How about San Dai?? We all shorta know him and he can post the total amount raised and send it to the kid. I am not comfortable in dealing with others. what do you say people. Should we ask san Dai?? I have had a bad experience with donating money before with others so....

Here a 16 years old kid from a third world country is getting an invitation to present his proposition on gravitational theory and extent of the universe in a NASA conference (I sincerely hope it's not just a hoax). Isn’t it some accomplishment already (at least he could make NASA get curious on his statement)? If a clerk working in a patent office could come up with theories like photoelectric effect, Brownian movement and mass-energy equivalence; someone without formal training in mathematics could impress a professor at Cambridge and came up with almost 4000 theories, why not a Nepali kid? And, the news does mention that this kid is studying on the topic for years. I will be more comfortable to donate few dollars for this kid if his claims are supported by some physics professor from TU rather than his teachers from the school. If someone like Prof. Udaya Raj Khanal (who had created some sensation during my high school years claiming that it’s possible for a body to exceed the velocity of light which contradicts with Einstein’s theory) can find some light in this kid’s theory, I will be more than happy to skip few bottle of coronas for next few fridays to bring the kid to NASA conference and get grilled from the hands of heavyweight theoretical physicists like Edward Witten and Brian Green.   Last edited: 22-Apr-09 11:36 AM

If the things is true. Then first he has supposed to prove for government institution and which must support to him (ex-RONAST). I m not quite sure the new name of RONAST. I m not discouraging for any one to make fund raise or making popularity for him and marketing his school too. Though, he must prove in national and regional level before proceed to NASA. Also, he must proof his past award and abstract in this research too. Of course, he must show or someone has to provide the authorized links, videos and some sort of information about his research presentation. On top of that please ask to post his abstract in the forum. Last edited: 22-Apr-09 12:42 PM

i strongly agree with the thread posted by everest2 , first he need to establish his foundation and theroy at regional level or country level , then if his profounded theory are guinine then of course NAST(National Academy Of Science and Techonlogy) will atleast make some effort to priortize out side the country.   natra sathi haru kasiko paisa jwam parne naya thread huna sakha again no offesnce for any one..

Shirish dai, If it is true that he has received invitation from NASA to showcase his findings then it would be a worthy cause to help him out. I don't support raising funds for all the teachers - maybe one would be sufficient as far as keeping him company and for guardianship. If the other teachers find other means to get the financing then good for them too. How can we verify the authenticity of this?

Just authenticate the NASA invitation, and I will gladly fork out what I can. That's not being a cynic. Just don't want to be scammed and taken advantage of. I have been fooled by Sherpakyidug.com on Save Dolma. The amount raised for her has gone compltely unaccounted for... It's time we all use a little common sense.

I found the number for Budhanilkantha English Boarding School and will ask for verification. I will also try to contact Saraswoti Karki who reported for Kantipur. But will NASA respond to my call ? Which Dept of NASA should I call ? Can some one help me?

Ask NASA Public Communications Office NASA Headquarters Suite 5K39 Washington, DC 20546-0001 (202) 358-0001 (Office) (202) 358-4338 (Fax)

Shirish dai, I can try and find contact information for Budhanilkantha School in Biratnagar if you want. Then I think we can directly have conversation with the principle of the school and the Rijan Karki too to expedite the donation process.

ritthe · Apr 23, 2009 11:28 AM

I've tried to contact an active member of Budhanilkantha. I am waiting for his response. I will let you all know if I hear from him.

I left a message at NASA's system. Lets wait to hear from them. In the mean time, contacting Budhanilkantha English Boarding School in Biratnagar would be appreciated. The number is 524168.
