Can death be avoided?

Back to my blog after reading a mail just a few minutes back complaining about my irregular blogging!!
Here comes another crazy thought!!
Can we avoid death????
After all, what is death? our physical body gives up!!!! thats it.
And why does it give up?? Very simple, bcos its become old, one might say..
True, but HOW DOES IT KNOW that it has become old??
Moreover, WHY SHOULD IT GIVE UP EVEN IF IT HAS BECOME OLD??
Except for neurons in the brain.. all other cells in our body continuosly die, divide, are born etc etc.. so all these cells are always a couple of months or weeks old..
Still the body knows about aging?? How??
Bcos right from our birth as cell division progresses the amount of toxic waste in the daughter cells increases in every successive generation.. and by the time we are old, we INDEED BECOME OLD bcos that n th generation of daughter cells has more useless substance than useful one... and thats when body starts giving up as its parts cannot perform its normal functionality..
so clean up all our cells right from generation one and control the toxin propagation to daughter cells and there we are !!! all set to beat aging.. anti-oxidants , vitamin c help a lot in this..
But my thoughts are even ahead of this.. we can further secure ourselves as follows..

Does it matter to us if our hands are replaced by new hands.. legs by new legs.. eyes by new eyes.. etc etc.. still we continue to be who we are.. there are handicapped people who are having their parts replacesd.. as bio tech and genetics advances almost all parts except for brain should become replaceable in the not so far future..

So if all our parts can be replaced.. then what is that makes us what we are???
Well the answer is our memories in this life.. other than that every other part of our body could be replaced...

So my suggestion is that once we become old enough so that our (first) body cant take it any more.. we can create a dummy body of our own by using cloning and cancer cell technology (cancer cell technology is required to make our dummy body grow faster so that we dont have to wait for years together.. yet, we can avoid this if we plan well in advance before we become old)

Then we should have already solved the mystery of how our brain stores information.. now what we need to do is transfer all memory from our present body to the young brain of our new young body formed by cloning.. then tahts it!! We perform the last rites of our old body...

A person can burn/cremate his own body.. by shifting a new young body..

and we continue to repeat this cycle...... so we have avoided natural death... even if some incurable disease attacks our body we can shift to a new body without being worried at all...

But what about unnatural deaths.. say a car accident??? Can we avoid this too!!!

Yes!! As I said earlier, the key to US is our MEMORIES.. as long as they are safe we can always be born again..

So to overcome unnatural deaths we need to have backup of our memories stored.. lets call them brain banks.. and we need to regularly take backup of our memories in these brain banks..

Now in case of an unnatural death of a person, we can still create a dummy body of him (remeber to clone a person a single left over cell is enough.. and also we can even have that backed up!!) then just transfer the memories from the backup in the brain bank to his new brain!! thats it he is reborn!! But this time minus the memories after his last backup.. thats y I insisted on frequent backups...

Suppose a person took his last backup on March 1.. met with a road accident and died on March 10... Now when he is reborn on he will not remember anything that he did after his last backup on March 1 and before his death on March 10.. other than that he is the same person....

Finally let me give a startling relevation of this technology.. if at all it is used...
suppose a person gets lost.. we have his latest brain backup.. his family thinks he is dead.. we create a new person of the same person using his brain backup.. and all are happy that he is still alive.. and later one day.. the lost person also returns!!!!! both these persons have same memories to a laaaaaaarge extent of their life!!! moral and ethical dilemna!!!!

What do we need death or confusion????
Also,if we dont die, dont we get bored in life after a few hundred years!!!

But as far as my observation of human evolution goes.. humans will opt for confusion than death if at all we get the technology what I spoke about... else we would not have evolved from adam to atom

Quantum level intelligence!!

