• Scientists just made light-speed visible!

    And the images are something out of science fiction.For the first time, scientists have visually captured what an object would look like moving at the speed of light—turning a 100-year-old theory into stunning, real-world images.

    In a groundbreaking study, researchers at the Vienna Center for Quantum Science and Technology recreated the Terrell-Penrose effect, a phenomenon of special relativity that predicts how objects appear distorted—not compressed, but rotated—when moving at lightspeed.

    Using ultra-fast lasers and a high-speed photography setup, the team mimicked the visual experience by slicing and stitching light reflections into a composite, effectively slowing down the speed of light to just 2 meters per second.

    This slicing technique—akin to a hyper-precise panoramic photo—allowed scientists to simulate how light from different parts of a fast-moving object reaches a camera at different times. The result: images of cubes appearing twisted and spheres whose poles shift positions. This experiment not only visualizes a concept once confined to equations and thought experiments but also opens new pathways for exploring the effects of relativity in a lab setting. It’s a vivid reminder that even light, when slowed and reassembled, can reshape our perception of the universe.

  • International Kaulantak Siddha Vidya Peeth (IKSVP) conducted the two days basic course on the Kula Devi of the Himalayan Siddhas, Goddess Nitya Kurukulla from May 30th to 31st, 2024 in Goddess Kurukulla Temple premise.
    Day one of the course began with the Yoga session with two Yogacharyas at 6:00AM. We are happy to share the images of the first session. We will share glimpses of the intense sessions of the 'Nitya Kurukulla' basic two days' course in the upcoming days.
    Please share your experience of the Yoga session in your comments below.
    Om Shri Kulant Peethaay Namah.
    Om Shri Gurumandalaay Namah.
    Om Sam Siddhaay Namah.
    Om Shri Swacchanda Bhairavaay Namah.
    Om Shri Kulle Kurukulle Namah.
    Namo Adesh!

  • A world first. New footage from Mars rendered in stunning 4K resolution. We also talk about the cameras on board the Martian rovers and how we made the video. The cameras on board the rovers were the height of technology when the respective missions launched.
    A question often asked is:
    ‘Why don’t we actually have live video from Mars?’
    Although the cameras are high quality, the rate at which the rovers can send data back to earth is the biggest challenge. Curiosity can only send data directly back to earth at 32 kilo-bits per second.
    Instead, when the rover can connect to the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter, we get more favourable speeds of 2 Megabytes per second.
    As you would expect, sending HD video at these speeds would take a long long time. As nothing really moves on Mars, it makes more sense to take and send back images.
