CULTURAL QA 07202414
TOPIC-GENERAL KNOWLEDGE BASE QUORA QA –Compiled
Q1 What do you think of the statement; "knowledge is useless,
unless it is actually put to use?"
KR I Hodges turned hedges by generally writing without understanding
its depth. Knowledge is only well learnt and useful, when it is USED and
not MISUSED. Knowledge or the tools are only a protective measure like a
fuse saving the electrical dimensions; if never used, means the `USE is
perfect; only where MISUSE takes place, the tools are required to be USED.
In the meantime, the knowledge and the tools are being supervised properly
whether in condition, by cleansing it all.
II He who knows not, and knows not he knows not, is a fool; shun him.
He who knows not, and knows he knows not, is simple; teach him.
He who knows, and knows not he knows, is asleep; awaken him.
He who knows, and knows he knows, is wise; follow him.
The last line explains it all; he shall know that he knows so his knowledge
is used if so required at the appropriate time and space , to stich in
time, he is wise , so, wisdom is watching.
In essence, "knowledge is useless unless it is put to use" underscores the
importance of active engagement with knowledge. It encourages individuals
to apply what they know, learn from their experiences, and contribute
meaningfully to their personal growth and the advancement of society as a
whole. Thus, the true value of knowledge lies not just in possessing it,
but in leveraging it effectively to make a positive difference in the world.
III Our Upanishad explain it so openly as: “Satyam Jnaanam Anantam
Brahma (Taittiriya Upanishad 2.1.1)
The Vedas declare that reality (Brahman) is pure Existence (Sat or Satyam),
Consciousness (Cit or Jnaanam) and Infinite (Aananda or Anantam). Here is a
way to understand this, based on traditional centuries old Indian texts
like Drg-Drsya-Viveka and Maandukya Kaarika. The argument is the same as
given in those texts. I have only used a more modern language.
1. Satyam What we see as the world is based on the sense organs and the
instruments that extend the sense organs. The human eye can see only a
limited range of frequencies. Similarly the ears can hear only a limited
range. There are other animals which have a different range of vision and
sound. Also, they have a much more powerful sense of smell than us. So
their world is an entirely different one. Sharks can detect the electrical
current in the bodies of animals swimming in the water a few meters away.
Even with all the modern technology to extend our access to the various
physical phenomena in the world, there is no reason to assume that what we
detect in the world is all that actually exists. There can be entirely new
kinds of matter and energy that so far we do not have senses or instruments
to detect.
What we see and interpret depends on the state of our mind. If we like
someone, we see them as beautiful. The chemicals and hormones in our blood
affect the way we think and judge. Also, all our past experience affects
our interpretation of the people, objects and situations in the world.
Thus, though the world seems to appear outside us objectively, what we know
of the world is only what our instruments (senses and mind) show us. We
know that properties like color, sound, texture, etc. are all emergent
phenomenon. When we look at things at their minutest constituents known
today like quarks and leptons, these properties do not exist. There are a
different set of fundamental properties, which give rise to the perceivable
properties at various composite grosser levels.
Vedanta extends this concept and says, “As long as properties are
experienced, you have not reached the most fundamental level.” So, every
property is only an emergent phenomenon. At the ultimate fundamental level,
Existence would necessarily be free from any properties. Vedanta gives an
example to understand this: pot-ness does not exist in the clay out of
which pot is made.
This fundamental entity, of which the whole universe is made of, is called
Sat or Satyam. It cannot have any properties (nirguna). Any two objects are
distinguished only based on properties. As Sat does not have any
properties, is has to be only one (ekam eva adviteeyam). Any change is only
a change of properties. So Sat has to be changeless (nirvikaara).
Changeless with respect to space and time. So Sat is all-pervading
(sarvagata) and eternal (nityam). Parts of an entity are based on
properties of constituents. So Sat is partless (akhanda). So, Sat is One,
Infinite, All-pervading, Eternal, Changeless, Partless, Property-less,
Absolute Existence.
2. Jnaanam When I see a flower, I (subject) am the body, including
the eye. The flower is the object. Form and color of the flower are
properties. When I want to judge the properties of the eye like myopia or
colour-blindness, I put one step back. The eye is the object. I, including
the mind, is the subject. Extending this further, the real “I” is the
ultimate subject, which can never become an object of perception by the
senses or conception by the mind. [Drg Drsya Viveka – 1-5] This ultimate
subject is called Cit or Jnanam. I need to extend myself to the edge of the
instrument that is in contact with the object (internal or external) to
experience and evaluate the properties of the object. Thus, I, the Cit,
being the ultimate subject, cannot have any properties. Applying the same
logic that we applied to Sat, Cit also is One, Infinite, All-pervading,
Eternal, Changeless, Partless, Property-less, Absolute Existence. So, Sat
and Cit are not different. They are the same entity. Thus, real I, the
Consciousness is the fundamental entity from which the whole universe has
emerged. This is conveyed in innumerable statements in the various
Upanishads belonging to various Vedas.
3. Anantam To understand the relationship between the infinite Sat-Cit
and the finite world, less us take an example.
We have the numbers 1, 2, 3, 4, … The existence of these finite numbers
indicate that we can go on counting for ever. So we have the concept of
“infinity” in mathematics. From the point of view of infinity, we cannot
distinguish finite numbers like 1, 2, 3, etc. This can be seen from the
equations below:
(1) inf – 1 = inf
(2) inf – 2 = inf
>From (1) and (2),
inf – 1 = inf – 2
Thus from the point of view of infinity, 1, 2, 3, etc do not exist as
discrete numbers. As the number line is homogeneous, any point on it is
only imaginary. There is really no difference between one point and another
point. Thus, from the point of view of infinity, finite does not exist. But
from the point of view of finite, infinite exists. Now, we can apply the
same logic to the whole of existence. We have seen that Sat-Cit is the
Infinite. The world that we see is finite. From the point of view of
infinite Sat-Cit, the finite world does not exist. From the point of view
of the finite world, the existence of infinite Sat-Cit cannot be denied.
So, Sat-Cit has absolute existence and the empirical world has only
relative existence.

