The Hubble Telescope
- Dikshanta Singh - 21136, Grad ... 08 September, 2020

From the birth of creation to a mere 400 years ago, everything we learned about our world came from naked-eye observations. Galileo then aimed his telescope in 1610 toward the heavens. The earth was already in for an awakening. We discovered, Saturn had rings. Jupiter had moons over there. The nebulous patch, called the Milky Way, across the middle of the sky was not a cloud but a series of countless stars. In only a few years, our notion of the natural world will be transformed forever. A revolution in science and culture soon followed. 

In the following decades, telescopes grew in length, diversity, and, naturally, in strength. They were put as far away as possible from the city lights and above the haze of the atmosphere. In the 1920s at Mt. Wilson Observatory near Pasadena, Calif. Edwin Hubble, after whom the Hubble Telescope is named, used the largest telescope of his day to explore galaxies beyond ours. The observatory, Hubble, is the first large optical telescope to be mounted in space, the ultimate mountaintop. Hubble has an unimpeded view of the world over the distortion of the atmosphere, well above rain clouds and light pollution. In our solar system, scientists used Hubble to study the most distant stars and galaxies, as well as the planets. 

The launch and deployment of Hubble in April 1990 marked the greatest advance in astronomy since the Galileo telescope. Our view of the world and our position inside it has never been the same thanks to five servicing missions and more than 25 years of service.

आमाको माया 
- Sinja Ghimire - 21125, Grade ... 08 September, 2020

“आमा ! मेरो मोजा खै ?” “त्यहीँ छ हेर न राम्ररी ।” उताबाट उत्तर आयो । “छैन के, हेरिसकें मैले ।” मैले फेरि भनेँ । आमा आएर दराज खोलिन् अनि चमत्कार भयो । आधा घण्टादेखि त्यही दराजमा खोजेको तर नभेटेको मोजा अचानक प्रकट भयो । आमाको आँखा तेजिलो हो कि मेरो कमजोर, थाहा छैन । आमा, खाजा खै ? यो खै, त्यो खै ? हरेक घरमा सबै खैको उत्तर आमाले नै दिन्छिन् । 

मलाई संसार देखाउने मेरो संसार हौ तिमी, आमा ! मेरो सफलतामा मभन्दा खुसी हुने र मेरो हारमा मजस्तै दुःखी हुने मेरो सबैभन्दा प्रिय शुभचिन्तक तिमी नै हौ । मैले नभनेका चाहानाहरू पुरा गरिदिने अन्तर्यामी हुन् आमा । सधैँ मेरो साथ दिने सहयात्री र दुःख सुख बाँड्ने साथी पनि हुन् आमा । उदासीमा साथ दिने पनि आमा । खुसीमा साथ दिने पनि आमा । बाँच्ने आधार हुन् आमा । अँध्यारो लाग्छ संसार आमाबिना । सन्तानको उज्यालो वर्तमानको किरण हुन् आमा । 

कठिन छ आमा ! तिमीजस्तो बन्न । कोसिस नगरेको त होइन तर सकिनँ । सक्दिनँ पीडा लुकाएर मुस्कुराउन । सक्दिनँ मायाले घृणालाई मेटाउन । सक्दिनँ कुभलो सोच्नेको भलो चिताउन अनि सक्दिनँ तिम्रो निस्वार्थ मायालाई जित्न । माया त धेरै गर्छु तिमीलाई तर सायद कहिल्यै व्यक्त गर्न नै आएन । तर प्रयास गर्नेछु तिमीलाई खुसी पार्न ।

थाहा छैन यी कलमका मसी फिका हुन् कि मेरो दिमागको शब्दकोश, मेरा लागि आमा भगवान् अनि म उनलाई पूजा गर्ने पुजारी ।

चिहानको प्रगति र

त्यसैसँग हराएका रङ्गहीन इन्द्रेणीमा

भोजन नकारेको भोकको उल्लासले

विरहको थोपा ढिक्का भएर पल्टिरहेछ,

ढुङ्गाको ग्रन्थले कालको खड्ग भिरेर

निच-निर्लज्जताको पासो थापिरहेछ।

ओरालो लागेको प्राप्तिको किरणले पनि

तुहिएको सपनाले सङ्घर्षको पहाड छोपिरहेछ।।

 

