THE SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY BEHIND HIROSHIMA BOMBING

2009-08-05T23:28:00.000-07:00

'Little Boy' the atom bomb dropped in Hiroshima
B-29 Superfortress which dropped the atom bomb in Hiroshima

On August 6,1945 a B-29 bomber plane dropped an atom bomb in Hiroshima ( Japan ).At 8.15am Brigadier Paul Tibbetz of US airforce dropped an atom bomb named ' Little Boy' from Enola Gay ( the nick name of Boeing B-29 Superfortress long range bomber ).Thus the two key technologies which caused the Hiroshima disasters are- the Atom bomb and B-29 bomber plane.Let us discuss them in detail.

First let us talk about the bomb ' Little Boy '.Little Boy was an atomic bomb based on nuclear fission reaction.It was a 9,700 pound uranium bomb and was detonated at a height of 1,900 ft above the city.The nuclear fission reaction starts when a neutron strikes the nucleus of a Uranium atom.This causes the nucleus to divide in to smaller fragments and also releasing large amount of energy and neutrons.This neutrons hits another Uranium nucleus and the reaction continues and this causes a chain reaction and there is a sudden bursts of energy.

The Little Boy was a gun -barrel type atom bomb.This consists of two pieces of Uranium, both less than the critical mass and are placed at either end of the cylinder.When the detonator ignites one piece was fired in to another and together they form the critical mass required to sustain chain reaction.The bomb was long and thin in shape,but over the course of the project , it grew shorter.Thus it was named ' Little Boy '.

The second technology which enabled Hiroshima blast was the B-29 bomber plane.The B-29 bomber, produced by the Boeing Aircraft Company during the world war, was the first long-range heavy bomber employed by the United States airforce. The Boeing B-29 was designed in 1940 as a replacement for the B-17 and B-24. The first one built made its maiden flight on Sept. 21, 1942. This plane had many special features.The main one was the pressurized chamber, which enabled it to work at high altitudes and also attain long range operational capabilities.The pressurized chamber forced it to operate the guns in a remote controlled way.Another speciality was the two bombing bays.These bays were used alternatively to maintain the balance of the aircraft.The aircraft was thus a technological marwel at that time.It was named 'Enola Gay' after the mother of the pilot who dropped atom bomb at Hiroshima.

Let us hope and pray that any of our technologies will not create another Hiroshima like disaster in future.But if such disasters happen now,it will be the end of our world." If there is a third world war, then the war after that would be fought with sticks and stones..".Let us remember this words told by one of our great men.

ARE THERE ANY NUTRIENTS IN A COKE ?

Coconut water- a natural alternative to coke

A person seeing the adventurous persons in the add may say 'see these drinks give you energy'.But it is partly true, mainly because the only ingredient a coke or any carbonated cool drinks contain is sugar.Higher concentration of sugar might give you some energy,but the artificial ingredients in it will cause some harm.Alarming situation arises,when very young kids take these drinks regularly.These drinks contains artificial ingredients and some preservatives and will never contain any natural material. There are many natural replacements for them.But the sad thing is that , even if you wish for natural and traditional drinks they are not easily available.

Other thing is that ,these drinks don't have a global quality.Their quality and purity depends on the local production units.Studies have shown that ,these drinks sold in some countries like India , have higher concentration of chemical substances , even above their permissible levels.It is high time that these major companies start making their products according to a single global standards.It is known that many farmers in India are mixing this drinks in the pesticides,due to its special properties.The parents should decide and become role models and encourage their children to take nutritious natural drinks instead of artificial ones.

WILL THERE BE HUMAN EXTINCTION

2009-07-27T20:49:00.000-07:00

Nuclear explosion

Extinction is a special and time bound process of the nature by which it readjusts itself or try to preserve life on earth by the way of sacrificing some life species.These kind of extinctions take some time to occur and it is done mainly by natural selection or by the theory of survival of the fittest.Other kinds of extinctions are the accidental extinction or sudden extinction.These can be due to sudden natural calamities or by way of epidemic and dangerous diseases.An example for this is the extinction of dinosaurs.But one thing is usually common, that is when one species get wiped out some other species also get extinct , mostly the species that depend on them.