Was just wondering about intelligence. Why only we humans are intelligent? Cant animals be intelligent as well. Just because they can't think in terms of science and technology does it mean that they are not intelligent? Might be that they are limited by their physical capabilities. Or perhaps that they are no able to communicate to us what they think.
Is there intelligence at a deeper level? Well, yes, we know about our body organs. How well co-ordinated they all are. Heart pumps gallons of blood every day without any body asking it to do so. Our immune system fights against thousands of invaders every day without anybody asking it to do so. Kidneys filter our all the waste from our bodies every day without any body asking it to do so. One might object to this saying that all these organs are designed to do these activities. Well, but by who? If GOD is not the answer then these organs HAVE to be intelligent at their level to do so.
We will go a level deeper.. consider cells. How well co-ordinated the parts of a cell are. Mitochondria breaks down each glucose molecules into 24 ATP molecules to power the ribosomes which manufacture all required enzymes with the help of genetic decoding done by RNA polymerase. Cell doors are opened for useful substances to come in and for toxic wastes and cellular products to move out. Cells divide without anybody asking them to do so. A cell in your hand doesn't divide finally growing a kidney even though it has enough information stored to grow a kidney on your hand! Remember an ear grown on a poor rat's back as a result of an experiment by some bio-enthusiast? One might object to this saying that cells are designed to do all these activities. Well, but by who? If GOD is not the answer then cells HAVE to be intelligent at their level to do so.
Going even more deeper, we have the genetic code itself. Entire life written using 4 simple alphabets A,T,G and C. How did this massive information organize itself? Evolving and learning throughout the process? Deciding on the need for different organs, enzymes, their roles, body structure, the physics and chemistry involved, reproduction, etc????? Genes have to be intelligent to do so!!!
At an acellular level... how did all different constituents of a cell decide to go and grow together for mutual benefit as a cell... mitochondria talked to ribosomes and golgi apparatues and endoplasmic reticulum and .... and they all decided to live together as a cell in the early stages of evolutions?????
Going a level further down.. molecules and atoms.. how did they decide about which is the best angle for them to bond together? without being intelligent?? even if the best bonds were selected as a result of few thousand random tries, who initiated these few thousand random tries?????
Get to the quantum level.. how does a meson know that its lifetime is over and it has to disintegrate?? how is the quantum entaglement and non-locality possible without intelligent quantum particles? Dont you feel things are much more complicated than we know? Dont you feel that we have taken all these things for granted without digging much deeper? Ask a baby who is still learning to walk properly and it will tell you how concentrated it needs to be while walking and how it has to evaluate its every step and ask me, I take walking for granted!!! We take intelligence for granted, without knowing that we have acquired it from our quantum past!!!

Are GODS Aliens?

Sometimes I just wonder, to who are we praying when we say GODS? Who is GOD? The one who created this universe? or the one who bought life on this planet earth? or the one who gave intelligence to human beings to create a concept of GOD?
Did GOD create humans or is it the other way round?
Or are we mislead and are thinking history to be mythology and aliens to be GODS??
Scientists still debate on the question about how come suddenly human brain started growing so large and humans became intelligent(?) beings are we are today?

Well, are we the result of experiments done by some aliens whom we today praise as gods?
GODS live in heaven? Is that some faraway planetary settlement of aliens?
GODS used to visit earth? Are they aliens?

Definitely in that case the GODS we think of are not the creators of this universe, but a limited set of it called intelligent life??

But where are these GODS now? Why arent they visiting us? Or are they?
Another point here is, if aliens are GODS then they are definitely mortals. So the GODS whom we know via mythology (which is actually history) are dead today!!! So there are different sets of GODS today!! Or are the GODS still there in their planetary establishment.

Another fact that confirms my thought about GOD=ALIEN is the human kind of mindset we hear about GODS, they used to fight wars, some were jealous, etc. This suits more with an alien definition than with an ideal GOD.

Then is there any real GOD who created this universe? If yes, then he has to be outside this universe, then were is the science?

Also, even if there is any real GOD, he/she (does GOD have a gender? I dont think so) cant interfere in our day to day lives by giving us boons, helping us out in difficult times etc because thats unscientific, that will be violation of the laws that govern this universe.

If we live in a multi verse which is a collection of multiple universes, then what is the role of GOD here?

