Is there life on other planets?
For years we Earthlings have wondered whether we are alone in the universe or whether we’ve got company in the shape of aliens.
People have claimed to have met aliens, seen UFOs – unidentified flying objects – and some people even say they’ve been abducted by extra terrestrials. But what do we really know about them – if they exist at all?
What would aliens look like?
Ever since we realised there might be something out there our imaginations have created thousands of bizarre creatures but at the moment no one knows what an alien might look like.But even if we do ever come across aliens in space, most scientists agree they probably won’t look like little green men.If aliens exists, experts reckon they’re probably very small and look something like a bug.
Where might aliens live?
According to scientists Mars is the best bet for a home for aliens. This is because Mars has got water on it, and there has to be water on a planet to support life. However there are thought to be thousands of solar systems in space – planets going around a central star like the sun. However, we’ve only found one other on solar system. It is possible that life may exist on this solar system but only if the conditions are just right. Experts also think aliens won’t live outside. Many environments are too harsh for life as we know it, so space missions will be looking underground.
What are we doing to find aliens?
The search for ET is taking us deeper into space. So far more than 100 planets have been spotted among these stars although none of them look like a good place for ET to live. Beagle 2 is the first British lead mission to Mars. It will be looking for signs of aliens – by sniffing the air for alien farts! “If there is an organism somewhere, it might be a 1000 mils away, doing it’s thing, then it will produce waste products. “The whole of the atmosphere will pass over Beagle and it will sit there and sniff it. We’re calling this the baked beans experiment!” explained Beagle Mission scientist Colin Pillinger.
Many environments are too harsh for life to exist in, so Beagle 2 will be tunneling underground. But if there are any really clever aliens out there a space program called SETI – Search for Extra terrestrial Intelligence – hopes to be the first to know using telescopes. So far we’ve heard nothing from ET and his friends but that may be because our technology is not good enough yet.
Our chances of picking up signs of alien intelligence are about to improve though – as SETI is now building 350 new telescopes to scan more stars than ever.
Has anyone seen an alien?
Over the years thousands of people have been convinced that we Earthlings have been visited by aliens from other civilisations.But there’s one problem with this – the number of aliens actually discovered is zero. There are lots of photos and films of apparent sightings but most have a logical explanation like aeroplanes and military exercises.
Or they’re hoaxes!
But others say comets could have helped start life on Earth. They’re not certain but if they’re right it means that we could all be aliens!
The Bermuda Triangle (also known as the Devil’s Triangle) is a triangular area in the Atlantic Ocean bounded roughly at its points by Miami, Bermuda, and Puerto Rico. Legend has it that many people, ships and planes have mysteriously vanished in this area. How many have mysteriously disappeared depends on who is doing the locating and the counting. The size of the triangle varies from 500,000 square miles to three times that size, depending on the imagination of the author. (Some include the Azores, the Gulf of Mexico, and the West Indies in the “triangle.”) Some trace the mystery back to the time of Columbus. Even so, estimates range from about 200 to no more than 1,000 incidents in the past 500 years. Howard Rosenberg claims that in 1973 the U.S. Coast Guard answered more than 8,000 distress calls in the area and that more than 50 ships and 20 planes have gone down in the Bermuda Triangle within the last century.
Many theories have been given to explain the extraordinary mystery of these missing ships and planes. Evil extraterrestrials, residue crystals from Atlantis, evil humans with anti-gravity devices or other weird technologies, and vile vortices from the fourth dimension are favorites among fantasy writers. Strange magnetic fields and oceanic flatulence (methane gas from the bottom of the ocean) are favorites among the technically-minded. Weather (thunderstorms, hurricanes, tsunamis, earthquakes, high waves, currents, etc.) bad luck, pirates, explosive cargoes, incompetent navigators, and other natural and human causes are favorites among skeptical investigators.
Countless theories attempting to explain the many disappearances have been offered throughout the history of the area. The most practical seem to be environmental and those citing human error. The majority of disappearances can be attributed to the area’s unique environmental features. First, the “Devil’s Triangle” is one of the two places on earth that a magnetic compass does point towards true north. Normally it points toward magnetic north. The difference between the two is known as compass variation. The amount of variation changes by as much as 20 degrees as one circumnavigates the earth. If this compass variation or error is not compensated for, a navigator could find himself far off course and in deep trouble.
Magnetic Compass’s Erratic behaviour in the Bermuda Triangle
An area called the “Devil’s Sea” by Japanese and Filipino seamen, located off the east coast of
Japan, also exhibits the same magnetic characteristics. It is also known for its mysterious disappearances.