The question of a doomsday or human extinction can possibly be by the second method ie by way of sudden extinction.The most reasonable reason for extinction can begin with humans themselves.Even a war can end human race.A nuclear attack by one country itself can even wipe out entire life on earth.Another possible reasons could be epidemics.Even the ongoing epidemic like the Swine Flu could get fatal if not properly contained.Noe epidemic viruses are even designed by humans as measure to threaten enemy countries.But even an accident can cause such viruses to spread and can wipe out every one.The incidents shown in Hollywood films like 'I am Legend','The Virus','Andromeda Strain' etc can also occur.

Even the least possibility like an alien attack could also end our reign on earth.Natural calamities could become the most possible reason for our extinction.Even a small tsunami killed lakhs of people.The possibility of a comet or meteorite fall can also be not denied.Climate change could become the main reason.

What all these suggests is that, there is no guarantee for human life on earth.In the present condition no scientist could predict how far human race will remain on earth.So the possibility of a Dooms day cannot be denied.But there is no need for us to panic.Only one thing we can do , that is by living as close to the nature as possible.Protect the nature and prevent her from taking any harsh action up on us.Let us protect our nature now and forget about our possibility of extinction.

KARKKIDAKA VAAVU ( a unique custom in KERALA )

2009-07-21T08:44:00.000-07:00

Bali tharppanam ( offering to river )
Vaavu bali ( offering food and chanting mantras )
Sadya ( Traditional Kerala meals )

Karkkidaka vaavu is considered to be a special day for the Hindu people of Kerala.It is the day in which the Keralites pay their tribute,respect and responsibility to their ancestors.In this day people offer rice,flowers,water etc to their dead ancestors.All these is done to ensure that their ancestors get 'moksha'( eternal peace or salvation ).Keralites believe that if this is not done,their ancestors souls would wander among different worlds above earth searching for eternal peace.This is basically a hindu ritual.It is known that Buddhists also perform this ritual.There are many rituals and beliefs attached to this special day.

It is believed that bali tharppanam can be done by a man whose father is dead.On that day people wake up early morning,bath and go mainly to the Shiva temples closer to rivers.The main places where people gather for bali tharppanam are Periyar,Pampa,Aluva,Thiruvallam,Thirunelli etc.Near the bank of rivers people offer rice,flowers,water etc on plantain leaves under the supervision of a 'Thanthri' ( preist).Special mantras are repeated and the offerings along with the plantain leaves are left in the river.Aftr the bali tharppanam people return to their home and have 'sadhya'( special Kerala meals including payasam(a type of sweet drink)).But before eating,a full sadhya arranged on a plantain leaf is given to the crows.The person who has done the bali tharppanam will clapp with the wet hands and invite crows to come and eat the sadhya.Only after the crows have eaten,the family members will eat.The family members beleve that thier ancestors soul come to eat in the form of 'bali kakka' (fully black crow[ not the common crow] ).

There are many beliefs related to this custom.They are,

The main belief is that , for the dead people one month is one day.Thus for them one year will be twelve days.So according to Hindu belief,those who live in this world should provide food for their dead ancestors after twelve days(for us one year).Thus every year on this day we provide food to our dead ancestors,so that they can attain moksha.

Another belief is that after the death ,the souls will be taken to 'Pithruloka' (world of dead souls), which lies in between our world and many other worlds like 'Devaloka' (heaven),Hell etc.Thus from the Pithruloka the souls can be reborn or wander about in other worlds for moksha.Thus by providing food,we can avoid their agony of rebirth and give their souls a chance to rest in peace forever near the God.

Another belief is that the souls can eat only through water.This is the main reason to offer their foods in rivers.According to Hindu belief ,the human bodies are made of earth,water,air,fire etc.

