Key Words:   Orion Constellation in Chilly weather, Nuclear Fusion, Sea trade of Romans from India, seven headed cobra,  strangelets,

ABSTRACT

                                           Scientists in California said on Wednesday, 12^th February 2014 that for the first time they managed to release more energy from nuclear fusion experiment than they put into it. They have used 192 Laser beams to compress a tiny fuel element less than half the diameter of human hair that released the energy. Deuterium and Tritium were run together at enough speed to overcome their natural electrical repulsion.

                                Sea surge has damaged the Beach Road in Visakhapatnam on Saturday, February 1, 2014. The tall and fibrous flowering Herb of the genus CANNABIS variety is well known for its Hemp fiber, traditionally used for making ropes, cloth and even paper in India. With everything from paper to pottery being made from Hemp and leaves of it are used as food and its milk which tastes like a vile liquid as a matter of fact like the Soya Milk. A harbor that was an important port along the maritime Silk Road in 2^nd Century AD existed discovered now by Germans in 1990. The trade brought metals and the exotic commodity silk to the Roman world. Sunken ship is a concrete mound of corroded metal bars and ancient cargo scattered including pottery and glass works. A seven headed snake possibly a Cobra was cited at the road side for the spectacle of the tourists to the religious city of India, famous Kasi.

I am glad the Feb.24, 2014 Times of India carried a report of Larger Hadron Collider of year 2030 to go out of service by year 2040. But the Brookhaven National laboratory in New York, risked the creation of micro-black-holes and “strangelets” that might initiate a chain reaction to convert everything into “strange matter” and destroy the planet. (Author’s publications trusciencetrutechnology@blogspot.com).

Most surprising perhaps the neutrinos and antineutrinos being one and the same would imply that the neutrino does not get its mass from the Higgs Boson, as do most of the other elementary particles, but from some other unresolved mechanism! In Large Hadron Collider ‘a Higgs boson’ observed but not ‘the Higgs boson’. [J. of Scientific American Report].

Eta Carinae some 7000 light years away in 1943 the luminous star might someday flare up to outshine all stars except the Sirius.

                        Velpuri Lakshminarayana who worked on Nuclear Spectroscopy and in-beam nuclear spectroscopy and related areas, died on Saturday, February 1, 2014. He was appointed by the then Principal, of AU, Prof. K. R. Rao D.Sc. (Madras). D.Sc. (London) from Physics Department to the newly created Nuclear Physics Department,  by a grant of Rs. Five lakhs from Andhra Government, along with his famous colleague Dr. Sripada Rama Murthi a theoretician (who died earlier under mysterious circumstances).

North India heavy rains since last four days of February 2014 and in Amarkanatak, the birth place of Narmada River with its almost seven multitudes of streams from top of hill, known as dandakaranya forest reserved area, the place Dr. Lalitha Kumari has been visiting for Mahashivarathri festival.

INTRODUCTION

     

The YouTube brought out a beautiful story, of the submerged Dwaraka city in the Arabian Sea, of God Lord Krishna of the 3^rd Millennium in India, though they categorize it as about 30,000 years or so old. Most of the Gold and precious stones might have already been excavated away over the years and only the built big block boulders of the city dwellings of the submerged Dwaraka city are being exhibited.

New atomic clock scientists claim to have developed, neither it gains nor a second loss, in 5billion years time. The NIST has the “strontium lattice clock” 50% more accurate set new records of stability and precision.

      Visakhapatnam city was a busy sea trade centre and home to rich merchants from 11^th century. 

           

               The first mutiny of Indian seapoys against the Britishers took place in 1788, at Visakhapatnam, in which a British Officer was killed [news by Sulogna Mehta TNN].

       [The demise of Prof. Velpuri L Narayana of Nuclear Physics Department of AU, Waltair, occurred on February 1, 2014 at Visakhapatnam. Velpuri Lakshminarayana worked on Nuclear Spectroscopy and in-beam nuclear spectroscopy and related areas, who died on Saturday, February 1, 2014. He was appointed by the Principal, of AU, Prof. K. R. Rao from Physics Department to The Nuclear Physics Department, along with his famous colleague Dr. Shripada Rama Murthi a theoretician, (who died earlier under mysterious circumstances). Velpuri Lakshminarayana an experimentalist, instrumental to establish the new department of Nuclear Physics at Andhra University in 1954, following Prof K R Rao’s visit to NPL at Delhi, from where he brought a Professor to gain the State Government funds of Rs.5lakhs those days, to initiate research in experimental Nuclear Spectroscopy and  Theoretical Nuclear Physics. The efforts of Prof K R Rao in building up the formidable scholars and student to foster outstanding world class research in Physics, over the entire Electromagnetic spectrum at AU, Waltair has not been projected out fully by his followers]

North East US Snow storm on Friday, Feb 14, 2014

        US media reports 16 to 18 people died due to the storm, which has dumped thick blanket of Snow and on Thursday several government offices were closed in Washington. The snow was up to two feet in Places.

