Cosmological Inflation Theory - a review.

Inflation Theory (Cosmological), promotes idea that Humans are lucky that our current Universe has all the RIGHT Physical, Chemical and Mathematical Constants that make life as we know it possible. Even a microscopic change in any of the Constants would have rendered Human Life or even Bacterial life impossible.

The reality is that EVOLUTION chooses by elimination, that life form, which is most suited for the given environment. Implied their in, the given set of Constants will promote some life forms, however bizarre we may imagine them, then evolution and elimination will allow the most suitable to evlove further. Possibly, intelligent life form may evolve in one or more of the infinite possible MultiVerses that Creation permits.

Our limited self-centric view point causes some of us to imagine that another set of Constants will permanently prevent any Life, intelligent or otherwise. Let us adapt to the view that all Creation is always evolving in an infinite cycle of Inflation and Deflation with Life as an essential outcome. This is my meditative thought.

Needed Skills for Leadership.

Vande Matarum!  Highly skilled and capable persons, driven by passion, seek to retain Leadership position in their chosen field. Very few make it to the top and give satisfaction to the leadership seeker. Often the reason for slipping at the last step comes from a lack of certain skills which are often found in plenty in those at the bottom. 

A quick study of key stories from our ancient  Purana  known as: Mahabharat, will give great clarity. During the time of banishment to the forest for 13 years, Bhim, Arjun and Yudhistir had key experiences which explain my point on missing skills. 

Bhim, the invincible in strength, fails to move even the tail of an old monkey blocking his path in a forest.  The world's strongest man is shocked till the old monkey discloses that he  is actually Bhims' older brother Hanuman, come to share certain combat tricks.  A simple lesson in HUMILITY and not pre-judging others on basis of known standards. 

Similarly, Arjun suffers defeat in a bow-arrow battle with an apparent forest dweller, who turns out to be the great Shiva in disguise. Same lesson in not pre-judging others on basis of known standards and learning humility in inter-personal relationships. 

There is the case of Yudhistir and his meeting an Yaksh owning a pool of water.  Extreme thirst causes four brothers to fall seemingly dead when Yudhistir  after slow and much clever thinking, decides to first answer the devine Yaksh disguised as a Crane.  The success of Yudhistir in satisfying the Yaksh, causes the latter to  allow Yudhistir freedom plus the life of one brother. Here Yudhistir chooses not the most able brother but a step brother Nakul, to ensure his step mother too has one son left alive. This skill of BALANCEING opposing interests amazes the devine being who then revives all brothers.  

The lessons of TTT or Tendency to Take Time, Humility before seeming Inferiors and, Balancing Multiple Interests, prove the neccessary qualities of GREAT LEADERSHIP.  How often, even highly qualified persons make great haste in reaching decisions, neglect to understand and listen to juniors and worse, fail to seek balance of conflicting conditions. This leads to failures in the long term and frustration in the presumed leaders. Beware ... Those that seek to retain the top status must integrate these skills in their daily interactions and decision making.  JaiHind!

USELESS RESEARCH

 

I am disturbed by this RESEARCH from University Funds, which instead of RESTORING BALANCE, HARMONY RYTHEM IN ORGANISED CREATION-NATURE, only makes things worse.  Please see attached news repoerts from IndainExpressMumbai and also from InternationalNewYorkTimes of recent dates.

"Lamont Doherty Earth Observatory", Columbia University, NY, USA ...
Their scientists have done research on Carbon Capture & Sequestration (CCS) and have succeeded in a pilot project that uses 25Tonnes of water with 1Tonne of CarbonDioxide and injects this acidic mixture deep underground into Basaltic rock rich in Calcium. The fairly quick reaction (two years for the pilot), forms Calcite or CalciumCarbide complex. The news is reported in the International New York Times of 10June2016 on page-14.  It is hoped that major projects could use sea water and reduce the CO2 content in the atmosphere, thereby reducing this 'GreenHouseGas' which causes GlobalWarming and its associated disaster for all living organism including primarily Humans.

