Why not other seven planets of our Sun not habituated?

Dr.APJAK Sir's answer...

"When I addressed Southern Regional Science Congress at Coimbatore, Tamilnadu, one student started, he said "my teacher today told me that the Sun has got eight planets, only earth has got life and life supporting system for thousands of species. Tell me Mr Kalam, why not other seven planets of our Sun not habituated.

I asked the student, what his name and in which class studying. He said, my name is Saravanan and studying in 10+2. 

My answer to the student was; actually this has been question answered in beautiful way long-long ago by Isaac Newton himself, the discoverer of gravitational law. Newton said, "the only miracle is the earth at a unique distance, gets required warmth and light from the Sun". 

Let me answer further to your question. 

What is the environment of other planets?

I said, dear young friend, 

do you know that on Jupiter, 

three thousand times the size of the earth, 

a powerful hurricane has been raging for the past 400 years: 

on Neptune wind speeds reach up to 3200 km per hour,

that is over 10 times higher than the strongest gusts 

mustered by Katrina, USA or Tsunami winds India's experienced. 

On Mars, the dust stormed continuously engulfs part of the planet. 

On Saturn's Moon Titan it rains liquid methane and 

Venus is chocked by a thick smoggy blanket of sulfuric acid. 

Is any species, possible such an environment? 

Scientific debates going on..., 

but fortunately

none of these happen on our planet earth

and we are safe."

"Excellence in thinking and actions"

Why we learn?

Friends, 

I have often wondered 

what makes us learn ? 

Why we go to school and universities,

read books, surf net for knowledge ? 

So, why we learn ?

I have three thoughts to answer this question. 

First we learn to live. 

Second we learn to think. 

And third, we learn to learn. 

Let me elaborate.

We learn to live ?

As many times since education is for making a person 

as a good human being and enlightened citizen, 

then livelihood and ultimately for career growth. 

Whether you become an officer, a teacher, 

businessmen or businesswomen, a soldier, 

an engineer or doctor or scientists, 

or any profession you cherish to become, 

the fundamental need is 

education, education and right type of education.

We learn to think ?

When we use our knowledge 

which will give us new thoughts. 

For instance, 

Scientists learn science to give them 

the ability to think differently and 

evolve new concepts.

The great examples of learn to think 

in our country Sir CV Raman and 

in USA - Albert Einstein.

Finally, We learn to learn. 

This is where passion 

is fueled by knowledge.

It is when, 

an individual immerses

himself or herself in all possible means 

to gain knowledge and 

reflect on it energized by the zeal of 

knowing everything about a particular field. 

Such a person is undeterred by 

fears of failure and rejection. 

For instance, Ramanujam, the great mathematician 

continued his learning of mathematics with full passion and 

he was not even affected by the fact that 

he did not do so well in all other subjects. 

Einstein was immersed in his relativity theory and 

mass-energy equation as he was learning to learn? and 

no worldly criticism and ridicule 

could make him change his path. 

Hence, every one of the students should 

imbibe the thought that 

"learn to live ? 

learn to think ? and 

learn to learn".

An Amazing Poem By Ulaga Nayagan

Thamaya oh thamaya,

yen thagappanin sayal nee,

achagamthan ondru inge,

arthanggal vevveru..

Thamakkai oh thamakkai,

thozhi tholainthe ponaye,

thunaithedi ponaye..

Manavi oh kathali,

Nee thaanda padiyellam 

Naanthanda kumainthiduvai,

Saathirathil sutchamanggal puriyumvarai.

Magane oh magane,

en vinthitte vithaye, 

sediye, marame, kaade, 

marupirappe maranasoukaryame,

vaazh...

Magale yen magale,

yennai pirinthum

kathalithe kanavanukkul 

ennai theduvaya...

Nanba oh nanba,

nee seitha natpellam,

nan seitha anbin palan,

ivvidamum avvithame...

Pagaiva oh pagaiva,

un aadaiyenum aganthaiyudan 

yen amanatthai keli seivai,

Nee udithinirkum aadaigale

Mathemendrum kulamendrum

English Translation:

Brother oh my brother,

you look like our father.

We are from same root,

but our life 

gives us different meanings.

Sister oh my sister, my friend.

You walked away from me 

searching your love…

simple means that girls 

will separate from her own family

once she get married.

Wife oh my lover,

you guide me,

motivate me,

help me and

be a backbone for me

to achieve goals in life

which even you 

don’t do it for yourself.

Son oh my son,

you are my soul, life.

May you have blessed life.

Daughter oh my daughter,

will you be happy 

after marriage

or will you search me 

in your loving husband?

Friend oh my friend,

your frienship is the results of my love

Enemy oh my enemy,

you laughing at me 

because im naked [being human].

Your dress just covering your nudity.

Your religion and caste dresses 

will gone one day,

the nudity [humanism] 

only will last forever

Reader oh my reader [all humans],

read everything and 

understand everything.

Smile if you understand,

question if you not, and

correct it if you feel it’s wrong

My poem is yours,

I will be live long in your poems
