Option is the possibility of running it in different ways, no matter what the laws of Nature

 dictate, otherwise it couldn’t be an option. However among all apparently  possible

 paths there is a single and only a single one consistent with the laws of Nature.

No option? No purpose.

 

What makes life pleasant is ignorance.

The survival of the intelligent life relies on a partial ignorance (as a driving force) without which the absurdity of the life cycles becomes apparent. 

Once we fully wake up the dream is over.

Slavery never turns into the freedom unless the forbidden fruit is eaten.

9 is suffering from 91. The domination of 1 over 99 could never be possible without the yielding of 90 to 1, either under the pressure in dictatorships or

deception in hypocrisies, however, a world without 91 would never turn to heaven. 9 has a 91 hidden inside. 

Kings to kings, slaves to slaves, the former in wealth and peace of mind, the latter in poverty and misery yet in rush of multiplying to better serve the former.

The human stupidity is without borders.

 

Research Interests:

 

The major line of my current activities consists of the study of mantle convection, planetary interior, the impact of the

pressure-induced phase and spin transitions on mantle dynamics and the heating modes and thermal evolution of the planets using 2D and

3D-numerical models.  As a numerical modeler who is involved with the numerical works, part of my activities from time to time includes the development of numerical

codes and their parallelization on cluster platforms, however, I am mainly concentrated on science employing my numerical skills for serving the science. 

My main focus at the present time is investigation on the feedback between mantle convection and surface motion by employing inputs

from seismic tomographic imaging of internal mantle density heterogeneity.

 

Justice is what we get not what we seek,

Nature has no conscience.