पुष्प दिव्यको अहङ्कारले लोलाएका

पाइलाहरू लाखौँ सपनाका गन्तव्य पछ्याइरहेछन्,

कुल्चिएर झारिएका विवश कल्पनाको

हसिन सभ्यताको रापले

कान्तिहीन अग्नि तापिरहेछ ।।

 

नवीन किरणको अल्पाहारी पिशाच बनेर

सोमरसको चुस्कीसँगै उत्तेजित हुन्डरीको

बहाबमा उही गिद्धे नजरको अनुसरण

मदिराको भोकले लालायित मर्दका छातीहरू

आदर्शको सिनोमा पनि

ताजापन औँल्याइरहेछन् l l

 

आँखी झ्यालको प्वालमा पनि

शान्ति र अमनचयनको झुटो तृष्णाले

व्याकुल गिद्धका सिद्धान्तले मुख थापिरहेछ

र युद्ध विरामका घाउसँगै

विलुप्त भएर मझेरीमा झारिएकाे

आँसुले मूल्य मागिरहेछ।।

Age Of Ancient Science And The Assyrian
- Nirdesh Jung Pandey - 21114, ... 06 September, 2020

While our comprehension of things like epilepsy, the stars, the state of the Earth, and the working of the human body has changed drastically throughout the long term, antiquated societies stood up to a similar universe as we do. Despite the fact that their thoughts regarding how that universe functions are frequently so unique in relation to our own as to be unrecognizable, there are additionally incalculable bits of knowledge concealed in logical compositions from more than 2,000 years prior. This is the first in a progression of posts about the historical backdrop of logical requests all through various societies and timeframes.

There is no basic "starting" to the historical backdrop of science, however probably the most seasoned proof we have of people attempting to understand the universe utilizing reason and arithmetic originates from the antiquated center east. Specifically, the gathering of individuals known as the Assyrians, who lived in what is currently Iraq, expounded widely on the stars, human science, and arithmetic, as did their numerous neighbors, including the Babylonians and the Israelites.

At the point when students of the history of science read these compositions, nonetheless, they can't depend on the antiquated author utilizing natural phrasing. Medication is an ideal model. As a rule, Assyrians lived in 700 B.C.E. would have encountered a significant number of similar illnesses and diseases that we manage today, however, how they portrayed and categorized them was very extraordinary.

The state of epilepsy, for example, was expounded on all through the old world, and no less in Assyria, however one of the words they used to depict it, Bennu, was likewise used to portray spasms of different kinds. What they called "Bennu-ailment" was viewed as communicable, however, epilepsy isn't.

Subsequently, archeologists and antiquarians of science must utilize all data they can to bit together what the Assyrians thought about human science. As of late, another bit of Assyrian composing was found that encourages us to better see how the Assyrians contemplated epilepsy.

समाज सेवा
- Subham Regmi - 2022014, Grade ... 06 September, 2020

समाज सेवा दुई शब्द मिलेर बनेको छ - 'समाज' र ‘सेवा’ । समाज मानिसहरूको व्यवस्थित समूह हो भने सेवा भनेको अरूको भलाइ वा हित गर्ने काम हो । कुनै आशा नराखी नि:स्वार्थ भावले गरिने कार्य नै समाज सेवा हो । त्यसैले हामीले अरूको मद्दत गरी सबैलाई खुसी बनाउनुपर्छ । हामीले जे गर्छाैँ, त्यसकै आधारमा फल पाउँछाैँ।

