I was on a bike, my friend was driving it and he said that in November the Sun won’t be shining for 15 days, and this was confirmed by NASA said he. I was thrown back. A person who has read well and is in a decent profession, a profession where sanity of mind is very important and he said this.

Another friend of mine some day said that in next two weeks there will be so much rain in Tamilnadu that it will become like Kerala. Well, there is rain now in Chennai as I type and the power is cut and I can’t work without the internet and I had to write this blog to pass my time. But its certainly not like that one in Kerala. But in Tamilnadu, infra is so weak that even a drizzle can put the state and its capital Chennai into tail spin. The government we have simply doesn’t know what to do. We don’t even implement rain proof infrastructure, if we do, then rains will have no effect and disaster measure wouldn’t be needed and hence corrupt P.W.D contractors won’t be able to loot our tax money.

What baffles me is this misinformation, how it spreads and how people believe it and tell to others, like it was the truth even without verifying the facts. I asked my friend on bike “how do you think we will survive for 15 days without the sun?”, “we can use electrical lights” said he. So so dumb. Its not just light that sun gives us, its the heat. The sun puts out so much heat that almost all water on earth is liquid. Switch it off for two days and almost all seas will go to near freezing or would have been frozen. Water inside our cells would freeze and we will all die a gory death. And how would you reckon that a nuclear reactor so big as the sun could be shut down for 15 days and then be restarted?

I wonder whats happening to people? They said world will end in C.E 2000, then in C.E 2012 and now this. You can say things, but it must be backed by sane thought and proofs.
