Time, Universe, Infinity and the Movement our Astrologers cannot Comprehend
It is very difficult to comprehend entirety of the universe.
What is beyond this universe is another matter for conjecture and wild imagination.
Only a mind running wild can abstract these thoughts. It is not the matter that determines the outcome buts the mind’s ability to conceptualize outer limits and boundaries of existence, whether it is matter or antimatter.
I am one who believe that there is the possibility of anti-universe and antimatter.
At what point this transition occurs is also a debatable existence.
The postulation is when the matter meets antimatter there is enormous discharge of energy that repel each other to their limits (limit of the universe) of existence and the matter will never have a chance to cross its constrained boundaries.
The converse is true for the antimatter and it would never get a chance to cross its limited boundaries, in the same stretch of imagination.
Even though, we imagine universe is as limitless on simple hypothesis, there is a limit to the universe, if antimatter is there at its boundaries.
Then what is beyond the antimatter and anti-universe.
Is it only the universe?
I do not think so.
There got to be other possibilities.
Like planets and solar systems, there are other modes of multiple universes like anti-anti universe that is not a universe or anti-universe.
At this level three dimensional thinking has to give into four, five or six, or more dimensions.
The three dimensional thinking is possible when there is movement in relation to another moving body.
If the movement cannot be perceived as in the blackholes, where energy is sucked in by the presumed default concept, our theories of relativity has no logic there.
Under these conditions saying sun (sun actually moves in relation to its position in the universe) moves around the earth was the best our prehistoric human mind could grasp over the last 3000 years.
It is time for us to drop these concepts like orbits and orbital segments (12 Rashies - there are more dimensions to the universe) from our vocabulary and study science, rather physics, in its real conceptual framework.
But blackhole physics is something we are still to comprehend and it shows the limit of our scientific thinking, that suits only this planetary and solar system.
But the real contention is not physics but biophysics (my coining of a simple nano-level biology concept).
This is the only planet we know we can live in comfort. There is no place or other planet where we can survive over prolong period of time.
But we are destroying this planet by human activity including nuclear physics.
We are going through a vicious cycle.
It is sure the man (only a few will be enough) will destroy this planet, come the next century.
If not a potent virus would do that before that time.
But strangely viruses have 3 to 5 million year cycles not 100 year cycles that effect the very nature of evolution.
Man is the only one who believes, this planet runs in 100 year cycles.
Of this 100 year cycles, one human generation can do enormous damage which this earth planet cannot sustain.
The irony is each subsequent generation is worse than the previous generation that preceded it.
Beware!
There is impending catastrophe, if man does not give heed to the biophysics.

Now the insects!
Now
the insects!
After 15 years I noticed a single bee, must have traveled a long
distance to venture into my domain.
The tiny black bee is below our Electricity meter.
Colony is big and healthy.
Butterflies were three in number, brown, yellow, and tiny black and
white.
Dragon flies were mostly two, the regular blue visitor and a yellow
brown one and possibly a brown one which I have missed.
Plenty of tiny and big spiders and today I noticed a exotic one.
Where the hell he had come from.
A two tiny multipede in our bathroom.
A brown Katussa and a lizard as predators but not a single chameleon
this time.
Many birds droppings including in our veranda.
So the eco-system is thriving after 15 years of endurance.
But if I take three months of leave and come home all will be dead
since this was all a Single Man Made (SMM for short) environment.
My desire is for it to be Multiple Man Made (3M for short) endeavour.
That is my Political Theory for the Mother Nature and this Planet but
not a can of Baygon spray which I hate.
We do not have a single environment (green) party but one minor party
(not in the blue camp but is trying to piggyback on it-one is a monk,
the other is co-defender up with arms since a stupid astrologer-that
is what the national papers won't say- has predicted that he would
become a next president after the current Maithree term is torpedoed)
is hijacking this theory for its leader to come in to power.
So much for the constitutional changes that would be torpedoed.
Reader, especially foreign one, should excuse me for insinuating
subtle political buzz.
In any case it good for them to know the bottom line if they decide
to come for a holiday.
But please avoid our April New Year, since for about a month and
after that election campaign will be hot on the foot of a traveler.
Plant (Flower) watching!

