I visited my grandparents often in the 1950s and 1960s. They lived at Rannes, in the Dawson Valley, Central Queensland. My grandmother, "Nan" (pictured), was the most wonderful cook. She always used a combustion stove.

A very old inline 4 cylinder (I-4) internal combustion engine at a museum in Wetaskiwin Alberta. The redness on the second cylinder makes me think that it ran a little lean and hot.

you're like a suicidal cowboy
at home in the range
it's not danger you fear
it's just getting too near
to a leaky heart
or an open flame
you're a shear-shy sheep
afraid of her own wool
spontaneous combustion of the soul
a shadow-shy moth
in love with the candle
on the run from more darkness
than you can handle
mysterious shades
in your ventricles and veins
like a bucking bronco
too tamed to recognize your reins

Say first, for Heav'n hides nothing from thy view
Nor the deep Tract of Hell, say first what cause
Mov'd our Grand Parents in that happy State,
Favour'd of Heav'n so highly, to fall off
From thir Creator, and transgress his Will
For one restraint, Lords of the World besides?
Who first seduc'd them to that foul revolt?
Th' infernal Serpent; he it was, whose guile
Stird up with Envy and Revenge, deceiv'd
The Mother of Mankind, what time his Pride
Had cast him out from Heav'n, with all his Host
Of Rebel Angels, by whose aid aspiring
To set himself in Glory above his Peers,
He trusted to have equal'd the most High,
If he oppos'd; and with ambitious aim
Against the Throne and Monarchy of God
Rais'd impious War in Heav'n and Battel proud
With vain attempt. Him the Almighty Power
Hurld headlong flaming from th' Ethereal Skie
With hideous ruine and combustion down
To bottomless perdition, there to dwell
In Adamantine Chains and penal Fire,
Who durst defie th' Omnipotent to Arms.
John Milton - Paradise Lost
Narra tu prima (poiché nulla il cielo,
Nulla l'inferno agli occhi tuoi nasconde),
Narra qual mai cagion gli antichi nostri
Padri, sì cari al cielo e in sì felice
Stato locati, a ribellarsi mosse
Da lui che gli creò. Mentre signori
Eran del mondo, un suo leggier divieto
Come romper fur osi? Al turpe eccesso
Chi sedusse gl'ingrati? Il Serpe reo
D'inferno fu. Mastro di frodi e punto
Da livore e vendetta egli l'antica
Nostra madre ingannò, quando l'insano
Orgoglio suo dal ciel cacciato l'ebbe
Con tutta l'oste de' rubelli Spirti.
Su lor coll'armi loro alto a levarsi
Ambìa l'iniquo e d'agguagliarsi a Dio
Pensò, se a Dio si fosse opposto. Il folle
Pensier superbo rivolgendo in mente,
Incontro al soglio del Monarca eterno
Mosse empia guerra e a temeraria pugna
Venne, ma invan. L'onnipossente braccio
Tra incendio immenso e orribile ruina
Fuor lo scagliò dalle superne sedi
Giù capovolto e divampante in nero,
Privo di fondo disperato abisso;
Ove in catene d'adamante stretto
A starsi fu dannato e in fiamme ultrici
Qual tracotato sfidator di Dio.
John Milton - Il Paradiso perduto
"Combustion Chamber"
A place where light enters and is then compressed until it explodes. Pixels are destroyed, torn apart and rearranged as the machine sees fit. To suit the machine's needs. A place of chaos and order, colliding to form negative space. The only thing that remains is color, air... and silence.

