LITTLE MORE ON TIME GAP HYPOTHESIS

Newton's third law states that for every action in nature, there is an equal and opposite reaction.

A finer visualization of the statement - from a classical perspective - gives a feeling that there exists a time-gap between every action and reaction. It depends on the nature of action and can range from fraction of a second to years.

This was put up in my blog on 20 Jan 2017 as "it is impossible to squeeze time completely out between an action and its reaction" - The Time Gap Hypothesis. 

Consider the case of a spring glove that is about to be boxed. It is possible to alter the reaction of the spring glove, if it receives a second punch within the time gap of reaction to the first punch. The same is possible for rifle recoil. This provides us with a window of opportunity to alter expected reactions, if we intervene precisely. 

The implications of this gap, if real; are profound. 

NB: This could also lead us to the question can we split time (which is continuous)?

Time Gap Hypothesis.

Attention physicists: Can anyone please tell whether the below statement makes any sense to you.

     "It is impossible to squeeze time completely out between an   action and its reaction". 

If it makes any sense, then I would call it Time Gap Hypothesis. 

Of Lenders and Borrowers

Commercial banks or independent nations, lenders continue to swell while borrowers remain stuck 'at the receiving end'.

To Rise in Unison Against Climate Change: neither for me nor for you, but for us.

After every 940 Million Kilometers elliptical journey, the Earth finds itself warmer than what it was during immediately preceding year. Global meteorological parameters are continuously scaling upwards. 2016 will soon be declared the warmest year on record. Below are just two of the indicative links that provides more than strong indications.

It would be less exaggeration but a more likely scenario that Santa clause will soon have to order more climate-suited apparel and prefer contemporary mode of transport to sledge. Nobody knows for certain how soon will soon be? There is a 18% chance that it could be within 2025; 45% chance that it could be by 2040 and almost certainty by 2050!    (Santa images - courtesy Mr. Sajeev.C. Rajan, IIITM-K)

If white to blue transition is to the arctic, green to grey is to the tropics. With almost 40% grey, tropical city of Trivandrum, India seems to have exceeded an unknown threshold of long wave emission. This result in the cityscape acting as a hot furnace that blows up and away moisture laden clouds. [can explain reason for absolute lack of both monsoons in 2016].

An increase of 10% greenery within the cityscape will ensure precipitation of moisture bearing clouds. Since it is not going to be a fete that can be achieved in one year, we will need a lot of strong, extensive interventions to cool the furnace.

In a society that is fractured along multiple planes, does anybody know how solution(s) can be implemented? If you believe, you have an answer, let’s join hands.         

Reiterating the Need for Neutral Moderation of Innovative Ideas Submitted for Start-up Funds

In August 2016, apprehensions on the fate of ideas that get rejected by start-up funding agency were discussed  
(http://envinfoiiitmk.blogspot.in/2016/08/what-happens-to-rejected-ideas.html).

Well today, I happened to hear straight from the horse’s mouth that out of a staggering 1200 ideas submitted to a multi-national company by budding entrepreneurs; they selected 6.  This pegs the success rate at an abysmal 0.005 %.

It is too obscure to believe that 99.995 % of ideas submitted are not worthy enough.  

This re-emphasizes the need of neutral external moderation.

The quoted statistics were spilled by the company's representative who was at IIITM-K, Trivandrum today.
