An Indian scientist Ashwini Kumar Lal of India’s Ministry of Statistics and Programme Implementation and Rhawn Joseph of Northern California’s Brain Research Laboratory have challenged the Big Bang theory by saying that Big Bang theory is not able to give a proper explanation about the creation of the universe.

The research paper of both scientists were released when Geneva’s European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) are in the midst of experiments on the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) recreating conditions of the beginning of the universe.

According to Lal ” Big Bang theory states that the universe was created due to an explosion which has occurred 13.75 billion years ago. But there are complete evidences that there were fully formed distant galaxies at that time as many of the galaxies are more than billion years old at this time. So, how could it be possible? ”

In his paper “Big Bang? A Critical Review”, Lal says: “There is a growing body of evidence which demonstrates the Universe could not have begun with a Big Bang 13.75 billion years ago.

“Indeed, the day may come when it is determined there never was a Big Bang and cosmologists of the future will only gaze back in wonder at how anyone could have believed in a creation event which was refuted by so much contradictory evidence,” he adds.

Japanese Roboticist Hiroshi Ishiguro , Japan’s Osaka University , has successfully created an humanoid robot version of himself. This humanoid robot, can move its rubber skin to laugh and to cry like areal woman by receiving electric signals from the human it is being modeled on.

Ishiguro controls his mechanical doppelganger remotely, through his computer, using a microphone to capture his voice and a camera to track his face and head movements.

When Ishiguro speaks, the android reproduces his intonations and when he tilts his head, the android follows suit.

A woman after looking at her robotic version said “I felt, I was meeting my twin sister.”

Ishiguro didn’t gave any timeframe about when such rotos would be available int he market, But he predicted that the copies of humanoid robot would be sold at around 10 million yen (110,000 dollars)

The study discovered that average IQ of a non-smoker was about 101, while smoker’s average was about 94. The IQ of a smoker who can smoke more than a packet in a day lie around 90.

The study directed by Prof. Mark Weiser of Tel Aviv University’s Department of Psychiatry and the Sheba Medical Center on 18 to 21 yrs old men working in the Israeli army.

This study also tracked two twin brothers, in this case one of the twin smoked and he registered lower IQ on average than the non-smoker twin.

Researchers took data from more than 20,000 men, some of them had left army, some of them are in army and some of them are planning to join army. During this investigation it was found that all men acquire good health, since they had to keep their health according to the norms of army. Researchers found few surprising results, 28 percent are sample smokers smoking one or more cigarettesin a day, 3 percent are ex-smokers and 68 percent are non-smokers.

Prime minister Manmohan Singh has expressed its concerns over the declining number of youth opting for science courses after the 10+2 stage and urged the need to bring them into the fold of exciting and stimulating research environment of colleges and universities.

The Prime Minister was speaking at the foundation laying ceremony of the Indian Institute of Science Education & Research and the diamond jubilee celebrations of the National Chemical Laboratory.

Prime Minister Said that the India will lose the competitive advantage it enjoys in the research and development sector, if they can’t attract young and motivated people to lead the Nation’s laboratories and Research projects.

‘It is our scientific capabilities that will determine our ability to overcome challenges which lie ahead in areas such as climate change, clean energy, environment-friendly technologies, water management, affordable healthcare, food security and biotechnology,’ the prime minister pointed out

Innovators must be challenged to produce solutions the society needs in a timely manner, and must then move out of the laboratory quickly and gain wider acceptance, he said
