Key Words:   Vitamin B3, Unusual hail storm in Araku,  Marathalli-Bangalore first rain, Techni-Quarks,  Late Prof. K.  R.  Rao’s  Nuclear discoveries 1919-1950, Coal Sack, super-hydrophobic cement

ABSTRACT

        The Pennsylvania University Scientists report that 30 to 600PPB measure Vitamin B3 (nicotine acid) supporting the theory that the essential ingredients for life originated from the (Ulkalu) Meteors. Mrs. K. Peramma Rangadhama Rao emphatically told the author in his younger days (1950s) that falling bright stars would produce magnificent personalities. A hailstorm occurred with falling stones nearly an hour on Saturday 12 April in Machkund. People found entire lengths of roads covered with bed sheet of white hailstone flowers Machkund. It drizzled in the afternoon at Marathalli, Bangalore on 12th and possibly due to the rain that brought hailstorm in Machkund at district Visakhapatnam. Greenland has snow slate, situated deep inside that remained undisturbed over 30lakhs of years. The hot weather with no rains but moving clouds made the city Visakhapatnam very warm and power cut has become very frequent almost four to five times in a day since 12 April – 30 April 2014.

Techni-Quarks unidentified particles, smaller that might extend the standard model and, over last 5-8 years handful of theories suggested existence of these. Force binding them is not as yet known.

It is not the Atmospheric pressure the operating force in a siphon but it is Gravity that moves the fluid in a siphon.


INTRODUCTION

        Arctic sea ice melt season melted 4 feet of ice cap in this decade. Opinion piece published in Nature in April 3rd, 2014 notes that Homi. J. Bhabha was secretary to the Government, as head of DAE in 1950. The research in Nuclear Science was not recognized by the Indian leaders influenced by mouth word of foreign specialists and government agents in India. The pioneering work of Prof K R Rao D.Sc. (Madras) D.Sc.(London) on Nuclear Science & Technology during the years 1920 to 1950 was neglected and fell for the bandwagon respect to the foreign agencies lauded by the government departments in India.

Gravity moves fluid in Siphon

        Correction in Oxford English Dictionary that, it is not the Atmospheric pressure the operating force in a siphon but, it is Gravity that moves the fluid in a siphon, a correction found by Stephen    Hughes, after a lapse of 99 years.

BIRTH PLACE OF STARS AND PLANETS

        Stars and planets formed from tenuous material between the stars. Regions between stars have a “dilute gas”. W. Herschel in 1789 said Nebula like the ones in Orion Nebula, are the “Chaotic material of future Suns”. Hubble space telescope images in Orion are colorful due to ionized gas, emitting in optical region, but surprisingly has dark regions.
      
  It is presumed that the dark areas contain very minute particles of dust such as silicates & carbonaceous compounds which both absorb and scatter the light. These denser and colder concentrations of gas regions are where the newer stars are born. Dust clouds quite large (tens of light years across) and massive (105 solar masses) are not able to form stars like our Sun.

        Dark clouds such as, Coal Sack in Southern Milky-Way contains 99% hydrogen gas and 1% solid material. Dust grains are typically a few tenths of a micron in size. They are responsible to appear as dark, shield molecules from dissociating UV radiation emitted by nearby stars. (The Observatory, A review of Astronomy, Vol.134, No.1238, 2014 Feb p.10)    

Variety of Patterns in Nature

        Alan Turing in 1952 explained origin of static patterns on Zebra’s etc animals using differential equations for the reaction-diffusion process, six patterns can emerge some identified with existing patterns in Biology. N Tompkins model recently found five of these patterns and throws up a seventh unpredicted pattern.

Techni-quarks

        These may be unidentified particles smaller, that might extend the standard model and over last 5-8 years handful of theories suggested existence of these. Force binding them is not as yet known.

Manu Prakash Foldscope

        From Stanford University he developed the Foldscope a low-cost microscope, with three stages with a specimen stage that holds the sample, next an optical stage that holds a ball lens and finally an illumination stage that contains a LED light. Eyebrows need to be close to the paper to view the specimen.

OCEAN BUOYS DATA

        It has been found that the ocean boys collect vital data transmitted, once in every 15 minutes, to earth stations via satellites such as Insat-3C. “Met.Ocean buoys” has sensors that measure wind speed and atmospheric pressure etc. There are other devices that can make measurements below ocean surface to a depth of 500 meters. Small swirls in ocean may also be detected as per the recent Current Science journal.

