May  18, 2020: Earth’s magnetic north pole is on the move and scientists might now know why. The magnetic north pole as been moving up to 34 miles a year for years. But researchers from the UK and Denmark now believe they might have worked out why – and it’s due to two writhing blobs of magnetism under Earth’s surface, one in Canada, the other in Siberia, Popular Mechanics reported.  Earth’s magnetic field is generated by iron in the liquid outer core of our planet, where a hot ocean of iron and nickel flows.The scientists said that the flow of magnetic material changed between 1970 and 1999, and a magnetic blob beneath Canada elongated, splitting in two. Part of this ‘blob’ shifted towards Siberia, causing the magnetic pole to move in that direction.

Rare palm from Andaman's gets second home, critically endangered species started flowering at Thiruvananthapuram. Pinanga andamanensis, the pith of the trunk of these palms is sweet. Italian botanist Odnardo Beccari in 1934 identified.
May  19, 2020: An earthquake of magnitude 4.1  truck a northern Swedish mine it was the strongest measured in the country, 13 people were working and no one wa injured. Water level as rising but pumps were working earthquake was tied to he ore extraction activities. 
May 19, 2020:  Maximum temperatures may rise gradually by 2-4 C over the plains of North-West, Central and West India during next 3-4 days but by only slightly lower 2-3 C over the South Peninsula from as early as tomorrow (Wednesday). A heat wave may develop over West Madhya Pradesh and Vidarbha from Tuesday to Saturday; over Rajasthan from Wednesday to Saturday; over Uttar Pradesh and Telangana from Thursday to Saturday; over Gujarat from Wednesday to Thursday; and over Coastal Andhra Pradesh and Rayalaseema from Friday to Saturday.
May 20, 2020: Super cyclones Amphan is strongest storm,  since 1999 that ravaged Paradip in Odisha,  in Bay of Bengal form due to warm waters and moisture generated and this year recorded several  summer temperatures. Buoys have recorded 32.34 C, for the first two weeks of May which are driven by climate change. Tropical cyclones  Fewer clouds and more heat in the Bay of Bengal amplify the strength of cyclones. From March-April 2020, Bay of Bengal temperatures have been 1-3 C higher than normal. 
May 21    2020: It is unfortunate that the ancient seven wells representing the seven north stars in the sky were destroyed by builders in the Rushikonda area of Visakhapatnam resulting in the loss of ancient knowledge of the Universe. Each well water seems to have a different taste and ancient Rushies gauged the universe, and reflections of it in well waters, with exemplary skill of astronomy and astrophysics.  It is a unique construction. Both these were built about 5000 years ago. What surprises me is that they looked for the celestial objects and replicated them in right earnest way.  For centuries, historians and archaeologists have puzzled over the many mysteries of Stonehenge, the prehistoric monument that took Neolithic builders an estimated 1,500 years to erect. Located in southern England, it is comprised of roughly 100 massive upright stones placed in a circular layout. Archaeologists believe most iconic prehistoric ruins were built in several stages, with the earliest constructed 5,000 or more years ago. In the 1960, the astronomer Gerald Hawkins suggested that the cluster of megalithic stones operated as an astronomical calendar, with different points corresponding to astrological phenomena such as solstices, equinoxes and eclipses.  Stonehenge draws more than 800,000 tourists a year, many of whom also visit the region’s numerous other Neolithic and Bronze Age marvels. it is thought, Stonehenge’s builders hoisted an estimated 80 non-indigenous blue-stones, 43 of which remain today, into standing positions and placed them in either a horseshoe or circular formation. Stonehenge is a prehistoric monument in Wiltshire, two miles (3 km) west of Amesbury. It consists of a ring of standing stones, each around 13 feet (4.0 m) high, seven feet (2.1 m) wide, and weighing around 25 tons.
May  20, 2020: Visakhapatnam experienced for the first time in this season the hot winds or gales, even though located near the sea with dry winds, the weather has become hot. Only 50% water vapor in the air. In airport it recorded bout 39 C. Another four days this weather would prevail of the hot summer. From Thursday  the temperatures would increase for about four days. 
May 21, 2020: The cyclone raged for hours on Wednesday evening and night. The storm started making a landfall at 2.30 p.m. on Wednesday and by 4 p.m. the impact was felt in Kolkata. For over six hours the storm raged with all its fury. About 6 p.m. the Alipore Weather Office recorded a wind speed of about 112 km/h and at 7.20 p.m. the wind speed in Dum Dum in Kolkata peaked to 133 km/h. Many people said they got an earthquake-like feeling when the cyclone was battering the city. Some said they felt that buildings were swaying. The feeling was all the more intense in high rises in east Kolkata which was closer to Cyclone Amphan’s path.On Thursday morning, the streets and lanes bore the scar marks left behind by the storm - uprooted lamp posts and traffic signals, broken pieces of glasses from shattered windowpanes and damaged vehicles trapped under broken tree-branches among others. Several houses were also damaged when uprooted trees fell on them. exploding transformers, trees getting uprooted, tin roofs and street-hoardings flying like paper sheets and a raging storm that Kolkatans had never seen.at least two transformers exploding. It was like fireworks during Diwali night. Suddenly the entire area plunged into darkness and since then we have no power. No electronic gadgets are working, “We never thought that the storm would be so intense. West Bengal will start a special survey in all 23 districts of the state to monitor the changing field situation in the backdrop of the coronavirus pandemic. 
May 22, 2020: Vijayawada records 46 C on 22 May 2020. Heat wave to continue in Uttar Pradesh, Rajasthan till May 25, predicts IMD. The department also stated that the heatwave will continue over coastal Andhra Pradesh and Yanam, north interior Karnataka and Tamil Nadu, Puducherry and Karaikal till Saturday.  On Friday, 22 May 2020,  the department in its morning bulletin warned that Assam and Meghalaya can witness light to moderate rainfall at most places with heavy to very heavy at isolated places very likely over west Assam and isolated heavy falls over Meghalaya during next six hours.

