     Develop or Die

In our daily mundane lives we never ever give a single thought about the extra-terrestrial life just like the native Indians in central america never thought of European settlers the so called "Explorer's"coming to their land an then throwing them out of the picture not just because of any hate, but just because "They can so they did" either for more profits or for better efficient system for themselves.

Think what if someday we all humans get a visitor - an alien Columbus  with its troop of hundreds others, then what options are we left with? Lets discuss this today.

So according to soviet astronomer - Nikolai Kardashev, We can measure the technological advancement of a particular civilization based on the amount of energy they are able to use.
He called this scale - KARDASHEV SCALE, and according to this we can group all alien civilization into 3 groups.



  • A Type I civilization, also called a planetary civilization—can use and store all of the energy available on its planet.
  • A Type II civilization, also called a stellar civilization—can use and control energy at the scale of its stellar system.
  • A Type III civilization, also called a galactic civilization—can control energy at the scale of its entire host galaxy                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                           According to kardashev scale, we have achieved 70% of Type 1 civilization (a civilization that can harness all the energy from their planet).Just imagine, If someday a fleet of UFO's enter our planet tearing the clouds apart, they will surely be of type 2 or type 3 civilization and the first thing they will do is to vaporize our resources and us for their energy needs. And being type 2 or type 3 civilization they will be like god to us, Invincible!.                                                                                                      So it's better to become type 2 or type 3 civilization than to get vaporized. Don't underestimate this thing, If we humans can colonize different nations and uncharted territories just for a spice like "pepper" then think what a civilization can do to fulfill their energy needs.                                             
  • Our world is just one discovery/instance away from breaking the famous fermi-pardox and the world will not be same again.                                                                                                                   -SHUBHAM RAO

    Black Sheep

    26th March Thursday 12:00 a.m (IST) Black Sheep : Right from our childhood we are told to follow someone or to be like someone. We compare our lives with the lives of our role models  and our parents compare us with the neighbour's kids.  This comparing and following is so entangled in our reality that we live our entire lives just by adapting, adapting & adapting that we sadly forget to create & innovate our lives.     Darwin explained how intelligent species adapted the environment and other species to survive in a new habitat, which is crucial part of evolution. But there is something more to it, the best survivors are not the ones who are not just mere copies of different species but best survivors are those that acquire certain traits and also express themselves, their characteristics along with it.     Most of the Homo's species including erectus, sapiens and neanderthals they were almost same in their built and structure just he...

    Life that matters.

    28th March, 2020 Saturday 05:15 p.m (IST) Life that matters . Scientists, philosophers and many great thinkers have consumed their whole lives in search for meaning of life.To understand the answer, We have to understand why we care about this question in first place or why only humans care to find the answer?    We Sapiens have great power of imagination and its the one of the most important power we have, followed by emotional intelligence and cooperation. We learn from our past and we plan for our future while living in present. Its been rightly said that our mind is itself  "a time travelling machine"- one second we can reconcile our memory from our childhood and the other second we can think for an event going to happen in few weeks and this power of jumping in from past to present to future has given us the natural curiosity to understand everything around and to relate it with our past, present and future. Like for e.g. If a hunter/forager luckily gets ...