I daily count the number of flowers after caring for the plants and
then do a survey of the insect life (more about it later).
The insect numbers vary depending on the number of flowers.
This is why I am NOW totally against offering flowers on the altar or
on temple platform as a godly gift or a godly bribe to incite
blessing from unseen Devas (if there are any left in this country).
I usually see three flowers.
I get excited when there are five.
That is my gold standard.
If it is below five I take it as a failure of my gardening attempt.
So I persevere.
The other day I counted ten.
That was well past my goal post or gold standard.
Mind you it is a warning or a sign of weather changing for good.
I think it was a blessing this time after ten or more years of
smile-less faces in this country, whether south, north of in the mid
country.
I think this is a good year to make good choices for biodiversity if
not political for me.
Most of them were water plants but there were five terrestrial plants
and one a weedy vine.
If I counted the teeny weeny water plats it would have been almost
15.
To me it was a colossal achievement.
My
exotic Dragon plant and Vanilla Plant are yet to bloom.
One Year Later
07-03-2016
Extremely warm 32 to 35 C.
Fish in the open die. Cover the top with black polythene to prevent absorption of heat and light.
Only three flowers this time but one exotic.
Vanilla plant all dead except one.
Dragon plant is producing shoots all over but no flowers.
Pipal (BO) trees on pots barely surviving.
If I do not water all the plants would be dead in a week.
Global Warming is REALLY here.

Taking
Stocks-My contribution to Biodiversity
After about decade we seem to have April Thunder Storms coming on the
dot.
It was 31st we had the first thunder storm and two days
ago we had a massive blast over our house almost shaking the roof.
Thank god I was not up admiring my eco-system on the roof top
mini-garden.
I would have been either dead or deaf.
My weather barometer is our dog.
He get frightened well before the thunder storm hit our neighbourhood.
Hide under my bed.
I in fact took the cloths put out for drying and sat on the computer,
just to pen down Tiny Tot Theory of ex-president.
The thunder hit our telephone and I could not post my last email.
It by passed our electric circuit and hit the telephone post first
and burned the wire / circuit at three or four places.
It was a massive one.
The Telecoms guys were very nice and prompt unlike the 'Chinthanaya
Time' and did a thorough job but they are sent out with minimum
hardware.
I just returned home with our daily fresh milk, just in time, and
provided them all what they needed except wires.
I thanked the guys profusely and told that I could live without the
Telephone and Internet for few days BUT they should not risk their
life with impending thunder storms..
Minutes later I was on the web before the evening thunder storms.
Mind you I do want to post this as a separate blog!
My warnings are
1. Please no fire crackers, we have enough pollution in this city
including noise (next prime minister campaign to b precise, we have
to make a new series based on BBC, NO,NO, Prime Minister, Please do
not come again, We had enough of YOU!).
2. It frightens my dog and your dog too.
Mind you many dogs die during this month (family goes on a holiday,
poor servant eats the dog's food, thunder storm, and fire crackers
and simply negligence).
To this add petty thieves poisoning them for meat in the corner hotel
masquerading as chicken.
3. Beware lightening
4. Do not answer the telephone when there is thunder storm, it will
busy your ear drum.
5. Switch off all the computers, I lost five during the last three
years (I was not worried, I was pruning my 10 set computer network to
two and now with my wife's one busted month age due to drop in
voltage- to cut down on the 'Electricity Bill'.
The the rain that comes with the thunder storms is a blessing for me.
I was expecting it to come after mid May.
My water plants were dying including an amazon plant with a beautiful
white flower.
I just resurrected it and put it in a bigger container with Guppy
fish for company.
I have three or four (one never bloomed for the last ten years- the
first one I started with which has a yellow flower most likely an
imported variety).
Te most expensive one inside the house virtually dead (my wife
changed the container without telling me. Leaves wilted away leaving
behind a tiny yam). For the last three months it spouted out few
leaves and they get entangled by the algae and die before the stem
was long enough for the leaf to float free.
With my perseverance and insistence on clearing the algae manually
(no chemicals please), it has now three tiny leaves and I cleared the
space for the fourth one yesterday.
The second of the lillie was trapped with a big water plant with a
beautiful tiny purple bunch of flowers (I let it grow till it was
time to uproot and save my lillie).
I did uproot two of them and found a suitable containers and they are
flowering again after my forceful overthrow from the residential
setting on the roof top.

