Carl Sagan's Pale Blue Dot

That's here.
That's home.
That's us.

On it, everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives.

The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every superstar, every supreme leader, every saint and sinner in the history of our species, lived there on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam.

The Earth is a very small stage in a vast, cosmic arena.

Think of the rivers of blood spilled by all those generals and emperors so that in glory and triumph they could become the momentary masters of a fraction of a dot.

Think of the endless cruelties visited by the inhabitants of one corner of this pixel on the scarcely distinguishable inhabitants of some other corner.

How frequent their misunderstandings, how eager they are to kill one another, how fervent their hatreds.

Our posturing’s, our imagined self-importance, the delusion that we have some privileged position in the universe, are challenged by this point of pale light.

Our planet is a lonely speck in the great, enveloping cosmic dark.

In our obscurity, in all this vastness, there is no hint that help will come from elsewhere to save us from ourselves.

The Earth is the only world known so far to harbor life.

There is nowhere else, at least in the near future, to which our species could migrate.

Visit, yes.
Settle, not yet.

Like it or not, for the moment, the Earth is where we make our stand.

It has been said that astronomy is a humbling and character-building experience.

There is perhaps no better demonstration of the folly of human conceits than this distant image
.
To me, it underscores our responsibility to deal more kindly with one another and to preserve and cherish the pale blue dot, the only home we've ever known.

By Carl Sagan 

The Cosmic Address

Before we learn about Cosmic Address, It’s important to know what cosmos is. Cosmos in easy word is everything that there is or there ever will be in existence. For instance let’s talk about postal address, the way we define our postal address is by layers / levels through which we could be located. House Number à Street Name/Number à Locality/Neighbourhood à City à State/Province à Country, and that’s where we end our postal address at country we don’t go writing our continent or Earth/Globe. But when we speak of cosmic address the scale turns to new heights where our house number becomes the planet Earth and the Earth/Globe becomes Cosmos.

♦ Earth (House Number) 

The Planet where we or anybody we've ever know live. Home to all our continents & countries, civilizations & governments.

♦ Solar System (Street Address) 

The system that house our planet surrounded by celestial bodies. The Sun is at its near centre and all planets revolve around it

♦ Milky Way Galaxy (Locality / Neighborhood)

The galaxy that house a group of such solar systems. With what is believed to be a dark matter at the centre of it which is responsible for gravitational activity to keep the systems bound in a motion.

♦ Local Group (City) 

The group of such galaxies is called “The local Group”. Imagine localities in a city it's just like that but on a much much higher scale.

♦ Virgo Super Cluster (State / Province) 

These local groups combine and form a Virgo Super Cluster. Every cluster has a lot of local groups which has many galaxies who have enormous amount of solar systems with uncountable Suns Planets and Stars.

♦ Observable Universe (Country) 

This is the last line know to us till now and so we call it observable universe. This is the collection of all super cluster that we currently know of.


♦ Cosmos 

We are yet to discover what in our term could be called continent and globe and who know there might even be a lot more layers. So, we call it all Cosmos and this is our Cosmic Address.
Comparing Microorganism to Human would be a rational comparison on relative scale to understand the comparison of Planet Earth to Cosmos.

What Is Science....!!!!!


What Is Science? Is it just a word that describes all the text that a book carry? Maybe it's a stuff what all those "so called" great scientists have ever written about? oh wait! it's the pure waste of life cause millions of those scientists devoted their life and accomplished nothing, all they got was failures and history doesn't even remember them.

"Give kid a book, and you change the world. In a way, even the universe." 

 Gandhi once said "Literacy is not the end of education nor even the beginning." That's what science is,it's education. Educating an year old kid on how to fight gravity and stand, how to use friction to walk and run,how to vibrate your vocal cord and make a sensible sound that a human can understand. Science is a religion without God or Messenger or saints or sinner. Science is freedom, freedom to challenge authority,freedom to make new rules instead of following older. Science is everything there is , ever was and ever will be. who we are humans or living beings or almighty ruler of the planet or even the universe ? we are nothing but Star Dust.

It is true many millions have died for science and we don't even know their names but none of them ever wasted their life. They all had their part and contribution to the society we live in. Einstein wouldn't have been who he was if it wasn't for the scientist before him. Science is too big for a single man to pursue on his own. Every so called FAILED scientist didn't died in vain, they told the world "we already walked this path and came back empty handed.Don't go this way find you will not find anything search another approach". Imagine would Einstein would have done all those thing he did if he had to do it from scratch one ? Every single failure revealed a truth a theory. Those failed scientist didn't failed once they just didn't had enough life to see their work through. 

The best thing about science is that you don't have to perfect, you don't have to have all the answers, you can stand on a ground where you can proudly say that its beyond my understanding. All science listens and bows to is reason. Science is one of the rarest and yet cheapest commodity that gives us certainty of things in this uncertain world.There was a time when great minds of world believed that the smallest particle is atom until came along a new theory of subatomic particles. Hell ! there was a time when people believed that sun revolves around the earth. Even today we speak of SUN RISING do we not? But with time and knowledge everything changed or to be more accurate everything evolved.

Science is a path of mysteries one clue leading up to another, it's the quest the thirst to find the reasons and explanations of how things work, how they behave what could the future effects of the actions,how we came to be where we are is their another world? if it is how similar would it be to ours where could be in this cosmos ? 


Science is script of questions that are yet to be answered, at the same time it is  the explanations of the things known to us.
Once you get the idea of science  you'll know that i could go on writing thousands of page and yet i wouldn't be able to describe all it's aspects

I remember few lines from couple of Shows , see if it makes sense ...
Knowledge is power, and power resides where we believe, it's like a game of shadows and even a small man can cast a very big shadow. And so it's said 
" Give Kid A Book And You Change The World "

Apple's Best Ever Invention Isn't iPhone Or iPad....!!

