Time to think

My readers have been accustomed to get a 'Sorry for being inactive' welcome.This time too I intend not to break the monotony.
The fact that I am a poor Computer Engineering student from NITK and the rare instances of time when we are served a worthwhile Internet connectivity may successfully justify my absence from the blogging circuit.Add to it my 'committed' responsibilities and you know how stressed I am.
Well this time I take up a pen for a purely selfish reason.And no it is not TRP!!
I am not KRK (those whose are not jobless enough to watch Bigg Boss 3, please ignore).It is because I realized that my interaction with English had become very infrequent,being restricted to 'present sir' and 'yes ma'am'.So why not invest my time into some writing.I must not loose the touch.

What would have been a forgettable day today,turned out to be spectacular and inspiring.Thanks to Dr.B.M. Hegde's seminar. (visit www.bmhegde.com)
It was a seminar titled "What is research?" organised by the Computer Engineering department of our college.
Now here I jolt down some of the trivial scientific facts a computer engineer learnt today from a cardiologist.

• The only physics principle that has not yet been refuted is the Heisenberg's Uncertainty principle.
• Heart does not pump blood.(It merely gives it a whirl !!)
• Energy = Matter (Take that Einstein)
• Keep dividing subatomic particles and it stops at plasma supposed to have come from an ethereal world.
  
• Fever is body's mechanism to increase the temperature so that all harmful viruses get killed.
  
• All our physics and Chemistry till today sees mention in the Rigveda.
• A zygote knows all the information in this entire world.Let me explain this.Suppose you want to have a car that no one else has in your city.For this you need to have information about cars of all others in your city.You have to know everything about cars in your city.In the same way,for a zygote to possess unique DNA,it must know about all other DNA patterns.As a zygote has a unique DNA, it knows everything about all other DNA,all other information carriers and hence a zygote is omniscient.

Facts apart,what he conveyed from this interaction was that research is not some industry sponsored parrot learning activity with predefined goals but a process where one humbly succumbs to the beauty of the concept,keeps aside his preconceived notions and models a system through iterative submissive enquiries.
It is a process of THINKING.
Wow it feels so good to get back to basic sciences.Anyways have to work (copy +paste) on an economics assignment.I'll call it a day.
Enjoy.
