Corkscrew Asteroid
A tiny asteroid looping around Earth for the past seven years is about to
leave the neighborhood.
June 9, 2006: News flash: Earth has a "second moon." Asteroid 2003 YN107
is looping around our planet once a year. Measuring only 20 meters across, the
asteroid is too small to see with the unaided eye-but it is there.
This news, believe it or not, is seven years old.
"2003 YN107 arrived in 1999," says Paul Chodas of NASA's Near Earth Object
Program at JPL, "and it's been corkscrewing around Earth ever since." Because
the asteroid is so small and poses no threat, it has attracted little public
attention. But Chodas and other experts have been monitoring it. "It's a very
curious object," he says.
Right: The typical corkscrew path of an Earth Coorbital Asteroid. [More]
Most near-Earth asteroids, when they approach Earth, simply fly by. They
come and they go, occasionally making news around the date of closest approach.
2003 YN107 is different: It came and it stayed.
"We believe 2003 YN107 is one of a whole population of near-Earth
asteroids that don't just fly by Earth. They pause and corkscrew in our vicinity
for years before moving along."

Dear friends of Archaeology and science.
Latest Archaeological Finds - Most Ancient of the world - was Arcaeological port
of Gujarat
Ancient port of Gujarat - The existence of a new archaeological site, expected
to be older than Dholavira by over 15,000 years, near Maruda Takkar hill has
been confirmed following research carried out by the Indian Space Research
Organisation (ISRO). The current site, located in an remote location, is hardly
12 km away from Pakistan. ISRO has extensively used space borne remote sensing
technology for resource inventory and environmental monitoring, though its use
in archaeological applications has been relatively recent.
The location of Maruda Takkar site is so remote that assistance of Border
Security Force is required to reach there. In fact, this site was discovered by
Archaeological Survey of India way back in 1997 and now it has started
excavation work here. The image of the Maruda Takkar was first taken in 1990 and
then a research team of ASI had also visited this site in 1997.

BHUJ: The existence of a new archaeological site, expected to be older than
Dholavira by over 15,000 years, near Maruda Takkar hill has been confirmed
following research carried out by the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO).
The current site, located in an remote location, is hardly 12 km away from
Pakistan. ISRO has extensively used space borne remote sensing technology for
resource inventory and environmental monitoring, though its use in

The location of Maruda Takkar site is so remote that assistance of Border
Security Force is required to reach there. In fact, this site was discovered by
Archaeological Survey of India way back in 1997 and now it has started
excavation work here.
Earlier, ASI has discovered a Harappan site at Kuran near Khavda in Kutch. The
image of the Maruda Takkar was first taken in 1990 and then a research team of
ASI had also visited this site in 1997.
A 100 km long, 80 metre wide river has sprung to life in the Rann of Kutch after
the January 26 quake. Clearly visible in satellite images, the river is said to
be running from Nabisar in Pakistan to Maruda Takkar in India. City-based Indian
Space Research Organisation (ISRO) scientist P S Thakker, who has charted the
river's course and archaeological sites in the Rann, says: ``The new river
appears to be extending up to Khadir Beyt (a desert island), before taking an
eastward turn up to Bela Island.''
The Indian remote sensing satellite IRS-1D images were taken on January 29 and
compared with those taken on January 4. The result showed numerous geographical
changes in the Rann area, which is out of bounds due to the hostile climate as
well as for security reasons. ``The changes appear to be of two main types -
surfacing of the rivers and upheavals and disturbances in the Rann. It is
difficult to tell from the images whether the disturbances are deep pits or
small mounds, but a large and new network of rivers and rivulets is clearly
visible,'' Thakker says.
The 23-metre resolution camera images show that the second channel comes up to
Khadir and takes a westward turn before going south up to Ekalma Temple, north
of Chobari village in Bhachau taluka. The new rivers - some of which have dried
up since the images were taken - and others might have salty or fresh water and
could be part of either the Saraswati river network or that of the Hakra that
disappeared in the 14th century.
``Even in the Moti Banni area, near Bhojardo village that lies east of Udai
village, a 24-km-long and 600-metre wide river channel has emerged. It extends
up to Lakhaba in the Little Banni region. It was full of water on January 29,''
the scientist says. Similarly, a 17-km-long, 250-metre wide channel has been
located north of Pachchham Island. Water has also been sighted near Bhurud and
Kaila villages, besides north of Jhura and Sumrasar villages in the Banni
region.
Another channel, about 20 km long and 250 metres wide, originates near Kunvar
Beyt and extends southwards to Pachchham Island, which is north-east of Kuran
village and Nirona Vandh. Yet another channel, almost six km long, originates
somewhere near Kunvar Beyt and flows southwards in the west of Khavda area. A
branch of the channel flows westwards. A river flowing from Nagarparkar desert
in Pakistan to Bela Island has also been observed in the images. Significant
disturbances are believed to have taken place in the area south-south-west of
Nada Beyt in the Great Rann, north of Santalpur taluka of Patan district and the
area west of Suigam in Vav taluka of Banaskantha district. Scientists are
awaiting confirmation of reports about the changes in these locations.
The Great Rann of Kachchha which is dry Rann having encrusted salt in the dry
season was examined in the satellite imagery. During monsoon the same area is
covered with water. The area was part of the sea for more than 1000 years. IRS
Geo-coded data of this area representing the Survey of India Toposheet no. 40L\8
was selected for site location. The image shows signs of a mighty river
(Saraswati?) flowing in this area. River flow is between 70o 15' - 70o 30' E,
the flow is north to south in direction and shows a bifurcation. The other signs
show that there might be probable sites of towns or villages, at about 24o 09' N
and 70o 28' E, 24o 13' N and 70o 16' E, 24o 02' N and 70o 29' E. A water body
at 24o 09' N and 70o 17' E could be a village tank. Agricultural areas can be
seen between 24o 11' - 24o 15' N and 70o 20' - 70o 30' E. SOI Toposheet shows
only dry Rann having only one island, Maruda Takkar, having 23m height. The
other information given is salt waste and the area remains usually flooded
during July to December.
Such signs can also be seen in the south of Jakhel village, in between Jakhel
and Chadiyana of Sami taluka. Some anomalous structures can also be seen in the
north west of Subapura village of Sami taluka Mehsana district. (SOI toposheet
no.41 M/10.) A more detailed survey is required for further confirmatory
information. It would be useful if some of these sites could be investigated
further to verify the indications seen in the satellite data.
Conclusion - Thus remote sensing technology can play an important role in
understanding the past in the context of available historical and ancient
literature. Remote sensing data can successfully be used for building up
historical records and changes that might have taken place on the surface of the
earth in the past. The data may also be used for upgrading historical atlases,
which might have been prepared using only limited knowledge, and as per the
imagination of certain scholars.
The proper planning, use and application of remote sensing techniques in
archaeology will result in economic benefits through reduction of costs of
survey. Remote sensing technique can increase efficiency, speed and data
extraction at all stages of archaeological research. Aided by the broad,
interdisciplinary scope injected by remote sensing data, archaeology may, in the
near future, transcend its traditional narrow focus. This may, in fact, be one
of the best justifications for a public, and publicly funded, remote sensing
based archaeology programme.