Took the portrait format and loaded it into Photoshop. Then I reversed the proportions and even added more length to the width. This is the last piece I worked on in 2016.
iss072e747148 (March 18, 2025) --- NASA astronaut and Expedition 72 Flight Engineer Don Pettit inserts research hardware into the Combustion Integrated Rack located inside the International Space Station's Destiny laboratory module. Pettit was configuring the SoFIE-MIST, or the Solid Fuel Ignition and Extinction - Material Ignition and Suppression Test, investigation that is exploring the flammability of materials in microgravity to improve spacecraft fire safety.
Connecting the dots of the data of "you are what you eat" by means Theoretical Physical analysis of 'brain' and 'soul' foods potential to power a person, group, and or planet over time and space and therefore 'serve' as a set of complimentary (paired, and repaired quark) atomic bonds as common denominators that therefore are able to connect minds with matter, at given 'frequencies'; of a higher versus lower quality in terms of inputs and outputs i/o of health v. junk food as defined by diet. Reasoning that therefore if in the words of Hippocrates; “Let food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food” then -- what is the logical reasoning that holds this to be true; when 'the onion is pealed' down to its subatomic bonded core?
Should and could not a forward and reverse engineering analysis of the food and combustion chains concentric atomic rings therefore reveal; how, what, and where our hearts/minds/souls might be powered and simultaneously connected by our diet in the form of Dark Matter and Energy being organic as 'born' by bacterial means. Then might this explanation provide a rational way of (re)fueling and transmitting the energetic power and light by which the workings of the Universe operate as we observe over Space and Time constitutes therefore my thesis and the following essay is my reasoning in material-logical detail.
Credit and inspiration for my thinking on this subject, is owed and drawn from the applied material science lessons and logic of en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Clerk_Maxwell and the lessons and logic of Maxwell's Demon, mixed with point of view from of Steven Hawking, Dion, and Niels Bohr most notably.
If 'The Demon's' lessons are heeded by means of the multiple conclusions observed repeatedly - which demonstrate so completely the physics of how on every level of the food chain; 'knowledge is power', and how that translates into everything from the means to control the 'heat in the kitchen' which can be translated into 'horse' or so much human power by means of connecting the consumer to need (call them oats in this case of a energy source used by humans or horses), by means raw materials to value added products and or the material of the messages; hence the great herds are bound by their diets (what they consume as food) as any given group of life forms, therefor bound by the 'breaking 'bread' technology of the material of their diets; up and down the food chain.
This photo essay attempts an explanation at the myriad means by which food serves as the radio(logical) messenger that binds the food chains by means the radiant heat of the kitchens powering, the vector of the accumulated 'data stack' of the hydrogen bonds (re)created and broken whilst repairing quarks as Dark Matter's atomic bacterial core as the source and vector of its energy that is never lost and therefore moves by means the phase transition), as both shrink and expansion, in a 'complimentary' analysis to the big picture though the above photo explored as a source of power for connecting the Universe in the micro and macro by understanding the Arrow of Time™ as being organic in Nature.
Case in point of hypothesis is illustrated by the above photo of a iron skillet of fine pasta, being doused with wine, loaded with tomato's from my garden, pepper bacon, cooked out doors on propane gas, and consumed with friends -- 'breaking bread' together.
According to my research and reasoning; organic 'logic' is at its atomic core; 'barnyard', a two way process of capture and refresh of the discharged power of the Sun, transmitted by light, and water as captured by matter on earth, so as to be found on the table, in so many words, in the form of so much energy in a final pound for pound/kilo for kilo expression of food as a means to health 'one day at a time', as time, budget health and culture permit one meal at a time to see the next, while accomplishing the most in between these (hopefully regular) meal times.
In a attempt to understand the power of information care of this Maxwell and his Demon's method and technology understood and applied as explained by expertly briefly via; How fractals can help you understand the universe | BBC Ideas youtu.be/w_MNQBWQ5DI
To frame the issue of the heat in the matter, which is important as a function of so many atomic CNO hydrogen bonded 'mega marbles' in the form of long chain macromolecules, as forged by iron skillet technology as I shall explain further in terms of; 'General Radical Relativity'.
Ergo, if your goal from your diet is to rewind and 're spool' your genome into the most vigorous creative version of you that can be made out of a tasty meal plan out of your friendly neighborhood 'access point' to the food Chain, then amount of DNA, you access is a direct result of the en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrogen_bond s in your diet as present in 'you are what you eat' technology. This being in the form of hydrogen and nitrogen bonds harvested as the radiant energy contained in branches of the Phylogenetic tree whose atomic bits are the basic food stuffs of nature. From the single cell come; orange juice, the chicken, and egg, not to mention coffee, and the belly of the beast that is mass equivalence that is what it took for 'this little piggy' to become the nitrogen, oxygen, and carbon cycles incarnate to the point of rendering them as recognizable as tasty bits of bacon. A hearty breakfast and the building blocks of personal 'intensity' at the cellular level E.g. (extreme case in point-> www.sciencenews.org/article/steroids-boost-muscles-long-haul ) to 'wind the spring' {of ATP Synthase** [ www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=XI8m6... ]) in ones metaphorical and literal step, by means the running of the food chain, as illustrated of the micro to macro gearbox running at different levels of peak given the inputs prior, as completely predictable due to a deficit of hydrogen bonds. A tidy illustration of the 'Water Math' of atoms at their core coming Home' to roost as (re)paired quarks as illustrated by Maxwell and the Demon being either over or underwhelmed.
This going and coming around of the 'Dinner Party of the Universe in the micro to macro' needs for practical purposes a 'kitchen sink' which is here understood and metaphorically introduced in this essay as the hypothesized Gamma and X-Ray Cycles™ working "Live in concert at the speed of lights limits' w/ in the family of Bacteria that manufactures Nitrogen and other combustion gasses IS the illusive Dark Matter that begets Energy that powers life and in doing so re-powers the Sun and closes the loop on the combustion chain, thus making and breaking the hydrogen bond along the way of 'greasing the wheels' of the food chain by giving us the pigs in our diet which are so many hams, pork chops and much bacon. In simplest terms of E=MC2 meets Game Theory/markets/supply demand to explain the basis of the belly of the economic beast as well as market basket construct of what it takes to make the - savory 'Great American Heart Attack Breakfast'. There is serious thought buried (between my ears on this subject), and or expressed much better elsewhere. And or better understood by returning to the metaphorical dinner table, from this side stream of consciousness.
So as to follow the logic and wisdom of the eminent singer (and logician) Dion, he explains in a interview that there is such a thing as "brain food"; www.nytimes.com/2011/01/18/health/research/18aging.html and according to Dion there exists zabaglione technology; "More than a half-century after his first hit, he thinks back to what his life was like as a child, when his grandfather Tony would wake him every morning to the rhythmic clack of a wooden spoon in a tin cup beating egg yolks, sugar and wine into a frothy yellow concoction known as zabaglione. “That’s brain food,” Dion said. “That’s one of the reasons my brain is so highly developed. By the time I got to school I was like, ‘Trig? Bring it. Algebra? Bring it.’ I haven’t come down from that stuff.”