The Only History That Is Worth A Tinker's Damn Is The History You Make Today.  ~ Henry Ford


On January 9, 2007 . Steve Jobs launches the first ever Apple's Device , whose main aim was to converge three basic functions of any electronic device namely Music Player,Phone and Internet Browsing. It was named iPhone and ever since iPhone has been one of the best in the field of smartphones,But when I say Apple's Best Ever Invention it's not iPhone I'm talking about or Macintosh(1984) or Apple 1(1977) . I Remember Watching on youtube The Keynote Address held at the Macworld Conference & Expo, There Steve Jobs quoted Alan Kay "People Who Are Really Serious About Software Should Make Their Own Hardware".  With the launch of iPhone Apple made a major breakthrough in the Electronic World, but as we know Every hardware needs a software so as to make it user friendly , and so Apple introduced its own "OS X (now Known To Us As IOS)" . IOS which form my point of view is the best ever invention of Apple.





OS X the very first version of IOS  was introduced with First Gen Iphone,ever since their had been 8 versions of IOS till date. OS X had a lot of features that were never seen before working so efficiently on a mobile device.Feature such as Visual Voicemail,Multi-Touch Gestures, HTML Email,Threaded Text Messaging & Youtube.




Visual Voicemail:

This feature was first introduced effectively in First Gen Iphone.This feature allowed user to randomly access a voicemail from the list of messages to playback, it may include a transcript of message. On August 2011 Apple was granted confirmation of patent on "Voicemail Manager For portable Multifunctional Device" .

Multi Touch Gestures:

Multi Touch is the ability of a surface to recognize the presence of more than one points of contact with the surface, Gestures are the action/path followed by the pointing device on any particular surface. So Multi-touch Gestures is basically an ability to direct an action of a device through its surface by the use of one or more pointing devices.

HTML Email:

HyperText Markup Language Email is the type that allows formatting of text,insertion of art.Formatting tools such as Bold Italic Underline etc. and art such as image or any other visual effect.

Threaded Text Messaging:

This is one the most adopted feature in field of communication. It's Conversation-like display of messages between the sender and receiver.

Youtube:

Apple devices before Iphone didn't had capability to play videos via web,Youtube was introduced in First Gen Iphone so as to allow users to view videos on Youtube.


Over the years IOS has evolved drastically and it isn't just one of the best but also known as the most addictive user interface,apparently people who once get the hang of IOS doesn't like operating any other OS. The latest version of iOS is iOS 8. With every new version of IOS new features were added,bugs/issues were resolved, interface was made better and attractive and the OS was made faster.

Everything has it's pros and cons so does Apple's iOS. It's brilliant, amazingly designed, effectively fast responsive, user friendly but it restricts you in a lot of ways too. iOS doesn't allow file sharing that easily which in this era is one of the most important feature needed to connect to people, there are third party applications like Xender that lets you transfer media from iPhone but it would've been nicer if iOS had actually made sharing easy. Some Apple devices are only compatible to  limited formats of media like iTunes and do not support any other format which is a bit frustrating sometimes when a user has to convert every single media file so as to be able to play it on device. Even with these two major drawbacks iOS has made iPhones and iPad  major devices in the field of smartphone.


Imagine Your Iphone or iPad without iOS......you can't..right? So isn't it a fact that IOS made the devices(Iphone & iPad) what they are today?

Project Ara...Would it be the last generation of smartphone??



In this age of information, electronics has changed the lifestyles of people around the globe, whether the change is for better or for worse could be a whole other reason for argument. From Desktops that took up a whole corner of a room to smartphone that sits in your pocket, the computing has seen a major revolutionary changes which evolved electronics  from time to time. Microsoft, Apple And Google had been the key players in the field of information. The Google's new PROJECT ARA is believed to create new levels of high. If launched perfectly this project could lead to massive change of course in the market of smartphone. This project seems to have the juice to run all the other smartphone companies out of business. With the recent accusation of MOTOROLA at 12.5 billion dollars and selling MOTOROLA to LENOVO in the end 2014 at  2.5 billion dollars Google made it pretty clear that it has kept all MOTOROLA'S patents, Patents that according to google worth for about 10 billion dollars. Motorola has been the pioneer in bringing dreams to reality, discoveries and inventions are made daily but Motorola has always found a way to practically implement those inventions and making them economically accessible so as to launch products successfully in market. Motorola launched first ever touchscreen phone in '95 so it is safe to say that Motorola did packed a punch when came to patents. Motorola was the one to announce Project Ara In 2013 and since then every company has been trying to get a piece of action in Project Ara so as to survive in the future of smartphone.


Project Ara is Concept to develop modular smartphones that could allow user to handpick the desired configuration for phone rather than to compromise on some levels. Such as some people don't feel the need to have camera in phone so they wouldn't have to pay for camera they can save money. More importantly Project Ara allows to upgrade your phone without having to buy a whole new piece, all you had to do is just buy a required chipset. After a year's use if you feel the need to upgrade RAM of Processor or anything you will not have to buy a whole new mobile all you have to spend on is what you want. Project Ara is believed to be in effect as of end of 2015. Prototypes has been successfully running since end of  2014.
If Project Ara comes out as good as it has been believed to it will change everything, now smartphone could be once in lifetime phone. It could be so affordable that everyone could buy it as per there need. You can buy a simple phone and modify it by high end components or just keep it simple. The choices of hardware will now be in your control. So is it safe to say that Project Ara could be the last Generation of Smartphone or I guess someday in future there could be a better project that might offer new capabilities to the consumer. Still Project Ara will be time stamp and the timeline of smartphone will be divided  in "Before Ara" and "After Ara".