Dear friends of science, geology and Astronomy,
Thanks Manoj for sending a comment to the message. yes Lets hope, the current
crater in Kutch indeed turns out to be an impact crater. There are none in
Gujarat, so it would be excellent to have one in our state. every thing is only
partly known to us and Meteor striking rate on the Earth is changing with time
to time. at the present statistical data suggest so but we do not have the data
of the past records or statistics. and there is no way we go back in time and
find the truth. only way is searching for maximum places and maximum occurrences
and possibilities only. neither the present statatic's can determine that those
will follow those rules strictly. eg meter fall in area "A" does not mean next
hit will be after 4000 years only nor far from 4000 km area. means may be the
next strike be in proximate time or proximate area. those are just a data
statistics of the area of the earth /meteors strike in the time at the present
time meteor striking rate.
There is also time factor when the earth is more likely to be hit by meteors
when solar system is in a particular position in out galaxy as the solar system
is wobbling in the space in our milky way galaxy. (such recorded documentary are
available for reference in video library for a reference) and all those are also
a theoretical part and not a proofs to any thing as a concrete evidence.
many of theories do have plus and minus and scientist do agree and disagree and
majority rule in favour comes in light and rest takes time to turn it over when
time is right.
more and more places and places of civilisations we find for a meteor strike and
more and more specimens collected will help us to favour such claims only. and
for that we need many more civilisation areas. and Luckily 100s are in just
KUTCH (Saraswati civilisations) and 1000s around Indian continental area of
INDUS and SARASWATI civilisation area of the INDUS river basin and SARASWATI
river basin areas. also worth reading of a Bentonite of that's with Kutch.
Few interesting information are here just for a curiosity
a.. METEOR CLUE TO END OF MIDDLE EAST CIVILISATIONS
Satellite images of southern Iraq have revealed a two-mile-wide impact crater
caused by a meteor. The catastrophic effect of these could explain the mystery
of why so many early cultures went into sudden decline around 2300 BC. They
include the demise of the Akkad culture of central Iraq, with its mysterious
semi-mythological emperor Sargon; the end of the fifth dynasty of Egypt's Old
Kingdom, following the building of the Great Pyramids and the sudden
disappearance of hundreds of early settlements in the Holy Land.
a.. COMET-CAUSED COLLAPSE OF THIRD MILLENNIUM BC CIVILIZATIONS?
Swarm C: Cl - 2 Strike Coincident with the previous appearance of Comet
Hale-Bopp in 2213 BC, something singularly dreadful seems to have happened on
our small fragile blue planet. Not only does it appear that both the ancient
Mesopotamian and Egyptian civilizations totally collapsed for a century or more,
there is evidence of a sudden catastrophic-but-temporary climate change at this
time. Is there a "bad weather" connection? Should we be concerned with the
connection if there is one? Swarm C: Cl - 2 Strike
Sodom and Gomorrah may have been destroyed by debris from a comet, startling new
archaeological and astronomical research suggests. Another bombardment from
space may have brought on the Dark Ages.
The research, to be presented to a special conference at Cambridge University
this summer, provides dramatic evidence for an extraterrestrial cause for the
wholesale collapse of several civilisations around 2200 BC. [Experts believe
that the Biblical account of the destruction of the 'Cities of the Plain' may be
an early description of what happened.]
a.. NATURAL CATASTROPHES DURING BRONZE AGE CIVILIZATIONS - 1997
Swarm C: Cl - 1 Strike
The evidence of a great cataclysm between 2200 BC and 2190 BC is so compelling
that on this basis we can't dismiss it. On the other hand, Courty is right in
her theory of a major occurrence which I would date between 2350 BC and 2340 BC.
I suggest that there really were two disparate events, a local one in Near East
2200-2190 BC and 150 years later, 2200-2190 BC, (likely means 2350 - 2340 BC) a
global one.
a.. EVIDENCE FOR MAJOR IMPACT EVENTS IN THE LATE THIRD MILLENNIUM BC
Swarm C: Cl - 1 Strike
Mesopotamia and other above-mentioned places were not the only victims of the
2200 BC event. As far away as in China, the Hongsan culture fell in pieces at
this same time. This, if not anything else, is an indication of the mighty
character of the event, and bolsters us to consider it as global.
a.. CLUES TO BRONZE AGE COMET STRIKE - 25/05/1998
Swarm C: Cl - 1 Strike
Evidence is growing that a huge comet smashed into the Earth about 4,000 years
ago. Scientists are pointing to studies of tree-rings in Ireland which have
revealed that about 2,354-2,345 BC there was an abrupt change to a colder
climate.

Partly, there does not seem to be any connection with the contents of what you
said in your mail and the new report on the crater. Both are two different
cases.
According to the law we expect one meteorite fall every 4000 sq km in 4000
years, on the average. So the news on the crater does not come as a surprise.
Further investigation and confirmation is awaited on the crater part. I am not
aware if any shocked quartz, glass, tektites or impactites other than those
mentioned in the list has been found yet.
Also note there are several other Indian craters already in pipeline and
stronger evidence on those craters have already been established. The only
difference it that the scientists working on those craters, like all true
scientists, have not gone to press immediately. Remember Issac Newton waited for
over 20 years to make his laws public.
Lets hope, the current crater in Kutch indeed turns out to be an impact crater.
There are none in Gujarat, so it would be excellent to have one in our state.
Best wishes
Manoj

Dear friends of science and astronomy,
Thank you for forwarding news of Times of India, now every thing is coming
closer to the truth Yes that's is true that meteors did hit the area of kutch
(not only kutch but also areas of Rajasthan) and that was the time of
destruction of Saraswati and INDUS civilisation on time scale. and that is why
the theory was published before six years ago in 2006 , and that the loss of
those civilisation area of Saraswati and Indus (DHOLAVIRA and KOTI Kuran and
GADHWARI wadi in MEGHPAR on the banks of RUDRANI river - tributary of NAGMATI
river of KERA). We have traced those many fragments of meteors from that area.
to conclude and to prove that has been told in LOKVAYAKAs of that area of lost
Civilisations.
We have plenty of such specimens of our museum collection and if proved with the
time is RIGHT that's proves the theory as well. but the problem is we can not
find radioactivity after such a long time of 5000 years. as I sent you a details
of RADIOACTIVITY of IRIDIUM content of meteors are not there after 5000 years
and carbon dating is not reliable for this purpose.

Did a meteorite strike Kutch 5,000 years ago?
By Prashant Rupera/TNN (Times of INDIA)
Vadodara: Did a meteorite strike Luna in Banni region of Kutch 5,000 years ago?
Geologists in Vadodara have found fragments of iron-rich rocks that they say are
the first evidence of a meteorite strike.
Earlier, scientists with Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) and
Indian Institute of Science (IISc), Bangalore, had hinted that a meteorite had
struck Kutch around 5,000 years ago. Now, geologists in Vadodara are upbeat as
they have recovered fragments of rocks from the circular depression of Luna
which indicate that a meteorite had struck in the region.
Professor R V Karanth and his PhD student Mahendra Gadhvi have identified the
meteorite impact site and have sent the rock to National Geophysical Research
Institute (NGRI), Hyderabad, for a detailed report. Scientists will try to find
which solar system the meteorite came from and whether it affected human
settlement in the region.
"Earlier, Dr P S Thakkar of ISRO had stated that the circular depression in
Luna is evidence of a meteorite strike. During our visit, we found that the
crater formed due to the strike was one kilometre in diameter. We have also
recovered dark coloured heavy iron-rich rocks, which are fragments of a
meteorite," says Karanth.
Gadhvi adds that such black coloured fragments of iron-rich rocks have pits
and are also magnetic. "Interestingly, the region of Banni is not formed of hard
rocks. That itself provides enough evidence that such an activity occurred at
the site," says Gadhvi.
Karanth adds that some meteorites are silicates (formed of silica rocks),
while others are iron-nickel meteorites, which are known as metallic meteorites.
"The one found in Luna is a metallic meteorite. The fragments are found in the
periphery of the crater," he says.
Moreover, the water collected in crater during monsoon is drinkable against
salty water in other areas of Banni. Quoting research done by IISc's retired
professor R N Iyengar, Karanth says the 'Skanda Purana' also mentions a natural
disaster which struck western India.
Iyengar in his paper on 'Profile of a natural disaster in ancient Sanskrit
Literature' published in 2003 in Indian Journal of History of Science has stated
that the huge light and explosion mentioned in the 'Purana' is actually a
meteorite strike.
"While we have to scientifically establish the dating of the fragment,
Iyengar's paper states that the disaster had struck some 5,000 years ago," says
Karanth.
Presently, the crater created by the meteorite strike is two to three metre
deep. But scientists feel that the crater might be seven to eight metres deep in
the past, which got filled up due to deposition of sediments.The scientists add
that pockets of Harappan civilisation existed in Luna some 4,000 years back. In
fact, Luna was discovered as a site by renowned archaeologist S R Rao.

