Tinier than the atom

Deadlier than the atom bomb

Mask for the Omnipotent

More baffling than the Corona disaster is the precaution taken by many temples in our country to protect the Gods inside. In the Kasi Vishwanath temple in Varanasi, the shivaling was covered with a mask to prevent infection to the Omnipotent. At the Siddhivinayak temple in Mumbai all the priests rendered services wearing masks to escape from COVID-19 (Corona Virus Disease-2019, as it was majestically called). Entry had been denied at several temples to the common public. “Stay away!” said Sabarimala. “Run away!” shrieked Tirumala. Disinfectants were being sprayed to curb the invasion of germs.

In those who take supper before 9 p.m. the...

Believing in Science Is Not Understanding the Science

Brazilian Surveys Carlos Orsi and Natalia Pasternak Founders and Directors Question of Science Institute (InstitutoQuestao de Ciensia – IQC), Brazil More Brazilians believe in the importance of vaccines than in the validity of so-called alternative therapies, and almost 90 per cent of the adult population accepts – at least in part – the fact that climate change is real and caused by human activity. Nevertheless, almost half of Brazilian adults reject one of the fundamental principles of the theory of evolution: humans and other primates descend from a common ancestor. Moreover, almost 40 per cent of the country’s adult population believes the government hides information about beings from other planets. These are some of the results of a national survey on public understanding of science conducted by the Datafolha Institute, a respected polling organization, on behalf of Instituto Questao de Ciencia (IQC, Question of Science Institute), where we are both founders and directors.
