Kalam lauds bureaucrat’s book on physics
Chandigarh, September 8 The author, an
IIT-Kanpur pass-out and Punjab bureaucrat, recently presented his book
to the President. Talking to Chandigarh Tribune, Mr Agarwal said the
President, while expressing his thoughts about the book, which discusses
the conflicts between theories of relativity and quantum mechanics,
stressed the need to have a unified theory for the laws of the universe.
He appreciated the Single Frame built by the author to reconcile these
seemingly opposed pillars of modern physics. “The President asked me
whether I was a supporter of the string theory. I said I was not”,
said the author. The string theory was the most popular attempt to have
a unified theory of the laws of the universe, he said. To overcome the
uncertainty principle, point particles are replaced by strings of
non-zero size; to bring in duality strings are made to vibrate; and six
extra ‘compactified’ spatial dimensions are added to deal with
mathematical infinities. Unified theory is all about unifying the four
fundamental forces — strong force, weak force, electro-magnetic force
and gravitational force. Interestingly, the author has de-linked
gravitational force from other three forces for various reasons. Author
has added one more spatial dimension that is affected by only gravity.
Gravity works in one direction of this special dimension and in the
other direction there should be anti-gravity.

Kohli case: hearing on CBI’s plea today
Mohali, September 8 The CBI today put up an application in the court of Chief Judicial Magistrate Parmvir Kaur Nijjar, requesting that it be allowed to take Kohli to the Delhi court for processing his extradition to the UK to face trial. CBI counsel said they had secured a production warrant from a Delhi’s Special Court headed by an Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate to produce him in the court at Patiala House on Friday. Defence counsel opposed the CBI application and sought time to reply to it. When the CJM suggested Friday for decision on the CBI’s plea, the counsel of the agency pleaded they had to produce Kohli in the Delhi court on Friday itself as per the production warrant. The CJM then deferred hearing till tomorrow. However, a Punjab court had fixed hearing tomorrow in another case against Kohli in which the prosecution had sought his discharge. The court of Kharar Sub-divisional Judicial Magistrate Poonam Ratti had on September 6 postponed till tomorrow hearing in the discharge proceedings in the case registered against Kohli last year at Mohali. The case by the Punjab police was registered on the ground that Kohli had tried to get passport on the basis of forged documents during his stay at Mohali after he had fled from the UK.

Give rebate on Punjabi films, says
Chandigarh, September 8 Mangal Dhillon said northern states should provide facilities to attract film-makers for shooting. He said at present there were no such facilities that could draw film producers. He suggested that northern states, particularly Punjab, should extend 50 to 60 per cent rebate on taxes to film-makers making films in Punjabi. This would encourage the film industry in the region, besides generating employment, he said. He said shooting of his next movie, “Shahadat” would start in 2006. Dr Gulshan Sharma, Director, ITFT, gave an audio-visual presentation of the media, entertainment and tourism industry.
