The Goa Institute and other information

In a blog entry dated May 28th, 2010, I mentioned the founding of the Goa branch of the "Institute for Fundamental Studies". This Institute is now well under way, and in fact has now been running since September 16th, 2010.

The one minor criticism we have so far had is that the front of the roof looks rather tatty. 

A Mr. Raja has very kindly agreed to fix us up with a golden roof, and when and if this is completed, assuming no difficulties, we will place a new photograph of our Institute with its new golden roof on our recently created website.

Hopefully our Institute will then, with its shimmering golden roof, look like a true "Palace of Culture and Science" or, if you wish, almost like a 'Golden Temple' or a Buddhist centre of reflection. Clearly we could also consider such work as that of Barthes or Eliade in that connection, but certainly that is not our immediate intention. We expect that this work may be done in a few weeks.

As I stated above, we now have our own website. Experience suggested that 'free' websites provided by ISPs have an unfortunate habit of simply disappearing with little warning. Thus it is our own website, which we purchased for a period of 10 years, the current maximum time anyone can own a website.

Our URL is ifsgoa.com .

On our website the intention is to place copies of our more important recent research contributions. On the page entitled 'Publications' already over 30 PDF files have been placed . Other ongoing work, such as pictures of experimental apparatus and videos, may be published on other pages. The present blog will be continued and hopefully will still include some completed work, some details of work in progress, and other news.