Q2 How can I improve my basic knowledge about everything?
A2 Anjali Saanvi Srinivasan, A university student and an avid
reader. Jun 24 Integrating these strategies into your daily routine will
continuously expand your knowledge, making you more informed and versatile..
KR Perfectly said; That is what I say; keep reading; reading from others;
reading from experiences; reading from Books; reading from ancient Vedas a
treasure trove; reading from your own mind. But people do not listen but
wants to compete without tools; and unless gets into the pool, one cannot
learn swimming.
----------------------------------------------
Q3 Are there any significant discoveries that were discovered
by accident?
KR ALL DISCOVERIES WERE ONLY ACCIDENTAL. Accidental discoveries in
science and other fields often occur unexpectedly, outside the intended
scope of research or experimentation. These discoveries have sometimes led
to significant breakthroughs and advancements, challenging previous
assumptions and opening up new avenues of exploration. Here are some
notable examples across various disciplines:
Science Penicillin (Medicine): Accidental Discovery: In 1928, Alexander
Fleming noticed that a mold (Penicillium) had contaminated his bacterial
culture plates, leading to the death of bacteria around the mold.
Impact: This accidental discovery led to the development of penicillin, the
first antibiotic drug, which revolutionized medicine by effectively
treating bacterial infections.
Microwave Oven (Technology): Accidental Discovery: In 1945, engineer Percy
Spencer was working on microwave radar technology when he noticed a candy
bar in his pocket had melted near the equipment. Impact: This observation
led to the development of the microwave oven, a widely used kitchen
appliance that uses microwave radiation for cooking food.
X-rays (Physics/Medicine): Accidental Discovery: In 1895, Wilhelm Conrad
Roentgen discovered X-rays while experimenting with cathode ray tubes in
his laboratory. Impact: X-rays revolutionized medical imaging, allowing
physicians to see inside the human body without invasive surgery, leading
to advancements in diagnosis and treatment.
Other Fields
Post-it Notes (Consumer Products): Accidental Discovery: In 1968, Spencer
Silver at 3M was trying to develop a strong adhesive but instead created a
weak adhesive that could be repositioned multiple times. Impact: This
accidental discovery led to the development of Post-it Notes, which became
a ubiquitous office supply for note-taking and reminders.
Vulcanized Rubber (Materials Science): Accidental Discovery: In 1839,
Charles Goodyear accidentally dropped a mixture of rubber and sulphur onto
a hot stove, resulting in a durable and elastic material. Impact:
Vulcanized rubber revolutionized industries relying on rubber products,
making them more durable and weather-resistant.
Teflon (Chemistry): Accidental Discovery: In 1938, Roy Plunkett at DuPont
accidentally discovered Teflon (polytetrafluoroethylene) while
investigating refrigerants. Impact: Teflon is now used as a non-stick
coating in cookware and has various industrial applications due to its
chemical resistance and low friction properties.
Art and Literature
Impressionism (Art): Accidental Influence: The Impressionist movement in
art emerged partly due to the accidental juxtaposition of colours and use
of light in outdoor painting, challenging traditional techniques.
Sherlock Holmes (Literature): Accidental Creation: Arthur Conan Doyle
created Sherlock Holmes as a character for a short story, not anticipating
the immense popularity and lasting impact of the detective on literature
and culture.
Accidental discoveries often arise from curiosity, experimentation, and
serendipity. They highlight the unpredictable nature of scientific and
creative pursuits, demonstrating how chance observations can lead to
groundbreaking innovations and shifts in understanding across disciplines.
These discoveries underscore the importance of openness to unexpected
outcomes and the value of exploring unexpected results in research and
experimentation K RAJARAM IRS 14724

Q4 What are the most important historical events and figures
that everyone should know about?
KR Every change brought about the change of shape of
everything. The book “100 Books That Changed the World" by Scott
Christianson. This book is divided into two volumes and explores the impact
of various influential books throughout history across different fields
such as literature, science, politics, and philosophy. It discusses how
these books have shaped ideas, movements, and societal changes, making them
pivotal in their respective domains. NOT ONE OR A FEW; MANY EVENTS THAT
CHANGED THE WORLD STARTING FROM EVOLUTIONS INVOLUTIONS AND THE Rig Vedam.

Q6 KR: While feathers vary in shape, size, and coloration across
bird species, their presence is universal among birds. Feathers are formed
from keratin, the same protein found in human hair and nails, but they have
evolved into highly specialized structures adapted for the unique
lifestyles and ecological niches of birds.
Q7 What does "pursuit of knowledge" refer to?
KR Endless Exploration: Knowledge is vast and ever-expanding. There
is always more to discover, learn, and understand in every field of study,
from the sciences to the humanities.