In a better attempt to 'peal the atomic onion' we shall metaphorically back up the dinner wagon of analysis to the 29:30 minute mark ( youtu.be/jqxENMKaeCU?t=29m4s ) of the film "HOME" , where we find a flurry of data points to feast on the relative 'water math' of various types of food. Along with a side dish of a agenda to make hash of meat if we follow the point of view being offered and reasoned in terms of 'water math' as water made atomically available and portable in the form of ;
300 liters of water to make a kilo of potatoes, 3000 liters to make a kilo of rice, and 30,000 to make a kilo of beef -- along with oil, that due to the miracle of social agenda the vegetable matter does not need to get to market, only the animal protein requires condensation in the narration to get its gas to get to market-- the plant protein one assumes has been empowered and learned to drive itself to market, on the basis of its near atomic levels of smugness and self satisfaction, while completely missing the nutritional mark of French and en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mediterranian cooking and their role in the en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Age_of_Enlightenment hence the premise HOME that rice is a solid food source pound for pound, is not supported by its water weight math in the least. According to Mark Bittman: "Butter is Back" - nyti.ms/1fZ7oQS put some butter on that rice and potatoes for a force of nature multiplied on your plate - along with salt and pepper count the quarks built into each bite compared to the nutritional value of 'a kilo of (unseasoned, or buttered) potatoes'.
Which from a health standpoint is, (go figure - if you are what you eat/as goes one, goes the general population) advisory; www.nytimes.com/export_html/common/new_article_post.html?....