There are some skeptics who argue that the facts do not support the legend, that there is no mystery to be solved, and nothing that needs explaining .The number of wrecks in this area is not extraordinary, given its size, location and the amount of traffic it receives. Many of the ships and planes that have been identified as having disappeared mysteriously in the Bermuda Triangle were not in the Bermuda Triangle at all. Investigations to date have not produced scientific evidence of any unusual phenomena involved in the disappearances. Thus, any explanation, including so-called scientific ones in terms of methane gas being released from the ocean floor, magnetic disturbances, etc., are not needed. The real mystery is how the Bermuda Triangle became a mystery at all.
The movie had some very good narration in the beginnin and at te end…..The narration goes like dis….
First lines:
No one would have believed in the early years of the twenty-first century that our world was being watched by intelligences greater than our own; that as men busied themselves about their various concerns, *they* observed and studied, the way a man with a microscope might scrutinize the creatures that swarm and multiply in a drop of water. With infinite complacency, men went to and fro about the globe, confident of our empire over this world. Yet across the gulf of space, intellects vast and cool and unsympathetic regarded our planet with envious eyes and slowly, and surely, drew their plans against us.
Last lines :
From the moment the invaders arrived, breathed our air, ate, and drank, they were doomed. They were undone, destroyed, after all of man’s weapons and devices had failed, by the tiniest creatures that God in his wisdom put upon this earth. By the toll of a billion deaths, man had earned his immunity, his right to survive among this planet’s infinite organisms. And that right is ours against all challenges. For neither do men live nor die in vain.

Tweety Bird (also known as Tweety Pie or simply Tweety) is a fictional character in the Warner Bros. Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies series of animated cartoons. Tweety’s popularity, like that of The Tasmanian Devil, actually grew in the years following the dissolution of the Looney Tunes cartoons. Today Tweety is considered, along with Taz and Bugs Bunny, among the most popular of the Looney Tunes characters, especially (because of his “cute” appearance and personality) among girls and young women. Despite widespread speculation that he was female, Tweety is and has always been a male character.
Creation :
Bob Clampett created the character that would become Tweety Bird in the 1942 short A Tale of Two Kitties, pitting him against two hungry cats named Babbit and Catstello (based on the famous comedians Abbott and Costello). On the original model sheet, Tweety was named Orson (which was also the name of a bird character from an earlier Clampett cartoon Wacky Blackouts).
Tweety was originally naked (pink), jowly, and far more aggressive and saucy, as opposed to the later, more well-known version of him as a less hot-tempered (but still somewhat ornery) yellow canary. the documentary Bugs Bunny: Superstar, animator Clampett stated, in a sotto voce “aside” to the audience, that Tweety had been based “on my own naked baby picture”. Clampett did three more shorts with the “naked genius”, as a Jimmy Durante-ish cat once called him in Gruesome Twosome. The last of these,
Birdy and the Beast, finally bestowed the baby bird with his name.
Many of Mel Blanc’s characters are known for speech impediments. One of Tweety’s most noticeable is that “s” is changed to a “t” or “d” sound; for example, “pussy cat” comes out as “putty tat” or sometimes rendered “puddy tat”, and “sweetie pie” comes out as “tweetie pie”. He also has trouble with the “r” and “l” sounds. As with Elmer Fudd, it tends to come out as a “w”. He also has troubles with guttarals, such as “g”. In Putty Tat Trouble, he begins the cartoon singing a song about himself, “I’m a tweet wittow biwd in a diwded cage; Tweety’th my name but I don’t my age…” (Translation: “I’m a sweet little bird in a gilded cage…”) Aside from this speech challenge, Tweety’s voice (and a fair amount of his attitude) is similar to that of Bugs Bunny, rendered as a child (in The Old Grey Hare, Bugs infant voice was very similar to Tweety’s normal voice).

3.“I’ve spent muddy days watching young lads beat the hell out of each other. But once in a while, there’s one that comes along and lifts your heart.”
1)China started their family planning policy in 1970, India in 1952 In 2001 our birth rate was nearly 3 times more than China. 27 births per 1000 as against 8.8 for China! India is adding 18 million people per year, against 9 million per year in China. Total addition to population is a function of total births minus total deaths.
2)How will we provide additional 10 million jobs per year?
The Public Sector and State/Central Government, which is already overstaffed, has a total of 18.7 million employees, therefore offers very little scope for new employment. We have to look outside the government for new employment.The unorganized sector and the SME’s (SSI is not SME) offer the maximum scope for employment, like in all other countries of the world, including China. SME’s account for nearly 75% of employment and 80% of trainees!
3)The Government can only facilitate jobs, they cannot provide jobs for the 300 million partly or fully unemployed in India!At 10 million jobs per year it will take us 30 years to remove unemployment, at 5 million jobs for year it will take us 60 years!
