Question : Don't be harsh

A Harshad number, or Niven number in a given number base, is an integer that is divisible by the sum of its digits when written in that base. Harshad numbers were defined by D. R. Kaprekar, a mathematician from India. The word "Harshad" comes from the Sanskrit harį¹£a, meaning "great joy". The Niven numbers take their name from Ivan M. Niven from a paper delivered at a conference on number theory in 1997. All integers between zero and n are Harshad numbers in base n.

Using this as your baseline, what is significant about this question.

Question 399: Padon me

Using Varun Rajiv's quote, "left is to the right", 1:2 as 3: X

Id X (the pic is the blank that needs to be filled)
and give the connection between !,2 and 3,X.

And id anythign else you believe you should.

Elaboration:

This is an example of a question Varun Rajiv gave during Ipso Facto, the question was "left is to the right. Give the commercial application'
My question is simple
Pic 1 is related to pic 2
IN the same fashion, pic 3 is related to X ( the unknown), in the world of technology
And current affairs


Clue:
Person in 1: blank in 2
Person's legacy in 3: X

Id Each

QUESTION 395: Caught UNaware



Since the late 1950s,[aerospace engineers have used the term ___X____ when referring to unusual or costly materials, or when theoretically considering a material perfect for their needs in all respects, except that it does not exist. The word ___X_____ may well have been coined in the aerospace industry to refer to materials capable of withstanding the extreme temperatures expected in reentry. Aerospace engineers are frequently tempted to design aircraft which require parts with strength or resilience beyond that of currently available materials.

However, as of 2009, due to a major revolution in a certain sphere, the term ____X____ has shed its engineering endearments for a more contemporary one, and ____X_____ has entered the popular lexicon, although it still bears the same meaning.

Question:

1) Id X
2) What happened in 2009 to cause this term to come into popular usage.