Similarly, scientists from Southhampton University, Britain are working on a  similar project in Iceland. They are working on plans to sequester the 37 billion tonnes per year of CO2 released by humans.

I am amazed and astounded.  All Creation and Nature, is inherrantly ORGANISED, BALANCED, HARMONIUS AND IN RYTHEM.  Its us Humams who arrogantly keep disturbing this Organised Balance and Harmony.  Then to restore the lost Balance we keep further disturbing same.

Lets look at what Nature is doing. Trees trap Carbon in cellulose and this is done for FREE without Research and funding and PhDs. The trees fall and get buried over time and due to movement in Earths' crust. The CCS process occurs NATURALLY over long spans of time, mostly millions of years.  Humans dig out the COAL and CRUDE OIL, and burn it in a hurry, mostly centuries. Now if we focus on planting FREE TREES, cut and bury them in the exhausted COAL MINES, we could hurry the CCS a bit. All this needs negligible RESEARCH AND FUNDING.  The areas where trees are cut could be sequentially replanted. Millions of tonnes eqivalent trees could be planted each year, and then buried after five years, in multiple locations annually.

Each nation could be given targets for this process depending on their own contribution to the Carbon problem. Coal exporting nations have benefited from income and must now invest in Nature too. Coal consuming nations have benefited and must also invest in Nature. Simultaneously, Humans must quickly switch to alternative energy sources such as Solar, Wind, GeoThermal, Wind, Tides.

The new pilot plants disturb deep rock strata with unknown future consequences, same as shale oil extraction and even StripMining.

So I am amazed, that this natural solution (needs to be refined no doubt), does not occur to our big brains. 
WHY DO THESE WORTHIES KEEP ON DISTURBING BALANCE, HARMONY AND ORGANIZATION IN CREATION-NATURE.     
PLEASE STOP, EARTH IS OUR ONLY KNOWN HOME.

SHARE WIDELY ... so that we can save our planet from incessant pain.

CURRENT FOCUS FOR #AAP-KARYAKARTA. 

#AAP needs to be proactive as its leadership is already doing in Punjab. All others, in various States need to set up Response Teams to SHADOW the key MPs and MLAs of the local ruling coalitions and use PUBLICITY and local PROTESTS to checkmate their shenigans and chicanery. E.g. in Maharashtra the AAP-Karyakarta took up OpenSpaces, gifting of land, farmer issues, health care to sensitise failures of the past and present govt. Similar examples will be there in other States. These must be multiplied many fold to highlight #AamAadmi issues.

P.A.T.D.I. has always been our platform. So we need to use JanSabhas to get Citizens to take Part and seek Accountability from the key MPs and MLAs. A need for Transperency in budgetary spends and in project selection must be prodded in Citizens and a sense of Decentralization and Integrity must be expectation from the local Govt. Failures must be highlighted at EVERY OPPORTUNITY aggressivly in #AAP style. This is the ONLY long term security of our feudal-democracy.  Citizen suggested apt solutions must be broadcast to the ElectedReps.

Better schooling with Ethics, Morality and Integrity as foundation and Skilling for jobs in Junior and Senior collages is a must. The recent unrest in educational institutions comes from certainty that decent progressive jobs are out of reach and escape to foreign lands is not feasible. We cannot export our TalentedYouth yet freely import foreign ConsumerProducts.

Youth can see only closed doors and no future in FREE INDIA, what must they do, roam the streets and steal bananas? They therefore protest and seek to destroy existing setup without having any working alternative in place. Youth need mentoring and channeling of their frustration. #AAP needs to work on this in all Univ. AAP-Mumbai had arranged debates on current issues years ago and got good response from students and faculty. This needs to be the norm for building grass root politics and 'evolvong opinion' of the constructive kind.  This will ensure that our nation moves from feudalism to swaraj democracy.

These are just observations from past five years of our attempts to change 80 Crore Voters of Bharat.  Comments and debate welcome.
JaiHind!
