10/7/2012

On 26th May '2012 , Shouryya Ray , a 16 year old India-born student from Germany , has solved two fundamental particle dynamics theories which physicists have previously been able to calculate only by using sophisticated computers .
Those solutions will help scientists to calculate the flight path of a thrown ball and then to predict how it will hit and bounce off a wall.
Shouryya had come across the problems during a school trip to Dresden University ,
Germany .
He started solving very complicated equations as a six year old . He is now living in Germany and conducting an internship at Technische Universitat , Dresden . He has won a research award for solving the problem , that was posed by Isaac Newton more than three centuries ago . He submitted that paper to the annual German Youth Science Contest , jugend forscht and was placed 2nd in the national finals for the category : Mathematics and Computer Science .

Censorship Of Social Media

9/10/2012

3 Comments

During the last few days some social sites were blocked and there was a block on mass SMS .

According to a report given by an International Organization “ Freedom House “ , India was ranked 14 among 37 countries in the field of Internet freedom.

Comparing our country with China ( ranked 34 ) , though we are three decades back in economy , we have still more freedom of speech and internet freedom than China .

While countries like USA , UK , Germany and Australia are among the top of the list , countries like Mexico , Kenya and Nigeria remain below us .

This modern theory of freedom was started in Europe .

The most controversial subject in social media censorship is the censorship of terrorism and pornography .

At the first attempt , some sites having child pornography were censored .

Sites having relation with terrorism and having illegal contents are in the process of censorship .It is intended to check violence.

If one will review the various chats ,emails ,blogs and discussions in forums , worldwide , It may appear that there must be an online restriction for Indians also.

It may be legal , but not realistic or possible .. The Supreme Court also says that there should not be any restriction on the criticism about a wrong-doing of Government .

We should not blame the social media for every problem .
