MARS : one small step for a man and the creation of new species .

From the beginning of space exploration Mars has been the centre of attraction for the scientific proposals , explorers and visionaries . Even  Wernher von Braun who was the brain behind sending humans to moon has intentionally planned the mission for mars also.

But due to its constraints Mars has been mystery for decades , It has very high rate of failure .whether its landing a probe on martian surface ,orbiting the planet or merely conducting a flyby,only 40% of previous missions have proven successful .Due to this motivational figure NASA describes landing on Mars as "seven minutes of terror".
On 26th november NASA 's InSight probe has made it to Mars . Now stubborn entrepreneur Elon Musk's SpaceX is on top gear to place man on Mars they have started building their  "Noah's Ark" the STARSHIP which will take humans to Mars . On the other hand NASA is already testing its Orion spacecraft ,overall we are all set for our voyage.

why to go mars ?  
why Columbus traveled to America ? why Marco Polo headed east ? exploration is embedded in human genome and exploration satisfies our appetite of knowledge , but going to Mars is not just about knowledge or exploration .We live in fragile planet in universe which is changing at a very fast rate so Mars is a insurance policy to us ,a backup plan which will  save life from extinction event.
problems like population ,pollution ,extinction of animals are harassing mother nature.
Challenges we will face in establishing life on Mars will make humans realize value of life and nature which today we take for granted .

creation of new species 

Said by many popular faces on earth colonizing Mars is a plan to safe guard "homo sapiens"
from extinction but this isn't easy  it will take hundreds of years to Terraform  Mars at initial stages humans will have to live underground to protect themselves from space winds or radiation because Mars does not have magnetic field and of course its gravitational field is very low as compared to earth ,If  you weight 100 kg on Earth at Mars you weight 38 kg , martian surrounding will also effect the brain and there are many factors which will affect humans physiologically as well as psychologically.

Try to think like this, on earth different climate  regions affected humans differently for example europeans living in cold regions made them white or africans living  in equatorial climate regions made them black ,chinese living in east has different facial structure these factors led to the creation of different races among human beings.  According to vedic science the locus of  our planet in solar system, effect of other planets gravitational pull as well as gravitational pull of our own moon  also affect the life on earth and these all factors together make the earth the way we look it today.And now we are going to other planet so think how it will affect the human genome, I am not talking about few hundred years I am talking about thousands of years of human evolution at martian surface and their effects on our DNA .
These is to those who are talking about safeguarding homosapiens ,homosapiens can only exist on Earth and the people, they are concern about  is the new species of human beings " Homo Martian." And I think that is also good because  "change is the law of  nature".

A.I v\s Synthetic Biology : Race to the future of technology.

Image
w ith the dawn of 21st century  technology took another turn "artificial intelligence" -in simple words AI can be defined as  brain of  machines. But do really AI is the future of technology , within its initial stages questions are being raised on it . Famous entrepreneur   Elon Musk   said "AI is a fundamental risk to the existence of human civilization  " . In the shadow of technological development another branch of technology is emerging , synthetic biology  it can be defined as the " application of engineering principles to biology ".  Due to rise of problems  like global warming ,climate change and pollution synthetic biology gives world a new hope , MIT professor Neri Oxman on her ted talk Design at itersection of technology and biology.  professor  Neri Oxman on her TED talk gives idea about synthetic biology, she explores the idea of making devices by single material with no parts . One of her famous creation that is silk pavilion   a mi

Shedding light on DARK MATTER .

Image
O n the clear starry night how many stars are you able to see at sky, hundred ,thousand may be lakh ,let me tell you if you take a needle and hold it against the sky from the tip of the needle you can see at least 1000 to 2000 galaxies  . That much amount of matter is there in the universe. well you,me,your family,earth,planets,stars, galaxies and all the matter which is visible to your eyes comprises of only 5% of the universe. Yes! you read it right only 5% credits : North Western university  so, what is there,hiding behind the darkness of the space. In early 1990's scientists studying the expansion of the universe generated a theory , the universe is full of matter and the attractive force of gravity pulls all the matter together hence instead of  expanding universe had to slow down. Then came 1998 and the observation from hubble space telescope of distant supernovae proved that universe is not slowing down instead the expansion of the universe is accelerating . That obs
