Indian Carl Sagan - Rakesh Sharma

 THE HISTORICAL MOMENT

Sometimes legendary people say some remarkable words in iconic moments. It might be Carl Sagan mentioning the earth as a Pale blue dot when he saw the first-ever taken picture of earth from some 6 billion kilometers by Voyager 1, which is one of the proud achievements of humankind.

Carl Sagan

let me tell you the story of  a Man who did also quoted something which every Indian feel proud, it was on April 2, 1984, when India was starting to take small steps towards space exploration .and the IAF pilot Rakesh Sharma went to space for the first time and one of us made into space and we all were proud. 
Rakesh Sharma

And there happened a conversation between Rakesh Sharma And former prime minister Indira Gandhi, when our PM asked Rakesh Sharma "Upar se Bharat kaisa dikhta hai aapko (How does India look like from space?)."And the legendary man said in reply "Saare jahaan se achcha" or "Better then the whole world”. Which made every Indian hypnotizing, and this conversation remained in the pages of history .he was not the poet nor the Carl Sagan but what makes them utter those beautiful words in the joy-full moments? .they really understood how important and significant positions they were in.

Saturn And My Childhood

I wondered how a celestial object might have a ring. It all sounded very mythical and quite unbelievable, to be frank. As I grew up, the curiosity built up, and I did accept the truth — yes, Saturn does have rings. Did I see them with my own eyes? No, but many pictures on the internet show the same. All the satellites sent, or the stupendously big telescopes, all say the same thing — the object that is 21 times the diameter of Earth looks so tiny, having a beautiful ring around it. The ring looks so enormous, yet its height is just 10 meters — thinner than a sheet of paper if you scale it down. Anyway, all the science may take a back seat; as a kid, it was always my dream to watch those rings in real time. As I was walking along the roadside this evening, it struck me — it’s October, and Saturn might be high above in the sky, the perfect time to spot it. So I just rushed to my room, took out my telescope, and pointed it toward it — boom! My dream came true. I witnessed the rings!!! ...

TIME

What is time? you may think it is a stupid question to ask, but anyway, ask yourself what is time? Is it what your watch notifies or a calendar or seasons? or time is just a concept in our brain that never really exists? Before scientifically answering this question, let me simplify. Time is a single-direction thing, you can never go in the past. You can’t unscramble the egg, or unread my article. It is one direction for sure but we are not in command of it, It goes at one speed and can’t go backward or forward, yea yea I’m keeping complicated science away. just to avoid complications of time travel, let us be in real and try to get this term time in simple things. As I searched for the definition of time, one thing was sure, it is the most unknown of unknown things in this world. But plays a very vital role, in how we feel that time is very important, sometimes we want to escape, and sometimes we want to re-live it. Among all the things of entropy and time traveling we can make ...

Survivors Bias, Dropping out of college isn't that great idea!

Let me tell you the story of world war 2, British were losing their bomber aircraft at an increasing rate against the German army, but they desperately wanted to find a solution to this problem, So they analyzed all the air crafts that came back. They noted and found out the areas of the aircraft where most of the bullets were hit or damage happened, and they decided to armor those parts of the aircraft, sounds intuitive, isn’t it? But to their surprise, the applied mathematics department had a different plan (I was shocked by the fact that they had applied mathematics in the military) So Abraham Wald, based on his statistical research suggested the British military, Armor those parts of the aircraft where no damage is seen or observed, but this brought huge success in coming war days. The reason behind this counterintuitive decision was that they were only looking at the aircraft which returned. means that all the aircraft hit by German in different areas failed to return, so all surv...
