Bangalore, India – May 24, 2024 – H.V. Mohan Lal, a self-taught researcher driven by a passion for uncovering the mysteries of the universe, unveiled his groundbreaking book, “The Real Theory of Everything,” at a well-attended press conference on Friday, May 24th, 2024. The event, held in Medahalli, Bangalore, attracted a substantial audience of media representatives and science enthusiasts, all eager to explore Lal’s revolutionary ideas.
Beyond theoretical contributions, Lal built a 40-foot Microgravity Drop Tower (ARYABHATTA MICROGRAVITY DROP TOWER or AMDT) to facilitate practical experimentation related to gravity. This tower served as a bridge between scientific discovery and the public, catering to both seasoned researchers and curious minds, fostering a space for exploration and exchange of ideas. The event featured a live demonstration showcasing the AMDT’s capabilities and Lal’s theories on the Moon’s rotation and solar system formation, captivating the audience with a glimpse into the practical applications of his work.
“My journey began with a seemingly simple yet profound question: ‘How can something like time, which appears intangible, interact with the vast emptiness of space?’ This fundamental curiosity sparked a dedicated research odyssey, leading me to immerse myself in the works of scientific giants like Einstein, Newton, and Tesla. However, my exploration went beyond mere understanding. My research ultimately led me to propose a new framework that challenges the status quo and offers alternative explanations for phenomena like curved spacetime, a cornerstone of Einstein’s theory of general relativity,” said H.V. Mohan Lal.
Lal emphasized the importance of open dialogue and exploration within the scientific community. “The Real Theory of Everything” was not intended to be the final word, but rather a catalyst for further discussion and investigation. Lal hoped his work would spark a new wave of scientific inquiry and lead to groundbreaking discoveries. The book offered a unique perspective on fundamental physics, making it a valuable resource for both seasoned physicists seeking alternative viewpoints and curious individuals fascinated by the cosmos.

Cancer is less amenable to preventive measures in women compared to men
BENGALURU / May 23, 2024: India sees 7 lakh new women patients of cancer each year, with more than one fourth of all cases involving breast cancer (28.8%), followed by cancer of cervix (10.6%), ovary (6.2%), uterus (3.7%) and lung (3.7%). Cancer ranks among top three causes of premature death among women worldwide, but the disease is less amenable to preventive measures in them compared to men. This was said by cancer specialists of Sammprada Hospital, Bengaluru ahead of the International Day of Action for Women’s Health.
Said Dr. Radheshyam Naik, Consultant Medical Oncologist and Hematologist & Bone Marrow Transplant Physician, Sammprada Hospital, Bengaluru: “India contributes about around 1.23 lakh cervical cancer and 1.44 lakh breast cancer cases every year. It accounts for nearly one-third of all global cervical cancer deaths. In recent years, breast cancer has surpassed cervical cancer in-terms of incidence and cause of death in the country.”
He added: “The state at which cancer is diagnosed is a crucial indicator of how effective early diagnosis and screening interventions would be. Unfortunately, majority of cases of breast cancer (57%), ovary (40.6%), and Cervix (60%) are diagnosed at a stage where the cancer has already spread to nearby lymph nodes, tissues, or organs.”
Dr. Vinod K Ramani, Preventive Oncologist & Dr. Radheshyam Naik, Consultant Medical Oncologist and Hematologist & Bone Marrow Transplant Physician.
Talking about the importance of preventive measures against cancer for women, Dr. Vinod K Ramani, Preventive Oncologist, Sammprada Hospital, Bengaluru: “We recommend all women get themselves screened annually for six types of cancers, including that of breast, cervix, oral cavity, stomach, lung, and colorectal regions. It is important for women in the age group 9 to 15 years to undergo HPV vaccination and adult women to get themselves vaccinated against Hepatitis B virus. In addition, women should be screened for cancer biomarkers which enable early diagnosis, as well as for infections such as Helicobacter pylori, Hepatitis B and Hepatitis C. Women are also advised against using skin-lightening creams containing hydroquinone and cosmetic products containing parabens, as these can also lead to cancer.”
In India, 60% of breast cancer cases are diagnosed at stage III or IV of the disease. The survival rate of patients with breast cancer is poor in India compared to Western countries. India alone accounts for one-quarter of the worldwide burden of cervical cancers. It is estimated that cervical cancer will occur in approximately 1 in 53 Indian women during their lifetime, compared with 1 in 100 women in more developed regions of the world. Cervical cancer is the second most common cancer among women aged 15-44 years in India, with more than 3/4th cases diagnosed at advanced clinical stage with poor prospects of survival.