What ever be the beliefs,I think remembering our dead ancestors only bring good to our struggling souls on the earth.Thus this event represents a glimpse of the great culture of Kerala.This also reminds us that,through culture,belief and religion man can be made to do good things , which he may otherwise forget in his fast life.

GLOBAL WARMING A GREAT THREAT

2008-10-16T18:44:00.000-07:00

Global warming refers to the recent increase in the average temperature of the atmosphere near the Earth's surface caused by emissions of greenhouse gases from human activities. It may also be used to refer to other episodes of warming in Earth's history.

"Climate change" is defined as a significant change in measures of climate (such as temperature, precipitation, or wind) lasting for an extended period (decades or longer) from whatever cause. The United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) uses "climate change" for human-induced changes, and "climate variability" for natural changes.

The detailed causes of the recent warming remain an active field of research, but the scientific consensus is that the increase in atmospheric greenhouse gases due to human activity caused most of the warming observed since the start of the industrial era. This attribution is clearest for the most recent 50 years, for which the most detailed data are available.The biggest cause for global warming remains to be the green house effect.
The greenhouse effect was theorized by Joseph Fourier in 1824 and was first investigated quantitatively by Svante Arrhenius in 1896. It is the process by which absorption and emission of infrared radiation by atmospheric gases warm a planet's lower atmosphere and surface
The green house effect is caused by pollution causing gasses like CO2,C0,Methane and other Chlorofluro carbons.Recent increases in atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2). The monthly CO2 measurements display small seasonal oscillations n an overall yearly uptrend; each year's maximum is reached during the Northern Hemisphere's late spring, and declines during the Northern Hemisphere growing season as plants remove some CO2 from the atmosphere.
Recent increases in atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2). The monthly CO2 measurements display small seasonal oscillations in an overall yearly uptrend; each year's maximum is reached during the Northern Hemisphere's late spring, and declines during the Northern Hemisphere growing season as plants remove some CO2 from the atmosphere.
Human activity since the industrial revolution has increased the concentration of various greenhouse gases, leading to increased radiative forcing from CO2, methane, tropospheric ozone, CFCs and nitrous oxide. Molecule for molecule, methane is a more effective greenhouse gas than carbon dioxide, but its concentration is much smaller so that its total radiative forcing is only about a fourth of that from carbon dioxide. Some other naturally occurring gases contribute small fractions of the greenhouse effect; one of these, nitrous oxide (N2O), is increasing in concentration owing to human activity such as agriculture. The atmospheric concentrations of CO2 and CH4 have increased by 31% and 149% respectively since the beginning of the industrial revolution in the mid-1700s. These levels are considerably higher than at any time during the last 650,000 years, the period for which reliable data has been extracted from ice cores. From less direct geological evidence it is believed that CO2 values this high were last attained 20 million years ago. Fossil fuel burning has produced approximately three-quarters of the increase in CO2 from human activity over the past 20 years. Most of the rest is due to land-use change, in particular deforestation.The present atmospheric concentration of CO2 is about 385 parts per million (ppm) by volume.Inasmuch as the greenhouse effect is due to human activity, it is a forcing effect that is separate from forcing due to climate variability.
Another major cause for global warming is solar variations.Some other hypotheses departing from the consensus view have been suggested to explain most of the temperature increase. One such hypothesis proposes that warming may be the result of variations in solar activity.

A paper by Peter Stott and other researchers suggests that climate models overestimate the relative effect of greenhouse gases compared to solar forcing; they also suggest that the cooling effects of volcanic dust and sulfate aerosols have been underestimated.They nevertheless conclude that even with an enhanced climate sensitivity to solar forcing, most of the warming since the mid-20th century is likely attributable to the increases in greenhouse gases.A different hypothesis is that variations in solar output, possibly amplified by cloud seeding via galactic cosmic rays, may have contributed to recent warming. It suggests magnetic activity of the sun is a crucial factor which deflects cosmic rays that may influence the generation of cloud condensation nuclei and thereby affect the climate.