DEVICE TO TRANSLATE DOLPHIN SOUNDS

        Chat (Cetacean Hearing and Telemetry) uses a pair of hydrophones to simplify range of noises, at beyond human hearing at 200 KHz. It helps to decipher by artificial intelligence the massive range of noises the dolphins produce.

FUSION

        A breakthrough in nuclear fusion by NIF, using a barrage of 192 laser beams on a tiny pellet of nuclear fuel was able to extract more energy from fuel than was put in [Nature 12 Feb 2014]. The experiment requires a few more years to develop and till 2030 it may not possible to have the technology available.

EARTH-LIKE OBJECT

        Goldlocks Jone has a earth-like object observed using the Kepler Telescope by Astronaughts as Kepler-186F. It is at distance of 500Ly away from earth.

ORIGIN OF LIFE

Ancient Indians believed that the new Life and outstanding personalities on Earth originated from the falling debris of Ulkalu (Mrs. K. Peramma Rangadhama Rao emphatically told the author in his younger days that falling bright stars would produce magnificent personalities). Now the Pennsylvania University Scientists report that 30 to 600PPB measure Vitamin B3 (nicotine acid) supporting the theory that the essential ingredients for life originated from the Ulkalu.

30lakhs years Earth
        Greenland has snow slate deep inside that remained undisturbed over 30lakhs of years.

NEW CONCRETE

       It promises super-hydrophobic cement discovered by Wisconsin University scientists that has embedded sensors to reveal the changes taking place in the wall and prevents the cracks in them. In built Bluetooth-Wi-Fi devices inside the walls inform the possible degradation.

EARTH TREMORS

        A few stations in Chiplun-Ukshi section of railway line in Konkan railway experienced earth tremors measuring 3.2R at 7h33mAM people on Wednesday 2nd April reported by station masters of Kamathe, Savarada, Ukshi, and Sangameshwara stations. The 12432 Rajdhani express for 35 minutes, 12617 Mangala express for an hour and 19577 Tiruvelveli-Hapa express for 45 minutes were halted.

on 4th April Morning 2014.

         Stayed in Bangalore from 4th evening to 12th April 2014, in the hostel PG at Marathalli with computer youngsters employed in various firms. Friday 4th reached the I. I. Sc library around 10 AM, for looking at recent books and journals.  They allowed to use the library facility only on the 4th and on 7th & 8th and the Lady Librarian accepted my book on “ANTI-PHOTON” for display at I. I. Sc main library and catalogued it. While the Head of Dept of Physics, refused to accept another copy of it since it is not a published version!!! I am thankful to him for his opinion that students at his department may not look at it!

        Dr. Lanka Radhakrishna FRAS, entertained me on 9th April 2014, at his & at her (Medical Doctor) daughter’s residence, whose husband is a classmate of my nephew Srihari in USA.

        On 10th I have visited the Indian Institute of Astrophysics, Bangalore, and the Lady Librarian was furious that I was allowed inside around 8.30AM and allowed me to stay till 5.p.m only. Their sponsored lunch and tea were excellent. I made maximum use of the Library.

Next day 11th I made a visit to Raman Research Institute but couldn’t see his laboratory since the in-charge was on leave. But I spent at the Library and the gracious Lady Librarian, took a photo copy of my book on “ANTI-PHOTON”. As an outsider, I had food in their canteen at a cost of Rs.50/-. Later I visited the Current Science Publications, and met the Madam Lady Officer.

The young computer specialist Mr. Madhukar Munagala helped me to create Face book on 11th night and on 12th April in Wi-Fi system in Bangalore. I left Bangalore by bus around 6.10pm. But Wi-Fi system, it’s not operational at Visakhapatnam.

Liquid Space-time: 
What if space-time were a kind of fluid? 
Date: April 23, 2014:  Sissa Medialab
 What if space-time were a kind of fluid? This is the question tackled by theoretical physicists working on quantum gravity by creating models attempting to reconcile gravity and quantum mechanics. Some of these models predict that space-time at the Planck scale is no longer continuous – as held by classical physics – but discrete in nature. Just like the solids or fluids we come into contact with every day, which can be seen as made up of atoms and molecules when observed at sufficient resolution. A structure of this kind generally implies, at very high energies, violations of Einstein’s special relativity (a integral part of general relativity).

