Notice how modern "Brahmic" scripts have evolved over time. The Brahmi script is said to be close to 3,000 years old. Its origins are not known clearly, but it has links to Aramaic. Most of the scripts in South Asia and Southeast Asia including those of Burmese, Thai, Javanese are derived from it.

If you want to be fit at 70, you need to get fit earlier in life. Ageing brings decline regardless of how fit you are. Start from a higher base, fall from higher up. Fitness compounds, just like money. Go lift some weights, go for a swim, walk around the block! #fitness #fitness4life #beingfit #fit

Watch the fascinating behaviour of a mass-spring-damper system as it transitions from overdamped (where motion is slow and heavily resisted) to undamped (where it oscillates freely without energy loss). Observe how varying levels of damping impact motion and energy dissipation in mechanical systems.
