theory of black hole by an 19 year genius....
Bangalore: Hailing from a small village in Kerala, 19 year old CV Midhun's observation that the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) experiment would not cause any harm went unnoticed six months back, because of the apathy of authorities at a premier educational institution, reports PK Surendran of DNA.
LHC experiment, which many people speculated would end the world when it was first turned on in 2008, was working fine when it was restarted couple of days back. Midhun, a first-year BSc Physics student from Majlis Arts and Science College in Valancherry, Kerala, measured the energy generated by the cosmic rays emanating from particle collision and comparing it with that of the cosmic rays from the sun.
Midhun's theory was based on the fact that the energy of the sun's cosmic rays is much more than that of cosmic rays emanated from particle collision in the LHC used to simulate the Big Bang. His observations not only won him the appreciation of CERN scientists but also an online access to the path-breaking experiment. Midhun is the son of a temple priest in Naduvattom, Kerala doesn't even have a computer but that did not stop him from sending his observations that the LHC was safe to professor M Vijayan of IISc's molecular biophysics unit.
Vijayan admitted receiving Midhun's observations and forwarding it to IISc's centre for high energy physics. But after some days, when Midhun enquired about the status of his observations, he was told "We are still verifying it." B Ananathanarayanan, the Chairman of High Energy Physics Department, said he had no clue about Midhun's observation.
"When nothing happened after two months, I mailed my observations directly to the scientists at European Organisation for Nuclear Research (CERN)," Midhun said. "I got a reply from nuclear physicist Abdul Gurdu." What the CERN scientists were impressed about - and which missed the eye of IISc scientists - is Midhun's claim, based on a theory he worked out, that there would be no black holes created when protons collide and that there would be no threat to the world as feared by many..........

"STUDY STUDY THAN ANXIETY.......HOW TO DEAL............................"
After calculating their existing grade, some students actually find out that they are doing better than they thought they would. Some find a concrete goal in terms of a grade to shoot for on the exam and this helps them focus and begin study with better concentration. Remember that exams measure what you can demonstrate about your learning thus far in a course of study, not your worth as a person.
- Know that you know what you know. Much of exam anxiety comes from a fear of poor performance. If you can test yourself adequately prior to an exam and go in with the knowledge that you do know your stuff, you might find your anxiety diminished.
- Some anxiety is normal in an exam situation. In fact, some would say that to a degree, anxiety is facilitative of sharp concentration and alertness. When anxiety begins to impede your ability to perform to your ability, then it may be time to seek further help with it. If you find your anxiety to be extreme and accompanied by headaches, nausea, feelings of despair, shaking and trembling, or blanking out, then it might be worth looking into services for reducing stress and anxiety at your campus Counselling Centre. The relaxation strategies and exercises provided take time to develop and will probably be most productive for exams a few months down the road, given a few months of diligent practice.
- Symptoms of stress or anxiety can be worsened by drastic changes in sleep and eating routines, but they can be diminished with some physical activity like walking, swimming, or skating.
- Breaking the study into smaller, one hour, or half hour, time units and inserting a break in between the sessions of study can be helpful in maintaining productive activity and providing a much needed rest or time-out. The few minutes break offers you a chance to stretch, it allows you to focus and concentrate on a reasonably sized package of information, and allows for some sense of progress on a regular basis.
- If you're very short of time, you might try focusing the bulk of your time on areas that need work rather than on those which you already know and can remember well. This way you can cover more of the course material. Though some people experience a little anxiety from working through the hard stuff, many feel that this strategy offers a chance for greater effectiveness and course material coverage.
- Beware the frantic student! It is hard sometimes to establish a controlled outlook for an exam, but it is easy to lose this outlook when you come into contact with somebody who is very highly anxious. The natural habitat of this kind of highly stressed individual is the main entrance to the exam room, just before an exam begins, trying to learn those last bits of information before the exam. If this is you or if this scenario seems familiar to you, then you might want to be aware that this may raise your anxiety at the worst possible time. Beware of picking up on the concerns and stress of other students. Probably we pick up more stray anxiety than we need to. If you review minutes before the exam and this helps you, then you might want to do so just out of range of the exam room.
- Try to eliminate negative self statements such as "I'm going to fail this exam for sure because I'm such a big dummy." Whether negative statements are accurate or not, they work to convince us that they are accurate and this has an impact on our behaviours and self concept. This negative thinking may limit our ability to perform to standard on an exam. Replacing negative statements with genuine positive statements like "I'm studying hard and I did passably well during the term, I should do similarly well on this exam." may help curb anxiety and bolster your sense of confidence.
- Try to focus on the task at hand. That is, focus on the activities of studying for and responding to questions on the exam rather than on potential negative consequences. Catastrophizing - ie., focusing on grim forecasts of future jobs, lifestyle and so on, are more likely to raise anxiety than to help you control it.
