KR Just a graduate of 21 year old who is yet to see the world speaks about useful facts: Low volt electricity does not travel through wooden sticks. (Dry) KR My Grandma knows it Next time when you witness an electric shock, you can use a wooden stick to push the accident victim off a wire. KR I think many TV serials are seen. The average Cell Phone screen is 10 times dirtier than a toilet seat. So, always manage a small time daily to clean. KR Do we not see DIRTY HARRYs only among the students? Eating blueberries daily helps you boost your short term memory. Rather than complaining about your short memory brain, start to take blueberries daily. KR Memory is health perfection oriented; so not only blue berry , any berry or any healthy balanced diet will do. Both declarative and procedural memory systems are elements of long-term memory, as contrasted to short-term or working memory. Declarative (including semantic and episodic) memory is an explicit form of memory, where facts are stored and can be recalled and “declared.” Procedural memory, by contrast, is an implicit form of memory, whereby performances can be elicited without conscious thought. The episodic memory system is related to the location or time of a personally-experienced event; an example would be the content of a particular training event that this trainee attended. The semantic memory system is related to facts that are not based on any personal recollection of episodic memory. An example would be identifying the pharmaceutical company with the highest global sales figures. Thus training per se engages the declarative memory system, either episodic or semantic. Human memory systems encompass several different types of cognitive phenomena and reflect our ability to learn, store, and later retrieve information. Although numerous subdivisions and classifications exist, episodic memory is what most people are referring to when they discuss memory. Episodic memory refers to memory of events or episodes in one's life that are related to a particular time and place. Episodic memories are: flexible, in which small details of a memory can be accessed in isolation (e.g., where you went for dinner last week) or the entire multimodal memory can be retrieved; relational, in which details of the memory are connected to each other and relate to your personal experience of the event; and contextual, in which the memory incorporates rich information about the environment and/or situation (i.e., they are context specific). Classic models of memory place episodic memory within the declarative memory system, which refers to memories that are directly accessible to conscious recollection. Episodic memory can be contrasted with semantic memory, which is another component of the declarative memory system and refers to a person's fund of general information. Unlike episodic memories, semantic memories reflect information that does not depend on a particular time or place (i.e., they are context general). Thus, knowing that Cleopatra was a queen of Egypt is part of semantic memory; remembering a time when one saw Shakespeare's Antony and Cleopatra is part of episodic memory. Similarly, learning a list of words is a function of episodic memory; knowing what the words mean depends on semantic memory. Importantly, many memories contain both episodic and semantic information, allowing for a more vivid representation of the memory. (hence it is a wide subject which a 21 year old may not……..) Q2 What's the main thing about the universe that cannot be explained by science? R and G Determining the "main" thing about the universe that science can't explain is subjective and depends on individual perspectives and interpretations. However, several prominent candidates exist: 1. Consciousness: 2. The origin and ultimate fate of the universe: 3. The existence and nature of dark matter and dark energy: 4. The emergence of life and its potential beyond Earth: 5. The fundamental nature of reality: \It's important to remember that science is constantly evolving and pushing the boundaries of knowledge. What may seem unexplainable today might find a scientific explanation tomorrow. KR I appreciate the young man; but the older generations by this time should have learnt better or read what I had been writing so far; even today on time I had written wrt the science. 1 Consciousness as Indian Vedas teach us is as abstract as the science is trying to unearth; the USA and many other nations have done communications made through their minds parted by distance, by corelating the graph projections of both. Science is trying to establish data only through the graphs (electro cardio graph) about the brain functions. So as admitted by Stephen hawking, these things can never be achieved at all. (II) One who had studied the NASADIYA SUKTHAM DIRECTLY OR WRITTEN BY ME AMY A TIMES, WILL KNOW, no brain or experiment or fossils or any advanced hydrogen, Helium etc can perfectly tell, any one , what was the origin, since none of (we were there but…B G ) us may remember. Nasadiya suktham the first literature alone were the closest; even they said: इ॒यं विसृ॑ष्टि॒र्यत॑ आब॒भूव॒ यदि॑ वा द॒धे यदि॑ वा॒ न। यो अ॒स्याध्य॑क्षः पर॒मे व्यो॑म॒न्त्सो अ॒ङ्ग वे॑द॒ यदि॑ वा॒ न वेद॑॥ ७॥ iyam visrushtir-yata aabhabhuuva yadi vaa dadhe yadi va na | yo asyaadhyakshah parame vy-o-mantso anga ve-eda yadi va ne veda || 7 || Where did creation have its origin? Who is One that created it or did the One not create it? That One alone perceives all from above and knows the beginning or maybe doesn’t? (III) The science had opened the gate of dark energy and the dark matter and even has photographs through HUBBLE. Black hole is well described in Rig Vedam. So, it cannot be said the science did not know about it. (IV) Emergence of life and potential beyond earth are well diagnosed by the science reasonably well; of course, the theory advanced is questionable and subject to alterations; but theory is founded. (V) Fundamental nature or reality? Author is not clear for me to answer. Q3 Can you tell me something inspiring? G ***Nothing in this universe will inspire you more than your good deeds. Just give your best in your work and inspiration will follow you. My note- I emphasise the truth of that statement. Those who abuse others, making negative observations on others may note it. KR I was not interested in the Youngman anecdote as that was his personal; but the aged cracked a joke at the end and that made me say , how an actor the writer is? INSPIRATION: Absolutely, inspiration is the heartbeat of creativity, the catalyst that ignites the flame within us, propelling us toward our goals and dreams. It acts as a guiding force, a muse that whispers ideas into our consciousness and fuels our passion to create, innovate, and excel. At its core, inspiration is a blend of emotions, experiences, and moments that strike a chord deep within us. It can manifest in various forms – a breathtaking landscape, a moving piece of music, a powerful speech, or even a simple act of kindness. It has the power to transcend boundaries, to traverse cultures, languages, and backgrounds, touching hearts and minds universally. One of the most captivating aspects of inspiration is its ability to spark creativity. When inspired, our minds break free from the confines of routine and familiarity, exploring new realms of imagination. It’s like a cascade of ideas, each one building upon the last, creating a symphony *of thoughts that lead to innovation and originality.* Moreover, inspiration is not solely about grand revelations or life-altering moments. It often hides in the mundane, waiting to be discovered in the ordinary facets of life. It could be found in a conversation with a friend, the pages of a book, the melody of a song, or even in the quiet solitude of a morning sunrise. The key lies in being receptive, in opening ourselves to the world around us, ready to embrace the spark that can set our souls on fire. *Importantly, inspiration is a force that drives action.* It’s not merely about feeling motivated; it’s about channelling that motivation into tangible steps forward. It nudges us out of our comfort zones, urging us to chase our aspirations, turning dreams into reality. *However, inspiration can be elusive*. It doesn’t always arrive on command. Sometimes, it requires patience, persistence, and an open mind. It’s about nurturing a mindset that welcomes inspiration, allowing it to weave its magic at its own pace. In conclusion, inspiration is the heartbeat of progress and the essence of human ingenuity. It’s the catalyst that fuels innovation, the guiding light that leads us toward our aspirations. It dwells in the world around us, waiting to be discovered and harnessed. So, let’s stay open, curious, and receptive, for in the embrace of inspiration lies the power to transform our lives and the world around us. Now let me know, whether a candy business will eke out profit Rs 2000 a day is a question to ask; and how did he know the candy business and it will eke out? he should have had a back up or he knew it as one already experienced around him, even as he was so young. So it is not at all inspiration to do at Besant Nagar where, I resided and no one will but any such things there as 75% of the homes do have some one in USA. Inspiration is that which takes others by storm, ad that person leads the society; candy is the oldest business. So now one can understand, why the real abusers, shifts the wily acts carried out by them, on others? and how the bad people always project a refined image, knowing fully well, the whole world is aware of their guilt. And is there in Villainy carried out by them any creativity, to cause any inspiration? I don’t know sir as villainy is the oldest product of the earth. Q4 What are some of the greatest examples of presence of mind? KR I have 2 books one on life of Sathyamurthy and another his wits; but I do not find any such episode as narrated, as the presence of mind. May be your presence of mind? Or escaping under it will continue only errors clause?