मानवको जन्म समाजकै सेवाका लागि भएकाले जीवन सार्थक बनाउनका लागि अनि आत्मिक सुख प्राप्तिका निम्ति समाज सेवा गर्नु आवश्यक छ । खालि आफ्नो मात्रै दुनाे साेझ्याउनेहरू स्वार्थी हुन् । स्वार्थी व्यक्तिहरूले परसेवामा जोड दिँदैनन् । भौतिक सुख प्राप्तिका निम्ति मात्र काेही मानिस लाग्दछ भने त्यस्ताे मानिसले समाज सेवा गर्दै गर्दैन । यसैले समाजसेवीले सामाजिक उत्तरदायित्व, अनुशासन र ‘सेवा नै धर्म हाे' भन्ने भावनालाई मनन गर्नुपर्छ । दान दिनु, चौतारी बनाउनु, परोपकार गर्नु, साझा हितका निमित्त कार्य गर्नु, लोक कल्याणकारी तथा सेवाका नाममा मागी खाने भाँडो नबनाउनु नै स्वर्गीय सुख वा आनन्द प्राप्तिको मार्ग हो । समाज सेवाका नाममा प्रशस्त विकृति एवम् विसङ्गति देखा परे पनि त्यसको निराकरण गरी हामीले आफूमा सुख लिन होइन दिन जन्मेकाे हुँ भन्ने भावनाकाे विकास गर्नुपर्छ, त्यसैले हामीले समाज सेवामा लिनुभन्दा दिनुपर्छ। सिङ्गाे युगलाई आश्चर्यचकित पार्ने गरी फलोरेन्स नाइटिङ्गेल, हेनरी ड्युना आदिले समाज सेवा गरेका थिए । त्यसैले समाजसेवा एकदमै महत्त्वपूर्ण देखिन्छ । अहिले त नेपालमा पनि युवावर्ग समाज सेवामा दिन रात निःस्वार्थ रूपमा खटिरहेका देखिन्छन् । हामी अहिले यही विषम परिस्थितिमा हेर्न सक्छाैँ कि नेपाली युवाहरू याे महामारीमा गरिब, दुखी, भोका, प्यासा व्यक्तिहरूलाई सेवा प्रदान गरिरहेका छन् । 

यसरी समाज सेवा मानवको धर्म वा पुण्य कमाउने बाटो हो । सेवाभाव राखी समाज सेवामा समर्पित हुने, परपीडा नदिने, आफ्नाे क्षमताअनुसार मन, वचन र कर्मले सेवा गर्नेजस्ता कार्य गर्नु नै वास्तवमा पक्का समाज सेवी बन्नु हो, जसबाट समाज सेवा यथार्थमा झल्किन्छ ।

Global Warming
- Sinja Ghimire - 21125, Grade ... 03 September, 2020

Day by day, we have a tendency to area units feeling nice changes within the atmosphere and climate of the world. The earth's atmosphere is obtaining heat bit by bit but the method has become quick within the previous few years. The natural disasters we have a tendency to face currently each day like earthquakes, tsunami, cyclones, storms, thunder, etc area unit the results of warming. We have a tendency to area units feeling an enormous amendment within the season’s length like the winter season is obtaining short and also the summer season is obtaining long. Polar icecaps and glaciers are unit melting to a good extent.

Global warming has affected the world during a Brobdingnagian manner. Some results of the worldwide warming area unit: The breakdown of ice within the chain of mountains regions Flood tidal wave and different calamities area unit occurring in numerous components of the planet. Many of us are unit dying thanks to extreme hotness and thirst. The productive land has dried thanks to lack of enough precipitation whereas numerous places area units have been flooded. Global warming happens once greenhouse gas (CO2) and different air pollutants and greenhouse gases collect within the atmosphere and absorb daylight and radiation that have bounced off the earth’s surface. Normally, this radiation would escape into space—but these pollutants, which may last for years to centuries within the atmosphere, lure the warmth and cause the world to induce heat. That is what is called the atmospheric phenomenon. Deforestation & Tree-Clearing Plants and trees play a vital role in regulating the climate as a result of they absorb greenhouse gas from the air and unharness gas back to it. Forests and bushland act as carbon sinks and area units are valuable means of keeping warming away. Burning fossil fuels: after we burn fossil fuels like coal, and gas to form electricity or power our cars, we have a tendency to unharness carbon dioxide pollution into the atmosphere that is the major reason for warming. Solutions: Expanding the employment of renewable energy and remodeling our energy system to at least one that's cleaner and less enthusiastic about coal and different fossil fuels. Place limits on the number of carbon that polluters area units allowed to emit. Build a clean energy economy by investing in economical energy technologies, industries, and approaches. cut back tropical deforestation and its associated warming emissions. The Paris Agreement is an associate agreement inside the international organization Framework Convention on global climate change (UNFCCC), handling greenhouse-gas-emissions mitigation, adaptation, and finance, signed in 2016. 196 countries have signed the agreement. The Paris Agreement's central aim is to strengthen the world response to the threat of global climate change by keeping a worldwide temperature rise this century well below a pair of degrees astronomer higher than pre-industrial levels and to pursue efforts to limit the temperature increase even more to one.5 degrees astronomer. to boot, the agreement aims to strengthen the power of nations to traumatize the impacts of global climate change.

