The Explorers

The Hindi language - offshoot of the Devanagari script - has for long been sidelined in India with primary importance being given to the English Language. This decision, had not been taken by our founding fathers, nor by any of our Presidents or Prime Ministers, but by a British historian - Thomas Macaulay  - in the past days of 1835. The point he proposed was that Indian languages had "neither literary nor scientific information" and were "so poor and rude that, until they are ( were ) enriched from some other quarter, it will not be easy to translate any valuable work into them." Since I know neither Sanskrit nor Arabic (the two options he rejected), I am not a person who can comment upon the validity of his statement, but having a mother-tongue knowledge of Hindi, I feel that if the Indian education system reverts to making Hindi as the primary language and English as secondary, I feel the Indians will be done greater good and will produce more advanced works o...

So, you want to make a robot? No doubt that it is one of the fantasies of every child. But, they think that it's tough and they will do such thing when they grow up( I mean go to college or so). Actually, it's very easy.  Anyone, who has a basic understanding of English and maths(grade 5 maths), can easily make a robot of his or her imagination. The most beautiful part of making a robot is that it opens doors to a completely new world, which is full of mind-blowing stuff. It does change your life. Watch this amazing video that list the things, which is centered around a simple device, made by different people. The simple device is called Arduino. If you don't understand most of the things, then you are on right path. By the way, you are going to be a superstar after you understand all this stuff. The Arduino could be an automatic plant-watering control system.It can be a web server. It could even be a quadcopter autopilot. It could be a remote control car. It could ...

    You may have read about the famous Pavlov's Experiment on conditioned reflexes ( Read about Pavlov's Experiment ). In it, Pavlov, by conditioning and practicing, induced a response in a dog on the sound of an ordinary bell and the dog began to salivate. Now an interesting question arises - what shall happen if the amplitude or the pitch of the bell is changed; which means a new and different quality bell is used in the same experiment. Will the dog still salivate? Will the differences in responses to stimuli to stimulus occur here.     The dog's brain is stimulated to the sound of that very bell. The brain is pretty good in distinguishing between different sounds of varying amplitude or pitch. So if the brain is trained artificially to induce a particular response to a stimulus, then it must not induce the same response if the stimulus is changed and there must be differences in responses to stimuli. Take for example a class in a school, the class rises t...

For this mail to us your writing or paper and your G + / Facebook profile links at jointheexplorers@gmail.com  . If it falls within the spirit of the purpose of the group, we will publish it at our blog under your name and effort.  You may also mail to us for queries, suggestions or for requests to join the group.   You can also follow us for latest updates at  The Explorers Happy learning, The Explorers Team.

   Have you ever been frustrated by the thought that you have no friends who share a common interest as you ? Have you ever felt a desire to find more people with whom you may collaborate and learn new things ? Do you feel a bit sidelined when your colleagues at your school, workplace or elsewhere have no interest in what new thing you have created or discovered ?     If your answer to these is in 'yes', you have found a perfect place to learn, to expand your knowledge and engage yourselves in some cool stuff. In this world where people have almost reduced learning to be a formality for little kids at school, we believe that the process of learning never stops. It has been rightly said, "Tell me and I shall forget, show me and I may remember, but involve me and I shall learn."       We are The Explorers. The purpose of this group is to 'learn in collaboration with one another.' We take keen interest on any subject of the world. We perceive, s...