Subject: KALASH KUMBH) valley civilisation and Chitral Culture civilisations in
the area of NW frontier of Pakistan - in Hindukush valley area and khaibar
valley area of the Himalayan region
Dear friends of cultural Science and Nature
Civilisations of Indus and Saraswati did disappeared long before with the time
but as some civilisation moved upstream of the Indus to survive from the attacks
from outsiders. so they moved deep in Himalayan hindukush and khaibar valley
areas. so they remained undetected and survived till today. Known of those are
KALASH (KALASH - KUMBH ) valley civilisation and Chitral Culture civilisations
in the area of NW frontier of Pakistan - in Hindukush valley area and khaibar
valley area of the Himalayan region. both the valley area are on the tributaries
of INDUS RIVER BASIN - traced on the satellite maps of Indus river basin and
confirmed those are on the banks of tributaries of INDUS RIVER BASIN only.
Satellite vies are in out library to explore.
When most of the area is loosing a traditional culture with an effect of the
modernisation. there are some isolated areas are still maintaining their
traditions. Though there has been effects of the Political and religious take
over but as those are Isolated remote area of Himalaya valley are of Khaibar
Ghat and hindukush valley of Himalaya they could retain the original traditions
but soon will be lost if not supported.
Below are some of pictures - 6 - included in mails but if not found with mail -

Dear Docs and friends of medics and science,
Genes lab studies mental health @
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/scotland/highlands_and_islands/4989956.stm
A new laboratory has opened in Inverness to assist research into the roles
played by genes in mental health.
The lab will study genes to help mental health research
The Ness Foundation has been trying to improve understanding of schizophrenia
and autism. Its new lab aims to boost analysis of skin and breath tests to
diagnose symptoms of mental health earlier. Eventually it could lead to a kit
for GPs to test quickly whether a patient is exhibiting mental problems or is
suffering from another illness. It is the first genetics lab to open in
Inverness and is housed within the foundation's offices in Dochfour Business
Centre.
Douglas Mundie, foundation chairman, said: "Diagnosing mental health problems
like schizophrenia and autism are still based on the skill and experience of
trained psychiatrists. "The skin test we have developed at The Ness Foundation
has shown that it is possible to diagnose further the early symptoms of
schizophrenia when used in conjunction with existing clinical evaluation. "We
believe that we will be able to distinguish between other problems such as
depression and drug-induced psychosis, which can often exhibit confusingly
similar symptoms." The foundation is an associate partner of UHI Millennium
Institute, a further education body trying to set up the Highlands' first
university.

Andromeada galaxy data http://www.newscientist.com/article.ns?id=dn7443

Mean Diameter Apparent: 5° 12' Actual: c.200,000 light years
Hubble Type Spiral class b
Note: the diameter value above refers to the maximum extent of the galaxy's
halo. The brighter central parts are approximately 3° in diameter, corresponding
to an actual value of about 120,000 light years
Distance c.2,300,000 light years
New size Size 220,000
So what actualy has happened was the distance was incorrect and now corrected?
or the angular size was incorrect and corrected? Or both corrected and the Mass
and gravitation is bigger than we thought? Or an even big blunder mistake again
than before?
We had conversation with NASA scientists and astronomers for the correction of
the size of Andromeda galaxy 2years ago. apparent angular size of 178' wich
was about 3 degree size (about 5.75 sun size)
and on recent data diameter / distance gives us 220,000 light years / 2,300,000
light years = 0.09652 = anti tan 5.346 degree =320.75' (about 10.38 sun size)
So naturally with the change of Distance and or a mass recalculations the
gravitational pull of Andromeda will be greater than previously thought and so
And all calculations of colliding Andromeda (Deviyani )and milky way (mandakini)
is all incorrect and nor it will be quicker and more closer than that was
thought before. so hope fully Collision of galaxy will destroy life and whole of
the solar system sooner than expected 2bn years and sun will not survive more
than that and sun life span is needed to be recalculated again.

Dear friends Of science and astronomy,
UFO study finds no sign of aliens
The 400-page report was kept secret for six years
Alleged UFO sightings
A confidential Ministry of Defence report on Unidentified Flying Objects has
concluded that there is no proof of alien life forms.
In spite of the secrecy surrounding the UFO study, it seems citizens of planet
Earth have little to worry about.
The report, which was completed in 2000 and stamped "Secret: UK Eyes Only", has
been made public for the first time.
Only a small number of copies were produced and the identity of the man who
wrote it has been protected.
His findings were only made public thanks to the Freedom of Information Act,
after a request by Sheffield Hallam University academic Dr David Clarke.
The four-year study - entitled Unidentified Aerial Phenomena in the UK - tackles
the long-running question by UFO-spotters: "Is anyone out there?"
The answer, it seems, is "no".
HAVE YOUR SAY
Never in thirty years of working out of doors at all hours have I seen
anything that cannot be explained by a few seconds reasoned thought
Barry P, Havant, UK
Send us your comments
The 400-page report puts it like this: "No evidence exists to suggest that the
phenomena seen are hostile or under any type of control, other than that of
natural physical forces."
It adds: "There is no evidence that 'solid' objects exist which could cause a
collision hazard."
So if there are no such things as little green men in spaceships or flying
saucers, why have so many people reported seeing them?
Well, here is the science bit.
"Evidence suggests that meteors and their well-known effects and, possibly some
other less-known effects are responsible for some unidentified aerial
phenomena," concludes the report.
Meteors may have been responsible for some UFO sightings
"Considerable evidence exists to support the thesis that the events are almost
certainly attributable to physical, electrical and magnetic phenomena in the
atmosphere, mesosphere and ionosphere.
"They appear to originate due to more than one set of weather and
electrically-charged conditions and are observed so infrequently as to make them
unique to the majority of observers."
People who claim to have had a "close encounter" are often difficult to persuade
that they did not really see what they thought they saw. The report offers a
possible medical explanation.
"The close proximity of plasma related fields can adversely affect a vehicle or
person," states the report.
"Local fields of this type have been medically proven to cause responses in the
temporal lobes of the human brain. These result in the observer sustaining (and
later describing and retaining) his or her own vivid, but mainly incorrect,
description of what is experienced."
There are, of course, other causes of UFOs - aeroplanes with particularly bright
lights, stray odd-shaped balloons and strange flocks of birds, to name but a
few.
The report admits its findings will not persuade everyone
Yet, it will be difficult to convince everyone that there is a rational
explanation for all mysterious movements in the sky.
Some UFO-spotters believe governments will always cover up the truth about UFOs,
because they are afraid of admitting that there is something beyond their
control.
It is not clear how much time and effort the MoD has spent looking at the skies
in recent years, but it appears there are no plans for an in-depth UFO report
like the one written in 2000.
A MoD spokesperson said: "Both this study and the original "Flying Saucer
Working Party" [already in public domain in the national Archives] concluded
that there is insufficient evidence to indicate the presence of any genuine
unidentified aerial phenomena.
"It is unlikely that we would carry out any future studies unless such evidence
were to emerge."