They are killing Cricket-ICC
They
are killing Cricket-ICC
First Time in my life I never watched a single cricket match.
It was my wife who told me that Australia had won.
She had gone out that day and heard it in someplace.
She knows how much I loved watching cricket.
Not any more.
She thought, I was gone bonkers.
None of it.
I slept through the day and woke up at 3.30 PM.
Yes, up very late in the evening.
I was up all night making finishing touches to my last book.
I in fact, I finished three books, while the cricket was going on
without fireworks.
Watching cricket was boring.
I was actually hoping for New Zealand to make it.
I had been in New Zealand, the best people in this world live there.
They are so nice in the field unlike rowdy Australians.
Now let me say why I hate cricket now.
1. I hate the way ICC manipulating the game.
2. Players have no say.
3. They have change the colour of the ball.
4. They have made mandatory changes at 25 overs.
5. They have made mandatory field settings.
6. In all they have made cricket unplayable for ballers.
They just go through the motion and routine.
7. Worst of all they reprimanded all the spinners, before the first
game was played on fancy balling actions.
8. I hate Duckworth Lewis formula.
At least in world cup they should have the option to replay the full
game if the rain interrupts play, for the sake of the spectators.
9. Then the television coverage and money we have to pay the channel
owners.
10. In a nutshell it is money the ICC officials want.
It is not cricket anymore.
Money rules.
11. With India, Australia and England dictating at ICC level, rest of the cricket nations can play for Kiss of Death.
I was pretty sure Sri-Lanka would be eliminated.
I had given my reasons two years ago.
No need of repeating.
I had stop talking about cricket under Mahinda Chinthanaya ruining
(people stop laughing and smiling under their regime and it is over
three months, NOW still people do not crack a joke-even WITHOUT a
political SLANT-most passive citizens on this planet) the day to day
simple life of our people, going down a racial and HATRED precipice and with appreciably rising,
cost of living (sky rocketing).
As regard to Australian cricket, I would not watch them as long as the present captain is playing.
It is painful to watch him play.
Why can't they find a better captain?
I hope the Australians, ask this question.
I certainly believed that Australia could win the cup without him.
Nowhere, compared to New Zealand captain Brendon MaCulum.
R.I.P. for cricket in Sri-Lankan context and smaller nations.
The best thing that happened to cricket was India losing and their betting machines can now be used for bonfire.

Open Indiana Update.
Open Indiana
Update.
Open Indiana has
just posted its latest Iso (Os) on torrent.
I downloaded and it
booted on my dying old IBM.
For some unknown
reason it does not detect the boot loader (some error in the MBR,
probably)
I boot it by a live
DVD/Cd and then use the Live DVD menu Hard Disk option and boot my
OS, Peppermint.
This is what I am
going to do with my old horse till it packs up.
I have tested over
200 live CDs on it and the reason for packing up is partly due to
that, I believe.
But the real culprit
is our Electricity Supply which has done enormous damage to many
equipment including computers.
It cannot provide
constant voltage or reliable voltage.
Coming back to Open
Indian, it has option for Live as well as booting from hard disk (I
did not try with Open Indiana / Solaris but by MUKULU Linux).
I too a little time
but has pleasing Gnome Desktop.
The partition Editor
did not detect my partitions bout detected the SATA hard disk.
Browser was FireFox.
There was no
LibreOffice or Abiword.
I could not locate
the software store to add software.
It is falling behind
Linux but I still have my Open Solaris Free disk in my archive which
Sun posted it to me free in my early days with Linux.
I hope the
developers / community is well supported (in its endeavours).
OpenSolaris
was Sun's open-sourcing of most of the System V (plus much else) Unix
based Solaris operating system. It's now the third major family of
open-source Unix, after Linux and BSD.
OpenIndiana
is a general purpose distribution with X and desktop environment. If
you intend to run illumos on the desktop, you want OpenIndiana.

