  • Pakistan Nukes Safe? NO.

    Before going into the story,see the cartoon in Pak.Tea House, a site  which is reasonably fair its assessment of events and its views.

    The control, Pakistan says, rests with the President ,the PM  and Cabinet Ministers.

    The President is a man who was not even aware of Indian Fighters intruding into Pakistan air space.

    He is still not able to speak openly about who killed his wife Benazir Bhutto, though he knows who it is.

    Gilani is one who does not know where to look for what.He is there for sound bytes.

    Rehman Malik,Minister of Interior is busy running a private intelleigence agency in London.

    (LONDON: Interior Minister Rehman Malik owns a private intelligence company in London, a British newspaper claimed in a report on Sunday.

    According to the report, Mr Malik submitted overdue annual returns and accounts to the Companies House in respect of the spy agency `Shaffaf Limited`. He has submitted the company`s accounts No. 03908422, and annual returns until 15/02/2012, the accounts made up to 31/05/2010.

    Most of the other Ministers are from one extremist group or another.

    Curious,isn’t it, that ISI does not figure in the national Command Authority?

    These clowns did not even know that Osama bin  Laden was next door neighbor of an army camp.

    If they knew and are bluffing, they will definitely bluff even if Nukes are already with terrorists.

    Logic says the Nukes are not safe.

    Heart wishes it were

    Pakistan has the fastest growing nuclear arsenal in the world and in a decade could pass France as the fourth-largest nuclear power, so such brazen attacks on secure military establishments — militants also attacked the General Headquarters in Rawalpindi in 2009 — give Western leaders nightmares about militants acquiring nuclear materials, or worse, an entire weapon….

    President Barack Obama said in 2009 he was confident about the security of Pakistan’s nuclear arsenal although he was “gravely concerned” about the overall situation in Pakistan because of its weak government.

    Despite that, there is a growing concern among U.S. officials that militants might try to snatch a nuclear weapon in transit or insert sympathizers into laboratories or fuel-production facilities.

    Pakistani analysts see the mixed signals from the United States as adding to pressure on the government, which the United States wants to see getting to grips with the militant threat…

    PAKISTAN’S POSITION?

    Pakistan rejects such fears over its nuclear weapons as “misplaced and unfounded” saying it has very robust, multilayered command and control systems.

    Many Pakistanis believe the ultimate U.S. aim is to confiscate Pakistan’s nuclear weapons and analysts say reports of U.S. fears about nuclear security fuel such conspiracy theories….

    WHO CONTROLS THE WEAPONS?

    Pakistan does not release details of its nuclear arsenal. Estimates vary on the size of Pakistan’s nuclear arsenal, although analysts suggest Pakistan has between 60 and 120.

    The weapons are under control of the military’s Strategic Plans Division (SPD). During a period of political instability last year the division boosted security at nuclear facilities and launched a public relations offensive to counter what Pakistan regards as scaremongering over nuclear weapon security.

    Pakistan maintains there is no chance of Islamist militants getting their hands on atomic weapons.

    The SPD is overseen by the National Command Authority headed by the president and with the prime minister as its vice chairman. Main cabinet ministers and the heads of the army, navy and air force are also members of the NCA, which controls all aspects of the nuclear programme, including deployment and, if ever necessary, their use….

    The weapons, designed to be delivered by missiles or fighter-bombers, are stored at secure, secret locations, mostly in Punjab province, analysts say, well away from Taliban heartlands in the northwest, although there have been increasing instances of militant attacks and infiltration into the province.

    Other nuclear facilities, including the main Kahuta nuclear weapons laboratory, are near the relatively secure capital, Islamabad…

    Pakistan has 10,000 soldiers guarding its facilities and the SPD has its own independent intelligence section. Staff working in nuclear facilities go through an exhaustive vetting process, involving political, moral and financial checks and psychological testing for 10,000 staff working in nuclear facilities, and security monitors keep close tabs on 2,000 scientists working in ultra-sensitive areas…

    Pakistan’s controls are such that orders to abort a mission involving a nuclear weapon could be given at the last second. Even if a rogue pilot were to fire a missile he would not have the code to arm the warhead, according to the SPD.

    Analysts say Pakistan is believed to have developed its own Permissive Action Link system, modeled on one used in the United States, to electronically lock nuclear weapons. It also relies on a range of other measures including physical security, separation of warheads from missiles and warheads from explosive devices….

  • We Stole Nuclear Technology-A.Q.Khan,Pakistan.

    The SVG version of http://en.wikipedia.org/wik...
    Image via Wikipedia

     

    A nice drama was enacted when the world accused Pakistan of going Nuclear on the sly.

    Instances were quoted where Pakistani Scientists working in Geneva stole information from there and in some case were arrested.

    Pakistan was ,as usual , in the denial mode.

