Myth of global warming.

A lot is being said about, how the greenhouse gases are contributing to global warming. A major chunk of these gases come from industrial units, and automobiles running on oil. As per widely held theory, oil  is formed by decomposition of carcass of animals of prehistoric times. With millions of cars in any given city of world, & so many vehicles, aircraft & other mode of transportation operating on oil all around the globe, it is wonder as to how many carcass of animals or dinosaurs would have dwelt on this globe, to run all these machines even for one hour ?  Theory of 'oil from dinosaurs' implies that the oil tankers that move around us, are in  fact the silos of dinosaurs' DNA!. So there has to be just more than carcass of dinosaur as source of oil on this planet. Greenhouse effect : Over simplification of larger problem. It is assumed that  greenhouse gases do not let the heat of earth crust to escape,leading to increase in globa...

Preempting China

Instead of fighting a pitched battle, it is better to fail the strategy of the opponent. Of the late a lot is being read into the modus operandi of China, which by many standards has not been up to the mark. Rather it has been predatory. It's tactics have varied beyond  the spectrum of ethics & morals observed by comity of nations, but just short of being 'acts of war'. Having lost the element of surprise due to exposure of  it's dealings under debt diplomacy, push for belt & road initiative, Confucius Institutes, it's tacit acts of meddling into internal politics of FVEY alliance & their associates etc, and due to the some  measures taken by US, Chinese economy is under pressure. But will it buckle to the extent that it can be balkanized ?. As it can anticipated, China could not display all this audacity, if their strength was just limited to trade surpluses, T-bonds & forex reserves. They have managed to create assets, eco-systems & syst...

Create robot with capacity to take independent decisions beyond it's fixed instruction set,like humans.

https://twitter.com/i/status/1050594173525536768 Watching the clip of robot moving around with such dexterity, raised another question. What if, this robot a had the capacity to take decisions like humans. ie how to alter the course, if it encounters an input which is beyond the possibilities fed into it's command structure. I t is possible to design a robot which can 'think' and take decisions out of it's command structure with considerable flexibility, if the situation warrants. Such 'thinking' robots can be of immense use in fields of space exploration, un-manned surveillance at sea etc. It can be achieved within span of about 3 years, and at an expense. For this the basic underlying logic needs to be implemented for testing.