Subject: Ancient Stone Ax Found in Tamil Nadu with Indus Script
To: drbhudia@...
2. Ancient Stone Ax Found in Tamil Nadu with Indus Script
www.hindu.com
CHENNAI, INDIA, May 2, 2006: (HPI note: The significance of this discovery is
unclear. Additional links are given at the end for more technical information.)
A Neolithic stone celt with the Indus Valley script has been discovered by a
school teacher, V. Shanmuganathan, in a village called Sembian-Kandiyur near
Mayiladuthurai in Nagapattinam district, Tamil Nadu. The celt, a polished
hand-held stone axe, has four Indus Valley signs on it. The artefact with the
script can be as old as 1,500 BCE, that is, 3,500 years old. The four signs were
identified by epigraphists of the Tamil Nadu Department of Archaeology,
according to its Special Commissioner, T. S. Sridhar.
Iravatham Mahadevan, one of the world's foremost experts on the Indus script,
called the find "the greatest archaeological discovery of a century in Tamil
Nadu." The discovery proved that the Indus script had reached Tamil Nadu. He
estimated the date of the artefact with the sc ript to be around 1500 BCE. "I
have cautiously and conservatively put it between 2000 BCE. and 1500 BCE.," Mr.
Mahadevan said. It was in the classical Indus script. He ruled out the
possibility of the celt coming from North India because "the material of this
stone is clearly of peninsular origin."
Harappa and Mohenjo-daro, where hundreds of seals with the Indus script were
discovered, are in present-day Pakistan. Neolithic means New Stone Age and it is
datable in India between 2000 BCE. and 1000 BCE.
According to Mr. Mahadevan, the first sign on the celt depicted a skeletal body
with ribs. The figure is seated on his haunches, body bent and contracted, with
lower limbs folded and knees drawn up. The second sign showed a jar. Hundreds of
this pair have been found on seals and sealings at Harappa. Mr. Mahadevan read
the first sign as "muruku" and the second sign as "an." (HPI note: There is no
accepted translation of the Indus script. ) In other words, it is "Murukan." The
earliest references in Old Tamil poetry portrayed him as a "wrathful killer,"
indicating his prowess as a war god and hunter. The third sign looked like a
trident and the fourth like a crescent with a loop in the middle.
Mr. Mahadevan commented that the latest discovery was very strong evidence that
the Neolithic people of Tamil Nadu and the Indus Valley people "shared the same
language, which can only be Dravidian and not Indo-Aryan." He added that before
this discovery, the southernmost occurrence of the Indus script was at Daimabad,
Maharashtra on the Pravara River in the Godavari Valley.

Dear Docs and friends of medics and science,
Research suggests levels of autism have increased by ten-fold over the last
decade. But nobody really knows why there has been such a dramatic increase or
what causes it.
Is it linked to the MMR vaccine?
Concern over a link between the mumps, measles and rubella vaccine were raised
after a study by Dr Andrew Wakefield published in the Lancet in 1998 claimed MMR
might trigger autism. However, no research has ever proved a link, and the
overwhelming majority of experts believe the vaccine is safe. The latest
research from Japan studied autism rates in over 31,000 children up to the age
of seven, who were born before and after the withdrawal of the MMR jab in that
country. It was found that autism rates continued to rise after the triple
vaccine was withdrawn in 1993, whereas rates would have been expected to fall if
the jab was a major cause.
'Autistic' mice offer gene clue
The scientists were investigating what happens in brain cells
Scientists have created "autistic" mice by deleting a single gene in key parts
of the brain.
US researchers found the mice had traits such as poor social interaction and
high sensitivity. They say the findings, published in the Neuron, could point
the way to better One UK expert said the findings were interesting, but needed
much more work before they could be applied to humans.
It would be really exciting if it turned out that we've zeroed in on the
anatomical regions where things go wrong in autistic patients understanding
ofthe causes of autism. Dr Luis Parada, University of Texas
An autistic spectrum disorder is a developmental disability that affects the way
a person communicates and interacts with those around them. Such disorders tend
to emerge in childhood, and affect about 90 in 10,000 people. Boys tend to be
affected more often than girls.
Unsocial behaviour
The University of Texas team looked at mice where the Pten gene - which has
already been linked to other brain disorders - was deleted in the mature nerve
cells in the cerebral cortex and hippocampus areas of the brain. These regions
are associated with higher brain function such as learning and memory. The mice
behaved in a number of socially abnormal ways, compared to another group of mice
from the same litter.
The genetically altered mice were socially less skilled, being far less likely
to be curious about new animals coming into the cage. They also showed the same
level of interest in an empty cage and in one containing another mouse -
mirroring the behaviour of children with autistic spectrum disorders. The
genetically altered mice were also less likely to build nests or look after
their young, but were more sensitive to stressful stimuli, such as loud noises
or being picked up. An examination of their brains showed they also had the
increased brain volume and enlarged heads seen in people with autistic spectrum
disorders
'Intriguing'
Dr Luis Parada, director of the Centre for Developmental Biology at the
University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center in Dallas, who led the study,
said: "It would be really exciting if it turned out that we've zeroed in on the
anatomical regions where things go wrong in autistic patients, regardless of how
the autism occurs." Anthony Wynshaw-Boris and Joy Greer from the University of
California San Diego School of Medicine in La Jolla, writing in the same
journal, say the findings are "intriguing". But they caution that the research
does provide the complete answer as there were other behaviours seen in people
with autistic spectrum disorders - such as repetitive behaviours - which were
not seen in the mice.
Professor Simon Baron Cohen, of the Autism Research Centre in Cambridge, added
that the research " may have some relevance to understanding the genetic basis
of autism spectrum conditions" because the mouse behaviour mirrored that of a
subgroup of people with autistic spectrum conditions. But he added: "Social
abnormalities in a mouse may be caused by very different factors to human social
abnormalities. "Further human, clinical studies will be needed to test if PTEN
is a susceptibility gene for autistic spectrum disorders.
"But this new study adds to our understanding of how genes expressed in the
brain may have specific functions related to neuroanatomy and behavior."