Bringing the whole 'matter' home for a final analysis by some random recurring number scheme, that seems to work wonders -- as the 'construction' of the Universes gears rung by means the cogs in the wheels of the CNO cycles allowing them to function by means of of the making and breaking of the hydrogen bond that can be expressed in 'math terms' as a never ending fractal based equation of total Hiesenbergian market based 'crap shoot' of all matter and energy in perpetual motion in the process of shaping the periodic table as well as sharpening the genome by means of en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evolution based on en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Game_theory and getting fuel for the genome by means of the Gamma and Xray Cycles soaking and returning the radiant energy of (sub)atomic bonds to the sun so it continues to burn bright.
Waste such as VOC's gets vented to big Black Hole in the sky by means of the infamous hole in the ozone -- the Earth and the Universe being run on the principle of chemwiki.ucdavis.edu/VV_Lab_Techniques/Rotary_Evaporation which (go figure, what goes up comes by evaporation, comes down as) en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Precipitation_%28meteorology%29 and by my thinking for reprocessing -- all on a relative basis here as well.
Be it the lowest to highest form of life, at its core the food chain and its membership runs on the atomic heavy lifting (making and breaking nitrogen power) of bacteria right down the lines of combustion as in the above illustration showing how a hydrocarbon flame is a family of bacteria that binds en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nitrous_oxide to the carbon atoms which enables the the process of combustion is that which is Dark Matter moving matter in a the particle accelerator that is the hot iron skillet.
In my theory of cooking, that has directed my research into matter: light and dark so as to sort the devil in the details so as to find God with a assist from PBS to connect the fractal

Hence, by beginning to understanding the Theoretical Physical math of expansion and shrink to be driven by bacteria, mold, fungus, as so many microbiological 'wheels (perpetually) turning' - by dint of quark manufacture and repair - of the life force that is DNA which is able to replicate the code(s) that powers and runs the OS of the 'nature of Nature' as construct which best fits my personal 'vision thing' of how the gears of the Universe small and large turn writ processing of the CNO cycles working by means of of the making and breaking of en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrogen_bond in the above mentioned fractalized gear box of running the; / en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Feynman_diagram of Hiesenbergian market driven 'spinning of the wheel' of so much inputs and outputs of matter in motion in service of a en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evolution to expand the Universe by means of perpetual motion of being 'self powered'; what are the odds - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Game_theory as possibly propelled by a dynamic I'm calling the [Gamma and X-RAY Cycles] with Gamma moving matter --> (forward) in expansion and Xray (quarks backward to a BH or back to the Sun in completion of e-m) Cycles rolling up segments of atomic Dark Matter by being the vector of the movement of (sub)atomic bonds to the Sun so it continues to burn bright thereby (perhaps resolving that pesky devil in the details of Science the; en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Faint_young_Sun_paradox) .
Waste (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inefficiency being resolved by seeking to be reprocessed in a orderly way) such as VOC's gets vented to big Black Hole in the sky by means of the infamous (organic dynamic) hole in the ozone -- the Earth and the Universe being run on the principle of chemwiki.ucdavis.edu/VV_Lab_Techniques/Rotary_Evaporation which results in (go figure) en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Precipitation_%28meteorology%29 and by my thinking for reprocessing -- all on a relative basis here as well, working in forward and reverse engineering in the macro and micro -- working off the stored energy of the Sun -- being run in a hydrogen and nitrogen bound loop . Think food, heat and sewage in simplest micro macro terms of 'barn yard applied logic' that yields so much or little meat and produce. As a function of the family of bacteria that binds en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nitrous_oxide to carbon and thus enables combustion in food as well as fire I firmly believe and theorize is the illusive Dark Matter™. Found all around us in this fractal based perpetual planetary mixing machine that runs not unlike a fractal based 'screen saver' (E.g. itunes™ in visualizer mode) by means of the thermal power of convection heating and cooling which begets waters as available resources as inputs, drawing waste as outputs to be reused in as measures of heat, and or do much E=MC2*. Thus completing the open integrated circuit on a theory of making dinner replicable each night from market basket of goods around the globe - which now has a theory of why light travels at the max speed of 300,000 m/s which I estimate is due to the high and low energy photons completing a binary circuit while running a fractal equation using hot/cold/on/off/ and the magic of predictable rotation/rotary evaporation which works at the cosmological constant from the power source to the end point to make the entire atomic clock some how run on time, with the power for all time -- limited in lights speed by the bugs of bacteria ability to carry the atomic waters in a loop in hydrogen carbon nitrogen cycles that comprise the 'foam of space' as so much 'static'.
My diet of information and hydrogen/nitrogen bonds as expressed as fancy tasty molecules of fatty acid forged and formed for my health on iron with heat so as to make strong as possible sense in my (illustrated) considered tangential mindful of this particular tangent, as to how and why matter comes and goes around trip to (the Sun to for example the Nevada Desert) ; www.flickr.com/photos/tremain_calm/5000324780/ .
From the 'only have to be correct once' school of the invention, with a 'turn key' long shot micro to macro picture of how by 'thinking different' about Dark Matter and Energy as being at the core of the quantum mechanics of the nature of food, light and water cycles -- by means of a draft report from the Departments of Science, Industry and, your Safety Committee.

