Thought Leadership

The 4.5 Billion Year Old Stranger  The journey of 200 million miles. The journey to meet a stranger whose age is 4.5 billion years old. The same age as our Earth Imagine waiting for 3 years for the messenger to come & deliver the message from the stranger. Envisage the efforts that will go in to decipher the encrypted message & understand the mind of the old stranger  And the message is nothing but 60 grams of dust, dirt & few pebbles  Then you realise the fact that the messenger after delivering the message will go into the oblivion never to be seen again  Apparently it would look simply outrageous to undertake such a long long journey for just dirts, dusts & pebbles  Would you plan for such an arduous journey ever ? NASA Osirex-Rex & Bennu  Yes. I am talking about the expedition of NASA’s Osiris-Rex to asteroid Bennu to find the truth about our universe. The truth that would also reveal us about our own human origins  Some...

The biggest Thought Leadership Honour  The Nobel Prize (NP) is the biggest recognition of Thought Leadership in that field.  The NP for Physics 2020 has been awarded to 3 people of whom Roger Penrose is the main recipient. The NP Committee states that Penrose has been awarded for the “discovery that black hole formation is a robust prediction of the general theory of relativity” What does it mean? This statement actually means that “Leadership of Ideas” are like the chains. The longer the chain the wider it has the reach It hints at the proposition that “Nothing is Original Per se”. Everything is built one upon the other structures of Ideas Penrose discovery affirms Einstein’s Theory of Relativity & links it to many other theories of Astro-Physics Penrose discovery is not in isolation but in conjugation to already existing Ideas Thoughts are built upon connected thoughts. Ideas are conceived upon existing ideas. Discoveries are made upon discovered realities Civilizations ...

The Huge Debate  There was a huge debate regarding Quantum Physcis (QP) in the 1920's. The scientific world was split into two camp One favoured Neil Bohr's Idea on QP. The other was with Einstein refuting Bohr's idea Every confrence, meeting, journals etc ultimately became a showdown between the two camps Einsten, Podolsky & Rosen (EPR) wrote the most scatching critique of Bohr's idea of QP & challenged him to respond to it The Response  Bohr responded to the EPR paper. The whole Physics world read both the EPR & its response. It was the most widely read literature of that time But something went wrong in both the papers Einstein lamented that the Physics world did not understand what he asked in the EPR He wanted to raise certain questions but the world did not understand the queries he raised in their paper  Bohr admitted that he could not communicate fully in writing what he wanted to say. Bohr said he understood what he wanted to say but could not fully...

Our Conception of Success may be Outdated  The way we look at success is outdated. We are searching for it through tactics, strategy and concepts in proportions which is not even required We pass through so many little milestones of happiness even without realizing it each day & night. For the obsession of the so called big eventful & glorious success we are blind to the success which are intertwined with our lifestyles Not all dreams require you to sleep  Not all dreams require you to sleep to visualize it. Not every time a sun lit day is essential to feel the brightness of the light. Sometimes the night is brighter than the days with the stars We need to understand that everything is in motion. Even the galaxy & the cosmos. Nothing is fixed & permanent. All creations are designed to be in a journey. So are we Nothing shines permanently, not even the brightest of the stars. It too will collapse, burn & fade away into the Black Hole one day The journey of l...

The great debate in Quantum Physics During the first part of the 20th century there was a huge debate surrounding the field of Quantum Physics QP. The most influential group was led by Neils Bohr & his students. Their interpretation of QP was called the “ Copenhagen Interpretations” CI Einstein & his group never accepted the Copenhagen Interpretations. He never agreed with the explanations provided by Bohr & Heisenberg. Einstein was so frustrated that he called their QP as “ epistemology-soaked orgy”  Leadership of the mind  The battle for the leadership of the mind was going on. But there was one man who proved mathematically that Bohr”s model of QP was correct. He was Von Neumann, the greatest Mathematician alive at that time. His reputation was such that his mere name settled issues in Mathematics  Once in a conference Neils Bohr spoke about his QP model. After he left almost every scientist opposed his idea and said it was unacceptable. Seeing the chaos o...
