  • Patriarchy in Indian academics. Our excellence is a myth.

    Patriarchy in Indian academics. Our excellence is a myth.

    The Indian Academics are glorious organizations, renowned around the world for their moribund infrastructure but excellency in education. Isn’t it a myth? How can we produce the best athletes who live and practice in mush? Perhaps the king just needs the athletes, no matter what, as the Olympics needs them. This time the international organizations…

  • IMA (IoMA, Institute of Mathematics) now ISI.

    IMA has a nice wind-born campus in the outskirts of Bhubaneswar, about 6 kms from the famous ancient caves. In the beautiful but wild rural parts of Bhubaneswar, perfect for research organization only if highly funded and having fabulous infrastructure. I think this will now come true.

  • Do we have two theories for two different scales of reality?

    Quantum laws pervade everywhere. The diffraction of prism or windows, the little stars that sparkle on your window pane are all quantum mechanical effects brought into the fore of our sight. We gaze at it from our convenience, but they are produced at the minion and carried forth without prejudice to yet another scale, the…

  • Why some particles are fractional spin?

    So spin 1/2 or spin-3/2 particles are clumped together. Which is why this behavior. Because the other types of particles which are only less in number have integral spins, they carry the force over large and un-clumped distances in spin-space. The spin angles in the phase space is integrally divided and these particles are free…

  • Why Sun is circular but star twinkles?

    The frequency of light is small because the energy or intensity is low. So you see twinkles. But light is still moving at the same speed towards us. It takes 4.5 years from some stars while taking 8 minutes from sun, both at the same speed. But with sun, the face of the sun or…