AK-47: The Most Iconic Rifle
- Girwan Paudyal - 21107, Grade ... 02 September, 2020

 

The AK-47 (Automatic Kalashnikov-47) has been a dominant automatic rifle ever since its development in 1945. During World War II (WW-II), automatic rifles were not properly developed; soldiers mainly used SMGs (sub-machine guns) for close range and bolt-action semi-auto rifles for long-range. However, Germans broke through this obstacle with their Sturmgewehr 44 rifle, which combined the firing rate of an SMG and the accuracy of a bolt rifle. Thus, it could shoot accurately and could fire more rounds even at long range. Fascinated and threatened, the Soviets got around developing their own automatic rifle and thus, AK-47 came into being.

 After WW-II, the economy around the world dipped, and also, the cold war began. The AK-47 came into wide success during this time. An automatic rifle made up of metal and wood, and able to support 30 round magazines, that could be produced cheaply and was sturdy on the battlefield was then being wielded by every soldier. It heavily influenced the proxy wars between Communism and Capitalism. It is still in widespread use- many armed forces of countries and armies still relying on the AK.

While the AK-47 left an iconic mark on the world, however, it would soon meet its new competitor, the M16, or the better developed M4 carbine. Although AK-47 was fairly reliable, it would often need constant cleaning and taking care of. AK-47 would often be jammed if any kind of dirt or mud got into it and thus, couldn’t be relied on in extreme weather. The M4 carbine, however, was an even sturdier rifle, not jamming too often, standing harsh conditions, and was also fully customizable with scopes and grenade launchers.

 Even though the M4 surpasses the AK in raw firepower and accuracy, still the AK paved the way for more automatic rifles and still remains in wide use today. Thus, it could certainly be hailed as the most iconic rifle in the world.

Racism: A Biological And Psychological Viewpoint
- Aashrab Khanal - 2022001, Gra ... 01 September, 2020

The word "race" is said to have originated in the 15th century from French and Italian. The roots of the word are not found in Latin and ancient Greek. Race makes the word we know as "Racism". The word "Racism" basically means to have hatred towards an individual or a group based on their race or ethnicity. It is also the belief that people of a particular race are inferior or superior to the people of another race. The topic of racism has spurred up in recent months in many countries of the world. Racism is a very sensitive topic to discuss which causes many people to neglect it in fear of criticism. That is why while writing about "Race" we should express our ideas from a neutral view like any other extraterrestrial being would do in this situation.

The word "race" was first used to denote the social qualities of people of different nationalities. ‎Later after the start of colonialism and the rise of polygenism belief, people started attributing race to the physical appearance of men. Today we know that Homo sapiens are the only human species present on planet Earth and the human subspecies consists of mainly four races. They are the Caucasoid (White), the Negroid(Black), the Mongoloid(Yellow), and the Australoid(Aborigines). This type of difference occurred due to evolution and mutation in Homo sapiens and other external factors like climate, geography, and migration of human species. It is known that Homo sapiens first appeared in east Africa. From there, various groups started to migrate north towards Eurasia. At that time Homo sapiens were not the only human species present on earth. The inbreeding among various human species is said to be one of the major reasons for today's diversity. For example, Homo Sapiens is said to have bred with Homo Neanderthalensis which is why we can find up to 2% Neanderthalensis gene in many Europeans and Asians. Similarly, people of different places have a diverse gene pool. But we do not find the gene of another species in the native African population. Biologically speaking there is only the phenotype difference between different races of human species. The concept of physical and mental superiority among different races is not true in the majority of cases. If one species outperforms and survives, then it is indeed a superior species. But this argument doesn't apply to races inside a specific species of a living organism.

