What is real? How do we know what we know?

Two galaxies collide in a far off part of the universe resulting in violent collisions on a scale that is quite simply unimaginable to the human mind. Does anybody care? Nobody except maybe a few astronomers.

A hot meteorite falls into a remote part of an ocean, and kills 10,000 fishes, and millions of microbial life forms. Is any human bothered by it? Not likely.A brick falls from a building and injures a woman. Suddenly, everybody has an opinion about it, and even newspapers may report on the event.Life cares about survival before it cares about reality. The magnitude of importance to life of an event is quite different from the magnitude of the event.And that point makes living forms inherently biased in their study of nature and natural phenomena. Living forms may tend to even personalize nature - attributing to nature the same feelings which they have. Just like people used to believe that Earth was the center of universe and all other stars and planets moved around Earth, one of the fundamental instincts of living forms is to believe that the universe exists for them because they are alive to observe it. That instinct is the source of great pleasures when conditions of survival improve for a life form, and the source of great fears when such conditions deteriorate.Either way, looking at reality becomes impossible for living forms. To observe nature in its true form, it appears, one has to stop caring about anything. And yet survive to make the observations. Quite a feat, if someone can accomplish it successfully. The observer-observed link has quite interesting aspects in Quantum physics - such as the Schrödinger's Cat, or the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle.

So, we come to the important question from the last post: How do we know reality? The truthful answer is that we really don't. We only build models of reality and then carry out experiments to test the validity of those models. That is all that we can do. Some people believe that coherence of various unrelated models should be evidence of the possibility that a bigger/deeper model can be constructed, which will subsume all the smaller scale models. That is, for the most part, what we call the pursuit of science. So, first we build a crude model, then we define its parameters (variables), then we test the model for success or failure, and after all this comes analysis, which gives us ideas about how to refine / reshape the original model of reality of a phenomena which we are interested in. Our approach to reality, therefore, is like a tangent trying to study a circle - the two may intersect, but the linear tangent will never know the reality of curved lines.Unless a mind comes along which, for one reason or another, can do this modeling and refinement at speeds far faster than those of ordinary people. Such minds, called 'great' minds if they can articulate their perceptions well even mathematically, may even possess non-linear instincts which can relate better to the non-linear nature rather than to the linear thinking people around them. Solitude and silence attract such minds, while the linearly thinking people seem to aggregate in societies and build economies. Great minds could be mutually incoherent, while linear minds fall in step with each other.It may be true that we need both kinds of people to run this world well.Or to defend it against threats.

New Ten rupee coin of India

Its realised and now you can have it on your pocket!RBI is ready to issue a new bimetallic 10 Rupee coin for circulation.
The look: The obverse side has the lion capitol with numeral 10 and year of manufacture. On reverse side, a double line cross with a dot in each pellet of cross and denomination written in Hindi and English around. This design has been prepaed by National Institute of Design, Ahmedabad with the theme of Unity in Diversity. The outer side metal is Nickel-Bronze and the inner side metal is Ferrous Steel. The weight of the coin would be 8 grams and the diameter would be 28 mm.The coins are being minted at mainly Noida and Mumbai mint. The coins worth Rs.70 million was already stored in its stock till August 2008 .

Happy Baisakhi(13/04/2009)

Baisakhi Festival falls on April 13th or April 14th and marks the beginning of the solar year. People of North India, particularly Punjab thank God for good harvest. Visit to Gurudwaras, Vaisakhi processions and traditional performances are the highlights of the day. Baisakhi has special significance for Sikhs as on this day in 1699, their tenth Guru Gobind Singh Ji organized the order of the Khalsa.

Aam hai kya

Here is the Fwd. want to share

"Aam hai kya??"

A parrot goes to a shopkeeper and asks ... 'Aam hai kya?'

The shopkeeper says ... 'Nahi. Hum Aam nahi bejte.'

Next day at the same time, the parrot goes again and asks him ...'Aam hai kya ?'

He gets a little irritated and says... 'Aare Bola na, Hum 'Aam nahiBechte'

On the third day, the parrot goes again and asks him 'Aam hai kya ?'

He gets wild and yells ...'Bola na naahi. Abhi vapas aaya to hathodamarungasar ke upar'

The next day,the parrot comes again and asks him ..'hathoda hai kya ?'

The shopkeeper says ... 'Nahi'

The parrot then asks ... 'Aam hai kya ?'

The next day parrot again goes to shopkeeper and asks"Aam hai kya??"

The shopkeeper is ready now....He quickly pulls a hammer and hitz the parrot on the face.

The parrot looses all his teeth, but determined, parrot again goes to the shopkeeper next day n asks"AAM KA JUICE HAI KYA???"

MANTHAN - Churn the Ocean of your Knowledge

MANTHAN

A society which provides the platform for students to come forward & explore their ability in various fields of chemical engineering. Manthan organize various events related to chemical engineering not only in Technova(technical fest. of our university) but throughout the academic year. Members of this society are competitive, creative & dedicated enough to bring out the hidden talent of students through these events. For achieving the aim, plenary sessions are held every week, where future plans are discussed. Not only members but all students of the university are heartily welcome to give any kind of suggestion, new idea which can lead us to our aim. We appreciate the participation of students in making the society a success.

On Mahavir Jyanti, Jains celebrate the birthday of the 24th as well as the last Tirthankara and the founder of Jainism, Vardhman Mahavir Ji.

Lord “Mahaveer” is the Symbol of Peace. Live and Let Live was his slogan. We should always follow it, we should take such a inspiration on this day. Come on, and celebrate this day as a day of non violence.

Do not get up early in the morning

Here is the Fwd. mail, want to share....



One day a fisherman got up very early in the morning.

There was not enough sunlight to get into the sea.

He saw a pack of stones to pass time.

He started throwing the stone into the sea.

While having the last stone in the hand,

the sun came up then he saw that the stone was a diamond.

He felt for his misfortune of throwing all of them into the sea...

Moral of the story:

************************

Do not get up early in the morning... :)) :))
