Raja Farrukh's Blog: Science is the only truth

Science is just the truth

It’s said that human consciousness (critical thinking) first opened its eyes in Greece.

These are the seven wise philosophers who inspired Classical Greece, where critical thinking broke away from traditional thought, and the shadows clouding human understanding started to fade, revealing the hidden secrets of the universe.

The magic of a warm embrace ❤️

The warmth of a hug from a loved one generates an electric impulse in your body. The scientists who discovered the receptors that convert this warmth into electric current won the Nobel Prize.

The concept of “genetic compatibility” was proposed in 1995 by Swiss scientist Dr. Claus Wedekind. Samples of saliva from both partners are analyzed for human leukocyte antigen (HLA) genes, testing for both biological compatibility, which we call “chemistry,” and social

compatibility. For a relationship to succeed, both aspects need to match. Nevertheless, we can still call it more of a theoretical science.

Mind Writing

Imagine being able to write your thoughts directly into a computer—science, friend of humankind!

Remembering the Past is a Curse

O Lord, take away my memory (with apologies to Akhtar Ansari).

Let's create a robot, make it intelligent, make it powerful, give it authority, so that one day, it kicks us out.

The world’s youngest Nobel Laureate, Malala, won her Peace Prize at 17, while the oldest, John B. Goodenough, won the Nobel Prize in Chemistry at 97. Inspiring examples of motivation.

Madame Curie is the only person to win Nobel Prizes in two fields: Physics (for radiation; radium, if placed in the dark, emits a steady glow and can be applied to make watch hands and other important buttons visible in darkness—it became a message of life for millions of cancer patients, leading to what we now call radiation therapy) and Chemistry (for the discovery of radium and polonium).

Her daughter also won the Nobel Prize in Physics. But remember, in Pakistan, a woman’s worth is trivialized; perhaps that’s why Pakistan’s respect in the world is also trivialized.

March 14, a historic date for two revolutionary scientists

Stephen Hawking was born on January 8, 1942, the death day of Galileo in 1642.

Hawking died on March 14, 2018, the birthday of Einstein in 1879.

Einstein’s theory of relativity and mass-energy equation remain powerful in science, earning him the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1921. Meanwhile, Hawking's book on science became a bestseller.

Scientists who don’t believe in God (as a being) still consider nature (as a force) to be God, so don’t they have a God too?

I urge the leader to at least spare science—we are already drowning in an ocean of ignorance 😭

One eyedrop and perfect vision.

After applying this eyedrop, in 15 minutes you can take off your glasses. With time, the ability to focus diminishes, causing near vision to deteriorate. This eyedrop works by enhancing focus through a pinhole effect and needs to be applied once a day.

Our brain functions like an electronic device; every thought, every decision, every command is the result of a micro-voltage current. 😜

I think, but why do I think? I don’t know. Anyway, I guess it’s a philosophical curiosity. 🤔

Scientists discovered another aspect of human evolution, showing that humans consume 30 to 50% less water than their closest relatives, chimpanzees.

The people of Mars respond to our presence:

"Oh, you’ve come to make our lives miserable too?" 😜

A Lake of Human Bones in the Himalayas

Around 500 human skeletons were reported here in 1942, but the cause of death, origin, and reason for their presence remain a mystery to this day. 😭

"Can algorithms govern this world? Could a tiny glitch unleash a huge catastrophe?"

"Israel monitors Palestinians closely, using microphones, cameras, and spy software, analyzing every move algorithmically. In 2017, a Palestinian worker posted a picture of a bulldozer with 'Good Morning' in Arabic on his Facebook. The word 'يصبحهم' (Good Morning) was misinterpreted by the algorithm as 'يذبحهم' (Kill them). The algorithm flagged him as a terrorist planning to kill with a bulldozer. Israeli security forces swiftly detained him, but he was released after the error was discovered."

"The UAE is the first Muslim country to send a mission to Mars. India already achieved this in 2013. Pakistan, however, has wisely steered clear of such 'pointless' endeavors."

"Between fiction and reality... Yet every invention was once just a hypothesis."

"A study of a 100-million-year-old fossil in Argentina shows that some snakes had legs."

"When we praise Muslim scientists for influencing modern scientific methods and Greek philosophy in Europe, we forget the harsh treatment they received. Deemed heretics, their books were burned, and their ideas suppressed. Today, if Muslims lag in science and technology, it's partly because of this mentality—some blindly opposing knowledge as if it's against our beliefs."

"Scientists build universities to make this world a paradise; priests build temples, hoping to reach paradise in the next world."

"Philosophy and logic served us until human knowledge expanded beyond the five senses. One telescope changed millennia of beliefs."

"A 30-year study on Neanderthal bones in Spain reveals they hibernated during winters. Perhaps humanity shouldn’t have abandoned this habit."

"Germany’s artificial sun is set to emit light 10,000 times brighter than natural sunlight. China is conducting similar experiments."

"Answer a few questions about cows and win millions. Oh, 21st century, we are ashamed of you."

"According to scientists, our universe is only 14 billion years old."

"Is faith something beyond proof?"

"January 4, 1642: Sir Isaac Newton, the story of the world's most precious apple that inspired him to become the 'father of science.' While Newton was contemplating in an orchard, an apple fell, prompting him to ponder why it fell straight down, leading to his realization of gravity."

"LUMPLY is a type of mobile phone light. Made from strong material, it expands and contracts, becoming compact enough to fit into a pouch. It attaches to a smartphone, enhancing the light diffusion and illuminating the whole lamp."

"The old folks seem to be discussing a new conspiracy."

"An average person with 30 trillion cells and 39 trillion bacteria weighs around 70 kg and is about five and a half feet tall."

"To treat a disease, just cut its genetic wire and replace it."

"Avicenna proposed the theory of contagion and quarantine, written in 'The Canon of Medicine' in 1025, taught in Europe until the 17th century. But in the Muslim world, Al-Ghazali’s anti-rationalism prevailed and still does."

"The Japanese astronomy project places the massive black hole at the center of our galaxy 25,800 light-years away, with Earth moving towards it at 227 km per second. No need to worry... yet."

"To fall asleep, think about staying awake. This calms the mind and helps you drift off."

"Israeli scientists are experimenting with oxygen therapy to reverse human biological aging. Could this be another scheme against us?"

"Can math alone solve the universe's mysteries?"

"This is an ancient Babylonian temple from 2,800 years ago, where people worshiped the sun, moon, and stars. As human knowledge grew, so did our gods."

"Our brain resembles the universe. Both have similar structures, with galaxies and neurons connected by thin filaments and nodes. The brain contains roughly 70 billion neurons, and the universe about 100 billion galaxies. Both are composed of 30% matter (neurons or galaxies) and 70% of another substance—water for the brain, dark energy for the universe."

"Neanderthals, humanity’s closest relatives, roamed the Earth until about 40,000 years ago. They were robust and used long spears to hunt. They buried their dead, wore clothes, and lived in family groups, primarily in Europe. They vanished, likely due to competition, natural selection, or disease."

"Nine thousand years ago, women hunted to feed their children, yet today, we still try to confine them to four walls."

"Are we all descendants of fish?"

"The ancient Greeks believed the sun wouldn’t rise if it were angry. Anaxagoras later revealed it to be just a fiery ball, and now science even questions the reality of sunrise and sunset."