The psychological viewpoint of racism is very complex but can be narrowed down to a number of factors and psychological traits. We, humans, are a very interactive species hence cooperation is our strength. That is why we form groups to tackle a bigger problem. That has developed the concept of ingroups and outgroups. There are many examples of this type of conflict in our daily lives. A conflict can arise between groups of people supporting different football teams or groups of people following different political ideologies. In an ingroup and outgroup conflict, people recognize each other by means of some physical representations. For example, the person supporting a football team can be easily identified by his jersey or if he is chanting the team's name. But things like jerseys and badges can be removed and the means of identification can be erased. In the case of inter-race conflict, a black man cannot just change the color of his skin and other physical traits and escape hate from the white community. But racism cannot simply be explained on the basis of the ingroup and outgroup conflict. Racism is often found to be ingrained in social norms and values. For example in America, Africans were brought there as slaves and people compared them to animals who don't need rights and are chosen by the god to work for superior white people. Racism is based on the balance between physical and moral qualities. Many other social forces and interactions help to strengthen the bias towards a minority. 

Even though many people believe that the problem of racism has been solved, it is still present in our society and still affects the life of many people. These biases are in an implicit form where we are not conscious of such activities.  That is why many people today associate "blackness" to crime. If every person is made conscious about race through means of biological and psychological perspective then racism can be uprooted from the very core of our society. I believe that everyone should play a role to reduce not only racial discrimination but caste discrimination.  The following quote greatly sums up my argument.

"There is no such thing as race. None. There is just a human race — scientifically, anthropologically."    - Toni Morrison

What Really Are Time Paradoxes?
- Kripa Humagain - 21110, Grade ... 31 August, 2020

A time paradox could be a paradox or a logical contradiction which is largely associated with the idea of time travel and time. There are many theories and paradoxes related to time traveling. Some of the famous paradoxes are the Grandfather paradox, Predestination paradox, Let's kill Hitler paradox, Twin paradox, etc.

Talking about Let's kill Hitler paradox, it is about traveling through time into the past and killing Hitler. Let's take an example, if we travel back in time and kill a famous person before they become famous, the person will never become famous which means we have no reason to travel back in time and kill that person. Likewise, there will be no reason to travel back in time and kill Hitler. And this means we never travel back in time, kill him and Hitler will once again rise to power. And again, we will travel back in time and kill him and it will form a continuous paradoxical time loop. The grandfather paradox is all about traveling back in time and kill your grandfather, which means you aren't born so you can't go back in time and kill your grandfather, thus you are born and travel back in time which also forms a continuous paradoxical time loop.

Talking about solutions, currently, time-traveling is impossible which will never form any paradox. Multiverse, not the solution but it is about, if we go back in time and change something this new world would exist in a separate universe from the one we originally lived in. And when we travel back in time and we succeed and we completely erase the previous timeline we were from and now we have to live with a belief that we can never return to our real home.

Why Is Female Leadership Important?
- Shruti Pokhrel - 21124, Grade ... 30 August, 2020

“The hand that rocks the cradle rules the world”. As truly said by William Ross Wallace, the hand that rocks the cradle, the procreator, the mother of tomorrow, a woman shapes the destiny of civilization. Such is the tragic irony of fate that still females continue to be vastly under-represented in leadership bodies and decision-making in politics and businesses. Though it is said that females as leaders and decision-makers at all levels are the end to gender-disparity and to confront socio-cultural drivers of gender inequality still, in most of the scenarios, a female’s leadership is bound within the four walls of a house and involved in decision-making over household incomes only.

