The Eternal Complexity!

Ahoy Readers!

Since the discovery of particle "resembling" Higgs-Boson at CERN's Large Hadron Collider, the world has not changed its course. The science of everything. People are actually bashing the experiment saying that the same amount of money could been utilized for the "betterment" of "society". I don't give a damn. Scientists need to satisfy their curiosity but the society is just a jibber jabber of sad souls. Moreover, because they haven't studied anything well, they find it difficult to digest science and then digressively talk about how the superior mortals are pouncing upon their hard earned money.

I have a superior respect for the scientists not just because I am a science student, not just because I have always dreamt of being one but because they are the only people who are theoretically and practically applying what they have learned. Below is a poster, which I made for the lesser mortals who haven't even seen how much complex is the entire machine. I am not going to discuss Higgs-Boson (I plan to do it in next post) here. I will try to make you people think about certain pretermit things.

I Made This Poster So That People Can Imagine The Complexity Involved In This Super Giant Experiment. 

Irrational Numbers

When a mathematical process for e.g. 1/3 yields results like 0.33333...the result is called irrational number. To sum up, a number that cannot be expressed in the "a/b" format is called irrational. Now for normal people and even for an exam oriented student, there is as such no significance of the digit after 5 decimal points. True. The result will be 0.33333. Multiply it with 3 again and you will get 0.99999 and then round off to 1. Swell. But if you have a little bit of time to pass and even to spare a little thought, think, where did the smallest part go? When will you get an exact 1? After five 9s? Ten or million 9s? Is it that important? The scientists at CERN, will hurl protons at 99.9999991% speed of light. And NOT at the speed of light. Do you know what does that mean if we hurl anything at the speed of light? Its mass becomes INFINITE. This is the importance of irrational numbers. But the only people bothered about this glitch are the scientists. Check this article here. It is actually a paper. It doesn't answer the question exactly but it does effort to get to it via simplicity. Till then for a layman, the irrational number is nothing but a "compulsory" round off process.

Quantum Mechanics:

Ever since I have read about the de'Broglie and Pauli's exclusion principle, the only thing I could imagine is Bravo! Heisenberg, Bohr and all that people (Einstein and Newton are too great to put here). They have visualized some of the tiniest objects that human mind can imagine. But again who bothers? de Broglie's principle is used for observation of particles at nano-scale. For many people, Einstein's theory is E=mc². They have hardly thought that for each and every massive particle, hurled at a speed near to light, the implications are as huge as either dropping a bomb at Hiroshima and Nagasaki or using 1kg of Uranium-235 instead of polluting environment by burning 1million tonnes of coal. Newton's theory of gravity has also defined friction. Now 99% of times, the fairer sex is involved in accident due to skidding and slipping. Hahaha. No offense. Both of them involve friction. But do we really care. Why our tyres have that grooves and that dude in bike race has smooth tyres? They haven't given it a damn. Quantum mechanics is so powerful that if any research takes place at nano-scale or even at more minute level, the products obtained will be terrifically supreme. Heisenberg's Uncertainty principle is also valid in real life. Either you can masturbate or piss. But you can't have both at the same time. (I might edit this for a better example)

Time:

One of the most beautiful and most confusing parameter in science, spiritualism and even in laymanism is time. No one can define it. What we call time is just a numerical representation. We can't see it, touch it but do feel it when it run out of our hands! Newton tried. He won the battle till 19th century. Einstein tried and now he is winning. 

We people don't think that way. The most difficult thing to feel, describe and define is present. Past, you can define it as the infinitesimal time which just went away. Future is an infinitesimally small time that is what you're going to experience. But present? What is that? Is this what I wrote? But it just passed few seconds ago! Whoa. Fascinating. Einstein defined it. But common man didn't read it. Scientists proved it but who wants to see that? Now let's see this. The GPS device which the brats flaunt in the iPhone or GPS devices are accurately tracked to several millionth part of a second. If the satellite delays even a millisecond in orbiting, there would be a delay of 1 millisecond in providing information in each device. Assuming 1million GPS devices, the delay would mount to few minutes to few days. What would be the use of GPS then? Haah. This is how ISRO, NASA and all the space agencies monitor your life. Similar case can be observed in cellphone. But who gives a damn? Only if the message from your lover doesn't reach on time! L.O.L.

For most of us Time and Time Travel is nothing more than a magazine and a movie. Worst cases. The Terminator Series and Action Replayy (I did a spelling mistake, I guess!)

Computer:

I don't need to tell anything about this invention. This is all that you're reading this post or shopping online or researching genuinely or plagiarizing or watching movies...Actually the uses of Internet and computers are limitless. But we care for that only when we need it. iMac and iPhone aren't derivatives. They are science. Your touchscreen is made of matrix arrangement which has a particular function assigned to be performed when it is touched. Who gives a damn?

I don't think that science has limits. I, at the same time, believe that "religion + science = life". One can't keep of bragging about either of them and degrade the other. If science if tool then religion is a manual. If religion has facts then science is the fact finder. If science is life, religion is air and water. But without life, does water and air can have the importance? I don't think so.

Movie: "Pi" a movie on the life of a mathematician. His discovery and his effort to understand the world. Awesome thriller from Darren Aronofsky!
