INSIGHT

Date- 10th October,2011.

It was a fulfilling day with respect to my work with a lot of energy and zeal.

In the process of my daily routine,I happened to watch an online video containing the 1st episode of a 13-episode TV series "COSMOS" by Carl Sagan.It was named as "The shores of the Cosmic Ocean". I was highly impressed once again to see it.( once again because I had seen it way back in 1987 as a student of class 12th )

" Why would a very moderate bluish planet like our Earth be the only place to have Life on it, when billions of planets and celestial bodies carry almost every essential elements necessary to produce and sustain Life ?" asks Sagan in the middle of this very vivid and highly informative episode. "I personally believe that there is no reason why Life wouldn't be there in plenty,somewhere amongst the large amount of satellites and planets up there." he concludes his argument.

Infact this very question of the existence of Living identities somewhere on some planet or a satellite ( or even a meteor )has been puzzling the scientists since decades now. There was a probability of the presence of Life on Mars,but with the proof that there is no water on it as on today, that possibility has been denied temporarily. Scientists have now been considering the case of possibility of life on anyone of the 39 moons of Jupiter or that on 30 of Saturn.That day on which they find Life on any of these natural satellites,would definitely be a Milestone in Space Research.

Its amazing to know that the matter by which the stars are made up of, is exactly the same in which the Sun and our planets are made up of viz.Hydrogen,Helium,carbon,etc.Carbon,Hydrogen and Oxygen constitute organic molecules of which protein and DNA chain is made up of in almost each living body.Thus we can invariably state that we are made up of STAR MATTER !!!

Also there exists an amazing analogy between the Rotation of planets around the Sun (the biggest phenomenon in the solar system) and the Rotation of electrons around the Nucleus of an atom ( the smallest phenomenon in our solar system).Both rotate in the same way and the same principles of physics apply to both of them !!! Really surprising, isn't it ?

One student asked me today," Sir,why do some people succeed in life, while so many of them Fail ?" The answer to it from my side - "Total dedication,perseverance and patience combined with Discipline" Will talk about it tomorrow when I resume typing.
Good Night for today.
