers.
Touch phones work thanks to the physics behind the humanbody itself. When we
touch the screens with our fingers, we let out a small number ofelectric
charges that register with the mechanics and allow us to interact.For this
reason, things like rubber, fingernails, and others don’t register
My note- Touchscreens in ATMs work on this principles. When we touch the cones
behind areactivated.
#4It’s nearly impossible to sink in the Dead Sea.
The Dead Sea ispopular for the number of tourists that visit it, but also for
having a large amount of salt in it.
Salt is not only good for food, but also a good way of making the watermuch
denser. There is so much of it in that sea thatpeople who swim there have
little to no chance of drowning. Of course, it is stillimportant to keep things
safe.
#5Wind casts an invisible shadow.
Shadows are not always cast by objects, and winds can doit too. The only
problem? We can’t see themwith the naked eye. Wind, a movement of a gas that
varies from a smallgust to full-on thunderstorms, can cast a small shadow only
visible with thehelp of machines and physics.
#6Light gets much slower in water.
Water is not only arefresher at the end of the day, but also a great stopper
for thewavelengths of light. Light travels through air at a very high speed,and
that is thanks to its small density. Water, however, is thicker. Since every
molecule hassurface tension, light gets distorted due to the amount of energy
needed topass through.
My note- Alsoenergy loss occurs. Physics studied in the 1st year about
Refractionof light.
#7Galileo Galilei proved his theory of free fall with thehelp of the leaning
tower of Pisa.
While Galileo Galileimight have created the theory of free fall, he had to
prove it byexperimenting. He did it by throwing two cannonballs of the
samematerial, but different masses, from the leaning tower of Pisa. His
theorywould be further supported by missions to the moon.
#8The universe is growing every second.
The universe isalready a vast space full of planets, stars, and other celestial
bodies. But itis still not big enough. Theuniverse is growing at a high rate
every second, expanding in every direction,getting colder and faster at the
same time. This expansion has been going onfor billions of years.
#9Water can boil and freeze at the same time.
At the sametemperature, water can either boil or freeze. A triplepoint is a
point where the temperature, pressure, and pressurevalue allcoincide. Thefact
that all three states—liquid, ice, and water vapor—are present at thistime
allows water to boil and freeze at the same temperature.
MURAD ŞAHİNOĞLU· Thu
Addition to #1: I knew it! I also know Einstein invited “Time” to his wedding
and “Time” came. Because “Time” is relative…😁
Addition to #3: Youcan use to tap on your touchscreen phone.
Addition to #5:Fire also casts a shadow but some people keeps insisting on that
it doesn’t…
Q2 What are some things every Indian shouldknow about Indian history?
A2 Siddharth Godbole, I love learning abouthistory, and know a bit myself!
13h
Every Indian should know of the beautiful community ofParsis, whohave lived up
to their millennia-old promise to do no harm and bring all good.
The Parsis, known around the world as the Zoroastrians, are an ethnoreligious
group from present-day Iran. They follow the religion of theancient Persians of
the age of Alexander, a beautiful and tolerantculture.
In the 7–8th centuryAD, the Muslim Rashidun Caliphate conquered all of Iran.
They set out toIslamify the country with one motto in mind: Convert, or die.
This was a terrible time for theParsi community, and many were forced to
convert to save their lives.
However, a large diaspora of Parsistook the courageous journey to leave their
homeland and travel east. In thismigration, they ended up in the Kingdom of
Gujrat, headed by King Jadi Rana.
Jadi Rana was aHindu king who had a reputation across the subcontinent as a
wise and fair man.When the Parsis arrived in hislands, they requested asylum,
agreeing to learn the local language and adoptthe local clothing. However, Jadi
Rana said that he could not in goodconscience accept such a large diaspora of
people, as there was a risk ofoverpopulation in his kingdom.
What happened next is one of my favorite partsof history in the world:
Jadi Rana motioned to avessel of milk filled to the very brim to signify that
his kingdom was alreadyfull and could not accept refugees. In response, one of
the Zoroastrian priests added a pinch of sugar to themilk, thus indicating that
they would not bring the vessel to overflowing andindeed make the lives of the
citizens sweeter.
Jadi Rana gave shelter to the emigrants and permitted themto practice their
religion and traditions freely.
To this day, theParsis have followed through on their promise. They have caused
no religious or military disturbance,and have peacefully assimilated into all
facets of Indian society. Theymake up some of India’s greatest artists and
exports (Freddie Mercury was aParsi!) and are also a crucialpart of India’s
economy (Tata was founded by Parsis). I will leave youwith one last story.
During the partition of India, while the British wereleaving, they tried to
give the Parsis special treatment and warn them about the large Hindu majority
(the Parsis and British gotalong well). In response to this, it is said that
the Parsi leaders told the British that for thousands ofyears, they have been
like family with the Hindus. Why would that changenow?So forever remember the
Parsis, and what they have done for Indian society!
