About Khuram Rafique
Writing books has been fifth stage in my intellectual development. First stage was that world and reality appeared too strange to me to make proper sense. Either I had to get clarity or to live a perplexing life. I became like a bookworm and my task was to extract maximum sense out of reading and pondering. A stage came when my mind flooded with ideas that kept me under trance but I also started facing the problem of forgetting many of those ideas. Only to keep those ideas in memory, I started writing diaries. That was second stage. Third stage was facilitated by newly emerged blogging facility that helped me track and organize my ideas into short articles. At fourth stage, I became author of two book chapters of two different academic projects. I had no relevant academic qualification for both projects but both times I was honored as my contribution was solicited by those (South Asian) Universities. Back in year 2006, my one short blog article was discussed on a USA Radio Program with Zoologists. The topic of that blog article related to difference between human mind and animal mind. I shall further elaborate that topic in my upcoming book on Epistemological Realism.
At fifth stage, now I am in process of writing complete books on various topics. Topics and subjects of my books do not relate to my actual educational or professional background. My qualification on writing about topics (of my books) is simply "I think therefore I can." After a long struggle with various philosophical themes, now I am settled with 'Epistemological Realism' and it is the pursuit of realism that compelled me to thoroughly analyze various aspects of Physics to see how they actually represent underlying reality.

Blog postIt seems like there is no simple method for doing this task. Postgresql’s ‘bytea’ datatype field is resolved in MS Access linked table as ‘binary’ where simple image uploading method is not even available. There are also reports that already saved images in Postgresql are not resolved as images in the linked ‘binary’ field of MS Access forms and reports.
Adding images to postgresql database is also not cost effective. For the moderate number of images to be added through the applicati5 months ago Read more -
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.

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 visible6 months ago Read more -
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 p6 months ago Read more -
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 treatment6 months ago Read more

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 be6 months ago Read more -
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 gravity6 months ago Read more -
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 gr6 months ago Read more -
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.

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.