Why Fat Particles Radiate Less
January 6, 2013 — elkement
Reading "Knocking on Heaven’s Door" by Lisa Randall which has a chapter on the impressive machinery of Large Hadron Collider. The LHC has been built to smash proton beams against each other: Protons, not electrons. Why protons? I stumbled upon the following statement:
" “But accelerated particles radiate, and the lighter they are, the more they do so”.
Electrons would cause higher radiation losses and less energy would be available for the creation of new particles in collisions.
But why is this so? In order to prove this, you would go through a calculation of the electromagnetic field generated by the moving particles based on Maxwell’s equations (which are relativistic per default).
I think you can understand it qualitatively from this chain of reasoning:
If a particle is forced to move on a curved path, it is accelerated – such as planets are accelerated all the time by the gravitational force exerted by the sun."

Data shot through this stack; Coming from a cooking perspective and liking fats in my diet and attempting to combine them into big long chain molecules by cooking multiple fatty foods together -- well this post caught my eye.
Taking the line of reasoning to the book shelf, for a attempt to solve a riddle I have a copied a data stack of "Weights of Commonly Used Materials" from the book "The Ocean Going Yacht" by Don Street Jr. p. 687 1973 W.W. Norton & Co. NY
because of their striking connection to this post in terms of energy per square unit of measure this being expressed in terms of cubic square feet. I include also the metal chart because it reflects 'water math' in terms of hydrogen bonding' of the periodic table and what I perceive to the the Dark Matter and Energy of the en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Phylogenetic_tree.svg as the atomic core of quantum dynamics that flings off electrons in the particle accelerator or oil refinery to get so much;

Now read this;
Revised for clarity and minor content 12/23-24/2013 on a fluid dynamic work in progress, that is recently getting overdue power editing attention for readability as well as obvious granularity I probably overlooked.

-- which not accident is the is logically consistent with the thesis that can be found in and of www.pbs.org/food/features/in-defense-of-food-transcript/ or www.pbs.org/show/in-defense-of-food/
"Marion Nestle, Professor of Nutrition, New York University: You don’t have to be a scientist to know how to eat. To me that’s one of the interesting things about nutrition, is everybody can eat a healthy diet, and they can put together their own healthy diet without knowing thing one about the biology of nutrients.
Just go around the outside of the supermarket and pick up fruits, vegetables, meat, and stay out of the processed foods, because they’re fun to eat once in a while, but they shouldn’t be daily fare."
Sounds like a recipe for successful; shopping, cooking, thinking, living, and general health by means of diet so as to be able to have the energy to exercise ones body and mind to see clearly how, what and when to eat and drink.

"If Napoleon's armies marched on their stomachs, American ones march on bandwidth."
-The Economist 1/1/7/08
There's a saying in military history circles: "Amateurs think tactics; professionals think logistics."
Which leads me to circle this thought back to page 403 of The Ocean Sailing Yacht by Donald M. Street, Jr.** who has calculated what it takes to power a crew in terms of weight and composition of the provisions and, issues extensive comment and instructions on the logistics of going to sea regarding food; - "Standard food ration of 5 1/2 pounds plus a gallon of liquid (juice, beer, water and so on) per man per day weighing 8 pounds for a total of 13 1/2pounds of stores.",
Street follows by also quoting Napoleon on the power of nutrition to heal and bind nerves, to overcome adversity, and enabling the parts move together as one; - "According to Napoleon, an army marches on its stomach. Similarly, a boat travels on its stomach. I have never seen a well-fed crew that was complaining and uncooperative. No matter how rough the going, it's never really bad if one can get two hot meals a day."
Could not agree more, as I am myself only as balanced mentally energized physically as the sum of the product of my last three HOT meals, which is a unhappy function of economy.