Escape from Dogmatism
Escape from Dogmatism
In this world of uncertainty, it is very easy for a dogma to creep in imperceptibly.
Religion is one of them.
It promises heaven and hell or man’s emancipation or salvation but nothing in this life and in between.
Politics is another.
It promises good governance and delivers corruption.
The science in another.
It promises the moon and mars exploration, knowing very well they are not habitable.
Education promises prosperity but at least half of them are without jobs but the half who have got jobs are doing menial jobs not what they are trained for or looking for.
The list can be endless but there is no attempt at getting rid of the dogmatism.
In actual fact, there is no escape from dogmatism.

The Elephant Corridor, A Myth
The Elephant Corridor. A Myth
The Elephant Corridor in Sri-Lanka is a myth.
Yala, Wagamuwa, Wilpattu and Uda Walawe are not connected by a corridor for the elephants to move freely, since the rest of the land is densely populated and there is not even a hypothetical corridor.
My calculation is that not even one percent of the land is reserved for the elephants.
If I assume 10% (ten) of the land is allocated in a hypothetical space on this island as a zoological garden and all the elephants are relocated inside it for the people to see them as exhibits, and only 0.1% of the total population come to this putative zoological garden, to see them on one go (again hypothetical), there will be one man or woman standing every 10 feet (3.3 meters) of the perimeter and no elephant can move out without touching a human being.
If we get 1% to visit this zoo, one can stand and won’t be able to stretch the hands without pushing or shoving.
Elephant will have to trample 10 of them to get out of the perimeter and see the man’s world, which is fully developed.
One may wonder, why I used 10% which is high land mass in commercial concepts.
It is very simple.
My estimate is that there should be at least 35% of total land mass of the island to be reserved for rain forest, if we are to maintain at least 10% of our perennial rivers.
So take another 5% of for lakes, rivers and water bodies, we can assume that, we have 30% for the rain forest, the wild elephants should take major share of it, at least one third of it, which would be my target 10% of land reserve for elephants.
Please note that we have only about 1% occupying, water bodies equivalent to 870 km² of water or 400 square miles.
It is not enormous by any stretch of imagination, and can decline rapidly, if the rain fails for a prolong period.
That is another reason for elephant migration, looking for water bodies not only for foraging.
Currently, it is less than 25% may be touching 20% (we will be like Dubai in about another 50 years with the current development heist) and I say, not even 1% of the land is dedicated and left solely for our elephants.
So, the elephants have to, and they have no choice left, but to migrate through the developed land and we call it the encroachment and in actual fact it is the man who has encroached upon its habitat.
This is mainly due to our population explosion in relation to decline in elephant population.
So, by this unnatural selection, it will be only 500 elephants that will survive in the this land, and it is really an endangered species.
Stating that we have 5000 elephants in the forest is a mythical figure concocted by our Mega Media Men (M.M.M) to satisfy the politicians.
I think each elephant is counted ten (10) times in making that mythical figure, sometimes by reputed NGO's.
Development of the man’s world is also a big myth in the same stretch of imagination, since only a very few with patronage will be able to enjoy it.
I have made this calculation confusing and difficult so that politicians won’t be able to understand my logic of it but the figures are below for one to work out.
Human Population density in Sril-Lanka averaged out but in reality it is much more than that because people congregate on socio-economic reasons.
The population density in Gamphaha is more than Decca and Calcatta.
Kandy has 10 times the population density of Gaza Strip.
Beauty is that nobody talks about population control.
I have used the total population projected in another 10 to 50 years for my calculation since total square miles is roughly 25,000.
1000 in a square mile
400 in a Square Kilometer
400 x 2.4 =1000
Reserve only 10% 2500 Sq Miles (6500 Sq. Meters)
0.1 of population 250,000
Every 10 feet or 3.3 meters there is a man or woman standing.
Location Indian Ocean Coordinates 7°N 81°E
Area 65,610 km2 (25,332 sq miles)
Area rank 25th
Coastline 1,340 km (833 miles)
Highest elevation 2,524.13 m (8,281.27 ft)
Highest point Pidurutalagala
Water bodies 870 km² of water = 400 square miles and that is only about 1% of the land surface.
(If Water body is 1.5 % it equals to 1000 Km).
Population density 1000 / sq miles
Population density 400 / km
Hypothetical Elephants population is 1000 and it is exaggerated to 5000 by local media giants.
The biggest lie in this country.

