Reference and existence of giant snakes in Mahabharata
https://m.youtube.com/watch?feature=youtu.be&v=DGPsurIkLKA
Just a thought.
Could Titanoboa or Sachamama snake be the Aghasura mentioned in Bhagavad Gita?
Seems these giant serpants, like the one in Amazon forests called Sachamama can keep their mouths open for days,allowing vegetation to grow around them so the prey walks into it's mouth directly.
The below description fits the narration in this video to some extent.
The Bhagavata Purana states that Aghasura assumed the form of an enormous serpent. Krishna's companions, the cowherd boys, entered its mouth, mistaking it for a mountain cavern. After seeing this, Krishna then came to their rescue, killing Aghasura. (The killing of Aghasura by Lord Krishna is narrated by Sage Sukadeva to king Parikshit in Srimad Bhagavatam).
Scientists Claims:Aliens May Already Live Inside Super-Massive Black Holes
A supermassive dark opening isn't the best place to live. Notwithstanding, there are physicists who think about existence existing in such outrageous spots and likely effectively occupied by some most progressive races – super outsiders. "Insides of super gigantic dark openings might be occupied by cutting edge human advancements living on planets with the third-kind circles," Russian cosmologist Vyacheslav I. Dokuchaev at Moscow's Institute for Nuclear Research of the Russian Academy of Sciences writes in his paper distributed in Cornell University's online diary arXiv. "We could live inside a super gigantic dark gap in the long run… yet super-outsiders may have effectively outsmarted us," claims Dokuchaev. His dubious hypothesis did not depend on sci-fi yet on Einstein's speculations.

Increase In Earth's Temperature, Is This The Reason?
Averaged over all land and ocean surfaces, temperatures warmed roughly 1.53°F (0.85ºC) from 1880 to 2012, according to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change.
In the Northern Hemisphere, where most of Earth's land mass is located, the three decades from 1983 to 2012 were likely the warmest 30-year period of the last 1400 years, according to the IPCC.

While greenhouse gases are for sure to cause global warming, they alone are not the reason for increase in earth's temperature.
Just curious if the increase in earth's temperature is due of excessive mining (of all sorts) and not due to greenhouse gases.
Imagine boiling water in a container, on a stove, obviously with fire as source.
The container is only as much heated as it should be as long as it has enough water.
If you drain the water slowly and maintain the heat as it is, (which means there is not enough water / matter for the heat to get transferred to) the heat is then transferred to the container, which gets heated more compared to what it was before
Now if we compare this real world scenario to earth, the core where there is heat source is sufficient for all the matter above and below the earth to keep earth at the temp. at what it should be.
Now as we know if water is drained the container gets heated up, similarly, excessive mining is removing the matter from the earth and hence the heat is transferred to earth's outer surface from the core, and not from outside.
Hence the reason for earth's temp. to go up slightly by less than a degree in so many years,
which is also causing ice to melt and increase ocean levels.

Off-grid electricity generation using animal power....is it possible?
I have been thinking on this idea since past couple of years now, but I myself was not sure if it is workable based on the fact that I am ignorant how modern-day turbines work...
I understand there are 2 major components that are essential to generate electricity, i.e. turbine and energy to rotate it, may it be water, steam, etc..
My idea stems from a thought of offering off-grid solution to the remote villages and putting check to pestering issues of power failure.
Traditionally, buffalos, ox, etc. were used to pull water from wells as below or were used in groundnut oil production process, these animals have great energy to perform such tasks..
I m pasting a picture below to convey what i mean...
The idea is, WHAT IF THE WHEEL IS REPLACED WITH AN ELECTRICITY TURBINE.....
after all its energy that is needed to rotate the turbine, may it be in the form of water or animal...
As far as RPM of turbines is concerned, I think that can be stepped up with the present practices in mechanics...but mating the required gears to work with the animal power is a challenge...
But in order to explore this idea, I presume we need mechanical and electrical engineers inputs...
and if it is a workable idea, we can always look into stepping down and using old-generation turbines to meet the goal...
I think there will be ways to reduce load on the animals...
As far as ethics are concerned, well, animals can be employed in batches to work and income generated can take care of these animals...however, exploitation lies in human nature, so that angle needs to be looked into as well...