Star close neighbor of the Sun and Colder minimum -54C
April 25, 2014: Penn State
A 'brown dwarf' star that appears to be the coldest of its kind -- as frosty as Earth's North Pole -- has been discovered by astronomers. The object's distance is at 7.2 light-years away, making it the fourth closest system to our Sun.  Brown dwarfs start their lives like stars, as collapsing balls of gas, but they lack the mass to burn nuclear fuel and radiate starlight. The newfound coldest brown dwarf, named WISE J085510.83-071442.5, has a chilly temperature between minus 54 and 9 degrees Fahrenheit (minus 48 to minus 13 degrees Celsius). WISE J085510.83-071442.5 is estimated to be 3 to 10 times less the mass of Jupiter. With such a low mass, it could be a gas giant similar to Jupiter that was ejected from its star system. In March of 2013, Luhman's analysis of the images from WISE uncovered a pair of much warmer brown dwarfs at a distance of 6.5 light years, making that system the third closest to the Sun. 

OBSERVATIONS

        It rained in Bangalore a drizzle on the two days viz. Wednesday and Thursday 9th and 10th April but on 11th morning the cloudy weather made the city relatively hot. Left Bangalore by luxury bus at 18h14mPM on 12 April 2014 and captured rising Sun pictures on 13 April 2014 (Fig.1 to Fig.1f) from the Sun-shaded glass window of the bus on 13th morning. Note Fig.1f taken at 6h18m A.M.

It drizzled in the afternoon at Marathalli Bangalore on 12th and possibly due to the rain that brought hail storm in Machkund at Visakhapatnam.


At 8h32m AM on 13 April the Krishna river Bridge scenario captured. Again around 10h29m AM the Godavari bridge and the Sun in the clouds captured from the moving bus through the window.

ARAKU VALLEY
        Experienced a hailstorm with falling stones nearly an hour on Saturday 12 April. People found entire lengths of roads covered with bed sheet of white hailstone flowers.

Machkund city due to the unexpected rain.


ASIAN AIR POLLUTION
        It has been noticed that the air pollution from the Asia boosts Pacific storms. The data collected from 1850 to 2000 hints that human-made particles from Asia impact and intensify the Pacific storm track that influences weather over much of the world [The Hindu April 17].

M82 GALAXY
        On 21 January 2014 the students discovered a supernova Type 1a in Cigar Galaxy about 11.4 million Ly away north east of big dipper in northern sky. It reached its peak brightness, in the first week of February 2014 of magnitude 10.6. It possibly resulted from pull of hydrogen gas by a nearby star and when it exceeded “Chandrasekhar Mass” limit of 1.44 times the Sun’s mass, “a runaway nuclear reaction” ignited the white dwarf to explode as a supernova [April 2014 Dream Vol.16, No.7, p.25].

Fig. 5.Supernova


The hot weather with no rains but moving clouds made the city Visakhapatnam very warm and power cut has become very frequent almost four to five times in a day since last seven days beginning 12 April.


ANCIENT FARMING
13 April 2014 Telugu news paper wrote that American Scientists at Virginia University discovered that Coconut powder is useful as a fertilizer for growth of strong trees. But Indian farmers ancient were using this as a fertilizer and modern farmers fail to record and document as patents, the ancient methods of farming in India.

Note the yellow tinge around the Sun


Summer Heat El Nino Effect
The summer heat in Visakhapatnam was phenomenal though yet times cloud weather in the evenings the Sun’s heat brought down to lower grade during the days from 18th April 2014 to 28 April 2014. There were no rains at Visakhapatnam both in the months of March and April 2014 an unusual feature. Again on 30th April the temperature rose to the normal summer temperature.

Surprisingly the night temperatures on the days 27th and 28th have fallen down by about 2 to three degrees making it tolerable weather in the night. Surprisingly, Tornadoes across south-central US on Sunday, 27 at 7h30m P.M, with winds ripped Arkansas and Oklahoma and neighborhoods, killing about 17 people. Twister was spotted 322Km away from Oklahoma City at about 5h45m P.M.

The recent models of Quark star origin of new primaries
of Cygnus X-3 muon and Centauro proton ‘showers are
critically examined. It is proposed instead that Gravy Quark
Stars exist in the interior of these objects. (11th Gravy Quark Int.
Conference, Stockholm July 1986 by K. L. Narayana).
Existence and role of spinorial particles of mass
1.6x10 -23 gm density 9.952x10 45 gm Cm -3 and magnetic
Moment of 5916.2μB is predicted. The model formulae to
Describe the space-time curvature behavior in terms of
Spinorial deformations and rotation stress tensors is presented.

                The new coupling constant of the renormalized
Gravitational Bosons and their role to generate Chromic Gravy
Lattice structures of those massive and bright stars are detailed
out. The significance of lattice section to describe the
frustration of plaquettes and transportation of new gravy
gauge fields along links of the lattice is presented. The model
is shown to lead thus to a “Stochastic Gravy Quantization”.