Cremation is the combustion, vaporization and oxidation of dead bodies to basic chemical compounds, such as gases, ashes and mineral fragments retaining the appearance of dry bone. Cremation may serve as a funeral or post-funeral rite that is an alternative to the interment of an intact dead body in a coffin or casket. Cremated remains, which do not constitute a health risk, may be buried or interred in memorial sites or cemeteries, or they may be retained by relatives and dispersed in various ways. Cremation is not an alternative to a funeral, but rather an alternative to burial or other forms of disposal.
In many countries, cremation is usually done in a crematorium. Some countries, such as India and Nepal, prefer different methods, such as open-air cremation.
HISTORY
ANCIENT
Cremation dates from at least 20,000 years ago in the archaeological record, with the Mungo Lady, the remains of a partly cremated body found at Lake Mungo, Australia.
Alternative death rituals emphasizing one method of disposal of a body - inhumation (burial), cremation, or exposure - have gone through periods of preference throughout history.
In the Middle East and Europe, both burial and cremation are evident in the archaeological record in the Neolithic era. Cultural groups had their own preferences and prohibitions. The ancient Egyptians developed an intricate transmigration of soul theology, which prohibited cremation, and this was adopted widely among other Semitic peoples. The Babylonians, according to Herodotus, embalmed their dead. Early Persians practiced cremation, but this became prohibited during the Zoroastrian Period. Phoenicians practiced both cremation and burial. From the Cycladic civilisation in 3000 BC until the Sub-Mycenaean era in 1200–1100 BC, Greeks practiced inhumation. Cremation appeared around the 12th century BC, constituting a new practice of burial, probably influenced by Anatolia. Until the Christian era, when inhumation again became the only burial practice, both combustion and inhumation had been practiced, depending on the era and location. Romans practiced both, with cremation generally associated with military honors.
In Europe, there are traces of cremation dating to the Early Bronze Age (c. 2000 BC) in the Pannonian Plain and along the middle Danube. The custom becomes dominant throughout Bronze Age Europe with the Urnfield culture (from c. 1300 BC). In the Iron Age, inhumation again becomes more common, but cremation persisted in the Villanovan culture and elsewhere. Homer's account of Patroclus' burial describes cremation with subsequent burial in a tumulus, similar to Urnfield burials, and qualifying as the earliest description of cremation rites. This may be an anachronism, as during Mycenaean times burial was generally preferred, and Homer may have been reflecting the more common use of cremation at the time the Iliad was written, centuries later.
Criticism of burial rites is a common form of aspersion by competing religions and cultures, including the association of cremation with fire sacrifice or human sacrifice.
Hinduism and Jainism are notable for not only allowing but prescribing cremation. Cremation in India is first attested in the Cemetery H culture (from c. 1900 BC), considered the formative stage of Vedic civilization. The Rigveda contains a reference to the emerging practice, in RV 10.15.14, where the forefathers "both cremated (agnidagdhá-) and uncremated (ánagnidagdha-)" are invoked.
Cremation remained common, but not universal, in both Ancient Greece and Ancient Rome. According to Cicero, in Rome, inhumation was considered the more archaic rite, while the most honoured citizens were most typically cremated - especially upper classes and members of imperial families.
Christianity frowned upon cremation, both influenced by the tenets of Judaism and as an attempt to abolish Graeco-Roman pagan rituals. By the 5th century, the practice of cremation had practically disappeared from Europe.
In early Roman Britain, cremation was usual but diminished by the 4th century. It then reappeared in the 5th and 6th centuries during the migration era, when sacrificed animals were sometimes included with the human bodies on the pyre, and the deceased were dressed in costume and with ornaments for the burning. That custom was also very widespread among the Germanic peoples of the northern continental lands from which the Anglo-Saxon migrants are supposed to have been derived, during the same period. These ashes were usually thereafter deposited in a vessel of clay or bronze in an "urn cemetery". The custom again died out with the Christian conversion of the Anglo-Saxons or Early English during the 7th century, when inhumation became general.
MIDDLE AGES
Throughout parts of Europe, cremation was forbidden by law, and even punishable by death if combined with Heathen rites.[6] Cremation was sometimes used by authorities as part of punishment for heretics, and this did not only include burning at the stake. For example, the body of John Wycliff was exhumed years after his death and cremated, with the ashes thrown in a river, explicitly as a posthumous punishment for his denial of the Roman Catholic doctrine of transubstantiation.