Other causes are due to forcing and feed back.The forces that drive climate change are said to be operating in a system called forcing. None of the effects of forcing are instantaneous. The thermal inertia of the Earth's oceans and slow responses of other indirect effects mean that the Earth's current climate is not in equilibrium with the forcing imposed. Climate commitment studies indicate that even if greenhouse gases were stabilized at 2000 levels, a further warming of about 0.5 °C (0.9 °F) would still occur.

Climate variability

The Earth's climate changes in response to external forcing, including greenhouse gases, variations in its orbit around the Sun (orbital forcing), changes in solar luminosity, and volcanic eruptions,; all examples of the earth's own variation in temperatures, for which the UNFCCC uses the term climate variability.

Feedback

When a warming trend results in effects that induce further warming, it is known as a positive feedback; when the effects induce cooling, the process is referred to as a negative feedback. The primary positive feedback involves water vapor. The primary negative feedback is temperature-radiation: as the temperature of a body increases, the emitted radiation increases with the fourth power of its absolute temperature. This provides a powerful negative feedback which stabilizes the climate system over time.Feedback effects due to clouds are an area of ongoing research. Seen from below, clouds emit infrared radiation back to the surface, and so exert a warming effect; seen from above, clouds reflect sunlight and emit infrared radiation to space, and so exert a cooling effect. Whether the net effect is warming or cooling depends on details such as the type and altitude of the cloud. These details are difficult to represent in climate models, in part because clouds are much smaller than the spacing between points on the computational grids of climate models.Another important feedback process is ice-albedo feedback. When global temperatures increase, ice near the poles melts at an increasing rate. As the ice melts, land or open water takes its place. Both land and open water are on average less reflective than ice, and thus absorb more solar radiation. This causes more warming, which in turn causes more melting, and this cycle continues.

Effects of global warming

Although it is difficult to connect specific weather events to global warming, an increase in global temperatures may in turn cause broader changes, including glacial retreat, Arctic shrinkage, and worldwide sea level rise. Changes in the amount and pattern of precipitation may result in flooding and drought. There may also be changes in the frequency and intensity of extreme weather events. Other effects may include changes in agricultural yields, addition of new trade routes, reduced summer streamflows, species extinctions, and increases in the range of disease vectors.

Some effects on both the natural environment and human life are, at least in part, already being attributed to global warming. A 2001 report by the IPCC suggests that glacier retreat, ice shelf disruption such as that of the Larsen Ice Shelf, sea level rise, changes in rainfall patterns, and increased intensity and frequency of extreme weather events, are being attributed in part to global warming. While changes are expected for overall patterns, intensity, and frequencies, it is difficult to attribute specific events to global warming. Other expected effects include water scarcity in some regions and increased precipitation in others, changes in mountain snow pack, and adverse health effects from warmer temperatures.Global warming is expected to increase the potential geographic range and virulence of tropical diseases.Climate change could cause a major increase in insect-borne diseases such as malaria throughout Europe, North America and North Asia.

Adaptation to global warming, Mitigation of global warming, and Kyoto Protocol

The broad agreement among climate scientists that global temperatures will continue to increase has led some nations, states, corporations and individuals to implement actions to try to curtail global warming or adjust to it. Many environmental groups encourage individual action against global warming, often by the consumer, but also by community and regional organizations. Others have suggested a quota on worldwide fossil fuel production, citing a direct link between fossil fuel production and CO2 emissions.

There has also been business action on climate change, including efforts at increased energy efficiency and limited moves towards use of alternative fuels. One recently developed concept is that of greenhouse gas emissions trading through which companies, in conjunction with government, agree to cap their emissions or to purchase credits from those below their allowances.

The world's primary international agreement on combating global warming is the Kyoto Protocol, an amendment to the UNFCCC negotiated in 1997. The Protocol now covers more than 160 countries globally and over 55 percent of global greenhouse gas emissions. Only the United States and Kazakhstan have not ratified the treaty, with the United States historically being the world's largest emitter of greenhouse gas. This treaty expires in 2012, and international talks began in May 2007 on a future treaty to succeed the current one. China and India, though exempt from its provisions as developing countries, have ratified the Kyoto Protocol. China may have passed the U.S. in total annual greenhouse gas emissions according to some recent studies. Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao has called on the nation to redouble its efforts to tackle pollution and global warming.

