The Kalki Avataar - Singularity

Karthik mentioned that in a way the 10 Avataars of Lord Vishnu as per Hindu Mythology indicates evolution of life on earth. The 10th Avataar called the Kalki Avataar is suppose to happen during our life time.

The technology Forecasting guru Ray Kurzweil claims the end of human race as we know is near and artificial /Machines will exceed biological intelligence b 2045 AD.

Since Arthur C. Clark died last week, as a tribute to the Science Fiction Writer, I predict, The Kalki Avataar will be half machine half human. I hope this is not blasphemy.

By definition then, the 10th Avataar has to be created by humans - not necessarily through biological processes alone but ma be through artificial process as well.

Let us wait - or shall we start thinking of making the next Avataar!

yMore interesting and scientific thoughts will be found from our hindu mythology. 10 avathars will be considered as biological evolution. From a great epic Mahabharatha, we explore scientic findings:
1. Test-tube baby (Birth of Gauravas) Gandharai put her embryo in to a glass pot and adding some medicine(that ingrediants were not revealed in Mahabharatha)
2."Bramasthra" were considered to be the most powerful weapon, when we look at the effect of that asthra mentoned in that epic, it may equal to atom bomb.
3. Uttara, wife of Abhimanyu, was carrying the seed of her husband in her womb. Ashwatthama, son of Guru Drona, tried to kill the (By using atomic rays) fetus in the womb of Uttara, at the end of war . Sri Krishna revived the child with his spiritual power. Again the concept of "Incubator" was coming. Krishna takes that fetus and putting in to a setup like "incumbator"

Our epic could not be considered as simple stories.There are more scientic and Management lessons to be learnt from them

Regarding Kalki avathar, It will take still more 2000 years to go as per calculation of kaliyuga having 5000 years , still now we had crossed only 3000 years!!!
