NASA's footage of first man on moon...LOST!

Really??? May be you knew, but I did not..

I cant believe this! NASA's footage of the historic Apollo 11 1969 mookwalk was lost somewhere in NASA's archives or it got erased(???) during reuse, and was found only recently...in bad shape!

God did not create the universe, says Hawking

Great Man Hawking!

God did not create the universe and the "Big Bang" was an inevitable consequence of the laws of physics, the eminent British theoretical physicist Stephen Hawking argues in a new book.

Origin of our universe - a new thought!

Many of us now tend to believe that the origin of our universe is the big bang. Recently I had a thought ... What if big bang was not the origin? What if it were just one of the events or for that matter one of the millions of big bangs that might have taken place? What if the universe was contracting and expanding?
All these were questions that came to my mind until I realized that scientists were already working on this thought of mine...$&;#%#

An attempt to understand the "Theory of Relativity"

I found this theory very interesting. This was developed by the great "Einstein". While I was reading about it and was trying to understand it... it all sounded very unnatural(if you would!).

Example of the theory:

Assume that you(A) are sitting in car A traveling at 500 miles/hr and one of your friend(B) is in Car B traveling at 1000 miles/hr and another friend(C) is on the ground stationary. Also assume that a light beam passes you all at that instance.

Of course, every atom of our body was once part of a star!

This is the end to one of my favorite movies, GATTACA. This is part that contains my favorite quote where Vincent says, "For someone who was never meant for this world, I must confess, I'm suddenly having a hard time leaving it. Of course, they say that every atom of our body was once part of a star. Maybe I am not leaving.......maybe I'm going home."

Just a while ago... Endeavour docks at ISS

Early hours on Wednesday (12:06am EST), Endeavour docks at ISS.

Purpose of the mission: The STS-130 mission of space shuttle Endeavour will deliver a third connecting module - the Tranquility node - to the International Space Station and a seven-windowed cupola to be used as a control room for robotics.
