Skyroot Aerospace’s Vikram-1 reached orbit on July 18, 2026, making India the third nation with private orbital launch capability. The four-stage, carbon-composite rocket carried four payloads to 450 km LEO after eight years of development. AcadNews examines the engineering, the IACT lens on the achievement, and what’s next.
When Einstein called quantum entanglement “spooky action at a distance,” he glimpsed a mystery modern physics still cannot explain. How do two particles at opposite ends of the universe “know” each other’s state instantaneously? In this fascinating conversation, Prof. M.M. Ananth reveals how ancient Vedantic philosophy offers a profound resolution: there is no “between” to cross—because separation itself is the illusion. What if consciousness, not matter, is fundamental?
Acquiring new skills and enacting personality change both invoke neurobiological adaptation, yet these processes differ substantially in terms of explicit resources, timescales, and intervention strategies. This paper synthesizes current neuroscientific evidence comparing skill learning—which involves formation and strengthening of specific neural circuits—with personality change, which touches deep-seated patterns of emotion, behavior, and cognition through extended, multifactorial approaches reshaping broader neural networks. We examine the neural mechanisms, resource requirements, temporal dynamics, and practical implications of these two transformational pathways, with particular attention to the IACT Assessment framework that operationalizes these distinctions for individual and institutional development.