Dear friends Of science and astronomy,
India's eye in the sky
Far away from public glare, a team of top-notch scientists are working at
building Astrosat, a unique observatory that will explore the invisible universe
When Krishnaswamy Kast u r i r a n g a n walked into the auditorium at
the D.Y.Patil College of Engineering in Navi Mumbai a couple of years ago, the
chatter quickly gave way to hushed tones. It wasn't everyday the awestruck
audience got an opportunity to listen to the chief of the Indian Space Research
Organisation (ISRO). His PowerPoint presentation started off as a routine one
and even managed to elicit a few yawns. Those familiar with India's space
programme knew all of it. And then, without a hint, he shifted gears and jaws
started to drop.
On the drawing board, he said, were plans to launch a revolutionary
new space observatory. Called the Astrosat, it will weigh 1.6 tonnes and explore
deep space for five years. It will study the stars and other sources of high
radiation which will eventually help mankind understand the universe better.
When done, it will catapult India into an exclusive league of nations that have
the wherewithal to put something like this into space. The minute his
presentation was done, an overwhelmed audience mobbed him.
Cut now to the Tata Institute of Fundamental Research (TIFR), a
60-minute drive from the auditorium where Kasturirangan first spoke on the
mission. Ensconced in its idyllic environment is P C Agarwal, a self-effacing
space scientist and now Astrosat's principal investigator. His excitement is
palpable. "When the Astrosat finally goes up, Indian astronomers can study the
invisible universe," he says. "Of course, the data we gather will be available
to astronomers from all over the world," he quickly adds.
What he means by an invisible universe is fairly simple. Looking into
space from Earth is limited due to the filtering and distortion that occurs in
the atmosphere that envelopes our planet. But when you put an observatory into
space, above the atmosphere, you get around this problem.
What makes the Astrosat even more unique is that unlike similar
missions put in place by countries like the US, Germany and Japan, this
satellite will cover multiple energy frequencies. "That will allow us to
understand what's going on in exotic stars like neutron stars, black holes and
active galaxies," Agarwal added.
When the mission was being put in place, the scientists working on it
were clear that it would largely have to be an indigenous mission with most of
the instruments designed and fabricated in the country. To prove his point, he
takes me across his room to a mezzanine floor buzzing with activity. The first
thing the untrained eye catches is something that seems unusually large.
Apparently, it's what the scientists call a thermovac chamber. It simulates a
space-like environment and was built in Nashik, a six hour drive from Mumbai.
Peep around a little more and you'll spot a cadmium zinc telluride
imager. Offers A R Rao, a scientist working on this mission rather helpfully,
"This is something we recently acquired from Israel. It can point energies from
X-rays very precisely." Incidentally, X-rays in the universe are sudden bursts
of energy from distant astronomical objects. "This instrument will help us study
objects in space a lot more deeply and holds the potential to revolutionise our
understanding of astronomy and physics," he adds.
You don't have to look to hard to spot K P Singh, yet another
scientist on the project working intently. "I'm in charge of the soft X-Ray
imaging telescope. It's the first time we're attempting anything like this in
India," he says in a very matter-of-fact tone. When done, this instrument will
measure the energy X-rays emit. That will eventually help astronomers figure out
where in the universe it originated from.
Work on various parts of the mission is in progress at other labs in
the country. This includes ISRO's Satellite Centre, the Indian Institute of
Astrophysics, the Raman Research Institute in Bangalore, the Inter-University
Centre for Astronomy and Astrophysics, Pune, and Physical Research Laboratory,
Ahmedabad.
Six months prior to the actual launch, all the various parts that have
to finally take flight will be dispatched to Bangalore. This is where it will
all be integrated with the satellite. Having done that, the satellite will be
transported to the Satish Dhawan Space Centre at Sriharikota near Chennai for
mating with a rocket before take off.
The rocket will eventually take Astrosat to an altitude of 650
kilometres above Earth and deploy it on the intended mission. Having done that,
Astrosat will start transmitting the data to ISRO's telemetry and tracking
centre near Bangalore. The information collected here will then weave its way to
the Indian Science Data Centre for dissemination to various universities and
research centres for analysis. Now to keep your fingers crossed and wait until
2008.

Dear Docs and friends of medics and science,
Probiotics may help ease gut disorders linked to long-term stress such as
Crohn's disease, research suggests. @
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/health/4938020.stm
Probiotics may ease gut disorders Numerous probiotics are available
A team at Canada's McMaster University analysed gut tissue taken from rats put
in stressful situations. Animals fed drinking water containing probiotic
bacteria showed less signs that harmful bugs were mobilising to cause damage.
The gut study suggests probiotic bacteria literally crowd out their harmful
peers.
As we cannot always remove stress, it would be helpful if we could find new ways
to ameliorate its effects
Chronic stress is known to be implicated in the development of irritable bowel
syndrome and in the worsening of symptoms of inflammatory bowel disease, such as
Crohn's and ulcerative colitis. It also sensitises the gut, producing allergies
to certain foodstuffs. The researchers designed their experiements to try to
produce psychological stress in rats similar to that seen in humans. This was
done by placing the animals on small platforms surrounded by water. Half the
rats were fed drinking water containing probiotic bacteria in the form of
Lactobacillus helveticus and Lactobacillus rhamnosus for a period of seven days
before and during the stress sessions.
Sticky bacteria
Analysis showed that exposure to stress made the animals' guts 'leaky', and
increased the amount of potentially harmful bacteria sticking to the cells
lining the gut wall. Harmful bacteria were also detected in the mesenteric lymph
nodes, which drain fluid coming from the intestine, indicating that bacteria had
entered the body and activated the immune system. However, probiotic treatment
minimised the changes in chemical signalling and prevented bacterial
'stickiness' and movement to the mesenteric lymph nodes. The researchers believe
that probiotics probably compete for space with harmful bacteria, helping to
dampen down inflammatory responses. They say their use offers a potentially
promising approach to the management of intestinal problems caused by stress.
Professor Alastair Forbes, medical director of the digestive health charity Core
and an expert in gastroenterology at University College Hospital, London, said
the study presented a "reasonable hypothesis". He warned research on rats was a
long way from finding a similar effect in humans. But he said previous work had
shown that people who drank probiotics did not have a significantly raised total
level of bacteria - suggesting there might be some truth in the theory that good
and harmful bacteria might compete for space. However, he said it was possible
that probiotics also exerted some sort of biochemical effect on other bacteria.
"As we cannot always remove stress, it would be helpful if we could find new
ways to ameliorate its effects," he said.

Dear Docs and friends of medics and science,
Vaccines at birth a possibility Agents could be added to vaccines to boost the
immune response
A study has shown that vaccinating newborn babies might be possible.
Currently, most immunisations are given to babies at two months of age because
they are unable to mount an immune response to the majority of vaccines. But US
scientists have found a way to stimulate an immune response in newborns,
following the discovery of a type of molecule present at birth. The team,
writing in the journal Blood, say infant mortality could be reduced if babies
are vaccinated at birth. Newborn babies have an immature immune system. This,
coupled with their reduced response to most vaccines, leaves very young babies
vulnerable to infections. Dr Ofer Levy, lead researcher But immunologists from
the Children's Hospital, Boston, say they have found a molecule, called
Toll-like receptor 8, which could be stimulated to boost immune responses and
enablevaccination.
We believe we have stumbled across the molecular holy grail of neonatal
immunology
First defence
Toll-like receptors, or TLRs, are found on the surface of certain types of white
blood cells, and are the first line of defence against infection. They detect
the presence of invading bacteria and viruses, and trigger the production of
cytokines, a type of protein, that cause other immune cells to mount a defence
against infection. Babies, like adults, have 10 kinds of TLRs, but unlike in
adults, most, when stimulated, do not trigger this kind of immune response.
This, according to the researchers, could be an evolutionary factor, whereby a
baby's immune system is inactivated during pregnancy so as to prevent attacking
its mother's.
However, the researchers discovered that one of the TLRs, TLR-8, was an
exception and could be stimulated by several compounds to produce an immune
response. Dr Ofer Levy, lead researcher on the study and an immunologist from
Harvard Medical School, said: "These are exactly the kinds of responses you need
to get good vaccine responses."
New vaccines
These compounds could perhaps given to babies alongside vaccines, he said, to
boost the neonatal vaccine response, thereby enabling vaccination of newborns.
"We believe we have stumbled across the molecular holy grail of neonatal
immunology." His team will now carry out further studies to test this
possibility in animals and eventually in babies. He said his findings could have
real practical benefits. "In the Western world we tend to vaccinate babies at
two, four and six months - this means that we leave a window of susceptibility,"
said Dr Levy. "If we could come up with a way to get the system to work at
birth, then you would close that window of susceptibility." From a global health
perspective, he said, there is evidence that babies in the developing world have
the highest rate of contact with the healthcare system at birth, compared to the
rest of their childhoods. "And if a vaccine could be given at birth, you will
achieve better vaccine coverage rates," he said.
But Adam Finn, professor of paediatrics from Bristol University, said it was too
early to say whether this research could change vaccination. "This is an
interesting observation about one aspect of a baby's immune system that appears
to work quite well and which could, theoretically, be exploited to make vaccines
more effective in the future," said Professor Finn. "But it is important to
remember that it is a preliminary observation."