    Unable to withstand the pressure, A.Q.Khan was placed under the so-called ‘house arrest’

    Initially Khan had also denied about the Nuclear capability of Pakistan.

    Now look at his statement.

    He admits that they have attained nuclear status ‘within a record time’

    Within the time frame he mentions it is not possible to  achieve the feat without stealing technology.

    Note that he had come to Pakistan with’ rich experience’-read stolen technology.

    After 15 years in Europe with invaluable experience in enrichment technology, I came to Pakistan in December 1975 and was given the task of producing nuclear weapons by then–prime minister Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto. On Dec. 10, 1984, I informed Gen. Zia-ul-Haq that we could explode a device at a week’s notice, whenever he so desired. We achieved credible nuclear capacity by the second half of the ’80s, and the delivery system was perfected in the early ’90s. For a country that couldn’t produce bicycle chains to have become a nuclear and missile power within a short span—and in the teeth of Western opposition—was quite a feat…..

    Don’t overlook the fact that no nuclear-capable country has been subjected to aggression or occupied, or had its borders redrawn. Had Iraq and Libya been nuclear powers, they wouldn’t have been destroyed in the way we have seen recently. If we had had nuclear capability before 1971, we would not have lost half of our country—present-day Bangladesh—after disgraceful defeat.

    There is a total misconception about the money spent on our nuclear program. When we started, our budget was just $10 million per year, increasing to $20 million per year when at full capacity, including all salaries, transport, medical care, housing, utilities, and purchases of technical equipment and materials. This is but half the cost of a modern fighter aircraft. The propaganda about spending exorbitant sums on the nuclear program circulated by ignorant, often foreign-paid, Pakistanis has no substance….

  • We, Aliens from Mars? Additional Proof, Hinduism.

    It’s possible that the family tree of all life on Earth has its roots on Mars — and a new device could put that theory to the test in a few years, researchers say.

    Researchers are developing an instrument that would search through samples of Martian dirt, isolating any genetic material from microbes that might be present — bugs that are living or that died relatively recently, within the last million years or so. Scientists could then use standard biochemical techniques to analyze any resulting genetic sequences, comparing them to what we find on Earth.

    It’s a long shot,” said MIT researcher Chris Carr, who’s working on the life-detecting device, in a statement. “But if we go to Mars and find life that’s related to us, we could have originated on Mars. Or if it started here, it could have been transferred to Mars.” [5 Bold Claims of Alien Life]

    Either way, Carr added, “we could be related to life on Mars. So we should at least be looking for life on Mars that’s related to us.”

    Ancient Martian life?

    The idea that all Earth life could be descended from Martian organisms may not be fully mainstream — but it’s not too crazy to dismiss, either. While the Martian surface appears to be cold, dry and lifeless today, there is plenty of evidence that the planet was much warmer and wetter in the distant past, billions of years ago.

    Here on Earth, life almost invariably occupies any niche that contains liquid water. So ancient Mars may have once supported some form of life — perhaps even before Earth did, researchers said.

    http://www.space.com/11209-mars-earth-life-origins-evolution.html

    Erich von Daniken had theorized that we are descended from The Stars.

    He quotes extensively from mythologies,legends and Monuments that remain unexplained fully.

    His postulates that Stonehenge, other marks in Polynesia and Crop circles are markers for Aliens to identify and land.

    He refers to the Pushpaka Vimana of Ravana in The Ramayana as  one of the types of Alien Crafts used to land  in Earth.

    He also states that our Genetic codes were altered and we are evolving in the way we have been programmed.

    I would also state that the First Test Tube Baby  was Mandatha as enunciated in The Vishnu Purana, where by mistake the King drinks the pot of Water powered by mantras instead of his wife;he begets a child;as he could not breast feed the child Indra, Chief of Devas,(Beings on a higher plane than Human Beings)  feeds the Child,The Nectar  with fingers.

    Description Brahmastra.

    ..it was a single projectile
    Charged with all the power of the Universe.
    An incandescent column of smoke and flame
    As bright as the thousand suns
    Rose in all its splendor…

    …it was an unknown weapon,
    An iron thunderbolt,
    A gigantic messenger of death,
    Which reduced to ashes
    The entire race of the
    Vrishnis and the Andhakas.

    ..The corpses were so burned
    As to be unrecognizable.
    The hair and nails fell out;
    Pottery broke without apparent cause,
    And the birds turned white…

    …After a few hours
    All foodstuffs were infected…
    …to escape from this fire
    The soldiers threw themselves in streams
    To wash themselves and their equipment..”

    Hiroshima Nagasaki Atomic Bombing.

    Nagasaki before and after bombing.

    Description of the effects of Atomic Bombing.

