Kashi, the city of light, stands as a testament to creation, destruction, and ultimately, redemption. This ancient city, bathed in the sacred waters of the Ganges, has a story as old as time itself, intertwined with the divine narratives of Shiva Purana. From Lord Brahma and Vishnu's delusion to Kaal Bhairav's wrathful origin, Kashi has witnessed a play of cosmic forces that ultimately underscored Shiva's supremacy as the lord of creation, destruction, and liberation.

Studies have failed to demonstrate any patterns or correlations between astrological charts and real-life outcomes. We also discuss the psychological techniques used by astrologers to persuade people of their abilities and how our tendency to seek out patterns can reinforce our beliefs in astrology.Calculations:Gravitational force between a person on Earth & planet Jupiter-G = 6.67430 x 10^-11 m^3 kg^-1 s^-2: This is the gravitational constant.m1 = 70 kg: This is the mass of the person on Earth.m2 = 1.898 x 10^27 kg: This is the mass of Jupiter.r = 7.78 x 10^12 meters: This is the average distance between the person on earth and Jupiter.Plugging these values into the equation, we get:F = 6.67430 x 10^-11 m^3 kg^-1 s^-2 x (70 kg x 1.898 x 10^27 kg) / (7.78 x 10^12 m)^2F = 1.46 × 10^-7 NewtonsGravitational force between planet Earth & planet Jupiter -G = 6.67430 x 10^-11 m^3 kg^-1 s^-2: This is the gravitational constant.m1 = 5.97 x 10^24 kg: This is the mass of Earth.m2 = 1.898 x 10^27 kg: This is the mass of Jupiter.r = 7.78 x 10^12 meters: This is the average distance between the person on earth and Jupiter.Plugging these values into the equation, we get:F = 6.67430 x 10^-11 m^3 kg^-1 s^-2 x (5.97 x 10^24 kg  x 1.898 x 10^27 kg) / (7.78 x 10^12 m)^2F = 1.25 × 10^16 NewtonsGravitational force between a person & a car -G = 6.67430 x 10^-11 m^3 kg^-1 s^-2: This is the gravitational constant.m1 = 1500 kg: This is the mass of the car.m2 = 70 kg: This is the mass of a person.r = 2 meters: This is distance between car and the personPlugging these values into the formula, we get:F = 6.67430 x 10^-11 m^3 kg^-1 s^-2 x (1500 kg x 70 kg) / (2 m)^2F = 1.75 x 10^-6 NewtonsContact, follow and support my work - all in one place: ⁠⁠⁠⁠https://linktr.ee/NamaskarIndia⁠⁠⁠UPI ID: 9893547492@ptaxisTopic: History of India | Astrology | Astronomy
