The Great Annamayya
It is said that you make friends for lifetime during your college days...TRUE. There was something that brought us together 5 years back and that something was so perfect that we became a FAMILY, sharing the best and the worst, sharing common passions, breeding success to one another, still having the same energy and enthusiasm, caring and concern for each in the group.

When Albert Einstein formulated General Relativity in 1915, he was not aware the Universe was expanding. Large scale structure in the form of galaxies was not known and all fuzzy luminous nebulae were considered basically similar and within stellar distance scales. Only with Hubble work in 1930 came the realization some of those nebulae were in fact island universes, and that they were not only very far, but also receding from us at enormous speeds. This was not known for Einstein, and since gravitation exerts its influence up to infinity, it was natural for him to postulate some force working in the preservation of an apparent equilibrium among matter, preventing universal collapse. This is why he postulated the Cosmological Constant, symbolized by the Greek letter Lambda, and included a term accounting for it in the field equations. Once universal expansion was discovered, the need for an unknown repulsive agent could be dropped and Einstein dismissed the Cosmological Constant as his "biggest blunder". |
At the end of the Cretaceous Period, 65 million years ago, all the dinosaurs died out. The question of why the dinosaurs went extinct is one of the most frequently asked questions to all dinosaur palaeontologists. There have been many different ideas put forward as an explanation from the serious to the ridiculous. Probably the two most likely are: the regression and habitat loss hypothesis (gradualistic) or, the extraterrestrial impact hypothesis (catastrophic). |
When dinosaurs first appeared about 230 million years ago the world was very different to as we know it. There were very few representatives of any animal groups alive today - no mammals, birds or lizards (although there were some lizard like reptiles). |
