Mirza Najaf Khan died on 6 April 1782, aged only forty-six. For ten years he had worked agains t all the odds, and usually without thanks, to restore to Shah Alam the empire of his ancestors. Thereafter, as one historian put it, ‘The rays of hope for the recovery of the Mughal glory that had begun to shine were dissipated in the growing cloud of anarchy.’ Najaf Khan was remembered as the last really powerful nobleman of the Mughal rule in India and was given the honorific title of Zul-Fiqaru’d-Daula (the Ultimate Discriminator of the Kingdom).

“One technique we use is the 20-minute rule. The idea is to devote at least 20 minutes a day to learning something new or diving deeper into a specific topic. Figure 2-6 illustrates some good places to spend your 20 minutes, such as InfoQ, DZone Refcardz, and the Thoughtworks Technology Radar. You can learn more about unfamiliar buzzwords by looking them up on the internet, promoting that knowledge from “the stuff you don’t know you don’t know” into the “stuff you know you don’t know.” You could even spend that time reading a book like this one. The point is to carve some time out of your busy day to focus on developing your technical breadth and thus your career.”

If there’s nothing special about your observation of a thing, then, in the absence of relevant knowledge, that thing has a 50 % chance of lasting between 1/3 to 3 times its present age. In physics, standard practice is to talk about predictions that have a 95 % chance of being correct rather than a 50 % chance. So there’s a slight change in the numbers: 1/39 to 39 times.
Our species is about 175,000 years old. Applying Gott’s rule, we find there’s a 95 % chance that the future lifetime of our species is between about 4500 years and 6.8 million years.