Leadership is all about the attitude and social influence of building and articulating an inspiring vision, making decisions produced by a conviction, and ignited by purpose. We can see that most of the roles are gendered but nowadays there is growing recognition of the capacity and talents of females and females’ leadership. Females of this era are constantly evolving and are resolved to break the traditional glass that barred them from entering leadership positions even if they are capable enough and possess requisite skills and talents to occupy them. It is often heard that leadership is not gendered specific, after all, it is leadership. Both males and females can be good leaders but they both show distinctly different styles of leadership. Most of the studies have shown that female leaders are more transformational than male leaders, they are task-focused and ready to work collaboratively in a team that is more of a feminine nature. The best example of female leadership is Jacinda Ardern, New Zealand’s prime minister. Although she is a mother of a newly born child, she’s been constantly and effectively involved in political matters too. She’s proven to the world that the hand that rocks the cradle can do anything else. She’s been an authentic leader who emphasizes empathy, kindness rather than powers. Under her leadership, New Zealand successfully eliminated the coronavirus. She is a perfect example of female leadership in politics. One of the problems we can find in companies and workplaces is a gender pay gap and a gender-opportunity gap.

One of the most promising solutions to this problem is the initiative to empower females to gain leadership positions.

Enfin, female leadership matters. Female’s participation in politics helps advance gender equality and increases the range of policymaking that emphasizes quality of life and reflects the priorities of other women. An authentic female leader can achieve much more with her leadership skills in every field including politics than one could imagine.

Computers, Video-Games And Their Impact On Children
- Benit Shrestha - 21105, Grade ... 27 August, 2020

ENIAC, the first computer was about the size of a room. Now, over half a century later we have computers that fit in the palm of our hands. With such a massive leap in technology, people of all ages have been acquainted with using computers. As of the last decade, the trend of playing video-games has been somewhat of a culture; mostly, popular among children and teenagers. And, youngsters can benefit greatly from the appropriate use of computers and video-games.  

First and foremost, early exposure to computers and video-games can act as motivation for children to pursue a career in the computer industry. Children are enthusiastic in nature. They are curious to learn about how things work and sometimes grow to admire the same things. In regard to this, we can take examples of tech entrepreneurs like Elon Musk and Bill Gates. They have commented about being intellectually invested in computers from a young age, which in turn has helped them to lead successful careers. Likewise, being well-acquainted with computers from a young age will heavily merit people interested in that particular field. So, the use of computers for children may actually be a bigger advantage than a hindrance. 

Similarly, surprising as it may sound, people are actually establishing successful careers by playing video games. Children may play video-games for fun at first, but most are likely to develop this as a passion. And if they are able to fuel this passion into entertaining an audience as well as playing competitively against other people, they are likely to establish themselves as professional gamers, which is a very successful and lucrative line of work in today’s time. Gamers admit being introduced to games as children were the main reason for pursuing such a risky yet decorated career. Likewise, as per a survey, people who play video-games have a heightened sense of hand-eye coordination. This special talent is useful for jobs like surgeons, artists and so on. Hence, video-games are not totally harmful to children. 

However, video-games do have a bad side to them. Once, children get hooked to playing video games, they abandon all responsibilities and develop a severe case of addiction. Likewise, playing video-games excessively will lead to a series of health issues. Staring at a computer screen all day will cause children to be victims of myopia, hypermetropia, and other eye ailments. In addition to this, children who play violent video-games are likely to show impulsive behavior as adults. Video-game addiction makes children prone to being social outcasts that can’t find a way to adjust to society. So, computers and video-games do possess a threat to the cognitive development of children.

Finally, with modernization and automation in, not all but most, sectors of work the fluency in using computers is quite essential. In regard to this, children familiar with computers can be self-reliant and useful individuals who are able to help themselves as well as others. Computer skills are sure to come handy in any occupation. Being able to effectively work your way around computers can prove productive, time-saving, and convenient for any sort of job. Not just this, there are people employed for maintaining computer systems as well. Likewise, youngsters can best utilize such a skill to solve academic work as well as gain additional knowledge of respective topics or subjects. Therefore, computers being made available to children can be beneficial for self-convenience

To sum it up, under a filtered point of view children using computers and playing video-games is advantageous in context to pursuing a valid career of one’s choice as well as helping oneself with technical problems. In the long run, exposure to computers at an early age is likely to be useful for most individuals.
