  The captivating possibilities of extraterrestrial life on exoplanets, based on current scientific knowledge of existing worlds and forms of life 
   
   
   
  It is now known that we live in a galaxy with more planets than stars. The Milky Way alone encompasses 30 trillion potential home planets. Scientists Trefil and Summers bring listeners on a marvelous experimental voyage through the possibilities of life—unlike anything we have experienced so far—that could exist on planets outside our own solar system. 
   
   
   
  Life could be out there in many forms: on frozen worlds, living in liquid oceans beneath ice and communicating (and even battling) with bubbles; on super-dense planets, where they would have evolved body types capable of dealing with extreme gravity; on tidally locked planets with one side turned eternally toward a star; and even on "rogue worlds," which have no star at all. Yet this is no fictional flight of fancy: the authors take what we know about exoplanets and life on our own world and use that data to hypothesize about how, where, and which sorts of life might develop. Imagined Life is a must-have for anyone wanting to learn how the realities of our universe may turn out to be far stranger than fiction.

  “Dr Amitav Banerjee has a knack of conveying seemingly complex public health messages in a lucid manner, understandable and appealing to experts as well as to the layperson. His writings are gripping, like a story, while at the same time educating the reader on subtle issues with apt analogies. This collection of his writings is a treatise for posterity and essential reading if we are not to repeat the mistakes of the past.” Dr Bhaskaran Raman, Professor, Indian Institute of Technology, Bombay.It is indeed refreshing to go through the well-written essays, enriched with wits and humour from an erudite and distinguished personality who enjoys a robust experience on the nuances of public health in our country. He has rightly drawn our attention to the ‘politicisation, corruption and suppression of science’ by the big pharma and tech companies, thus making us forget the golden principles of ‘evolutionary biology’. The readers will certainly realise that clarity and perception arise when the ‘third eye’ opens up, for it symbolises a state of enlightenment. Dr Amitav Banerjee is a rare bird to see in our modern medical parlour who can dispel the illusion of control with his lucid writings and fascinating evidence. He has also exposed the ‘cracks in our public health and regulatory systems’ so eloquently that one will realise how not to meddle with a socio-medical issue. Dr Sthabir Dasgupta, a Kolkata-based cancer practitioner and writer.

  Mysterious Ball Lightning - Also...

  Ball Lightning — one of nature’s most astonishing enigmas is a phenomena which definitely exists. One European study counted over 5,000 sightings that ignite both wonder and scientific curiosity of these weird balls. 
  It also seems to be similar to old tales of the “Will O the Wisp” and World War Two Foo Fighters. 
  St. Elmos Fire also has similar observations so data on this phenomenon that dazzles scientists, baffled yet intrigued and mystics alike are included too. 
  There are many potential explanations but none are confirmed. Although most seem to appear around thunderstorms this is not always the case. 
  My own belief is that these objects are controlled by some type of intelligence and we will discuss reasons for this later in the book. 
  In this book you will read a lot of background information and sightings that ignite both wonder and scientific curiosity stories by persons for the last hundreds of years. 
  This is just another mystery in our strange world which cries out for more investigation.