Dear Docs, friends of Science and Medicine,
"Scientists adarakh Khake piche pade" LET US enjoy our ADARAKH TEA - Ginger may
fight ovarian cancer US scientists believe.
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/health/4876056.stm (More going to back to traditions
and naturopathy and ayurveda)
University of Michigan researchers announced at the American Association of
Cancer Research that tests show ginger kills cancer cells. The study also found
that the spice had the added benefit of stopping the cells from becoming
resistant to treatment. But UK cancer experts said that, while ginger may in the
future form a basis of a new drug, more research was needed to corroborate the
findings. Ginger is already known to ease nausea and control inflammation, but
the findings by the US team offer cancer patients new hope. Researchers used
ginger powder, similar to that sold in shops, which they dissolved in a solution
and applied to ovarian cancer cells.
They found it caused the cells to die in all the tests done. But it was the way
in which the cells died which offered even more hope. The tests demonstrated two
types of death - apoptosis, which is essentially cell suicide, and autophagy, a
kind of self-digestion. Report author Rebecca Liu said: "Most ovarian cancer
patients develop recurrent disease that eventually becomes resistant to standard
chemotherapy, which is associated with apoptosis.
"If ginger can cause autophagic cell death in addition to apoptosis, it may
circumvent resistance to conventional chemotherapy." The researchers warned the
results were very preliminary and they plan to test whether they can obtain
similar results in animal studies.
Side-effects
But they added the appeal of ginger was that it would have virtually no
side-effects and would be easy to administer as a capsule. Henry Scowcroft,
science information officer for Cancer Research UK, said previous research had
shown that ginger extract can stop cancer cell growing so it was possible that
ginger could form the basis of a new drug.
But more work was needed before firm conclusions could be drawn, he added. "This
study doesn't mean that people should dash down to the supermarket and stockpile
ginger. "We still don't know whether ginger, in any form, can prevent or treat
cancers in animals or people."

Dear friends of Science maths and astronomy,
Type mistake Correction Please read MOON instead Sun in sentence below in
previous mail / message to the groups -
Photographs to see if what was the angle of entrance and exit behind moon disk.
that may not be necessary from the middle of the sun but different place on
earth has different angles . so better the results are taken from similar
Latitude to compare.

Hello Dear Shireen, wish you good luck for Physics with Maths and for astronomy
for further learnings.
Welcome to write me and pleased to know your interests in astronomy and physics
and maths too , but I surprised to know that you did not put your question to
the astronomy groups? some one must be doing that work - if not by them selves
must be using some internet use. did any one in group put the data on the group
message or did any one presented the method of calculation and actual results of
their calculations with their answers of figures? is any one does not know what
to do with the results they will be using the ready made forms available from
the internet source.
any way hope your maths is good and for a trigonometric calculation we need to
tale at least on base - knows either distance of the moon (which is changing
every time from mini to maxi) OR the diameter of the Moon/Earths diameter (ready
made or derived by actual reading of experimental results) when the sun is on
over head @ Local time on that longitude and latitudes. (eg On 21 June - on
23.5N at the local time of the Longitude and not the IST)
I have seen your results and realised your mistake as reading from 2-1 is not
near the reading 4-3 - so you have made mistakes in reading 3/4 as you say no 3.
similarly 3-1 is not near to 4-2 but still we may use 4-2 as reliable reading.
to measure angle of the moon in the sky. eg say 0.53 degree approximate. and if
you know the distance of moon at that time you can find the Diameter of the MOON
or visa versa.
Also we need to take multiple readings for different places of the Earth as we
use that distance on the Earth as a triangle base to measure the angle with the
moon. or one can use their own reading for just to know the facts. but accuracy
is better with multiple source of readings or multiple readings at the place.
You also did not sent me any photographs to see if what was the angle of
entrance and exit behind moon disk. that may not be necessary from the middle of
the sun but different place on earth has different angles . so better the
results are taken from similar Latitude to compare.
From your results you can use one only and draw a circle of say 20cm diameter
and also use your photograph picture to adjust to 20 Cm diameter and print that
out for all contacts. and draw a line for points 1/2 - S to 3/4 F- measure that
length and time taken by moon to travel that distance. S to F SF.
Diameter you adjusted was 20 cm so compare the ration 20/SF. multiply by the
time for distance SF that will give you a time of the moon to move in space
equal to distance of diameter of the MOON.
SO what's the speed of the moon in the space (is changing from max to Min
according from the distance from the Earth and calculations) or use ready made
data sours as every one does as no one knows how to do that.
sample example - say moon distance is D and diameter is R so Moon travels 360
degrees around the Earth in about 28.5 days is about 2 pai R = 2x3.14x300000 km
approx = 1884956 km in 28.5 days x24 hours x 3600 Sec = 2462400 sec so 1884956
Mk / 2462400 s =speed of moon is 0.765495 km /s.
you calculate on your readings and compare from this - how long it took the time
in sec for 3-1/ or 4-2 and at that above speed the distance travelled by moon
at that SF and what was the ratio of MOON diameter and SF and hope fully one can
calculate the approximate diameter of MOON at Moon Equator GOOD LUCK

Subject: need your guidance sir...
Dear Sir
Well let me first introduce myself. I am Shireen Gangal. I live in Rasayani.its
about 55km from Mumbai. I am greatly interested in Astronomy. Also I am from the
same group as you are i.e. "astronomyclubindai." I have read few of your mails
to the group so thought to write to you.
To tell you more about me I have just given my 12th science exam. I am greatly
interested in physics and astrophysics and have decided to opt for career in
physics: may be B.Sc and further! I have a 5" reflector telescope taken from
Techno Vision System. I also have just bought digcam. Also I regularly visit
Vangani sky observation programs arranged by Khagol Mandal [if you know]
Regarding astro I had given only Olympiad last year and cleared first level but
could not go further for camp due lack of guidance. That's all about my
Astronomy!! Just a basic huge interest!!!
As you know there was occultation of Spica on 13th. I had synchronized my clock
with Abhay Deshpande Sir [u must be knowing him] I have taken the timings but I
don't know what to do further. I mean what's the use of occultation? I have
heard of some calculations to be done further for finding earth-moon distance
and moon diameter etc. I am eager to calculate something on the basis of my
timings!! Can you please guide me for the same?
These are my exact occultation timings:
First contact: 09:10:33 pm
Second contact: 09:11:04 pm
Third contact: 09:49:22pm
Fourth contact: 09:50:48 pm
To be frank I was not able to properly see the third contact and so not sure
about exact timing. It was the first time I observed the occultation so I was
searching for the star before third contact! Rest all timings are exact as per
my obs. I also took photos as Hrishikesh Joglekar sir told me that though star
is not visible in photo still for moon's alignment they are necessary. Then what
to do with those photos?
I would be highly obliged if you spare some time and guide me in solving my
"SMALL DOUBT"
Thank you,
Shireen.