Fig.7 Microwave Quantum Radar 
Physicists Just Built The First Working Prototype Of A 'Quantum Radar'.In 2008, an engineer from MIT devised a way to use the features of entanglement to illuminate objects while using barely any photons. "What we have demonstrated is a proof of concept for microwave quantum radar," says quantum physicist.  Entangled particles are distinguished by having properties that correlate with one another more than you'd expect by chance. In the case of the radar, one photon from each entangled pair, described as a signal photon, is sent towards an object. The remaining photon, described as an idler, is kept in isolation, waiting for a report back. If the signal photon reflects from an object and is caught, it can be combined with the idler to create a signature pattern of interference, setting the signal apart from other random noise. As the signal photons reflect from an object, this actually breaks the quantum entanglement in the truest sense. This latest research verifies that even when entanglement is broken, enough information can survive to identify it as a reflected signal. It doesn't use much power, and the radar itself is difficult to detect, which has benefits for security applications. The biggest advantage this has over conventional radar, however, is that it's less troubled by background radiation noise, which affects the sensitivity and the accuracy of standard radar hardware."The main message behind our research is that quantum radar or quantum microwave illumination is not only possible in theory but also in practice,"
MAY 23, 2020 07:34: Heatwave hits Telugu states as scorching temperatures rise. According to the IMD, the heat wave is a combination of summer temperatures and the aftermath of Cyclone Amphan.In Andhra, Vijayawada saw a high of 46 C and the coastal town of Bapatla recorded 45.6 C . Visakhapatnam recorded 35.6 C.. Districts such as Adilabad, Nizamabad, Karimnagar, Rajanna, Siricilla, Mulugu, Bhupalapally, Nizamabad, Mahbubabad, Warangal (Urban & Rural) would also experience heatwave conditions. From Friday on wards for two days, high temperatures would likely prevail in isolated pockets over North Coastal (NCAP) and South Coastal Andhra Pradesh (SCAP) as well as Yanam. From Sunday on wards, for three days, there would likely be thunderstorms at isolated places in NCAP, Yanam and Rayalaseema, following which heatwave conditions would likely continue.

