Science, Reason, and Robots
by Philip Yaffe
It is often said that what distinguishes true science fiction from space horse operas is its ability to examine fundamental questions of ethics, philosophy, and sociology in situations so remote from contemporary life that they can be considered with greater acuity and less emotion. I was recently reminded of this when I inadvertently reread a short story by Isaac Asimov.
Anyone who knows anything about science fiction, and indeed science itself, is almost certainly familiar with this name. Author or editor of more than 500 books, Asimov (1920 – 1992) was a professor of biochemistry at Boston University. He is universally recognized as one of the founding fathers of modern science fiction. He was also the nonpareil author of bestselling works on popular science, mathematics, religion, Shakespeare, and a wide variety of other topics.
The name of the short story is simply “Reason.” It recounts the intellectual confrontation between two astronauts manning a space station to channel solar energy back to an overcrowded Earth and one of their robot workers. They had assembled the robot from components sent from Earth about a week earlier.
This is an advanced robot compared to the others working on the

The reason for the invention of The Aryan Invasion Theory
In the schools all over India, in the sixth grade when Indus Valley Civilization is taught in the history class, we come across the elaborate story of how a nomadic tribe The Aryans came from the north and destroyed the advanced civilization that was the Indus Civilization. The way this particular story is represented in the curriculum of our schools helps us to understand and perceive India’s historical evolution, the sources of her ancient glorious heritage, and indigenous socio-economic-political institutions, and this has been going on ever since the advent of the British colonies.

The ruins show a very advanced waste management system an important parameter of a civilization having a sense of hygiene and possessing a scientific outlook. The ruins also show a very elaborate public distribution system, another parameter of a civilization being conscious of well being. In spite of these physical truths, we come across a well spun story of a nomadic

For this one reason some companies view patent protection key for their own invention ideas and for invention ideas submitted to them. Therefore, those companies may expect inventors submitting inventions to them to seek invention patent rights issued by a patent just as any company would be required to protect their own invention ideas.There may be complex legal issues connected to invention ideas submitted to big companies.