Hello everyone
I have a question on earth sun system
Q. If the size of the sun is reduced to 9/10 its present size
1. By what factor will gravitational force vary?lease show the
required calculations.
2. What will be the changes on the orbit, semi-major axis, period
velocity etc of the earth?

Dear friends of Science and Astronomy, Venus probe returns first images @
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/sci/tech/4907866.stm
The Virtis image shows a "vortex" over the south pole
Mariner 10 took this image of the north polar vortex in the 1970s
Europe's Venus Express probe has returned its first images since slipping into
orbit around our nearest planetary neighbour on Tuesday.
They show the hothouse planet's south pole from a distance of 206,452km. Mission
scientists are already intrigued by a dark "vortex" feature which can be clearly
seen in one image. Venus Express will orbit the planet for about 500 Earth days
to study its atmosphere, which is thought to have undergone runaway greenhouse
warming. Venus' dense, largely carbon dioxide, atmosphere acts as a blanket,
trapping incoming solar radiation to heat the surface to an average temperature
of 467C (872F) - hot enough to melt lead.
Polar vortex
Experts had previously suspected the south pole might have a vortex feature; a
vast vortex with an unusual double-eye feature has already been observed over
the planet's north pole. But the south polar region has scarcely been observed.
"We can see there is a twister here that is similar to that which we know from
the north pole," said mission scientist Horst Uwe Keller. Venus Express science
team members say they want to know how these vortices remain stable and where
they get their energy from. European Space Agency (Esa) officials said the
pictures were "surprisingly clear", with "unexpected detail".
They were captured on 12 April by the Virtis (Visible and Infrared Thermal
Imaging Spectrometer) and Venus Monitoring Camera (VMC) instruments onboard, as
the spacecraft passed below the planet in an elliptical arc. The false-colour
Virtis composite image shows Venus' day side at left and night side at right,
and corresponds to a scale of 50km per pixel.
Night half
The spectacular night half was taken via an infrared filter and shows dynamic
spiral cloud structures in the lower atmosphere, around 55km in altitude. The
darker regions correspond to thicker cloud cover, while the brighter regions
correspond to thinner clouds. The smaller VMC image shows Venus at a scale of
150km per pixel and is also shown in false colour. It was imaged in the
ultraviolet part of the spectrum. Venus Express successfully executed a
50-minute main engine burn on Tuesday designed to slow its speed enough to be
captured by the planet's gravitational pull. As the spacecraft tightens its
orbit in the coming months, scientists expect it to capture more detailed and
revealing images of the planet. Scientists hope to learn how Venus, which is
similar to Earth in size, mass and composition, evolved so differently over the
last 4.6 billion years.
The mission is the first to be sent to the planet in 15 years.

Hello everyone.
I have the following questions regarding double star system
1. Is it possible that both the star revolve in a common
circular orbit. If no then why?
2. When the required data is known how does one calculate the
velocities with which each star will move? Please show the required
calculations.
3. Exactly which laws of physics govern the motion of double star
system. And how are they applied?
4. I read that the stars have their centre of mass as one of
their focus. Can u please explain me the reason behind it.
5. How is the conservation of energy and momentum principle
followed here?
6. Is it possible that just as we have two star mutually
revolving, similarly we have 3,4,5 etc stars revolving around each
other?
I would be obliged if anyone could answer these questions.
Thank you

is MadKotada (Harappan Brick foundation) visiting the site we found the ancient
brick foundation which is not today's tradition. such a square bricks were used
in harappan time. so we decided to have a close look and we found the surprising
results.

Dear friends of Science and Geo- Archaeology,
NEWs @ http://www.gujaratsamachar.com/gsa/20060407/guj/gujarat/news55.html
Generally believed that there were no Saraswati civilisations near BHUJ but the
belief was wrong and was proved by ETV news on 21 August 2005 on our Last geo-
Archaeological expeditions news. Hardpan Dam in Kutch near Bharasar has proved
that the suggested - THERE ARE TWO LOST CIVILISATION in the KHATROD RANGE of
Mountains and most probably new villages may be built over the old Civilisation
places.
Not only that RAMKUND of BHUJ is the Oldest Archaeological structure in BHUJ
city area. even older than BHUJ itself but that proves Bhuj was existing long
before establishment by JADEJAs, BHUJ has Sanskrit meaning of to Rule as well.
BHUJ= To Rule. so Jadeja just ruled that since their Establishment and TORAN was
tied at the gate of BHUJ. but Bhuj and RAMKUND with temple of SUN in BHUJ was
existing.
Recently an underground building steps has been found underneath the newly
constructed sites to prove that old foundation is existing under the constructed
sites near Ramkund.
Plenty of Megalithic cultured Samadhies have been found North of BHUJ between
Jhura and Nokhania in mountain regions. Mochirai and Bajariyun Village has
ancient pottery and ancient china toys and 4000 years old graves proving those
site an ancient civilisation and also near by banks of River ZADKO ZADKi ancient
river of the KUTCH. JANGANIA near MAD KOTADA has Nazka type structures of
Megalythic cultures and Graves.
We have found the GADH called BAJARIO GADH in Gadhwaliwadi 23.10N - 69.33E
1) Places (1) has disappeared about 4-5miles = 7-8 Km north of Gadh 23.14N -
69.33E (23.14-23.10 = 0.04 = 4.5 miles=7-8 km distance north in mountain)
2) Places (2) has disappeared between BHUJ and NARANPAR 23.14N - 69.35E (69.35E
- 69.33E= 0.02 = 2.25 miles=4km distance East in mountain)
Place (1) is likely to fall in area of BHARASAR village and southeast towards
the Mandvi approach road from Bharasar. or part of it may be under Bharasar
village itself which is about 7-8 km north of the Bajario gadh in GadhwariWadi.
and place of Dam in that area proves that theory of a Civilisation under that
area.
Place (2) is likely to fall in area of 4 Km east of that in the area of SADATA -
north of BHARAPAR in Khatrod range area which is North East of the Bajario GADH
in GadhWariWadi about 8 Kn North and 4 Km East.
Not only that in the area of the Rivers we have recorded a Megalithic round
samadhies (Megalithic culture in Khander wali wadi areas) near river Rudrani
east of Gadh area and Nagmati flowing to wards KERA SHIVa temple.

Dear friends of science and Geology,
Looking back to the records of the major earthquakes of Kutch the major
earthquake epicentre is on the move from the West to towards the East 68.6 ==>
==>70.0 ==>70.28, and possibly future epicentre may be more towards the east in
RAPAR vagad fault area as the recent moderate earthquake suggests that the
Vagad fault is becoming Active.
Though many earthquake records are missing from the records e g. 1930s when
Pragmahel was damaged on New year day. and we need to keep the records to help
the check of the future epicentre.
Also the earthquake energy released has regular intervals too but difficult to
predict the time and also more difficult with out the record data. 2001 - 1956 =
45 years (9 x 5) and 1956 - 1819 = 137 is near to (9 x 5) x3. But we need more
data to do further work on it and so we need to keep our records updated.