    The damage to man-made structures caused by the bombs was due to two distinct causes: first the blast, or pressure wave, emanating from the center of the explosion, and, second, the fires which were caused either by the heat of the explosion itself or by the collapse of buildings containing stoves, electrical fixtures, or any other equipment which might produce what is known as a secondary fire, and subsequent spread of these fires.

    The blast produced by the atomic bomb has already been stated to be approximately equivalent to that of 20,000 tons of T.N.T. Given this figure, one may calculate the expected peak pressures in the air, at various distances from the center of the explosion, which occurred following detonation of the bomb. The peak pressures which were calculated before the bombs were dropped agreed very closely with those which were actually experienced in the cities during the attack as computed by Allied experts in a number of ingenious ways after the occupation of Japan.

    The blast of pressure from the atomic bombs differed from that of ordinary high explosive bombs in three main ways:

    A. Downward thrust. Because the explosions were well up in the air, much of the damage resulted from a downward pressure. This pressure of course most largely effected flat roofs. Some telegraph and other poles immediately below the explosion remained upright while those at greater distances from the center of damage, being more largely exposed to a horizontal thrust from the blast pressure waves, were overturned or tilted. Trees underneath the explosion remained upright but had their branches broken downward.

    B. Mass distortion of buildings. An ordinary bomb can damage only a part of a large building, which may then collapse further under the action of gravity. But the blast wave from an atomic bomb is so large that it can engulf whole buildings, no matter how great their size, pushing them over as though a giant hand had given them a shove.

    C. Long duration of the positive pressure pulse and consequent small effect of the negative pressure, or suction, phase. In any explosion, the positive pressure exerted by the blast lasts for a definite period of time (usually a small fraction of a second) and is then followed by a somewhat longer period of negative pressure, or suction. The negative pressure is always much weaker than the positive, but in ordinary explosions the short duration of the positive pulse results in many structures not having time to fail in that phase, while they are able to fail under the more extended, though weaker, negative pressure. But the duration of the positive pulse is approximately proportional to the 1/3 power of the size of the explosive charge. Thus, if the relation held true throughout the range in question, a 10-ton T.N.T. explosion would have a positive pulse only about 1/14th as long as that of a 20,000-ton explosion. Consequently, the atomic explosions had positive pulses so much longer then those of ordinary explosives that nearly all failures probably occurred during this phase, and very little damage could be attributed to the suction which followed.

    Chariots of the Gods -The Series is based on the books of Erich von Däniken who more than twenty years ago first presented his theory of extraterrestrial contact with the ancient world – a theory so incredible yet so logical that it has become part of a wide ranging debate that continues stronger today.

    His examination of ancient ruins, forgotten texts, and other archeological anomalies points to evidence of extraterrestrial intervention in human history. Most incredible of all are von Däniken’s claims that we ourselves are descendants of these galactic pioneers and that the evidence is out there to lead us to them. Chariots of the Gods follows the adventures of the team who will attempt to do just that.

    Many planetary scientists say it’s conceivable that all life on Earth is descended from organisms that originated on Mars and were carried here aboard meteorites. And if that’s the case, an instrument being developed by researchers at MIT and Harvard could provide the clinching evidence. In

    order to detect signs of past or present life on Mars – if it is in fact true that we’re related – then a promising strategy would be to search for DNA or RNA, and specifically for particular sequences of these molecules that are nearly universal in all forms of terrestrial life.

    That’s the strategy being pursued by MIT research scientist Christopher Carr and postdoctoral associate Clarissa Lui, working with Maria Zuber, head of MIT’s Department of Earth, Atmospheric and Planetary Sciences (EAPS), and Gary Ruvkun, a molecular biologist at the Massachusetts General Hospital and Harvard University, who came up with the instrument concept and put together the initial team.

    Lui presented a summary of their proposed instrument, called the Search for Extra-Terrestrial Genomes (SETG), at the IEEE Aerospace Conference this month in Big Sky, Montana.

    The idea is based on several facts that have now been well established. First, in the early days of the solar system, the climates on Mars and the Earth were much more similar than they are now, so life that took hold on one planet could presumably have survived on the other.

    Second, an estimated one billion tons of rock have traveled from Mars to Earth, blasted loose by asteroid impacts and then traveling through interplanetary space before striking Earth’s surface.

    Third, microbes have been shown to be capable of surviving the initial shock of such an impact, and there is some evidence they could also survive the thousands of years of transit through space before arriving at another planet.

    So the various steps needed for life to have started on one planet and spread to another are all plausible. Additionally, orbital dynamics show that it’s about 100 times easier for rocks to travel from Mars to Earth than the other way. So if life got started there first, microbes could have been carried here and we might all be its descendants.

    If we are descendants from Mars, there might be important lessons to be learned about our own biological origins by studying biochemistry on our neighbor planet, where biological traces erased long ago here on Earth might have been preserved in the Martian deep freeze.