Flood Hit UK braces for rainy ordeal

        Another Atlantic storm battered Britain on Thursday and Friday, on communities struggling to cope up with the onslaughts of storms wettest for 250years. Downpour resulted in 40mm rainfall with 128kmmph winds. It lashed just after two days of the hurricane and left people homes without power. They termed it as “Wild Wednesday storms” when gusts approaching 160km per hour tore parts of England and Wales. Snow falls totaled about 18 inches on Thursday.

JAPAN grounds 100 flights due to snow storm

        Up to 30 cm of snow in Central and Western Japan, by Saturday morning, Feb.15, 2014, worst in about 65 years, following just a week after the heaviest snow fall in decades, left 11 people dead and 1200 injured. Tuesday Feb 18 Japan on Valentine’s day storm dumped one meter snow, the second weekend record of the Capital. Toll rose to 23 people dead. News of Nov 19, 2014.

China Earth Tremor

         It is only 22.5km deep but affected 221 km area on the East a strong earthquake of magnitude 6.8R in China.

WAITING FOR A NEUTRINO NO SHOW:

It’s mass not from Higgs Boson!

       

        Neutrino-less double beta decay, a burst of radioactive emission, in which two neutrinos cancel each other out and vanish. No one has ever seen it‼ Most surprising perhaps the neutrinos and antineutrinos being one and the same, would imply that the neutrino does not get its mass from the Higgs Boson, as do most of the other elementary particles, but from some other unresolved mechanism! In Large Hadron Collider ‘a Higgs boson’ observed but not ‘the Higgs boson’.

EXPECTED EVENT OF ASTROPHYSICS

       

        Eta Carinae some 7000 light years away in 1943 the luminous star might someday flare up to outshine all stars except the Sirius.

       

NEW INVENTIONS

       

HEART OF SUPERNOVA

        Astrophysicists could peep into Cassiopeia A (or Cas-A) using Nuclear Spectroscopic Telescope Array to get a map of Radioactive material in it. The shock waves travel at a speed of 10% of light speed that sweeps up an expanding hell of gas and dust. It exploded giving Iron, Calcium, and Gold etc about 11000 years ago!

CERN AND DARK MATTER

        The Director General of CERN announced that “we very much hope that with LHC running at Higher Energy next year we might get the first glimpse of what Dark Matter is” News The Times of India, Mon.Feb.24,2014.

STRANGE MATTER

       

I am glad the Feb.24, 2014 Times of India carried a report of Larger Hadron Collider of year 2030 to go out of service by year 2040. But the Brookhaven National laboratory in New York, risked the creation of micro-black-holes and “strangelets” that might initiate a chain reaction to convert everything into “strange matter” and destroy the planet. (trusciencetrutechnology@blogspot.com publications of the present author on strangeness and recent book by him on ANTI-PHOTON)

OBSERVATIONS AND FINDINGS

      

       The weather in Visakhapatnam was one of a mild cold and lots of fog during the mornings till 11.A.M almost daily in the month of February 2014 but slowly from February 8, 2014 the hot weather started gripping the city in spite that the nights continue to have the winter cold.

The Marijuana plant dates back to 12,000 years and its effective use in India and China  has been thwarted by the Foreign rule to safe guard their plastics Industry. This annual dioeciously (non-hermaphrodite) flowering Herb of the genus CANNABIS was grown and consumed quite liberally and has quite a rich history of legal use till recently. Smoking is usually the least productive use of the plant. The tall and fibrous variety is well known for its Hemp fiber, traditionally used for making ropes, cloth and even paper. With everything from paper to pottery being made from Hemp and leaves of it are used as food and its milk which tastes like a vile liquid as a matter of fact like the Soya Milk. Plastic manufacturing units joined to ban the use of Hemp to ensure petro-chemicals-based plastics to survive and had a win over the bio-degradable Hemp-made plastics.  Randolph Hearst’s Newspaper’s began the untiring effort of danger of this plant and plastic manufacturing companies joined hands with him to ensure the traditional cultivation of it in India and China.

         In Andhra, the 7 century Sun God temple at Arasavalli built by Kalinga Emperors, with present structure dating to 18^th century renovation with main deity a single stone five feet tall granite idol holding lotus buds, flanked by Usha (wisdom) and Chayya (eternity). At the base are Pingala and Danda and saints Sanaka and Sananda.