Dear friends of Science, Isotope study, Astronomy Geology and Chemistry,
Carbon Dating has limitations of time as C14 has half-life of about only 5730
years samples of up to 50000 years old e. g. only for archaeological and
Anthropological purpose can be carbon dated but not the fossils of Million
years. we need more longer Half life radio Isotopes for those fossil dating for
longer than a Million of years. so as for A meteor also and Ir - IRIDIUM has
very short half life too.

Subject: Crocodilians in KUTCH
Dear Science Friends,
I would like to write YOU all of our expert GEOLOGIST, Archaeologists and
ANTHROPOLOGIST on the subject of the new Geological researches. WE have seen
fossils of "Crocodiles" in "GUNAWARI" at GANGESWAR Dome. Shree DAS surveyed
KUTCH for ONGC mission and on mining project for ONGC. He observed the
importance of KUTCH on geological science. some of the fossils he declared as
Mesozoic (Ammonites +208Mn years and some CROCODILES "cretaceous period" 140 Mn
years together at the same place with a VAST time difference of more than 65Mn
Years). Some experts are in favour of those DINO "Supercroc " are Prejurassic -
Triassic +200 Mn years rather than "cretaceous period" 140 Mn years.What we are
thinking of the Fossils of the "crocodiles" are actually the ancestors
(10-12meters size and according to the wildlife expert David Attenborough
"Marine Dinosaurs") of the present time Crocodiles of 4 meter size. some
describes as "CROCODILIAN" ancestors of many species and that of crocodiles and
some explain as "Supercroc" "DINO". Those "sarcosuchus" ancestors of crocodiles
had protruding teeth and armoured plate and lifespan of more than 110 years
compared to 70 years of present life span of the crocodiles. Mesozoic Ammonites
+205Mn years and some CROCODILIANS of the "cretaceous period of - JUNGLES IN
KUTCH" +140 Mn years together at the same place with a VAST time difference of
65Mn Years makes us to re-think about the time scale and to understand geology
of KUTCH, wildlife, environment, history and fossils history. Perhaps we need to
ask our expert geologist Shree DAS to visit KUTCH again and give us an expert
second opinion on the subject to support the New research of Kutch geology. I
think this time every one should consult such an experts who are in our touch
and known to us to give their advise for the benefit of the science of Geology.
Many of learners do make to mistakes and do not do the real test for specific
gravity and metallic characteristics in old collected samples. and they loose
the track to identify those. and later on only Chemical analysis reveals the
truth and need for further specific analyses test for Ir -iridium and Fe Ni and
if any radioactivity if it persist after the long time as the only one isotope
of Ir - Iridium has the bit longer half life time. so also difficult to find the
actual information of the period except the following isotope only, In such a
case where identifications becomes difficult by Physical research laboratories
those are sent for the further verification to the radio isotopes research labs
in Jaipur for Indian sample analysis.

Carbon 14 slowly decays by changing back to nitrogen and so releases energy. A
ratio of carbon 14 to common carbon, is very similar in a leaf to that in an
animal's body, to that in the atmosphere. But when a plant or animal dies, the
carbon 14 decays as time goes by.Carbon 14 dating cannot be used to date rocks,
but only on things that were once living. There are a number of factors which
alter the results of the carbon 14 method: One is the differing amounts of
cosmic rays reaching the earth. Another is that the earth's magnetic field is
decreasing, which deflects cosmic rays. Also, the Genesis flood would have
changed the carbon balance. The ratio before the flood had to be lower than what
it is now.Added to that, volcanoes give out a lot of CO2 which is very low on
carbon 14, & many Creationist researchers belief that there was a lot of
volcanic activity at the time of the flood.
In theory, anything over about 50,000 years old, should have no detectable
carbon 14 left. So if something has been dated by a different method, which
gives a date of millions of years old, and it contains carbon 14, then that is
good evidence for it not being that old. So the carbon-14 dating method can be
useful, provided these factors are taken into consideration.
Remember, a specimen older than 50,000 years old, should have so little carbon
14 that it won't be measurable. Evolutionists say that the youngest coal is
millions of years old, (and they say that most is 10's or 100's of millions of
years old). But no source of coal has been found that completely lacks carbon
14. This seems to be an unsolvable mystery to evolutionists. ...if radiocarbon
is routinely present in coal, oil, graphite & diamonds, then the Earth cannot be
billions of years old..Furthermore, ice cores only yield chronologies of many
thousands of years by assuming the layering is due to annual cycles."
Earth Has plenty of Carbon Isotopes and may contaminate samples too. Phase two
fossils and so. Fossil wood found in "Upper Permian" rock was dated at 250 Ma
(Mega annum, million years) old still contained carbon 14!. "If nuclear decay
rates have not been constant in the past, then not only is radioisotopic dating
of rocks rendered useless, but many fundamental universal physical constants
would have been affected." Surely these things ought to cast doubt on us relying
on these dating techniques?
Carbon 14 Dating Calculator
To find the percent of Carbon 14 remaining after a given number of years,
type in the number of years and click on Calculate.
Years C 14 halflife = 5730
Carbon 14 left = percent
To find the years that have elapsed from how much Carbon 14 remains, type
in the C 14 percent and click on Calculate.
Percent C 14 C 14 halflife = 5730
Years = +/-
More about Carbon Dating
In the 1940's Dr. Willard F. Libby invented carbon dating for which he
received the Nobel Prize in chemistry in 1960.
Carbon dating has given archeologists a more accurate method by which they
can determine the age of ancient artifacts. The halflife of carbon 14 is 5730 ±
30 years, and the method of dating lies in trying to determine how much carbon
14 (the radioactive isotope of carbon) is present in the artifact and comparing
it to levels currently present in the atmosphere.
Above is a graph that illustrates the relationship between how much Carbon
14 is left in a sample and how old it
Actually is Radiometric Dating?
These are methods that estimate the age of rocks by using the decay rates of
radioactive elements. For example; Potassium 40 decays to argon 40. Uranium 238
decays to lead 206 (via other elements like radium). Rubidium 87 decays to
strontium 87.
The original element (the 'parent') decays more and more to the second element
(the 'daughter'), so the older the rock the greater amount of 'daughter'
material is produced. Each parent has an assumed half-life figure (in years), a
50% decay figure. For Potassium 40, this is reckoned to be about 1.3 billion
years.

Total Solar Eclipse of the SUN 29 March 2006.
Dear friends of Science Astronomy,
Did any one have a snap of the original photograph which could capture grand
overall view, with Mercury and Venus visible during TSE 29 March 2006? To my
Surprise, every one enjoyed the TSE of 29 March 2006. but most of astronomers
forget or could not get the photographs could capture grand overall view and
Mercury and Venus visible during the TSE. Even BBC team and astronomers from
Patrick Moore team could not do that saying we could not get those. one of the
members of Stockholm Amateur Astronomers (STAR) said as
"Three days after the total solar eclipse I returned to the roof of my hotel in
Side, Turkey, and sketched the south-southwest view towards the Mediterranean
where I and 21 other members of Stockholm Amateur Astronomers (STAR) had gaped
at and taken pictures of the 3 minutes and 44 seconds of total eclipse. None of
my photographs could capture the grand overall view of the sketch, not to
mention the strange illumination of the landscape. But whereas my longest
photographic exposure was 11 seconds, the sketch took many hours to make. The
white dots are Mercury (nearest the sun)and Venus. "