Zebra Experiment
This is a chapter in my next book, Reflection, will be out soon.
Zebra Fish and Black Guppy
I have reason to believe there is unhealthy practices of Fish Breeding.
I may have briefly mentioned this sometime in the past. I cannot trace the piece of writing.
In any case there seems to be new developments.
There is a guy who breeds albino zebras.
He has now introduced a pink strain.
I have an obsession on the topic of pigmentation, especially in regard to Guppy fish.
I wished as a kid, I could see a Guppy black like a black molly.
A guy in Thibirigasya, actually accomplished it.
He deserves a Nobel Prize.
I do not know how he accomplished it but to see a Guppy with band of black is common now.
These Guppies are robust, healthy and of reasonable size.
But all the variants of Zebras are tiny.
They do not grow to adult size in spite of proper feeding.
They do not mix in the shoal with normally colored zebras.
In other words thy are unhealthy.
Toady, I received a batch of albino tetras free of charge from a dealer, whom I knew for two decades.
The idea was for me to look after them (confirmed disabled) sympathetically until they die.
One of them died on transit due to shock.
Rest went into panic state the moment, I introduced them to my main tank.
I sat there and watched their agony for half an hour.
Only two recovered in half an hour.
Most of them were partially blind or an eye was totally missing.
One was totally blind and took the longest to recover.
After one hour all of them could balance and swim in a comical manner.
They had two problems.
One was blindness.
The other was balancing.
I believe these strains are poisoned in their breeding.
They must be using very toxic material.
There is unsupervised breeding programs in this country.
These chemical are hazardous to humans and other animals and are slowly percolating into our ground water.
Who is allowing these materials to be imported?
That is my big question.
Zebra Experiment
I bought the zebra fish with an intention of crossbreeding them. They are easy to breed but one need an elaborate tanks to separate the eggs from the parents and also have adequate quantity of infusoria.
Infusoria
Infusoria grows naturally in most tanks, particularly those with live plants. However, there may not be sufficient quantities to sustain a full hatching of fry.
The term infusoria is an old one that has changed in meaning over the years. At one time it referred to just about any microscopic, or nearly microscopic, organism that lived in fresh water. That use of that word long ago became outdated in the scientific community.
However, the term infusoria is still used by many within the aquarium community, even by younger fish enthusiasts. To aquarium enthusiasts infusoria refers to many small organisms in water that tiny fry can feed up upon.
Although it's not feasible to name every organism that could be in an infusoria culture, some of the primary ones include, algae (volvox), amoebae, euglena, paramecium, rotifers, stentor and vorticella.
Therefore, it is helpful to culture your own infusoria to ensure having an adequate amount.

