Random thoughts in the time of Corona

 

As uncomfortable as it is the truth must be told.

While patients are suffocating to death and their relatives desperately looking for beds in the hospital, our politicians face no such trouble, and the sufferers, by all means, are the normal people. For them, a single phone call is enough to reserve the most comfortable and luxurious cabin in Norvic or Grande whose bill would be taken care of by the national treasury.

One has to understand what is unfolding here is more than a crisis induced by the COVID. It is the manifestation of the incompetence and indifference shown by the present and past government of our country. But we often forget that we too are accomplices and are equally to be blamed if not more for this ramification. When calculated demolition of institutional safeguards was designed, the so-called intellectuals not even acquiesce, rather they fervently championed the cause with the party's flag on one's hand. The consequence was so devastating that the most revered institutions like the judiciary and universities became the recruitment center of political parties.

As of today, the government hospitals are inundated with Covid patients while private teaching hospitals are bargaining with the government imposing terms and conditions so that they can make maximum profit out of the situation.

क्वान्टम विज्ञान, प्रविधि विकास र नेपाल

उन्नाईसौं स ताब्दिका दार्शनिक हेनरी डेभिड थोरोको एउटा भनाई या द आँउछ "मानिष आफ्ना औजारहरुको औजार भएको छ।" त्यो उन्नाईसौं सताब्दिको कुरा हो, आज ‍एक्काईसौ ं सताब्दिमा मानिष औजारहरुको कस्तो औजार भएको होला त्यो आफै विचार गर्न सकिन्छ। थोरोको त्यहि 'औजार' शब्दको बिस्तारित रुप अहिलेको प्रविधि हो। प्रविधि विकासको गति सबै समय एकनास रहेको पाइदैन। पछिल्लो सय वर्षमा मात्र भएको प्रविधिको विकास हेर्ने हो भने यो सह्रशाब्दिकै प्रविधि विकास भन्दा धेरै हो।  निश्चित समयको कालखण्डमा भएका महत्वपूर्ण आवि ष्का र वा अनवेषणले आउने पुस्ताको प्रविधि विकासको तह र गति लाई मापन गर्दछन्। न्युटन र आइन्सटाइनका सिद्धान्तहरुले ब्रमाण्ड को स्थिती र प्रकृतिको रहस्य पत्ता लगाउन सहयोग गरे। दे खिएको ब्रमाण्ड किन यस्तो छ र भविष्यमा यो कस्तो हुनेछ जस्ता जटिल प्रश्नको उत्तर दिन यि सिद्धान्त हरु महत्वपूर्ण छन । प्रविधि को विकासमा पनि यि सिद्धान्तहरुले केहि महत्वपूर्ण योगदान गरे तर प्रविधि विकास को कोशेढुङ्गाको रुपमा स्कटिस वैज्ञानिक जेम्स क्लार्क म्यक्सवेललको विधुतिय गति सम्वन्धि का सिद्धान्तहरु ल...

Toughest trial of Weak Interaction

Image
Abstract: How the riddle of beta decay was solved by Fermi? How weak interaction appeared in the realm of modern physics? Why weak interaction faced series of amendments and how the problem was solved? I would try to find answer to these questions . It has been more than eighty years since Enrico Fermi informed the world that there exists a weak interaction by his famous nuclear beta decay theory, yet its importance has not faded. Various changes and modifications have been made to Fermi’s weak interaction theory during the process of formulation of Standard Model but still the fundamental idea of Fermi serves as a core part of this model. Now it is known that not only beta decay, most of the elementary particles such as muons, kaons, pions and hyperons decay via weak interaction. Years of Conundrum By the end of 1920, it was evident that there was something strange about beta decay. Alpha and gamma rays, which were also the nuclear byproduct like beta rays, had...

Vote of Confidence

  An old French proverb comes to mind," plus ça change, plus c'est la même chose”-- “The more things change, the more they remain the same.” ‘Change’ by itself is very difficult to impose. The basic human traits are deeply rooted and any change requires a lot of time, persistence, and unwavering perseverance. If we observe a broad sense of reality, things appear always in motion but the inherent cause for the change and the result, though appears in a different form, remains the same. In history and now, the reasons for the rise and fall of different empires, causes of war, the cycle of pandemics can always be attributed to the same basic human traits and behavior. Our political system has got different names over the course of time but the characters and the overall play of the politics remain the same. From monarchy to the Federal Democratic Republic, the greed, corruption, apathy, and the callousness that crept our leadership has stayed the same. As the country is fighting ...
