Welcome note.

Welcome to my corner of the internet where I talk about Science and technology. Consider this to be a Welcome Note or even a sort of prologue as I take you on the journey of what Science means to me and why I created this website.

Firstly, I am super pumped to bring together a space of video and visual communication that promotes a healthy and easy understanding of Science. This is a home project of mine that is close to the heart. I’ve loved science since I was a school-goer and fortunately till I became a Scholar. I say fortunately because the journey in between these two stages of my life was truly enjoyable to say the least. The last decade has thought me a tremendous amount of knowledge that makes me appreciate the world that we live in.

Let me take you into my brain a little more? Keeping aside the complicated mathematical equations and tongue torturing biological names, Science is a space for curiosity, imagination and innovation – Something textbooks cannot readily teach us. The fasciation for Science for me starts out in the things that are “little” and “big”. In things that are relative like “fast” and “slow”. Have you ever noticed show things in our body look very much like the things in the Universe?

The creative overthinker:

This almost begs the mind-blowing question whether we are all part of a more intelligent gigantic being. Maybe our universe is some unimaginably large person’s brain cell? Or going in reverse gear, maybe our tiny neurons are some creature’s always-expanding universe. This is absolutely possible as our technology is not developed to see into such a small view. The small particle we can currently “see” (read analyzed with data) is a part of an atom called “quark”. If I can make a (possibly error prone) estimated comparison based on the neuron being a galaxy, a quark would probably be a size comparable to the size of earth. There is tremendous possibility that we discover more particles (or sub-quark entities) as we continue to push the limits of what we can “see”.

The crazy optimist:

Maybe one day we might even discover beings or residents (just like us) in these sub-quark-like particles. Of course it is important to note here that Time (as a concept) plays a very interesting and challenging role, a subject I hope to write about in the future. This can be much better understood if we take it to be synonymous to the images we take as we look into the universe and see not the present but the images of its past.

The curious controversy:

These similarities not only exist vertically on the size of things but also in more contemporary levels. For example, have you ever wondered why a snail’s shell looks like the eye of a hurricane? Or maybe how earthquakes fissures on the earth resemble the veins in our skin? What about the way lighting looks matches the way the branches on the trees grow?

The universe and its design is a mystery that can only become imaginable and maybe (?) understood with the help of curiosity and research.

said by Me while eating my favourite ice cream, and I truly meant it.

Whatever the discussion may be, similarities and correlations can be found throughout the Universe. Our lives are filled with intriguing examples of Nature’s intelligence. The Universe is conscious and responsive to all things that impact it. But how do we grasp a conscious being without a physical brain? Science provides the logic for this. “Laws of equations” and “mathematical derivations” are the blueprint of this grand scheme of things. They are not bullet proof either. There are numerous instances in the past where the human understanding of the world has failed, questioned and reframed to be better. Can we really forget that Galileo was punished and put under house arrest by the Holy Office for almost a decade (till he died) for believing in Heliocentrism, a concept that says that the earth revolves around the sun?

We are now in a different time. A time that encourages us to think different and do creative science. In world of self-driving cars and 3D printed functional eye-balls for the blind, we are encouraged to “disrupt”. Disruption is honestly music to my ears. A valuable disruption is very similar to a brilliant science lab experiment – it starts out with a simple idea with inspiration to address a problem. I am constantly impressed by the amount of new information that we learn every single day around the planet. But this information is restricted and can many a times be available to only highly read scholars with access to journals.

I hope to curate content on this website that will inspire, engage and create awareness for the general audience. This article-loaded herald of sorts will be attractive and informative. It will be created in a way that is easy to understand and backed with references that can direct the reader for further reading. I aim to disseminate science to all types of audiences.

The website will host a diverse range of visual and written content which I hope will be your next daily dose of Science news.