Global warming controversy, Politics of global warming, and Economics of global warming

Increased publicity of the scientific findings surrounding global warming has resulted in political and economic debate.Poor regions, particularly Africa, appear at greatest risk from the projected effects of global warming, while their emissions have been small compared to the developed world. At the same time, developing country exemptions from provisions of the Kyoto Protocol have been criticized by the United States and Australia, and used as part of a rationale for continued non-ratification by the U.S. In the Western world, the idea of human influence on climate has gained wider public acceptance in Europe than in the United States.

The issue of climate change has sparked debate weighing the benefits of limiting industrial emissions of greenhouse gases against the costs that such changes would entail. There has been discussion in several countries about the cost and benefits of adopting alternative energy sources in order to reduce carbon emissions. Organizations and companies such as the Competitive Enterprise Institute and Exxon Mobil have emphasized more conservative climate change scenarios while highlighting the potential economic cost of stricter controls. Likewise, various environmental lobbies and a number of public figures have launched campaigns to emphasize the potential risks of climate change and promote the implementation of stricter controls. Some fossil fuel companies have scaled back their efforts in recent years, or called for policies to reduce global warming

Climatic issues related to global warming

Ocean acidification, global dimming, and ozone depletion

A variety of issues are often raised in relation to global warming. One is ocean acidification. Increased atmospheric CO2 increases the amount of CO2 dissolved in the oceans. CO2 dissolved in the ocean reacts with water to form carbonic acid, resulting in acidification. Ocean surface pH is estimated to have decreased from 8.25 near the beginning of the industrial era to 8.14 by 2004, and is projected to decrease by a further 0.14 to 0.5 units by 2100 as the ocean absorbs more CO2.Since organisms and ecosystems are adapted to a narrow range of pH, this raises extinction concerns, directly driven by increased atmospheric CO2, that could disrupt food webs and impact human societies that depend on marine ecosystem services.

Global dimming, the gradual reduction in the amount of global direct irradiance at the Earth's surface, may have partially mitigated global warming in the late 20th century. From 1960 to 1990 human-caused aerosols likely precipitated this effect. Scientists have stated with 66–90% confidence that the effects of human-caused aerosols, along with volcanic activity, have offset some of the global warming, and that greenhouse gases would have resulted in more warming than observed if not for these dimming agents.

Ozone Depletion, the steady decline in the total amount of ozone in Earth's stratosphere, is frequently cited in relation to global warming. Although there are areas of linkage, the relationship between the two is not strong.

My views

In my view all the problems related to environment is due to human greed ,which forces him to over utilize the resources of our earth to gain individual profits.Major countries should take it as a challenge and save our earth from likely atrocities due to climatic changes.

Mahatma Gandhi said" there is enough resources for every ones need,but it does not have enough resources to fulfill man's greed".I think we should remember this words before over exploiting our earth.Let us save our planet for our future generations.

The young men and women of our world should raise their voice against pollution,deforestation,destruction of wild life etc and act accordingly so that our earth can be saved.

Please post your comments about global warming and protection of nature so that your words can inspire others also.

ABOUT GLOBAL WARMING

2008-10-15T09:05:00.001-07:00

Hi, dear readers ,I will be writing an article about global warming and its menace.So keep reading my blog.I will try to bring out a deep discussion about this topic.

THE ROLE OF YOUNGSTERS IN PROTECTING OUR NATURE AND WILDLIFE

2008-10-06T08:23:00.000-07:00

I was fortunate to visit many protected areas and sanctuaries in Kerala like Thekkady,Wayanad,Neyyar etc. These places have rich biodiversity and houses many exotic life forms.I have always wondered at the skill of nature who have devised such diverse life forms.Our hearts would be filled with joy on seeing such greenery and diverse sounds of animals.The forests of kerala itself is very diverse. It consists of tropical evergreen forests,moist deciduous forests,grass lands,shola forests etc.Due to this diversity of forests ,the flora and fauna are also very diverse.The Silent Valley sanctuary is one of the biodiversity hot spots.But the sad thing is that forest cover is decreasing.Here comes the role of youth and students.

