Blog postIn Postgresql, prefer making Auto Increment for the table right from start. Following is code for a test table:
CREATE TABLE test_table(
test_id SERIAL PRIMARY KEY
);
I wrote above code in pgAdmin 4 >> Tools >> Query Tool
Executing this query straight made the table under Public Schema. Then I altered the table (using graphic interface) and added another text column.
MS Access Autonumber vs. Postgresql Auto Increment -
Blog postVisible milky way band is not a view of just one spiral arm. It is a view of the entire thickness of the galactic disc as viewable from our location within the disc. This band tells us that we are living in a disc shaped galaxy and it also gives hint about our location within the disc.
Suppose you are looking at milky way band in the night sky and start moving towards opposite direction while keep on looking at the band. When you will reach about 2000 light years away from the visible -
Blog postPractical understanding of let’s say Newton’s Physics is of the type which is offered by the text books. Students understand the statements of laws along with mathematical depiction thereof and become able to solve numerical or exercise questions. After completing the study in this way, they may become good engineers or professors of physics.
But those who become scientists, they seek understanding of a different kind that may be regarded as intellectual understanding. They not only p -
Blog postPlato, in a spurious sense, is often regarded as a ‘realist’ since he assigned ‘real’ status to his ‘forms’. However, he is a proponent of an idealist’s perspective because ideas (forms), though projected as belonging to an independent realm, but actually existed within mind. For Plato, forms constituted objective reality and the ‘observed reality’ was nothing but shadow imagery of those ‘forms’. If we regard Plato as a realist then we would be treating idealism as realism because a treatment

Blog postDue to the rise of Sophistry, Philosophy had lost meaning and reputation. Socrates was the first to realize that argumentative method was in a dire need of refinement and regularization. Socrates himself introduced the concept of definition. Imagine how meaningless those arguments would be that did not employ definitions with specific scope.
Regularization of arguments then reached to its peak through the special efforts of Aristotle. Without Socrates, by now, philosophy would have be -
Blog postWe have seen that Einstein’s GR failed at predicting or knowing the existence of galaxies. It was so because Einstein was pursuing the assumption of a finite universe. However, while evaluating the idea of an infinite universe, Newton had duly reached to the concept of galaxies. Here I present the point of Newton:
In a letter to Isaac Newton, David Gregory declared in 1694: “A continual miracle is needed to prevent the Sun and the fixed stars from rushing together through gravity -
Blog postBased on the (Happiest) idea that free falling is an inertial frame, coupled with already known fact that different masses fall at same pace as reinforced by the Eötvös Experiments — Einstein intuitively concluded that massless objects (i.e. light) should also fall at same pace.
Step-2: So light also falls but it cannot get increasing speed because according to Einstein’s own principles light could not get increasing speed.
Step-3: Light can fall towards gr -
Blog postFather of Physics is Aristotle. He made physics a separate discipline. Modern Physics developed only out of critical inquiry of the Aristotelian ideas.
It is pointless to say that Aristotle was wrong and Galileo was right. Galileo received all his raw materials for the critical inquiry from Aristotle. Aristotle’s ideas were wrong. But in case there were no ideas on Physics at all then there would have been no Galileo or Newton as well.
The post Father of Physics: Aristotle app -
Blog postCreativity is making analogies. This is the key. And analogy is to fuse two disjointed sets of information to make into a new. We need to have vast variety of different sets of information in mind that may apparently be unrelated to the main topic or subject. This approach is opposite to modern specialization and professionalism concepts. Creativity is uniting from diversity. Specialization and professionalism discourage diversity and thus negatively affect creativity.

Blog postFor my second book titled “Philosophy Unscrambles Dark Matter”, I was in need to explain flat rotation curves of galaxies. To visualize the mass distribution in the galaxy, I made a sort of simulation in MS Excel. Following was the final product of the mass distribution in terms of Newton’s Theorem XXXIII.
These are all square cells of MS Excel. One colored cell let’s say represents 1 billion solar masses. At the center, there is only one box. In the first layer around the center, th