Knoppix-7.5-Booting With A Flash Drive
The latest 7.5.2 was out few days ago.
Knoppix-7.5
I just booted (Old IBM)Knoppix 7.5that came with the Linux Magazine.
Currently preparing a bootable USB with overlay facility.
It needs about 4.5 GiB for the distribution and the rest for my data.
I am using 8 GiB Flash Drive.
It gives the option of encrypting the data, which I declined.
I am not paranoid,yet.
It has a small image of 12 MiB for bootable CD but I could not find it.
That is for a computer that cannot be booted by a Flash Drive.
One boots with the CD and then write the image to the Flash Drive.
If you have an old computer with a BIOS that does not support USB booting,
With two combination, Mini CD and Flash Drive now you can boot from a Flash Drive.
It is currently available with Linux Magazine ONLY.
It has IceWeasle, Fire Fox and Chrome as browsers.
I use Iceweasle since it has security options built in.
Please excuse if there are typos.
My old computer's audio is not configured with almost all the current Linux Distributions that I have tried BUT Knoppix configures it very well.
So if I need to Listen to something on the Web, I am going to boot with the Flash Drive.
Why use Flash Drive?
It is faster than the DVD.
Thanks guys/Girls of Knopix.
Yes it is the best Live DVD.
But hope you will continue to have the CD version, too.
I finally found the small iso in th Knoppix folder, but I could not get the K3B to burn the image booted with the USB stick with DVD writer available for writing.
I copied the image to my Linux download folder and currently writing it to a CD.
There is something I always do.
Copy the DVD image to another DVD and place the original DVD in my archive and only use the second copy for my demonstrations.

Elephants (The Good Governance)
Elephants (The Good Governance)
The elephant the biggest mammal is threatened.
The big mammoth went into extinction due to two reasons. One is it was considered to be food for the prehistoric man. They were hunted down to extinction. The second more probable reason is they acquired a variant of human disease, the killer tuberculosis. It was not due to deforestation.
The story about the Sri-Lankan elephant is no different.
They were hunted for ivory.
They were domesticated by kings for the war machines.
Then it was the symbol of a party.
It was the prized possession of the wealthy and was their hired heavy labour.
Latest was the merchandise of ill repute.
Politicians with power started dealing with illegal capture and transfer of baby elephants.
By selective genetic extermination by the Sri-Lankan hunters, the percentage of tusked animals went below five percent.
So they went in for the real kill.
Kill the mother (she) elephant and hunt the baby elephant as a merchandise. This went on in broad day light after the war.
Even, LTTE never mixed up their politics with elephant trade.
The end of the war came and the political masters without the terrorist threat went for the bounty.
Sri-Lankan media it was ‘moms the word’ since rulers and the political henchmen were in this big business.
Then added to this deforestation and location of sugar cane and banana plantation in their migration path way.
From 1960s (CP. De Silvas time) for politicians elephant was a merchandise and they used the bogus claim of damage to poor farmers plots. They were not poor farmer but hashish (ganja) growers and some politicians were involved in this hashish trade. They in fact come to the parliament to protect their illegal trading interests.
Parallel with these development their is a ‘Flora and Fauna Act’ with a director to oversee the enactment of these laws.
But he becomes part of the problem and the elephant register disappears and duplicate registers are introduced.
He is paid a salary and a pension for all of his inaction.
None of these were elephant friendly actions.
Their population has gone down to 2000 and the official figured are ‘cooked up’ figures.
Who believes their statistics when our children’s malnutrition is reported as 20% percent when actual ground level malnutrition is double of it nearing 40%, especially in the war torn areas.
Would you expect our forest officers to go to the forest and count them every day.
Most of them are in their homes and go to the base to collect the monthly salary.
Pure nonsense.
They are only targeting which one is their next prized kill.
This is how we achieved our miracle progress.

Swiss bank accounts
Swiss bank accounts
I was surprised to see New Zealand and Singapore topping Sri-Lanka.
It is interesting to know the time period of these deposits.
Then an average citizen can make a decision to select the worst government in power and vote them back into power again.
I guess the last regime must be on the top with a clear margin of victory.
Of course these individuals should use that money for the election campaign without using the public coffers (money).
Sri Lanka is ranked 112 among the countries with the largest
dollar amounts in the leaked Swiss files. According to its data,
ninety two Sri Lankan clients had 129 bank accounts worth
approximately US $ 58.3 million.
The maximum amount of money associated with a client connected to
Sri Lanka was $10.7M.
2. United Kingdom $21.7B16. India $4.1B
50. Singapore $758M
63. Seychelles $506.4M
90. New Zealand $151.6M
112. Sri Lanka $58.3M
113. Thailand $57.3M
