14-yr-old girl going places with astrophysics

COIMBATORE: Astrophysics and 14-year-olds may seem like a paradox, but the future and present will co-exist when Hannan Binth Hashim delivers her lecture on astrophysics at Universities of Boston, Chicago, Texas, Massachusetts Institute of Technology and 17 others across the world. Hannans six-monthlong cruise will begin this July.


A resident of Kozhikode and a class X student, Hanaan is an aspiring astrophysicist and mathematical researcher. Through her research titled Absolute Theory of Zero she is questioning the accuracy of many existing theories like Albert Einsteins Theory of relativity and the Big Bang Theory.

With a mentor in Dr Soumya Vasudevan, a Hind Rattan award winner, Hanaans works are being considered for publishing in American Journal of Theoretical Physics.

Absolute Theory of Zero is a new mathematical system which explains the established theories in a different light. Through the theory Im trying to explain that the speed of light is not constant always, she explains.

Discovering the hidden concepts of universe does not lie only in new scientific theories but also in the unexplained corners of old theories. Hanaan developed a keen interest in astrophysics while studying in eighth standard. According to her mother Ayesha, she used to read the books of her elder sister, who was in twelfth then.

She is a regular visitor to the observatories at Kozhikode and Bangalore, where she does her research.

Her works have been appreciated by former President A P J Abdul Kalam, scientists at IISc, IIMSc and many leading research institutes around the world including NASA.

Hanaan believes that the conditions in Venus are conducive to sustain life.Scientists should overcome the atmospheric challenges of Venus and should be willing to probe more. Like Mars, which we believe can sustain life, Venus too is a promising planet, she said and added that the scientific community should accept that the universe is constantly changing.

My question is why are theories replacing theories. Einstein was right during his time. Today I might prove him wrong and tomorrow someone else will prove me wrong. Hanaan participated in the NASA space camp which was held last month and said that she was thrilled when a model rocket designed by her was launched.

She is gearing up for Siemens Westinghouse Science and Technology competition for high school students in October this year in the US where she is likely to meet US President Barack Obama. Im already in touch with President Obama and am looking forward to meeting him. He has always been a source of inspiration for me.

ISRO chairman Madhavan Nair is also a huge support and inspiration, she said and added that Indian students have huge potential and wants the scientific community in India to set up more institutions to hone the skills of the young talent pool.

Already her character is being assailed, this is from the comments that followed the article,
"Looks like she is some kind of fraud. I did a google search i couldn;t get even a single hit about her except for this article."

She isn't even published and already they (relativists) are calling her a fraud.

She isn't even published and already they admit she has proved Einstein wrong.

Anonymous, "She isn't even published and already they admit she has proved Einstein wrong."

It didn't take you long to join in on the attack, she didn't claim to "prove" anything, from the article which reads,

"Through her research titled Absolute Theory of Zero she is questioning the accuracy of"...

"...she is questioning the accuracy of..."

"...questioning the accuracy of..."

"...questioning..." emphasis added

The key word there is...what?...Anonymous, can you figure it out, if not here is a hint...(questioning).

Where did you see an attack on this gifted girl?
I just hope some here would have her abilities.

Lovely little rebel; needs lengthy talk with Papa Cinci to straighten her out and clear her mind of little misconceptions!

Take a look at the certificate, Bob!

What do the three little stars stand for?

Re: AAF, 14 year old genius claims Einstein wrong June 20 2009, 7:17 PM

AAF: "Take a look at the certificate, Bob!

What do the three little stars stand for?"

1. Class participation
2. Completing assignments
3. Attendance

"Where did you see an attack on this gifted girl?

Making a false claim that she "proved" Einstein wrong is attacking her motive, which was only to question some current theories. If you did not mean it as an attack, I apologize.

Thank you, Bob!

Just don't let Dave Letterman try to make a joke out of it!

Those are big stars, AAF, and gold to boot.

"--- its about time that the idiots who believe Einstein's relativity realised that they are idiots. "

This young girl would easily turn roger into an idiot, for she certainly understand the theory of relativity and would not argue with the childish arguments of the roger.

previous poster is of course an idiot

>>...she is questioning the accuracy of many existing theories like Albert Einsteins Theory of relativity and the Big Bang Theory.

i.e. she thinks them wrong

Could this Roger's child prodigy become less than average in her adulthood?

According to the following report, the answer is sadly YES:

Jose says: I.e. she's right.

Maybe we should postpone any serious discussion till we can read the paper from Hanaan?
LOL

"Through her research titled Absolute Theory of Zero she is questioning the accuracy of many existing theories like Albert Einsteins Theory of relativity and the Big Bang Theory."

Notice the word "accuracy" whose meaning seems irrelevant for the cranks here.
They often tend to confuse "accuracy" with "truth".
The slightest inaccuracy in existing theories is a proof of falshood, fallacy, stupidity, ...
As far as their pet theories are concerned, these gurus generally make vague statements so as to avoid any experimental verdict. They can then "prove" themselves "right" just but the inaccuracies of others.

>>>Notice the word "accuracy"

so if a theory is not accurate then its wrong

"so if a theory is not accurate then its wrong"

That's exactly what cranks here understand, while they never offer one digit for experimental verification of their stories.

You understood my meaning very well, you can continue using my name.

anonymous idiot: You understood

no you just talk nonsense, there is nothing to understand

Jose says: Another egotistic, arrogant short joke from the Anonymous comedian. Did your mother laugh at that one? Before or after you hit the laugh track?

You need, Mr.Anonymous, to go shopping for some string.

maybe this teenager got her information from a sneak preview of film Transformers 2 which revealed St Albert got it wrong