My note- I had a Parsitraining mate from Delhi for a new technology training in
Chennai in 1992’s. He was my roommate.I recollect the incidentof sugar adding
to milk filled to edge of glass toldto me by him.
Q3 How did Lake Baikal end up with so manyendemic species?
A3 Gary Meaney, passionate fan of all thingsanimal3y
So, for those who don’t know, Baikal is an enormous lakein Siberia, equivalent
in area to Belgium. In fact, by volume it’s the largest body offreshwater in
the world, containing some 26,000 cubic kilometres of H2O.And it happens to be
a hive ofbiodiversity, housing thousands upon thousands of species - most of
which arefound nowhere else.
Its most well-known endemic is the Baikal seal, or nerpa - a majestically
globular creature which is the world’s only species offreshwater seal and the
smallest pinniped alive today. I wrote on its mysteriousorigins before, here:
Gary Meaney's answer to How did a population oflandlocked seals manage to
establish itself in Lake Baikal, of all places?,
The lake also has three whole families of endemic fish. Ofthese, the most
common and interesting one is the golomyankas. Also known as Baikal oilfish,
they have no scales, noskin pigment, no pelvic fins, no swim bladders, and no
cone cells in theireyes. About 70% of the fish in Baikal are either of the two
species ofgolomyanka.
Almost 40% of a golomyanka’s bodyweight is just fatty oil, which is used in
place of a swim bladder to regulate buoyancy. In myopinion, they’re easily the
strangest freshwater fish in the world.
I should also mention one of the lake’s most aliencreatures - the
acanthogammarids. These are anendemic family of large, spiny amphipod
crustaceans, and they look downrightbizarre.
There are many moreendemics in Baikal which I could go on about, but I must
address the mainquestion - why does this lake have thousands of endemic
species?Part of the answer is isolation. Lakes are to aquatic creatures what
islands are toland-dwelling ones - surrounded by an impassable “sea”.
So, when populationsof organisms end up in the lake, very little genetic
admixture occurs withtheir counterparts outside the lake. Before long, a new
species emerges and itcannot leave Baikal, because of isolation.
It also helpsthat Lake Baikal is the oldest lake in the world. It formed about
25–30 millionyears ago, when the Eurasian plate drifted apart from the Amur
plate, creatinga rift in between which was filled with water. Thus, the lake
has been isolatedfor a very long time, time enough to accumulate countless
species.
Secondly, there’s the factor of depth. Baikal holds many world records - not
only is it the most voluminous, the oldest and also one of theclearest lakes in
the world, it’s the planet’s deepest as well. Itsdeepest point is some 1,642
metres below the surface, which is incredible.
The thing with a very deep lake is that as you move down,the pressure increases
rapidly. If a fish finds itself under more (or less)water pressure than its
body is adapted for, it dies. Since a given species can only survive in a
certain band of depth,deeper lakes always have more species.
In short, a combination of isolation from land andincredible depth breed the
perfect conditions for endemism in Baikal. I’ll leave you with one last fact -
of all the surface freshwater onEarth, one-fifth of it is found in this one
lake. That’s more than all the GreatLakes combined!
Q4 Why is it that the Sun does not affect thehuman body?
A4 Ken Saladin, Author, Anatomy &Physiology—The Unity of Form and Function
Wed
Where did you getthat idea?
Good and bad effects of the sun on the human body:
Vitamin D synthesis, bone health, calcium balance
Folate degradation,infertility, birth defects, prenatal death
Thermoregulation,body temperature, hyperthermia
Destruction ofimmune cells of the skin, lowering defense
Dermal collagendamage, photoaging of the skin
Suntan and sunburn
DNA degradation,mutation
Skin cancer
Retinal stimulation, vision
Melatonin secretion,mood variations, sleep cycle effects
Numerous circadianrhythms of physiology
Cataracts
Postnatal changes ineye color
Melanization;evolution of human skin colors
Good versus badeffects are a matter of intensity and duration of solar
radiation.
My note- I have read elsewhere long back, ifone look at the bright sun for 2-3
minutes opening a defective eye (closing fully the other), vision of that eye
will increase little by little.
Q5 What are some psychological facts thatpeople don't know?
A5 Karen Collins, Health Psychologist｜Life Coach2h
If a person speaks less, but speak fast, they keepssecrets.
When someone says Ihate you, it really means “you hurt me”.
If we cook when we are hungry, our hunger willautomatically decrease.
70% of people willnot show interest in success if we tell them about it.
We can forget aboutdaily activities when we fall in love.
Having eye contactfor more than 6 seconds without looking away or blinking
reveals a desire foreither sex or murder.
Most of the people hate their own voice on video or on aphone call.
Being able to instantly respond with sarcasm to a sillyquestion is a sign of a
healthy brain.
You can fool yourmind into thinking that you are happy and smiling if you put a
pencil inbetween your teeth.
People who love blackcolor have the most colorful minds.
