Does ghost or "energy" or "Atma" really exist? |
| Question found in Mysteries & Enigmas |
|
|
1. Ghosts are products of imagination and stories of ghosts are pure fiction 2. Energy is the ability to do work. Light, heat, electricity are forms of energy. If you mean vibrations that cannot be felt physically, yes, such energy exists. Even your thought is a form of energy - Blessings and curses produce thought energy waves that are not physical but metaphysical 3. Atma in Sanskrit is what is commonly called soul or spirit in English. Yes Atma exists. Every human being is endowed with a soul or asthma. In fact it is this soul that makes humans different from other living beings. Atma with a *capital A* can stand for Paramatma which is the Sanskrit for Supreme being - God. Yes God exists. In fact all that we percieve here as material universe is relative and not absolute. The only absolute reality is Atman - God. |

Nowadays, what is religion for? |
| Question found in Religion & Spirituality In General |
|
|
One should feel that religion is more needed these days than in the bygone days. To address the question here, we must ask what is the role of religion? Religion is the expression of the relationship of the humans to the Creator. For one who believes in God, religion is as relevant today as at any time in history. To those who do not believe in God, religion has no meaningful role either now or in the past. What makes these days so drastically different from the past is the modern amenities available today that were not there in the past. But this has nothing to do with one's beliefs or one's relationship to God. Personally I feel strongly that we are lagging far behind in our spiritual progress compared to the material progress. This unbalanced evolution is the cause of many evils of today. In a sense everyone in the world today strongly serve a god. The only question is who that god is? For most people, that god is money and their religion is capitalism. There are however quite a large percentage of people who serve the True Living God, the Creator. |

What is the Maximum & Minimum temperatures existing on our 1) earth & 2) in our universe? |
| Question found in Space & Astronomy |
|
|
I can give only a rough estimate or a good guess. 1. The earth: On the surface the temperatures in nature could vary between 100 degrees below zero and 70 degree above zero on the celsius scale. (Between 173 K and 343 K). This does not cover the temperatures artificially produced in fires or furnaces nor the temperature of the interior of the earth.) 2. The universe: The lowest temperature of the universe is a well known fact in cosmology. It is 2.75 K (270.25 degrees below zero on celsius). The highest temperature is only a guess. Even cosmologists cannot for certain say that there cannot be a temperature above this. millions of degree are common. |

Why is the rainbow curved? |
| Question found in Science In General |
|
|
Sunlight is dispersed into seven colors by a prism by refraction. In similar way raindrops in the air split sunlight into seven colors by total internal reflection. The spectrum that reaches our eyes is only from the drops of water at a particular angle in front of you. All those drops at that particular angle between the position of the sun behind you and rain drops in front of you make the base of a hollow cone whose vertex is your eye. And we know the base of such a cone is a circle. This is why the rainbow is curved. |
