Measuring Corporate Social Responsibility





Vacuum is a space empty of matter, but cannot be explained without matter surrounding it. Antimatter is explained as antiparticle within matter and outside of it cannot be even thought about. Non-existence is relative to existence. All of them are in the same plane – matter. This is the law of nature. This is a concrete state where matter predominates and in a gross level of existence. ‘Existence’ is a matter connected to the tangible world of WYSIWYG. A nano-second before the big bang is impossible to imagine with the limitation set for our human mind, to describe what is nothingness beyond matter. Matter in its form of galaxies, stars and planets are said to add up to only 4% and the balance is made up of dark matter [23%] and dark energy [73%]. The Earth truly is in a state of non-existence.Continue reading “Measuring Corporate Social Responsibility”

Intangible – the Eternal Seed





Intangible is antimatter and good similarities exist between matter & antimatter in one hand, and tangible & intangible at the other. Intangible in the mundane world of business management has been used in only one instance, otherwise, not surprisingly, not touched at all. A physics textbook describes matter as “that takes up space and has mass”. Every physical object we have ever seen consists of matter. Scientists however have been continuously exploring the existence of antimatter in the known universe. The latest experiment is with a Large Hadron Collider (LHC) a 27-km long tunnel where beams of particles are fired to prove the theory that a particle when it meets its antiparticle, they annihilate each other and their entire mass is converted into pure energy. One of the LHC detectors, code named LHCb, is trying to investigate that equal amounts of matter and antimatter were created in the Big Bang and what happened to the “missing” antimatter.Continue reading “Intangible – the Eternal Seed”

Note to President Obama – what’s the way out





Note sent to President Obama can be found in the eMail forwarded to Kathleen Parker of Washington Post, responding to her article The economic crisis was a ‘inside job’ Wednesday, October 13, 2010

Dear Kathleen

I read your article with great interest. I followed it up the same at the website of Inside Job and the Facebook. My question is what’s the way out?

Today I dropped this note at the White House mail system, under the category of Economy: “President Obama during the inaugural session to US Congress said: “Here in Washington, we’ve all seen how quickly good intentions can turn into broken promises and wasteful spending. And with a plan of this scale comes enormous responsibility to get it right.” If world economy has to revive White House should attempt to control this area. How? Please visit http://www.smashwords.com/books/view/24530 and take your time to watch the 3 minutes video, that addresses the concern stated above of President Obama and tells how to take grip of the economy.”Continue reading “Note to President Obama – what’s the way out”