Ancient Nuclear War!!

Was the ancient indian war of mahabharatha a nuclear war?? Did ancient indians use weapons if mass destruction (WMD) while in the west humans were still in their primitive settlements?
Oppenheimer, the architect of modern atomic bomb who was in charge of the manhattan project was asked by a student after the manhattan explosion, "How do you feel after having exploded the first atomic bomb on earth". Oppenheimer's reply for the question was , "not first atomic bomb, but first atomic bomb in modern times". He strongly believed that nukes were used in ancient india. How can one explain the death of 14 billion people in 18 days!!! Its hard to digest the fact that current world population is 6 billions!! Mahabharatha war was definitely a world war as defence forces from kingdoms across the world were involved. But what made oppenheimer believe that it was a nuclear war was the accurate descriptions of the weapons used in the mahabharatha war in the epic which match with that of modern nuclear weapons.

Also, excavations of Mohen Jo Daro in North India revealed towns which had been completely destroyed quite unexpectedly!! There were no traces of natural disasters or wars! Scientists Davneport and Vincenti put forward a theory saying the ruins were of a nuclear blast as they found big stratums of clay and green glass. High temperature melted clay and sand and they hardened immediately afterwards. Similar stratums of green glass can also found in Nevada deserts after every nuclear explosion.

A heavy layer of radioactive ash in Rajasthan, India, covers a three-square mile area, ten miles west of Jodhpur. Scientists are investigating the site, where a housing development was being built.

For some time it has been established that there is a very high rate of birth defects and cancer in the area under construction. The levels of radiation there have registered so high on investigators' gauges that the Indian government has now cordoned off the region. Scientists have unearthed an ancient city where evidence shows an atomic blast dating back thousands of years, from 8,000 to 12,000 years, destroyed most of the buildings and probably a half-million people. One researcher estimates that the nuclear bomb used was about the size of the ones dropped on Japan in 1945.

So describes Musala Parva of Mahabharatha about the WMD

...Gurkha, flying a swift and powerful vimana (fast aircraft) hurled a single projectile Charged with all the power of the Universe.
An incandescent column of smoke and flame
As bright as ten thousand Suns
Rose in all its splendor...

...it was an unknown weapon,
An iron thunderbolt,
A gigantic messenger of death,
Which reduced to ashes
The Entiure race of the Vrishnis and thr Andhakas.

...the corpses were so burned
As to be unrecognizable.
Their hair and nails fell out;
Pottery broke without apparent cause,
And the birds turned white.

After a few hours
All foodstuffs were infected...

...To escape from this fire
The soldiers threw themselves in streams
To wash themselves and their equipment...

Electricity in ancient India!!

Were ancient indians using electricity? Were electrical appliances common household items in india then?

An ancient indian text agasthya samhita describes the manufacturing of electrical batteries as follows:
"Place a well-cleaned copper plate in an earthenware vessel. Cover it first by copper sulfate and then moist sawdust. After that put a mercury-amalgamated-zinc sheet on top of an energy known by the twin name of Mitra-Varuna. Water will be split by this current into Pranavayu and Udanavayu. A chain of one hundred jars is said to give a very active and effective force."

By the way, mitra is cathode and varuna is what we call anode today, Pranavayu is oxygen and udanavayu is hydrogen.

Multiverse ?!?!?!

When one looks at the big bang cosmology, it looks like a perfect recipe for a universe to be formed; exactly placed between the extremes of an immediate gravitational collapse without allowing the universe to evolve OR being thrown apart before any structure formation took place. How did this happen? Who fine tuned the constants? Or did somebody??? anthropic principle??
Do we live in a multiverse where universes are continuosly being born and dying like the bubbles of water? and among them one in a few millions (?) or so comes out with a perfect recipe for evolution of structure and subsequently life? And we live in one such superhit universe?
How about having a peep into other flop universes?? Excuse me, Any worm holes there???? I wanna trek to a flopverse but dont have any exotic matter currency, Can I have a ride please....
