Oct. 20, 2022: He could not get the three dimensions to work, but he saw a way to do so for quadruples (points in 4-dimensional space). By using three of the numbers in the quadruple as the points of a coordinate in 3D space, Hamilton could represent points in space by his new system of numbers but they had to extend into the fourth dimension for the algebra to work out. This was his great insight! In fact, he thought that his discovery was so important that, being afraid to lose the idea (after all, you could die any second), he carved the basic rules for multiplication into the stones of the bridge: i² = j² = k² = ijk = −1. His wife must have been very patient with him while waiting in the cold (or maybe she was relieved that the hunt for these mythical numbers was now over). On the following day, Hamilton wrote a letter to his friend and fellow mathematician, John T. Graves, describing the miracle on the bridge. “And here there dawned on me the notion that we must admit, in some sense, a fourth dimension of space for the purpose of calculating with triples … An electric circuit seemed to close, and a spark flashed forth.” Hamilton called a quadruple with these rules of multiplication a quaternion, and he devoted the remainder of his life to studying and teaching them. And so, he did. Mathematics: Just as complex numbers have an algebraic side and a geometric side, so do the quaternions. In fact, the field of complex numbers is in some sense embedded inside the space of quaternions so we should expect some general results to hold for quaternions that also hold for complex numbers - we will see that this is actually true. So, we have a chain of sets ℕ ⊂ ℤ ⊂ ℚ ⊂ ℝ ⊂ ℂ ⊂ ℍ where each set is a subset of the set on the right. These sets are the natural numbers, integers, rational numbers, real numbers, complex numbers, and quaternions respectively. A natural question is then: Are there higher dimensional number spaces than the quaternions? The answer to this question is “yes”, but we need to learn how to walk before we try to run, so let’s talk about the quaternions. And yes, the letter H is for Hamilton! Just as we can view complex numbers as points (or vectors) in ℝ² (2-dimensional space over the real numbers), we can view quaternions as points in ℝ⁴, and therefore we need 4 real numbers to define a quaternion. A quaternion is an expression of the form q = a + bi + cj + dk, where a, b, c, d are real numbers and the symbols i, j, and k satisfy certain algebraic relations between each other. Specifically, we have i² = j² = k² = ikj = -1 (which was what Hamilton wrote down on the bridge), and moreover, ij = k, ji = -k, jk = i, kj = -i, ki = j, ik = -j. Together with the distributive law and the associative law which also holds for quaternions, these rules define the algebra of ℍ. Note that quaternions are not commutative. That is, in general, qw ≠ wq. This might seem strange at first that we need to keep track of the direction we multiply numbers together, but those of you who have been dragged through endless hours of linear algebra (as I have) know that many other mathematical structures and spaces share this non-commutativity property
.

Fig.4: Multiplication graph for the quaternions - image from Wikimedia Commons. Sometimes we write a quaternion as a sum of a scalar part a, and a vector part v. So, we can write q = a + bi + cj + dk = a + v where v = bi + cj + dk. In this form, we write the conjugate of a quaternion q* = a - v = a - bi - cj - dk. The square root of the product of a quaternion with its conjugate is called its norm and is the distance from the origin to the quaternion in ℝ⁴. That is, this is of course just Pythagoras’ theorem in 4 dimensions. Euler found an amazing relation between the exponential function and the trigonometric functions through the complex number i, namely that One of the beauties of the theory of quaternions is the Euler formula for quaternions. We have amazing that if we write a quaternion q = a + v, then the following beautiful relation holds: Note that this is in fact a generalization of Euler’s formula since if we have a quaternion z = xi where a = c = d = 0, then the two formulas coincide. Hamilton came up with these numbers in order to work with rotations in 3-dimensional space. And thus even though they live in four dimensions, it turns out that they are very effective for working with rotations in 3-dimensional space if you just keep track of the vector part which of course lives in ℝ³. Applications and Overview The quaternions are used in many pure mathematical contexts such as the study of abstract algebraic structures. However, it turns out that there are numerous applications of the quaternions to very real things. For example, in 3D computer graphics, quaternions are used all the time because they are more efficient and faster than the corresponding matrices. Quaternions are also used in one of the proofs of Lagrange’s four-square theorem in number theory, which states that every nonnegative integer is the sum of four integer squares. Lagrange’s four-square theorem has useful applications in areas of mathematics outside number theory, such as combinatorial design theory. Apparently, they are also used in crystallographic texture analysis. Quaternions have their place in mathematics, but much of the theory has now been replaced by a more general setting. In modern language, quaternions form a four-dimensional associative normed division algebra over the real numbers and it was the first noncommutative division algebra to be discovered. We are now inside the realm of abstract algebra and as I briefly mentioned in the beginning, there are other higher-dimensional number spaces than the quaternions. In general, these algebras extending the complex numbers are called hypercomplex number spaces, and the next such space is that of the octonions denoted O and they live in 8-dimensional space. The octonions however lack both the commutative law and the associative law making them even harder to work with than the quaternions. In general, every time we lift the numbers up and consider higher dimensional spaces, we lose some structure. We are near the end of this higher-dimensional journey. I hope that this article will inspire you to look these beauties up for yourself and try to play around with them.
Oct. 20, 2022: This huge waterspout wreaked havoc along the coastline of a popular tourist hotspot sending beach furniture and other debris flying into the air. Footage shows the initial stages of the twister in Ayia Napa, Cyprus, as it formed a long, thin column above the water. It quickly gained momentum and developed into a larger cyclone-style twister and, as its speed intensified, it became wider and faster. Eventually, it makes its way towards the beach sending beach furniture into the air and combining the water with sand as tourists fled the area. Government data suggest around 1,000,000 UK tourists travel to Cyprus each year with Ayia Napa being one of the most popular destinations.
Oct. 21, 2022: Asura is a demigod, titan or antigod, according to the context. They exist in both the Hindu and the Buddhist religions.

