Meet Prof Heisenstein!! (on a side note- why does he remind of Heisenberg, Einstein..)

Hi. I am in the middle of something important but I have something to share that can't wait. So my "blabber" this time is about- Prof Heisenstein (remember Heisenberg and Einstein?)!! He's going to be my guest blogger for ....wait I don't have another one... umm ok.. He's mine for an YEAR!!

Now please behave as he's the winner of 2 (yeah yall heard me right!!) frigging Nobel Prizes( i respect them prizes(too much gangsta rap i guess!!) tooo much to type the "n" and "p" in small caps). So he will occasionally do the blogging. And also a heads up, he may start debating with himself as he has a split personality or so I've heard. SO BE GENTLE..

Ok ciao for now I have got some work.. Next blog post will be from Prof HeisenStein!!
(I'll also upload his picture after I am done with the work I got..)


P.S- To all those readers who might happen to be from cognitive/psychology sciences- I am NOT A MENTALLY RETARDED PERSON although I've known to behave like one sometimes(like now?). But I would love to volunteer myself for human experimentation if you have reason to believe that I am retarded (I've scientific temper)...

Why Anything divided by Zero gives INFINITY? And more importantly why am I doing this 3.30 in the morning>

Yeh heh. Oops its 3.20 in the night. But what the hell. Tomorrow's sunday. Ok I need to get some sleep but before that there's another "blabber" I wanna share it y'all.

Ok this one's for all those guys who were pretty unfortunate to study in a class whose primary intention was to get more marks (sorry guys you people just missed out on so much just like me). Its been less than a year since I completely my 12 grade and I discovered something important (according to my standards at least). We have all wondered why on earth is the answer infinity whenever the question involves anything divided by zero. Pray O people! Pray! For I have the solution!!

Consider a problem uber-simple one like 2/0.The answer we geeks (I am proud to call myself that!) always have blurting out in these kinds of problems is INFINITY!! Lets look into it. What does zero mean anyways? It isn't a "normal" number. It has several properties by which its pretty easy to explain why does zero have weird characteristics. The most fundamental in this case is that it has no physical extension what so evar. I mean if you plot it onto a co-ordinate plane then you will see that it is on the intersection of the axes. Unlike other numbers which have a physical entity zero has only a dot i.e, you can't really say that it has any physical space associated with it.To the o.O 'ed folks- When we plot 2 or 3 on the graph we count that many units of distance from zero; this "distance" is what I mean by physical extension. But zero on the other hand has no such thing.

Thats the beautuful Infinity. I know right?

So by logic if you divide 2 by "nothing" you'll get infinite values.(A lot of people who haven't done limits/calculus won't- come visit the blog when you learn or better just mail me). This is obviously drawn on the same analogy derivatives work on- dividing a space or in this case a line into infinite things that when you add you get the original value. So zero dividing any value works on the same principle. Zero being physically meaningless can be be assumed as some sort of an invisible ninja who working at the speed of light cuts the 2 into infinite pieces. =)

So get it? It's pretty easy to understand not that difficult at all. You just have to visualize things. In a funny way so that it'll stick to your head for a longer time. If you have any problem even understanding please commentaire? Oui? (IDK why do I have so much fascination with french o.O)

Ok I gotta hit the bed its pretty late in the night and I have loads of things that I have planned for doing. (I don't even do half of them but still I like to be an optimist!)

Bonne nuit =)


P.S- I'll soon upload the cartoons and other pictures that I made regarding this "pathbreaking discovery" (lol) I made.