Fig.9c

           “Modera” temple in Gujarat was built in 1026.A.D so designed that the rays of Sun would fall on the image of Surya at the time of equinox, decorated with artistic murals. Allauddin Khilji plundered it but grandeur remained. The Sun God depicted wearing the peculiar West Asian belt and boots, as in the Sun temple of Gaya. A huge tank exists, in front of the temple with multitude of images.

In Tirupati the seven divine vehicles, Surya Prabha, Chinna Sesha, Garuda, Hanumantha, Kalpavriksha, Chandraprabha, begins as Utsava the so-called mini Brahamotvam in the morning and ends in the evening on this day, he Ratha Saptami.

Fig.9e

Konark the most renowned in the world, the temple dates back to 13 century, was envisioned in the year 1250. There are 24 huge elaborately carved and decorated wheels, which mark the hour of the day. Each wheel is a Sun Dial itself, accurately depicted to the minute during the day. It has lots of erotic sculptures!

Surya Pahar in Assam, about 12km from southeast of Goalpara town, and 136 km northwest of Guwahti is significant that the Shiva lingas about 99999 were carved by Vyasa.  A Sun temple exists on the top of a hill. The state referred as Pragjyotishpura, according to Kalika Purana written in 10^th century BC.  “Praga” refers to East, “Jyotish” refers to star-Astrology. The Sun temple enshrines a circular stone tablet, with image of Kashayapa the father of Adithya (The Sun) surrounded by twelve lotus petals. They are the twelve Solar Divines, namely Dhatri, Mitra, Aryaman, Rudra, Varina, Surya, Bhaga, Vivasvan, Pushan, Savitri, Tvastri and Vishnu.

                 The February 9 2014 was pretty hot in Visakhapatnam of the winter season but by evening it became relatively cool. The beach shore on Sunday Feb. 9, 2014 was full of children and family groups. Especially the night of 9 Feb 2014 it was severe cold.

I have handed over the Pen drive record of my two books in the evening on Sunday Feb. 9, 2014, one on “ANTI-PHOTON” and the other on “PERAM MANIFOLD & RANGADHAMA EFFECT” to Swami Nithyananada at Ramakrishna Mission at the Beach Junction in Visakhapatnam in presence of Bengali devotees.

Heaviest snowfall in 20 years gives Tokyo the chills (news) dated February 9, 2014 in two decades beginning on Saturday, February 8, 2014 evening resulted with 40,000 house-holds lost power. As much as 22cms of snow fall was recorded with three died and 500 others injured. More than 740 flights were cancelled.

        U’khand also recorded snow fall on Saturday, February 8, 2014 with snowing in Bardhrinath, Joshimath, Hemakunt Sahib, and Auli for the last two days. The winter chill returned to the capital Delhi and as well in UP.

Surprisingly, the evening of 11 Feb 2014, there is chilly wind blowing in Visakhapatnam city. The Orion constellation photographed with the fully covered sky with the scattered Moon light and chilly weather on 11 Feb 2014 around 8h33mPM and 9h14mPM.

February 12, 2014 the night sky has moving clouds and the visibility of the Orion stars has become very limited. A picture is given just for a reference taken at 9h08mP.M. Morning was full of Sun light and pretty hot it was relatively in winter month of February. The clouds in the evening may be due to the cold wave that gripped Japan and North India that have descended, from upper layers of the sky.

My research student stint

My student Mr. Chakravarthi M from Odisha College recorded the Moon, just before it was covered by clouds of volcano, on the 16^th early morning around 00h30m.A.M. He has a paper sent to Current Science, on this topic, with spectral display of Moon light and, reflections of Moon light in Ceramic plates that form a special future of his research investigations for a Ph. D degree.

VOLCANO 

                Volcano erupts in Indonesia on Friday, Feb.14, 2014. The cloudy weather without rain, with the dust and ash mixed brownish tinge atmosphere, possibly of the Indonesia existed in Visakhapatnam, from almost 00.30hrs of 16^th Feb and continued with a completely shaded day time on 16^th. Mount Kelud, in Magelang, Spews Ash and Debrish to a height of 18km into the air on Friday, Feb.14, 2014 and could be heard up to 200km away. Eruption sounded like thousands of Bombs exploding. Borbudur temple is partially covered with plastic sheets. The ash fell on Yogyakarta, where motorists switched on headlights in broad day light and ash lay about 5cm deep in some places.

 On Feb 17, 2014 the weather in Visakhapatnam with moving clustered clouds and relatively cool.