The reason why I specially address, the role of youth is because, they are the future of a country.It is difficult to change the mind of our elders and grand parents,because their thoughts and ideas are solidified in the mould of olden days.But the mind of youngsters are like clay, which could be molded very easily.The governments and schools should give adequate awareness and knowledge about nature and wild life to all children.This will automatically impart a sense of love and affection in the minds of the children.This will also make the children accept the fact that all the animals and plants are also our friends and they share the same ecosystem as we do.Greater awareness should be given in the text books about the hazards of forest destruction and elimination of wild life.This will evoke a sense of urgency and duty in their minds.
In India there are a lot of youth organizations like NSS,NCC etc.This organizations can play a vital roll in environmental protection.I am a member of NSS and our College unit itself has planted many trees in the past few years.The dedication,discipline and service mindedness of NSS volunteers could be utilized in saving our environment.Also the nature clubs of the schools and colleges can do a greater roll in protecting our environment.

The major problem in any protection program is peoples participation.Without the participation of the local people , the protection programs may not be complete.An initiative taken by Kerala government in this direction is Eco-Tourism.Through eco-tourism projects people become the direct participant in the protection programs and also they can generate economy through protection.There are incidences in Kerala where the poachers, themselves turned to protectors.Now they work as forest guards and guides for tourists and are proudly earning their income.This example can be followed in many countries.

All the climatic and environmental problems arise from the destruction of nature.Saving the nature is like saving our future.Save nature and save earth.If we don't protect our nature now, our future generations will curse us or we may even deny their fundamental right by taking the life away from them.So I request all the fellow beings of the earth to save our nature.At least try to save the environment around you as small drops make an ocean.

GREEN EARTH HEALTHIER EARTH

THE NEED FOR PULLUTION CONTROL TO SAVE OUR ENVIRONMENT AND WILD LIFE

2008-09-22T23:58:00.000-07:00

During the busy shedule of our daily life nobody think of our environment.Every time we pollute our earth, we are not aware that we are not only reducing our life but also we are reducing the life of our mother earth.We cause pollution and we are also reducing the sources of controling pollution, ie we cut trees and reduce the forest cover which is the major oxygen supplier of the world.We not only cause pollution but also encourage others to cause pollution.

Now pollution occurs in different forms.The major pollutions are air pollution,water pollution,soil pollution,noise pollution,pollution of seas and oceans etc.The major pollution like air pollution is caused by automobiles.The exhaust from the automobiles contain harmful gases like Carbon di oxide,Carbon monoxide,Nitrogen oxides etc.Of these gases carbon monoxide is harmful to health and carbon di oxide is one of the major causes of Global warming.The Chloro Fluro Carbons are the major cause for Ozone holes.The ozone hole causes increase in Ultra Violet rays and this may cause cancer and other diseases in plants and animals.

The water pollution is causing large scale destruction of aquatic flora and fauna and destroys large ecosystems.The soil pollution is mainly by pesticides and other chemical fertilizers.This not only affects large organisms but also destroys the micro organisms which are responsible for the fertility of the soil.This will affect the whole life on the earth.

Thus the pollution of all forms destroys the valuable ecosystems and wildlife which may not be regained once destroyed.Wildlife and forests are the life line of the earth,without them our existence may not be possible.Each animal varrying from microbes to blue whale, and all the flora are part of a most delicate link of nature.Once any of the element in the link is broken the equillibrium of the whole earth will fail.When that happens life on earth will end for ever.