Selected quora answers generally interesting are included .Still they need not be 100% correct answers. Compiled and posted by R. Gopala Krishnan, 80, on 30-12-2023. Q1 What are some extremely useful facts that you know? A1 Aabishkar Wagle, BSc. Hons IT from University of Wolverhampton (Graduated 2019) Updated 5y Low volt electricity does not travel through wooden sticks. (Dry) Next time when you witness an electric shock, you can use a wooden stick to push the accident victim off a wire. The average Cell Phone screen is 10 times dirtier than a toilet seat. So, always manage a small time daily to clean. Eating blueberries daily helps you boost your short term memory. Rather than complaining about your short memory brain, start to take blueberries daily. Q2 What's the main thing about the universe that cannot be explained by science? A2 Chitransh Rahul Saxena 20h Determining the "main" thing about the universe that science can't explain is subjective and depends on individual perspectives and interpretations. However, several prominent candidates exist: 1. Consciousness: Despite significant neuroscientific advancements, the nature of consciousness and its emergence from physical processes remains a major puzzle. We understand the brain's electrical and chemical activities, but the "what it's like" aspect of subjective experience, qualia, eludes scientific explanation. 2. The origin and ultimate fate of the universe: Theories like the Big Bang and cosmic expansion provide compelling models for the universe's early stages and large-scale evolution. However, questions like what existed before the Big Bang, what lies beyond the observable universe, and what will ultimately happen to everything remain unanswered. 3. The existence and nature of dark matter and dark energy: These invisible components make up most of the universe's energy and mass, yet their composition and properties remain largely unknown. Scientists actively search for dark matter particles and study the expansion of the universe to unravel their mysteries. 4. The emergence of life and its potential beyond Earth: We understand the basic principles of life on Earth, but how exactly did it arise from non-living matter? Is life unique to Earth, or does it exist elsewhere in the universe? These questions push the boundaries of what science can currently answer. 5. The fundamental nature of reality: Questions about the nature of space, time, and the laws of physics delve into the deepest mysteries of existence. Are these fundamental elements absolute, or are they emergent properties of something more profound? Understanding the underpinnings of reality remains a long-term pursuit. It's important to remember that science is constantly evolving and pushing the boundaries of knowledge. What may seem unexplainable today might find a scientific explanation tomorrow. However, there's also the possibility that some aspects of the universe, like the essence of consciousness, might lie outside the realm of scientific inquiry and belong to philosophical or spiritual domains. Q3 Can you tell me something inspiring? A3 Murtuza Kanjeta, Student at IIT Madras Updated 2y I met this guy(middle one) on Elliot beach(chennai). He was selling cotton candy. I was clicking his pic then he asked me if I want the candy hair. I usually don’t carry money (cash) as I pay through digital mode 99% of time. But he offered me for free. I asked him where he came from and how he manages his life. I was shocked when he told me that he completed his 10th std from UP(Uttar Pradesh) and he came to Chennai all alone for earning money. Like he could have gone to Mumbai or some other north place due to ease in language but he chose Chennai. He learnt Tamil in just a span of 2 months (atleast he can communicate) and throughout the day he sells candy and makes a profit of nearly 2000 per day. As a gujju I asked him about his way of doing business, he wakes up at 4am and makes cotton candy with an equipment he purchased at a cost of 3000/- nearly he spends 200rs per day and makes 2000 RS profit. He was happy with his life and that made me happy too. We always want inspiration from other people but that boy was getting inspiration from his own work. ***Nothing in this universe will inspire you more than your good deeds. Just give your best in your work and inspiration will follow you. My note- I emphasise the truth of that statement. Those who abuse others, making negative observations on others may note it. Q4 What are some of the greatest examples of presence of mind? A4 Sunil Hembram, Former Student at Indian Institute of Science Education and Research, Kolkata (IISER-K) (2012–2017)Updated 6y This is a story about S. Satyamurti, who was a leading nationalist and a politician. He was known for his great oratory and his words carried wisdom, wit and logic. Once he went to England to present India’s case for freedom. He met the leading politicians in Britain. He pleaded them to restore self-government to India. He addressed several public meetings. They were well attended. At a meeting, while he was presenting India’s case for freedom, a heckler asked, “Do you know that the sun never sets on the British Empire?” That was true. For Britain had colonies all around the globe. And always it was day in some or the other part of the Empire. Satyamurti looked in the general direction of the crowd from where the question had come and smiled. The heckler felt he had nettled Satyamurti. He thought Satyamurti would not have a convincing reply. Here he went wrong. For Satyamurti replied, “ Do you know why? Even the sun doesn’t trust the British in the dark.” The laughter of the crowd pitched high. The heckler quickly ran out. He had learnt one lesson. He had met more than his match. He should have remained silent. He should not have heckled Satyamurti. Note: Last year when India celebrated the 70 I-Day, this unsung hero who fought for our independence was remembered. Q5 What is the latest joke about old age? A5 Gopalkrishna Vishwanath, I know lots of them. But most can't be narrated without spoiling my good name.5h In my WhatsApp group of old men in my age group, some are still a bit naughty. Here is a joke shared by one of them in the group. A group of Indian oldies decided to set out on a pilgrimage along with a guide.The guide made all arrangements and lectured the group on dos and don’ts during the journey. One of the don’ts was ‘When traveling don’t look at or stare at beautiful woman if there are any on the way. Look straight ahead and watch your step. Remember that you are on a pilgrimage. If by accident you happen to see them Chant “Hari Om”, “Hari Om”, turn your eyes away and continue on your way.The group agreed. On the way they saw an aged hermit sitting on the side of the road who was loudly chanting “Hari om”. The group rushed towards him and asked “Where?” My note- For the crippled brain – It was heard as “Hurry On” -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "iyer123" group.