MIT Blogs, Blabbers

Ok I haven't been active as I was in that previous week where all of a sudden I published over 80% of posts. IDK why is that. But any ways i am back now i'll definitely try to get one post online every week. Ok lets forget all this and please read my blabbers(new meaning that I thought of- the actual reason or the whatever thing that the blogger has to share) for this post

Ok. I am a huge fan of the MIT undergrad blogs (check them out here:-mitadmissions.org/blogs). I have been following them ever since I was in 8th grade. They showed me a different life altogether. I knew about MIT, Harvard and all those Ivies before but reading those blogs instilled a sense of how awesome your college life can be. You see I am from India and here people think of going to college studying hard to get a decent job. And by college I mean "engineering".(People here don't even think of other subjects as time worthy as they don't get much salary if they don't study engineering!) So what all I saw around me was nothing but mindless and numb way of approaching to college. So I actually defined college like this - a factory where high potential "investments" created with capability of getting very high salaries. But then for some reason I went to web.mit.edu and clicked on mitadmissions.org and boom! My whole concept of how boring college could be was turned upside down. My first thought- Man these people attend MIT and yet are having so much fun!
So began my "discovery" of what college could be and most importantly what MIT was! I read about the hacks, Brass rat, CPW, Baker House and before I knew it the site became my favorite "hang out" on the net, more than facebook.com . But then some time back I got super busy with school and other things and lost out on following the blogs. I enrolled at a college here in India doing economics. So I completely forgot about the blogs.

But then few days back I visited  their site and since then I am visiting evar since =) It makes me feel very nostalgic as the MIT blogs are one of the things that I truly love. And also they take me back to my early days at high school...

So please do check the awesome blogs and discover the awesome part of MIT that you don't know!!

Why Rajapaksa is Evil for Lanka.

All though nothing recently has taken place in Sri Lanka I write this post to express the falling state of Sri Lanka's so called democracy. Yeah that's right a democracy whose constitution promotes the rights of the majority while denying the same opportunities to its minority. That is just the democratic machinery. The main violations of any human right existing is committed by those who justify their actions based on the democracy. The main violator is without doubt the current head of Sri Lanka Mahinda Rajapaksa. Under his regime almost every violations have been stepped up. Media is actively censored and according to the rankings released by Reporters Without Borders Sri Lanka is ranked 158th in the world. A country whose media is censored to that extent indicates the collapse in the basic structure of democracy. 

Mahinda Rajapaksa

After the Presidential win in 2005 Rajapaksa actively galvanized the government to end the LTTE. He along with his Army chief Sarath Fonseka started the main operations to end the Civil War once for all. It culminated by the deaths of the entire senior establishment of LTTE. Prabhakaran who was the head since the inception of LTTE was killed in action along with his entire family. Obviously many believed at that time that Sri Lanka would be now normal. But then a rift emerged between General Fonseka and Rajapaksa. Both ran for the 2010 elections which Rajapaksa won. Using his influence and power he sent Fonseka to jail under a number of controversial charges. But since then there have been increasing number of calls world wide for an independent probe set up by UN to investigate the reports of war crimes being committed against the Tamil minority in Sri Lanka by the army in its war on the LTTE. Countries still continue to push the Sri Lankan government into giving permission for the UN probe to be set up which it continues to deny.

Killing field. All those are corpses.

The recent deterioration in Sri Lanka isn't limited to ethnic bias between Sinhalese majority and Tamilian minority. It is because under Rajapaksa the government is actively targeting anyone who not just criticizes the Human Rights in Sri Lanka but anyone who questions or opposes him. In a widely reported incident a journalist by the name Prageeth Eknaligoda was abducted two days before elections in 2010. He was involved in the campaign of Sarath Fonseka who was the main opponent of Rajapaksa. He still continues to be missing. Amnesty has given the contact details of his wife and encourages to send her a note supporting her. Please do so and show your solidarity (http://www.amnestyusa.org/pdfs/SummerSolidarity_SRILANKA.pdf) 

Not surprisingly many of Rajapaksa's family members are now being given various big positions in the country. It's like he is starting to build a foundation by crushing the democracy in which his political successors will his own family and party members. So the only thing we can hope is that Lankans see this and throw this guy out in the next elections. But who knows his powers will be so influential that he may turn the tides and get away with almost every wrong he seems to committing.
