nature of compromises

People tend to compromise on things for gaining "easy state of living"...avoiding confrontations...and they can give thousand arguments about its correctness in the name of adjustments and adaptations...but what they miss is the question "at what price?"...if price is "honor/integrity of self" then this compromise only loosens ones grip over self and hence one looses ones own respect and subsequently other's also...This compromise eats away the life and ends up in "hollow living" with no honor what so ever...thats the price for easy state of living...

most go for it but some don't...some don't buck in ever...society see them as enemies since they mirror to societie's impotence...but still these people have been in existence and one encounters them many-a-times...they inspire others to live thier life "freely"..."freedom" being their supreme virtue...avoiding easy state of living has its price but no price is bigger than dropping your values...its actually pays down heavy debts onto ones life and payment becomes lifelong in terms of loss of integrity, identity, creativity and individuality...

Death of a civilization

A civilization cannot be killed from outside, its dies from inside first...Its own inmates choose irrationality and make its path towards chaos...Irrationality of many kinds...and it's actually rationals who are to blame, since they fail to take control in their hands and let it die...

This is shown beautifully in the movie "Apolocalypto"...

Its collectivist ideas, which have taken a toll on health of a society each time, but still they are so dear to its inmates that they have started loving this cancer...they love this irrationality...they love it so much that they invent ever new excuses towards its support and given a clues about its impotence, they readily shrug it off...thats how the hollowness creeps into the system and it goes blank and death for a civilization is insured...

Quality versus Quantity

Being a researcher, the question of quality versus quantity has come up many time before me. Though i have been ale to sort it out in terms of quality, i see that most of the people buck in for quantity, however trash it is. They them self know that its trash but still they do it...this article is about study of that nature.
First and most obvious reason is to avoid confrontation. Going easy way. Living cool life. Smooth sailing. But AT WHAT COST. Thats the important factor. Cost is the quality of philosophy that man holds for his life. A person bucking in for quantity to avoid confrontation will never be able to produce anything useful but will only repeat the inventions of innovators and satisfy himself with his ignorant happiness. On the other hand, the quality maker will not get fame or other things but will get self-satisfaction which becomes the self-propelling force towards creativity and which aids him to develop "new" things and ideas.
Such is the nature of choice between quality and quantity.

what is philosophy

http://www.objectivistcenter.org/cth-32-409-FAQ_Philosophy.aspx

much has been said in the above link but i would like to add some things about importance of philosophy to a man's life ingeneral. Poeple consider philosophy as a "heavy subject" and hence avoid discussion about it generally but they fail to understand that they use it every moment, especially when one has to decide. Philosophy defines a set of rules by which one drives his life. So these rules can change ones life drastically based on thier applications to different events in life. Hence they should claim supremem importance in life. Even if one does not want to discuss "technical philosophy", one should understand the basics of it and study his environment. Best thing about studying philosophy ois that you can start anytime and you dont need a pre-knowledge...

This is link for internet encyclopedia for philosophy which i found very useful for reference as its well linked to almost anything you can think upon...

simulation on personal computer for physical phenomena

There is a wonderful site www.nanohub.org which offers online simulation for anyone interested to test the laws of physics. It has some simulation related to nanotechnology also. All one need to do is to enrol to this site and atart using the imultion programs which run of internet instead of being downloaded and running on individual PCs.
I personally found many programms quite interesting.

information on internet

Following is the compilation of sites giving information about nanotechnology:

semiconductor spintronics

The field of semiconductor electronics has brought up a revolution in the field of quantum computers. Present semiconductor technology can be easily integrated with the spintronic technology to provide much needed quantum computing devices.

The word spintonics is collection of two words: Spin and Electronics.

Conventional electronics uses charge of electrons to present and transmit information. For example if +5V represent state "1" and 0.5 V represent state "0" then we still need about 10^18 electrons to represent state 1 and almost nearly 10^17 electrons to represent state 2.

In spintronic devices, instead of charge, the intrinsic property called "spin" is used to represent and transfer information. Electron has a spin of +1/2 and -1/2 each of which can represent state "0" and "1" independently. The main advantage is that here individual electrons represent a state and hence processing becomes superfast and consumes very less energy.

Challenges in present technology for spintronics is that individual spins should be controlled precisely during representation and transfer of information. This can be acheived at very low temperatures in some material but not at room temeparatures which is the actual practical range of operation.

Spins can be read electrically, magneticlaly and optically and hence these provides spintonics with different classification of sintronic materials required. Further discussions will be given henceforth as this blog grows.
