    The Biggest Nobel Prize Omission in Physics

    True.. There are those who received it posthumously too. What this video suggests it that this could be the biggest blunder of them all.

    එවරස්ට් කන්දේ උසත් ඉක්මවා ගිය DJI ඩ්‍රෝන කැමරාව

    Last year I saw a quite a large drone in Japan, in the CEATEC exhibition which could carry over more than a 100kg. DJI had their FlyCart100 which can carry 100 kg at sea level. It's a great move to reach high as the Everest. These can deliver goods and supplies rather than relying on sherpas...

    🔱 "ග්‍රීක පුරාවෘත්ත" (Greek Mythology) ඇසුරෙන් නිර්මාණය වුණු විශිෂ්ටම සිනමා නිර්මාණයක් - Iphigenia (1977) 🎬

    One of the good old movies that deserved much more recognition. Michael Cacoyannis is quite well known for his Oscar-winning film “Zorba the Greek”. He directed an Euripedean trilogy where "Iphiginia" was the third followed by “Electra” and “The Trojan Women.” It was nominated for some awards...

    Copper intake is naturally from food. eg beef, cashews, potato, chickpeas, crab/lobster etc. That's good enough for many.

    USA Visit giya aya innawada?

    Very true... A long while ago, I applied for a visit Visa for my son to the US. He was over 8 years of age at that time, and had just obtained a new SL passport. He had already travelled to the US & Canada twice by that time. I requested for just a multiple entry visa (because we usually travel...

    Tax return හෙල්ප් එකක් - ගොවිතැන කරන

    Reminds me of an old joke...probably I have posted before. A hooker walks into her accountant's office and tells him that she needs to file her taxes. The accountant says, "Before we begin, I'll need to ask a few questions." He gets her name, address, social security number, etc. and then...

    He Proved That Two Plus Two Equals Three.

    Interesting story of Sir Mark Oliphant (Marcus Laurence Elwin Oliphant 1901-2000), a pioneering scientist in Nuclear Physics.

    වේගය මනින්න කාලයක් ගත වෙන්නම ඕනෙද?

    Yes... He didn't give you the reasons. It's because the sum of an infinite series can have a finite limit (which Zeno wasn't probably aware of)

    Speed is a different measure in Quantum machines. Usually Gate Speeds or based on Algorithmic speeds. PS: These are not cheap as $ 3K... About two years ago when these were first announced a lot more in $ five figrues except for the lowest end.

    නීතිමය ගැටළුවක් සඳහා උපදෙසක් දෙන්න පුළුවන්ද?

    This is true... The transferee can authorise in writing but it should be a properly authorised document with some sort of certification.. PS: Note this applies to the purchaser, not the seller

    Clean Sr Lanka: රුහුණේ සරසවි සිසුවියක් ඩෙංගු මාරයාට බිලි!

    Dengvaxia is nearly discontinued now. It was really not for first time infection prevention but for the prevention of subsequent infections that could be more dangerous. QDenga (Takeda TAK-003) - live attenuated tetravalent vaccine (against serotypes 1,2,3 & 4) is currently preferred.

    In contrast to superconducting quantum machines these use NMR (Nuclear Magnetic Resonance) and can operate in a normal environment - no cryogenics.

    Note that the Power of Attorney Act was amended in October 2022. No need to visit the consulate or the embassy like previously. Any registered lawyer in your country of domicile can attest. But it needs to be registered in SL. Also as mentioned above limit the POA only to this transaction.