May 23, 2020 16:11 IST: Earth’s magnetic field weakening, impacting orbiting satellites: Scientists. According to scientists, one possibility of the current weakening is a sign that Earth’s magnetic field is about to reverse – in which the north and south magnetic poles switch places. Scientists say that earth’s magnetic field is gradually weakening which is resulting in technical disturbances in some satellites orbiting our planet. The magnetic field is vital for life on earth as it protects us from the harmful cosmic radiation and charged particles emitted from the sun. The field is mostly generated by the ocean of super-hot liquid iron that makes up Earth’s outer core, around 3,000 km below our feet. It creates electric currents that generate and change our electromagnetic field. This field varies in strength and direction and over the last 200 years, it has lost around 9% of its strength.

May 25, 2020: Researchers find out flickers coming from center of Milky Way. Astronomers also believe that a supermassive black hole with a mass of 4 million suns is located at the center of Sagittarius A*.  (ALMA) have detected quasi-periodic flickers coming out from Sagittarius A*, which is a radio source at the center of the Milky Way,  the reason behind it is the rotation of radio spots circling the supermassive black hole with an orbit radius smaller than the Mercury's orbit. Tomoharu Oka, a professor at Keio University in Japan said that this emission could be related to some exotic phenomena occurring in the very vicinity of the supermassive black hole.radio-wave intensity variation of Sagittarius A* for 70 minutes per day for 10 days. Then we found two trends that were the quasi-periodic variations with a typical time scale of 30 minutes and hour-long slow variations." Iwata added, "It has been known that Sagittarius A* sometimes flares up in millimeter-wavelength." Flares of Sagittarius A* have also been observed in infrared light and X-ray.

May 25, 2020 01:09 AM: Mathematics in India in the Ancient Times.The decimal place value system, which we now take for granted, gradually developed in ancient India. Its ease helped India excel in algebra, astronomy. The decimal place value system, which is extremely convenient for mathematical operations, gradually developed in India beginning with the Vedic period. For instance, in a verse in the Shukla Yajurveda (prior to 1,500 BCE), numbers are being increased from one to one trillion by taking progressively higher powers of ten: eka (1), dasha (10), shata (102 =100), sahasra (103 =1000), ayuta (104), niyuta (105), prayuta (106), arbuda (107), nyarbuda (108), samudra (109), madhya (1010), anta (1011), and paraardha (1012). Some scholars see in the term lopa (absence, disappearance) of Paanini’s Ashtaadhyaayi, a concept analogous to zero. Philosophical works such as Vyaasabhaashya on Yogasutra refer to the way the same symbol acquires different meanings in the place value system. This along with the notion of zero led to the decimal place value system. It has been acclaimed universally. The great French mathematician-physicist-astronomer of the 18th century, Simon Laplace, exclaims thus: “It is India that gave us the ingenious method of expressing all numbers by means of ten symbols, each symbol receiving a value of position as well as an absolute value … Its very simplicity and the great ease which it has lent to all computations put our arithmetic in the first rank of useful inventions. …” It is thanks to this very efficient system that Indians excelled in the fields of arithmetic, algebra, trigonometry and astronomy in the past. Shulbasutras were manuals for constructing altars of prescribed sizes and shapes, where Vedic sacrifices would be performed. In Sanskrit, shulba means ‘rope’ (for measurement) and sutras are ‘rules’, so shulbasutras mean ‘rules for measurement with ropes’. Baudhaayana, Aapastamba, Kaatyaayana and Maanava are some of the important ones. Their mathematical part deals with the construction of squares, rectangles, transformation of geometrical figures, finding the areas of sacrificial altars, etc. Baudhaayana shulbasutra is considered the oldest among them, and is estimated to be composed around 800 BCE A very clear statement of the so-called Pythagoras theorem is to be found in all the aforementioned texts. Then, there was Pingala’s Chandah-sutra (around 300 BCE) that systematized the rules for the ‘metres’ in Sanskrit poetry, and also discusses the associated mathematics. It uses combinatoric tools and what amounts to a binary representation of numbers for this. A syllable can be laghu (light), or guru (heavy). What is the number of metrical forms with gurus (or laghus) in a prastaara (layout) of metres with n syllables? This is the number of ways in which r objects can be chosen out of n objects and is called the binomial coefficient. Pingala’s sutra on this is all too brief.