Oct. 25, 2022: Scientists urge Centre to stop ‘ancient science’ meet. BENGALURU: The Karnataka chapter of India March For Science (IMFS), a collective of scientists, has appealed to the government to stop the proposed conference themed “Akash Tatva”, scheduled for November 5 and 7 in Dehradun, which according to the Centre is aimed at introducing the youth to the ‘wisdom of ancient science along with modern scientific advancements’. “There are only two types of science – good science and bad science. Though we are all proud of our ancestors and their contributions to overall human development, there is nothing to be gained by projecting their teachings as totally equivalent to science. We reject the concept of Pancha Bhutas — the sky, the earth, water are not elements,” the IMFS statement read. Reiterating that such concepts have been deleted from science books a long time ago, IMFS argues that to bring them back was a “retrograde step” and should be rejected.

Oct. 27, 2022: A free state as a quark-gluon plasma. As the universe expanded and cooled, this quark-gluon plasma would undergo a phase transition and become confined to protons and neutrons (three quarks each). In laboratory experiments of similar phase transitions—physicists collide heavy nuclei at high energies in order to achieve temperatures and densities that may be high enough for the matter in the nuclei to change phase from the normal state, with quarks confined within protons and neutrons, to a plasma of free quarks and gluons. One way that this new state of matter should reveal itself is through the creation of more strange quarks, and hence more strange particles, than in normal collisions. CERN has claimed to have observed hints of quark-gluon plasma.

a temple-university called Sharda Peeth in ancient Kashmir.
In PoK, locals protect the ruins of Adi Shankaracharya’s seat. KP Saikiran - 12h ago. Legend has it that Adi Shankaracharya’s ‘Digvijaya’ or tour of philosophical conquest culminated at a temple-university called Sharda Peeth in ancient Kashmir. Today, the remains of the Peeth lie in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir’s Neelum Valley, hardly 20km from Keran village in Kupwara on the Indian side of the Loc's Shonaleeka Kaul, associate professor, Centre for Historical Studies, Jawaharlal Nehru University, said the Peeth’s centrality as a site of learning is part of the larger story of the intensely connected histories of Kashmir and the rest of India. She said the Peeth finds mention in Nilamata Purana, a 7th-century text. Kalhana’s Raja Tarangini from the 12th century – deemed the first history of Kashmir – also records the Peeth was a Hindu pilgrimage site of subcontinental renown by the 8th century CE when devotees from as far as Gauda (Bengal) visited it, she added. Adi Shankaracharya’s famed visit to Kashmir in the 8th century and his ascension of the Sarvajna Peetha there are salient examples of this, and the Mahdavia Shankara Digvijaya, a 13thcentury text, details this episode.

According to the US Department of Energy, solar panels have many benefits, including lower monthly utility bills, increased home value, and reduced greenhouse gas emissions. To build the solar panel, James said he installed the base in the backyard and then used a crane to place the panel on the base. Then, they hired a professional to complete the solar panel's wiring in the basement. "That was a pretty big process," James said, referring to the wiring. "It was probably two weeks of work to do all the off-grid wiring."

Earthquake-proof stones from Karnataka to be used in Ram Temple foundation at Ayodhya. The foundation of the temple, which is being constructed on the banks of the river Saryu, has been dug 40 feet deep into the ground. Experts said that the stones brought from Chikkaballapur had been tested at a 1500 degree Celsius temperature and then kept in cold conditions. After these experiments, the stones have become water resistant too. According to the trust, the stones used in the foundation of the temple are being procured from the mines of Gukanhalli and Adigullu villages on the outskirts of Chikkaballapur district.

The research was conducted by a team led by Ananda Hota, a researcher with the UM-DAE Centre for Excellence in Basic Sciences. The paper that describes their findings was published on October 12th in the Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society Letters. Galaxies are typically divided into three main classes based on size, shape, and composition. First, there are ellipticals, which account for about one-third of all galaxies in the Universe that range from being nearly circular to very elongated.

However, in 1971, Indira Gandhi abolished the privy purses saying they were incompatible with an egalitarian social order. Through the 26th Amendment Act, Articles 291 and 362 were omitted from the Indian Constitution, stripping former princely state rulers of privy purses and other privileges. In her statement for amending the Constitution, the former PM had stated: “The concept of rulership, with privy purses and special privileges unrelated to any current functions and social purposes, is incompatible with an egalitarian social order. The government has, therefore, decided to terminate the privy purses and privileges of the rulers of former Indian states. It is necessary for this purpose, apart from amending the relevant provisions of the Constitution, to insert a new article therein so as to terminate expressly the recognition already granted to such rulers and to abolish privy purses.”

Oct. 31, 2022: This scary sound is coming from Earth's magnetic field. 6h ago. Scientists from the Technical University of Denmark have converted magnetic signals into sound, and it sounds scary. The magnetic field is largely generated by an ocean of superheated, swirling liquid iron that makes up the outer core around 3,000 km beneath our feet. While it is generated under the planet, its effects are seen in the atmosphere above us. When the charged particles from the sun collide with atoms and molecules – mainly oxygen and nitrogen – in the upper atmosphere, some of the energy in the collisions is transformed into the green-blue light that is seen as the aurora borealis.
