Know no limits

Do you know there is a difference between knowing & believing. Yes, ofcourse you do. Believing means believing something you don't exactly know, but you actually believe it to be. Knowing simply means knowing for sure. I think it's turning out to be confusing. Ok, Lets take help of an example. Long back, a group of people believed that Sun revolved around earth & they thought they really know it. Today we KNOW Sun doesn't revolve around the earth. Even a 6 year old kid will not have any doubt about it, just like a 6 year old could tell you about earth being stable in one place, some thousands of years back.

We know, what we are told. We believe it so much that we close our minds from accepting fresh air & fresh thoughts. Can you be really 100% sure that some 100 years later a scientist will not come up with a major discovery saying that Earth is not revolving. Who knows he may give us something like this as a reason for past mistakes "OH !! GREAT revolving speed in space & the lack/excess of something creates high level of hynotism which we really couldn't defeat even with machines/robots."

Well it may or may not happen but what i am trying to say is "Open your minds. Don't start from where someone ended unless you are not very sure about it. Think Fresh & fair"

Just to test, i asked a question at http://answers.yahoo.com/

Q: Is it possible to transmeet electricity wirelessly? If yes, how? If no, why not? Can we replace electricity with something that can be transmitted wirelessly?

Some of the answers were amusing.. read on

Nickname: BOOMER SOONER FAN: Yeah if we want to kill our self explain to me how you are going to get electricity safely through the air from one place to another it would be like having lightning everywhere

Nickname: CWcc: wireless electricity? I think it's called lightning...but seriously, you want to transfer energy without wires;the easiest way to do that is to transmit electromagnetic waves, i.e. radio, microwave, lightthe problem with that is that it would 1. be prohibitively expensive 2. work poorly with things like walls 3. be impossibly difficult to coordinate among users 4. have a tendency to cook people alivein short, we do not yet have the technology to transfer energy wirelessly in a practical way.

Mohit (My Bro): Pata nahi. Dimaag ni chalana mujhe. i have read somewhere its possible.

BOOMER SOONER forgot we don't see sms all over the sky when we send/recieve it. We can always decode. "How" is technical & can be answered by a scientist only. I can't even tell how voice is transferred through wires or towers. Mohit didn't make an effort. CWcc tried to be technical with no technical support for his answer. Anywyas, that is not the point.

How could somebody have created LYCRA if one would have kept thinking "COTTON IS NATURAL, I CAN'T DO MUCH WITH IT".

Think, Imagine. Only then you can do something new or atleast try to do something new. This applies to not only science but also to history & traditions.

Stop following something rigidly without knowing the reasons. This general curosity is a part of your being educated. You must convert yourself into an educated person from being a literate alone. An idea of creating an email system such as hotmail was not an achievement on technical front alone. The greater part was the idea.

Today, i switched on the tv & heard Coal minister saying "we want to increase coal production in india so people will stop importing coal from outside. When we already have something, why should we import it." Alrite !! This is a very common mindset. When you can produce something home, why to move out for same. But China is importing all the coal & preserving its own coal reserves, i heard. I also heard China is largest crude oil buyer from international market but not the largest consumer. So, are they creating reservoirs? Are they waiting for the world to finish natural resources elsewhere so they become the only supplier. MONOPOLY... A new thought. Business sense.

Imagination Pays. Try it...