On the other hand, mass cremations were often performed out of fear of contagious diseases, such as after a battle, pestilence, or famine. Retributory cremation continued into modern times. For example, after World War II, the bodies of the 12 men convicted of crimes against humanity at the Nuremberg Trials were not returned to their families after execution, but were instead cremated, then disposed of at a secret location as a specific part of a legal process intended to deny their use as a location for any sort of memorial. In Japan, however, erection of a memorial building for many executed war criminals, who were also cremated, was allowed for their remains.
HINDUISM AND OTHER INDIAN ORIGN RELIGIONS
Religions such as Hinduism, Jainism, and Sikhism practice cremation. In Buddhism cremation is acceptable but not mandated. The founder, Shakyamuni Buddha was cremated. For Buddhist spiritual masters who are cremated, one of the results of cremation are the formation of Buddhist relics.
A dead adult Hindu is mourned with a cremation, while a dead child is typically buried. The rite of passage is performed in harmony with the Hindu religious view that the microcosm of all living beings is a reflection of a macrocosm of the universe. The soul (Atman, Brahman) is the essence and immortal that is released at the Antyeshti ritual, but both the body and the universe are vehicles and transitory in various schools of Hinduism. They consist of five elements - air, water, fire, earth and space. The last rite of passage returns the body to the five elements and origins. The roots of this belief are found in the Vedas, for example in the hymns of Rigveda in section 10.16, as follows:
Burn him not up, nor quite consume him, Agni: let not his body or his skin be scattered,
O all possessing Fire, when thou hast matured him, then send him on his way unto the Fathers.
When thou hast made him ready, all possessing Fire, then do thou give him over to the Fathers,
When he attains unto the life that waits him, he shall become subject to the will of gods.
The Sun receive thine eye, the Wind thy Prana (life-principle, breathe); go, as thy merit is, to earth or heaven.
Go, if it be thy lot, unto the waters; go, make thine home in plants with all thy members.
— Rigveda 10.16
The final rites, in case of untimely death of a child, is usually not cremation but a burial. This is rooted in Rig Veda's section 10.18, where the hymns mourn the death of the child, praying to deity Mrityu to "neither harm our girls nor our boys", and pleads the earth to cover, protect the deceased child as a soft wool.
SATI
The act of sati refers to a funeral ritual in which a widowed woman committed suicide on the husband's funeral pyre. While a mention of self-immolation by one of several wives of an Indian king is found in a Greek text on India, along with self-immolation by widows in Russia near Volga, tribes of Thracians in southeast Europe, and some tribes of Tonga and Fiji islands, vast majority of ancient texts do not mention this practice. Rare mentions of such cremations in aristocratic circles appear in texts dated to be before the 9th century AD, where the widow of a king had the choice to burn with him or abstain. Ancient texts of Hinduism make no mention of Sati; its early medieval era texts forbid it, while post 10th century medieval era texts partly justify it and criticize the practice. The practice of sati, grew after 1000 CE, becoming a particularly significant practice by Hindus in India during the Islamic wars of conquest in South Asia.
This practice was made illegal in 1829 during the British colonial rule of India. After gaining independence from British colonial era, India passed a series of additional laws. The Indian Sati Prevention Act from 1988 further criminalised any type of aiding, abetting, and glorifying of sati. In modern India, the last known case of Sati was in 1987, by Roop Kanwar in Rajasthan. Her action was found to be a suicide, and it led to the arrest and prosecution of people for failing to act and prevent her suicide during her husband's cremation.
BALI
Balinese Hindu dead are generally buried inside the container for a period of time, which may exceed one month or more, so that the cremation ceremony (Ngaben) can occur on an auspicious day in the Balinese-Javanese Calendar system ("Saka"). Additionally, if the departed was a court servant, member of the court or minor noble, the cremation can be postponed up to several years to coincide with the cremation of their Prince. Balinese funerals are very expensive and the body may be interred until the family can afford it or until there is a group funeral planned by the village or family when costs will be less. The purpose of burying the corpse is for the decay process to consume the fluids of the corpse, which allows for an easier, more rapid and more complete cremation.
ISLAM
Islam strictly forbids cremation. Islam has specific rites for the treatment of the body after death.