The night also there are moving clouds, but less intense with the persistent brownish tinge. On Feb 18, 2014 the sky was very clear except for the morning dew of chilly winter and few photographs could be obtained around 4h46m A.M.

On Feb 18, 2014 a heavy rain shower passed through the Thames Valley in the South East of England, a lady observed, when the clouds parted. The phenomenon is called a “reflection bow”. Floods in the area extensive and Sunlight reflected from wet ground refracted at odd angles giving rise to the arcing across the sky from the primary rainbow.

Rain + Sunlight = a rainbow + floods + Sunlight

= a reflection bow, when it’s very wet.

        The hot Sun during the day time and in the night the moving clouds seems to be phenomenon in this month of February 2014, without any rain. The cloud masses are due to the disturbed shock waves from Himalayan region to the South of India, and it took four days for the clear cloud masses, to move from 23 to 27 February 2014. Initially there were Gravity waves on 23^rd instant in the morning photographed and presented above.

MAHASIVARATHRI

        A sacred puja performed on this day of Mahasiva rathri (night) on the night of Feb 27, 2014, when people pray the God Shiva throughout the night. And special pujas also performed to acquire sacred Manthras that empower healing powers by devote people. Dr. Lalitha Kumari MD (USA) had been to Amarkantak the birth place of Narmada river, giving several branches of other about seven rivers, from the seven sides of a mountain hill, in the famous Dhadakaranya Forest area. Many foreigners are also now a day visiting this area.[ Dr. Lalitha Kumari M.D. of USA]

JAPANESE STUDENTS FIVE DAY GIFT

        The Japanese student 43 young woman ad 30 young men worked near Mandakini river digging sand and fill jute bags, all the way up 350 meters in a chain row, ferried the material, small & large stones, to build earth-quake-resistant two room houses funded by a gracious person. Each student spent $1800/- of his earnings by part-work in Japan. Fukushima resident, Nagahiro Akiyama 22yr old, said the poor in AP is so different from the Japanese who live. As a parting gift, the Japanese cleaned the filth and garbage on the fifth day, in Batwari Sonar Village benefitting 60 families living there - (IANS).

ELECTRIC PASSENGER BUS AT BANGALORE

        Rs.2.7crore bus by BYD Auto, with two sliding doors and two roof hatches and with two CCTV cameras, first of its kind was introduced in Bangalore. It was a 31 seat bus with a range of 250km. A battery capacity of 324kWhr, bus can make eight trips, and can charge at Depot No.7 in Majestic area. Passenger fare is equivalent to Volvo bus fare, with sensors to detect smoke or a spark indicated on dash board.

Lettuce-based self growing Electric wires

       Lettuce seedlings placed onto the electrodes made of Aluminum foil in drops of water. Bio-wires created by the seedlings bridging the electrodes. Resistance of seedlings repetitively changed or oscillated with output potential from 1.5 to 2V less than the input potential. Reliable rooting of plant roots between living and silicon components may solve the problem said Andrew Adamatzky from England.(Dr. P. S. Kavi, from Dharwad,  did Ph. D work on seedlings in 1977 and extensively reported their biological potentiality. See references listed below)

Manuscript Carbon Dated 1400 year.

               An antique book dealer, picked up in Italy 600 years old mystery script book, identified a word for Taurus, with a picture of seven stars seem to be Pleiades, with a picture of PLANT century and other plants! Book is full of exotic plants, stars, mysterious human figures and an unknown text.

El Nino likely to return: (NEWS TOI Dt. Feb 23, 2014)

        The El Nino can trigger drought in India, a warning of sea-surface temperatures in Pacific every 4 to 12 years that triggers changes in weather pattern. Last 130 years droughts coincided with El Nino (Spanish word for Boy) occurrence. In 2009 worst drought occurred in India nearly after four decades.

        In the Indian Ocean a shipwreck took place off the southern coast of Sir Lanka, was only discovered in 2003! It lies 33 meters below the ocean’s surface, off the fishing village Godavaya. A harbor that was an important port along the maritime Silk Road in 2^nd Century AD existed discovered now by Germans in 1990. The trade brought metals and the exotic commodity silk to the Roman world. Sunken ship is a concrete mound of corroded metal bars and ancient cargo scattered including pottery and glass works.  Many campaigns took place in 2011 and 2013 and only partially documented the findings. The mound covers an area of 20 by 20 feet and exact location of ship wreck not known as yet [LiveScience.com report Feb 6, The Hindu].

BIO-FUELS

Now gasoline-like fuels can be made from cellulose materials such as, farm waste. Chemical processing of straw, corn stalks and  municipal green waste yields levulinic acid a feed stock of the new process.
