Warning: military in space

        How space creates new space for human species? You must have watched interstellar movie which shows struggle for second home for earthling in space. But is space safe & peaceful place ? Well, it is interesting to see how space creates new opportunities, at the same time, new risks.
           Space technology & innovation has enabled us new opportunities in the field of services like communication, navigation, financial transactions, science & exploration, remote sensing , weather monitoring etc. All these services are improving other sectors like defense, economic development, political hold etc. Russia is a pioneer of space, dating back to its launch of first satellite Sputnik-1 & placing the first person into orbit around Earth, Yuri Gagarin. Right now, use of Positioning, Navigation & Timing (PNT) system by European Union, Russia & United States is for global coverage, by Japan & India is for operating regional systems and by China is for both regional & global coverage. Now it's no new to say that space is a fourth dimension treated as separate domain by most of the countries.
         My concern & fear is about the fact how man is unstoppable may be, due to his intellectual reach or griddiness or due to his curiosity or insecurity. Timer is on, space is no more peaceful place. There is prophecy how space will treated as battlefield. Some are looking at it as a modern warfare & view counterspace capabilities. Thus, everyone is engaged in working on robust & capable space services. At one side, space launch vehicles & satellites  navigation constellations are providing militaries with the ability to command & control their forces worldwide & enhance situational awareness & enabling them to monitor & track each enemy's movement and at another side, these improvements can pose a threat to space based services across the military, commercial & civil space sectors. Understanding such threats like cyberspace, misuse of Direct Energy Weapons & KE, there are provisions built through  1967 Outer Space treaty to limit weaponization of space. The commercialism of space sector gives challenge to the competition in space technology & space congestion. Even space mining & management of space waste is new emerging byzantine thing  & new workload to the space centres.
              Security is at light speed now. Have you observed timeline? See, how space budget has increased with our every next step in future. Say fortunately or unfortunately but truth is, in safe & secure environment only, one can think about development unless & until if there is no development  to confirm assurity of security. At one side, can you imagine, sudden attack of alien and we are not ready to counter attack? and at another side, can you imagine, how our own created orbital debris will damage our Earth? At that side, can you imagine how changes of expanding universe will affect earth's environment if we aren't alert before ? At this side, can you imagine how rising competition for counterspce capabilities & space war among states will be reason for own destruction ?  The alarm is warning us, wake up before getting too much late.
           What do you think about military in space to defend earth & need of saving earth from unnecessary &  overarching human activities ? How do you think it in both economic & environmental perspectives?

AI control on government

Could robots as government leaders drastically improve decision-making ? what kind of automation you can imagine in leadership ?  Alisa is a personal assistant developed by Yandex, a Russia-based technology company and she nominated itself for the Russian Presidential Election, with the hashtag #Alisa2018. In the Netherlands, 43% of the public already prefer an AI-administered government over a human-administered one. One can get confused how Artificial Intelligence based robots control politics ? If it is going to be our future then definitely we need regulation and legislation of AI ethics, transparency and accountability. We human beings are different from other animals on the basis of thinking power. Robot is product creativity of this tremendous human thinking power. We can feed knowledge into the robots but can we able to feed emotional intelligence ?   Sophia, the world’s first robot to be awarded citizenship, developed by Hong Kong-based company Hanson Robotics.

Is your brain safe?    

       First protect your brain. "You think there's something wrong with my brain?" Here it is said that all answers lies within yourself. A common thread in many inflammatory and neurodegenerative diseases, including Multiple Sclerosis (MS) in damage caused by oxidative stress. Brain immune cells called microglia are now recognized to be early contributors to oxidative stress & damaging brain. Do you know fMRI? It is a tool used for brain scanning I.e. fundamental Magnetic Resonance Imaging which records & identifies which areas of brain are active during specific tasks. dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC), a part of the brain which is associated with deliberative reasoning and integrating cost-benefit calculations. ventromedial prefrontal cortex (vmPFC), a part of the brain that is associated with subjective valuation. In normal routine, both DLPFC & vmPFC work in tandem. But when person with extreme negative thought shows disconnection between ...

Use of geographical configurations

         Do we need integration of geographical knowledge to tackle stress ? The news that remaining geography paper of 10th ssc board exam get cancelled must be good news for students. Now, these students are free to take benefit of current corona lockdown. For most of the students, it was scoring subject. Geography is most important subject to study as a global citizen. We get to know how we all are dependent due to inequal distribution of natural resources, how our cultures, ideas & thoughts are shaped by region, how the relations  between  living things & non living are maintained, in short, evolution of physical environment  & society.             In this context, geographical studies have significant application in making health landscapes, disaster  management , security infrastructure, mental mapping, social environment etc. In current scenario of India, 'mapmyIndia maps' & 'move app' i...
