escape velocity

u blokes must have heard about... or read about the escape velocity of a body .....

if u haven't.......... here is a brief intro....

it is the velocity with which a body is to be projected such that the body escapes out of the gravitational field of the earth...( i think this is how i remember it... if there is any mistake pls bear wid me... banda physics mein weak hein)...

i have been reading this book by mr. mani bhaumik... called the "CODE NAME GOD"... which talks about the spiritual journey of a scientist.

he says that every man/woman has a black hole... or a kind of magnetic field which drags u back to the abyss. ... and prevents u from doing something.....even light cant escape from it...

but he then says that ...perseverance....and luck..... do propell u wid that "escape velocity" that helps u get out of that black hole...

the author makes great sense of the mass-energy equivalence stated by Einstein ( or the famous e=m*c*c)....

for every other scientist it's an equation wid great importance in the preparation of a nuclear bomb..or blah blah....

but for him... it turns out be this way...

" religion without science is blind.....and science without religion is lame..."

for me the book really did mean nothing untill i reached the second half of the book... but now i am extracting some sense out of it...


ok ...ok.. enuf of that book... coming bac to the escape velocity....

i can correlate myself... to it... atleast now... may be wgl is like a black hole...and i am dragged back to it... even after graduating...five months back....

hope i get that luck ... that gives that escape velocity to spew me out of this black hole....