Will it serve as an off-grid solution for electricity generation?
Has there been any research on such an idea?
Assuming its workable with some further brainstorming and research, the benefits in terms of environment are obvious and for off-grid electricity generation are immense.

One more thought:
We all know its sun's gravitational force that makes the planets to move in orbits.
Is there no influence of the hidden force of dark matter on planetary movement?

How universe got its magnetism?

Physicists attempt to solve it
PTI | Mar 26, 2012, 03.33PM IST
For long, it has been a mystery. Now, physicists claim to have attempted to solve it by using laser to create magnetic fields similar to those involved in formation of the first galaxies.
Magnetic fields exist throughout galactic and intergalactic space, what is puzzling is how they were created originally and how they became so strong.
A team, led by Oxford University, used a high-power laser to explode a rod of carbon, similar to pencil lead, in helium gas. The explosion was designed to mimic cauldron of plasma -- an ionised gas containing free electrons and positive ions -- out of which the first galaxies formed.
The physicists found that within a microsecond of the explosion strong electron currents and magnetic fields formed around a shock wave.
They took these results and scaled them through 22 orders-of-magnitude to find that their measurements matched the "magnetic seeds" predicted by theoretical studies of galaxy formation, the 'Nature' journal reported.
"Our experiment recreates what was happening in the early Universe and shows how galactic magnetic fields might have first appeared. It opens up the exciting prospect that we will be able to explore the physics of the cosmos, stretching back billions of years, in a laser laboratory here on Earth," said Dr Gianluca Gregori, who led the team.
The results closely match theories which predict that tiny magnetic fields -- "magnetic seeds" -- precede the formation of galaxies. These fields can be amplified by turbulent motions and can strongly affect the evolution of the galactic medium from its early stages.
Dr Gregori said in a release: "In the future, we plan to use the largest lasers in the world, such as the National Ignition Facility in California, to study the evolution of cosmic plasma."

Cosmic 'umbilical cord' discovered
http://www.tgdaily.com/space-features/58759-cosmic-umbilical-cord-discovered
Posted on September 29, 2011 - 06:42 by Kate Taylor
Australian astronomers say they've found proof of a vast filament of material that connects our Milky Way galaxy to nearby clusters of galaxies and on to the rest of the universe.
The Australian National University team examined the positions of ancient groupings of stars called globular clusters, and found that they form a narrow plane around the Milky Way rather than being scattered across the sky.
And the Milky Way’s own entourage of small satellites also inhabits the same plane.
"What we have discovered is evidence for the cosmic thread that connects us to the vast expanse of the universe," says Dr Stefan Keller of the Research School of Astronomy and Astrophysics at ANU.
"The filament of star clusters and small galaxies around the Milky Way is like the umbilical cord that fed our galaxy during its youth."
Because of the Big Bang and the dominance of dark matter in the universe, he says, ordinary matter is driven, like foam on the crest of a wave, into vast interconnected sheets and filaments stretched over enormous cosmic voids – "much like the structure of a kitchen sponge."
"Unlike a sponge, however, gravity draws the material over these interconnecting filaments towards the largest lumps of matter, and our findings show that the globular clusters and satellite galaxies of the Milky Way trace this cosmic filament," he says.
Most globular clusters are the central cores of small galaxies that have been drawn along the filament by gravity. Once these small galaxies got too close to the Milky Way, the majority of stars were stripped away and added to our galaxy, leaving only their cores.
"It is thought that the Milky Way has grown to its current size by the consumption of hundreds of such smaller galaxies over cosmic time," says Keller.
