Ch 1 : Prytesh For Science

Scientifically speaking, Prytesh is not a scientist but a new science by himself.
Prytesh’s contribution to science is enormous; after Newton, Gallelio and Einstein he is arguably the greatest single contributor to science. Yet you wont find his name on any science book or mag. And science will have to pay the price for this some day.

Prytesh’s greatest achievement was when he invented himself, somewhere around 1983.

‘Why did the chickens cross the road?’, this was the question which made physicist scratch their hairless heads for centuries.
Prytesh found the answer by simply using the Newton’s first law of motion, he said “Chickens which are at rest continue to remain at rest and chickens which move, when an unbalanced force acts on them, tend to cross the road ”.
Most scientists believe this is a collorary to Newton’s First Law, but others say that this is a proof for the validity of Newton’s Law itself.

Prytesh always wondered how Newton’s Third law works. “How can a non living object exert force when we push against it”, he wondered.
Once while watching a bull fight Prytesh discovered a practical proof for Newton’s Third law.
He saw two bulls clashing head to head and pushing each other, but none of them was able to dislodge the other because they exerted the same force in opposite directions, and there was a dead-lock. He considered the bulls as bull A and bull B.
Prytesh explains, “Replace the bull A by a stationary wall, bull B still cant push the wall, the same way as he wasn’t able to push bull A, that’s it, bull A pushing bull B is equivalent to the wall pushing bull B.”
Thanks to Prytesh, Newton was proved right once again.

The only thing that prevented Prytesh from becoming as noted and famous as Sir Newton was the absence of apple trees in his village.

Prytesh refuses to accept that Earth revolves around the Sun, he explains, “There is nothing like absolute position of an object in the space, so one can’t say that earth goes around the sun, or the vice-versa. Earth and sun follow parallel paths at constant relative velocity and earth takes about 23 hrs and 57 mins to complete one rotation about its own axis.”
He further says, “If earth was revolving around the sun, it would have continuously lost energy due to its rotation about its axis and the radius of its circular orbit would have reduced continuously. Finally earth would have slammed into the sun and all chickens would have become tandooris, but this is not the case.”

Prytesh does not believe in Aliens nor does he believe in existence of life outside the solar system.

Prytesh laughs at NASA’s plans for building interstellar space vehicles.
He says, “The distance between Earth and its neighboring stars is several light years, so even if you built a space vehicle travelling near the speed of light, which is almost impossible, you would take hundreds of years to reach there ”.
He further explains, “Average age of a human being is 64 yrs. Even if you start your interstellar journey as soon as you are born, you wont be alive to complete the journey. Also how will you supply fuel and food for so many years?”

Prytesh also proposed the theory of ‘Biological Reversal’.
He states, “In every cell of every animal, there’s an inactive part called the ‘Junk DNA’, if somehow this junk part is made to be dominant then we can biologically go back in time, i.e. induce devolution”.
Earlier this theory met severe resistance from Darwin’s followers, and especially from the Roman Catholic Church. But after the encounter of so called ‘monkey man’ the ‘Biological Reversal’ theory is getting wide acceptance.

Prytesh was nominated for the Nobel prize a couple of times but it was found that his name always appeared in the wrong categories.