My request to all the fellow beings of the earth is that we should stop pollution as far as possible,and conserve our most valuable wild life and forest.Let them also live in harmony with us.Mahathma Gandhi said"There is everything in earth for every ones need,but there is not enough resources for every ones greed".So lets take a pledge that we will reduce pollution and save nature ,so that our future generations also enjoy the same health and living conditions as we enjoy them.Stop pollution and save earth.

WRIGHT BROTHERS AND THE INVENTION OF AIRPLANE

2008-09-21T10:43:00.000-07:00

The Wright brothers were the Americans who made the world's first successful air plane flight and made the first controlled,powered and sustained heavier than air human flight on 17 December 1903.The Wright brothers were Orville(August19,1871-January 30,1948) and Wilbur(April 16,1867-May 30,1912).In 1905 they developed their plane to the first practical fixed wing aircraft.They were the first to invent aircraft controls and their most relevent invention was the three axis control system.
They even worked to make bicycles,motors and other machines.Their major belief was that unstable machines like planes can be controlled by practice and experience,like bicycles.Only five bicycles built by Wright brothers are known to exist.The bicycle St. Clair was built in 1898 was less expensive than others.The Wright brothers claim for inventors of airplane has been under much controversy and there are many counter claims by other aviators.But Wright brothers contribution to the aviation field will never be forgotten.

CHARLES DARWIN AND THE ORIGIN OF SPECIES

2008-09-20T05:32:00.000-07:00

Charles Robert Darwin was born in 1809 in a wealthy family.He was dropped out of medical school in 1825 and he entered University of Cambridge in preperation for becomming a clergy man of the church of England.It was here that two persons Adam Sedwick and John Stevens Henslow taught him to be a keen observer of natural phenomenon and collector of specimens.

Darwin worked as a naturalist abroad HMS Beagle and this gave him the opportunity to observe different continents and islands along the way.It was the time when most geologists stuck to the theory of catastrophies and they believe there is a succession of creation of plants and animals and they are destroyed by catastrophies.According to this theory Noah's flood wiped away all life forms except those in the ark and the rest were visible only in the form of fossils.According to this view species were individually created and are immutable, ie unchangeable for all time.

Darwins observations made of the flora and fauna of South America formed the basis of his work on animal variation theory of natural selection and laws of variation.Thus The Origin of Species is one of the most influential book which created a lot of fuzz among the scientists and the common man.The book 'On The Origin Of Species by Means of Natural Selection' was published on 24 november 1858.Now the evolutionary theory has undergone many refinements.The most important thing is that the origin of species has come out with a new field of natural science.Darwins contribution will never be forgotten .The legendary naturalist passed away on 1882.

NATURE ART AND TECHNOLOGY

2008-09-18T19:24:00.000-07:00

Art and technology are interwoven and interrelated to nature so that any one among them cannot stand alone without the influenze of another and also both of them are influenzed ,nurtured and inspired by nature.But now both art and technology not only takes inspiration from nature but also bully to change the face of nature and make it look like a miserable and helpless creature

Once art and technology were almost flying in the same plane and in parrallel direction helping each others existence. The proof for such a coexistence is given by great artists like Michelangelo and Davinchi who invented a lot of scientific gadgets through their drawings.They thought scientific innovations and researches are part of their job.Even now science and technology gets inspiration from arts.A great example is one of the mans superb innovation robot,which was first introduced by a writer and he even devised laws for them.At that time it was a fiction,now it is a reality.Even films ,paintings,novels,etc influenze scientists.The major reason for this coexistence comes from the fact that wider and wild ideas comes from the arts and the power to realize them rests with the scientists.In fact both the scientist and an artist are the same,as both designs and presents their ideas only in the beautiful way.
The greatest artist and innovator is the nature itself .Nature changes itself,draws different pictures,creates, destroys and also the most powerfull among the three.Even the most sophisticated designs like the planes are highly influenzed by birds.The planes of different variety have almost the similar body designs as that of the birds.In my view as humans we do not have the power of creating any thing,ie there are no artificial(synthetic) things.What man actually does is copy,rearrange,remodel and mix the gifts of nature