The present Indian ‘mind set’ will require rethinking and reorganization of the existing perceptions about Public Sector enterprises, and the actual role they are supposed to play! Only efficient organizations can deliver results and growth. Only better governance
and efficient administration can deliver results!
4)India’s per capita earning is US$440 per year against US$990 per year in China
As per the World Bank, the poverty line definition is US$1 per person per day or US$365/person/year, for underdeveloped countries like India, China etc. As per the official data from both governments, China has 3% population below the poverty line, compared to India’s 26 to 29%! Only better governance will help.
5)China attracts 87 million tourists per year (this is expected to reach 90 million in 2002) against 2.5 million per year to India.The international Tourism Industry is [7 times the size of I.T. or software] about, US$3700 billion per year. India, in spite of its old history
and 21 cultures and languages, seems to have ‘missed the bus’, in Tourism. Tourism is a very big employment generator. It is estimated that every one tourist generates 2 to 4 jobs. Tourism promotes International trade and understanding.
6)In Foreign Direct investment, FDI, China + Hong Kong received US$106 billion last year [US$70billion from NRC's] vs US$3.6 billion [US$0.2b from NRI's] for India! Only better Governance can attract FDI and Tourists. In exports, China is nearly +700% of India
Taking the exports of Hong Kong + Macau into account, China’s exports would be +1000% of India! China’s GDP is 50% in manufacturing or $ 650 billion per year. India’s GDP is 25% in manufacturing or $110 billion per year. China’s manufacturing base is
nearly 6 times of India’s.
7)In agriculture our yields per acre, are well below the international norms
India could be a giant exporter of food, only if we could put our ‘house in order’ to near world class standards! China with lesser cultivable land, produces double the food grains, at 415 million tons per year compared with India’s 208 million tons per year. God has been very kind to India with a lot of sunshine, rain, rivers, lakes, coastline and good hard working citizens.
8)The governance of hamlets, villages, cities, districts, Government and Semi-Government agencies, as facilitators, have not done enough to show the results that India is able or capable of achieving. India would definitely rate as the No.1 country in the world, for Potential vs Performance!
9)Indians score high marks on performance, outside India! This is because the Governance is better outside. In countries where the Governance & Administration is poor, the performance of its citizens is also low!
10)In Education, 99.1% of Chinese children attend school for 9 years, this ensures a high level of literacy. In India, literacy is 50 to 60% While IIT’s, IIM’s are important, the country’s real growth will come because of primary and secondary education and vocational and educational training in all districts of the country. India can rise and shine in exports, agriculture, literacy and other areas with better governance.
11)Understanding the Real and Virtual India!
There are two India’s, one where we live and the other is the Virtual India, with an estimated GDP of US $ +320 billion per year,where about 20 to 25 million NRI’s and PIO’s live. Their hearts are in India and they are emotionally tied to India. If we can attract them and woo them, they could be a good source of funding projects for India’s growth plans. The Chinese have learnt the art of wooing and managing their NRC’s who number about 45 to 50 million. Last year the NRC’s invested about US$ 70 billion into China + Hong Kong + Macau. India, inspite of its best efforts, received only US$ 0.2 billion from NRI’s last year! India inports nearly US$ 8 to 10 billion worth of Gold every year. This means that we have imported nearly US$ 96 to 120 billion worth of Gold, in the last 12 years, since liberalization of the economy. We should try to find ways to ‘funnel’ this retail investment into more economical areas, to benifit the
Nation and it’s people.
12. How has China managed to get large FDI inflows from the NRC’s?
Maybe, there is a lesson to be learnt by us, as to how China is able to woo its NRC’s! The largest banks in Hong Kong, HSBC and Standard Chartered, may be able to throw some light on how the NRC’s have been able to invest so much in to China and Hong Kong.
13. India’s POT of GOLD how can we get it back?
It is estimated that a large amount of Indian Money, is lying outside India, due to poor governance & administration of India and due to past regimes of controls and high taxation. The quality of our Governance & Administration is still not to World
Class standards. If India can put its House in Order, to near World Class Standards, a substantial part of this money could easily come back to drive the Indian economy. Estimates of funds lying outside range from US$ 100 billion to US$ 400 billion! India’s
total foreign debt is about US$100 billion. The Indian Government should plan for 30 year Infrastructure Bonds, with a coupon rate of 4 to 6%, both for domestic Citizens as well as for NRI’s, with tax breaks and incentives. No questions should be asked
about the source of funds. India requires US$ 180 to 200 billion for connecting the water ways and rivers, for Ports, Airports, Railways and roads. After the 2nd World war, when Germany was devasted, the German Government came out with a similar scheme to build the Nation. the interest rates are very low in the international markets and interest rates are also dropping in India. It may be a good
time to consider such proposals.
14. Only Good Governance and Effective Administration
can attract higher FDI into India and induce money to flow back.
