Making another planet a home ?

This is another post after long time again as usual, I have reason that I have become father of two. Its amazing that time just fly by when you are awake and sleep :) Today it is about moving out of earth.

I just read a news about Stefan Hawkins about the long term livability of earth and we must flee earth. It was amazing for me to realize that the thought process which he has got.

The theory goes like, In hundred years of time, it will be difficult for us to manage and live in this our mother earth. This is due to disasters from inside earth and outside of it. So, it was high time for me to find what human had already done for this part.

I was literally amazed that there were so many human being thinking about it and also did much about it. It was my first choice that Mars to be the next possible nearest planet to make it our home. It is worse that the planet is much worse than the earth that we cant even imagine living there.

But there were so many work already done to analyse how do we make Mars livable. see the image below

This story goes like making the ice in Mars north pole to melt and get the water out of it to make ocean, river and make it like earth, remember it is an 1000 year plan (??!!) can you imagine what you and me will be doing by then (!!?)

But at least there is a thought process about the very distant future, which is still imaginable.

My simple question is, when we try all these very hard work to make Mars livable, why cant we save our earth from dying, which could be a easy option instead ??

Time

I have been reading a book on time by Paul Davies. It was interesting as time and space are till now open science, since it was opened by Einstein. Here it goes

We just live in a prison of time. But we never thought about how to come out of it. But actually when you think of coming out of it means become temporal (Like lord Bramha). The God :)

Time is just created for human by human. Who knows the correct time as you reading this ? As of now the cesium atomic clock is perfect one for at least thousands of years. Our earth itself is not keeping its time for a single day (one rotation) so its not possible to define one second is 1/86400 of a day. It is defined as 9,192.631,770 beats of a cesium atom. To correct the clock to sync with earth rotation sometimes we have to add "leap seconds" into our cesium atomic clock. Last time it happened was during June 1994. So the cesium clock is correct than our earth. How do we define time then?

As per Einstein, time is having a start and end, means we can reverse it. But even with theory it is not yet proved. If we try to stretch this theories to this limit, it often clash with the religious thoughts.

In Hindu religion there was a story of time,

Once Narath asked Lord Vishnu to clear him on what time is.

Vishnu asked Narath to go to a river in Earth and get water for him. As instructed, Narath went to riverside to bring water, but on the other side he seen a beautiful lady taking bath..

He got lost his memory and went along with the girl to her house. Days went by and soon he got married to the same girl. Years went by.. he inherited her fathers business and got 3 kids.

Once when Narath and his family was crossing the river on a boat, there was a sudden flood tossed the boat. Except Narath all of them died. Only Narath got escaped. Helplessly by looking at his entire family washed away in the flood, he started crying until he was weak. He turned to Vishnu when he felt some one touching him from the back when he was still crying. Vishnu asked Narath Why are you crying ?

Then Lord explained him later that it was all Maya of time, between you went to bring water and now.

Time is out now.. prison is calling :) catch later..

Science Revisited

Its again a good gap since I have posted one. Here I am back alone and got time to open this blog. Now a days I am again back into the olden days when I have been so attached to the science and inventions.

Even though I have not invented anything worthy, some time I felt that some one made it big with my thoughts :)

One example is the concept "The Matrix".

During my college days (1993-95) I managed to assemble a FM radio that connects to hand made speakers (managed to stick normal magazine cover as vibrating material and handmade coil). But in the night before sleep I used to connect them to the ear-plug and hear local radio songs. I always hated wearing ear-plug, which normally does not fit properly or painful.

I was imagining of a input audio to brain instead of through ear, why cant we make a electronic connection with the nerve system (so avoid analogue ear drum :) ), which can balance between the external audio connection and our natural ears. I thought this will be same for video directly connecting with the video nerves. Wired is it ?

Just imagine your life with out our 5 senses. Can you imagine you cant see, hear, taste, sense and smell. What would the world looks like ? Nothing right ? So, now bypass all our natural sensors (eye, ears, nose, tongue and skin) and connect a controlled computer output, which would be making our virtual reality a reality.

My thoughts were the concept for the movie "The Matrix" which got released when I was working in Pune (In 1999). I really surprised to see it on movie which I was always thinking about directly connecting to brain.

Now also still I am awaiting a wireless device connected to brain embedded in our skin, which will connect with a bluetooth device... This is just to avoid having ear plugs and TV/Mobile/Computer screens ;) let me hope this will be reality soon....
