   2023 coming to and end, some thoughts about this and that...   
   It has been a good year for me, for at last there is no mockery from online   
   participants in the Usenet newsgroups about my rail gun experiments that show   
   inertia violation.  At this rate, I may even see the first ship to go to the   
   stars before I die. And    
   lots of ships going to the Moon on a daily basis, just for people to jump ten   
   feet up the surface!   
   Why the huge, gobal antipathy to my new work in physics, was something I could   
   not understand back in the period of 2000 - 2003, when my new formula   
   e=0.5mvvN(N-k) non-destructively linking matter and energy, as an alternative   
   to the e=mcc of Einstein,    
   was published.    
   I have a better idea now, for the reason for such antipathy has nothing to do   
   with physics, but theology. My formula has it that energy is always created   
   and destroyed.  Now, it needs an infinite universe for that to work. Like, any   
   cup we drop to the    
   ground becomes creates heat energy as it breaks up; that heat is radiated out   
   into the universe.... the distances between stars and galaxies is so large,   
   that all energy created from everywhere becomes constant at all points of the   
   universe manifesting    
   as cosmic background radiation. The universe indeed has to be infinite for   
   that to happen, to swallow up all the energies to their destruction, through   
   sheer intergalactic distance.  The wonderful space telescopes (Hubble, Webb)   
   show no boundary to the    
   universe - only more and more galaxies, implying that the universe is   
   infinite.    
   However an infinite universe also implies an eternal universe, and that goes   
   directly against the creationist theology of the world's most powerful   
   religions. So, the problem I am facing is not about science, but theology.  No   
   matter how loudly the    
   established scientists proclaim their atheism or disdain for religion, they   
   know very well that they are funded by the religious people!  Who wants to   
   risk careers, risk fames and moneys?!   
   It would appear that in the present-day India, with a pro-Hindu government,   
   there should be some support for my new physics which boosts what is eternal   
   or SANATANA as the most fundamental aspect of the universe. Maybe, that   
   support will come one day! At    
   the present, I find the 3-monkey situation prevailing with respect to my   
   works. But who knows what may happen in 2024!    
   Which brings me to a crucial point - the secularism of India. Is this   
   secularism just anti-Hinduism in pseudo-scientific garb, or something else?   
   Whom to ask?  For me, the most revered guru is the father; so what did my   
   father have to say about    
   secularism?   
   The scene shifts to our flat in Ranchi, around 1980 or so. My father had   
   decided to join the Bharat Sevashram Sangha as a lay worker, after retirement.   
   Two monks from BS were present at our house, and they asked my father why   
   India should NOT be a Hindu    
   state.    
   My father's reply was most illuminating for me. He said that Hindus did not   
   know their religion. So there were many different interpretations and   
   opinions, Which aspect was correct?  Who would decide what was correct? And   
   how? There were so many frauds,    
   impostors, gasbags who would grab prominence and with their badness reduce,   
   corrupt and demean the most wonderful Vedic religion of our ancestors. What   
   could be worse that to find what you love and treasure reduced to nonsense,   
   and liars and thieves    
   profit from such debasement? Only when Hindus become much more mature and   
   united, kindly and successful, should the Hindus of India declare India to be   
   a Hindu state, if indeed they then think that to be necessary.    
   As I remember, the monks were astonished and impressed. My father did join the   
   BSS and worked for them and similar Hindu institutions till he died at the age   
   of 92.
