Random - Thoughts 4 - Life

I was in a state of total confusion. I didn't know what i was confused about. But i just knew that i didn't feel right. So i thought of taking a walk to the MC (actually the main purpose of the walk was to fill my bottle with water from C hostel). My two friends came with me. Well, i like to discuss philosophy-like things with others (especially when i am in a dull mood). So, i asked them what their views about life was. I asked them what was the purpose of their lives. Here are their views:
Friend A told that he felt that there was no special purpose for his or anyones life. That we should life to our fullest in the best possible manner and always be happy(good point i thought). He also said that he didn't believe in an afterlife or anything like that. Once you are dead, you do not exist. Thats it. The End.
Friend B had told me on an earlier occasion that he lived to eat. He didn't want to express his true view. Maybe he was not sure. (I promise to ask him this question later and report his answer here). But he was sure about one thing. He said that he didn't believe in an afterlife and also didn't believe in the condition or situation of not having an afterlife. Now that is how one should be sure of things!

My Theories - 2 - Achilles and the tortoise paradox solution

Now i am going to use this platform to give my solution to the famous Achilles and the tortoise paradox(learn more). Well my solution is like this: As Achilles approaches nearer the tortoise because of his greater speed and as the distances between their body molecules becomes microscopic, the laws of quantum physics come into play( Of-course these laws are always true but they are observable only when the subjects or the measurements to be taken are in the microscopic order). So i hope everyone must have heard about the Tunneling Effect. Well, I have studied it and it is something like this: there is a probability that a particle can jump out of a well of infinite height even though it doesn't have sufficient energy. Because of its wave nature it can exist on both sides of the well. Here i am going to improvise the theory of Tunneling Effect. The particle which has greater speed will have more probability( probability directly proportional to some high power of speed) to be in front when there is only  microscopic distances between the two particles (by the corollary of the improvised Tunneling Effect). So slowly and steadily (for humans the phenomenon takes place extremely fast) the molecules of Achilles come in front of the molecules of the tortoise and voila Achilles overtakes it!
Thus the paradox for the day is solved.

Random - Thoughts 3

Hi to whoever is reading this. It is only the third day of my blogging life and i am sitting in front of the computer hoping to get some thing to write down. I am supposed to write what comes into my mind at the time , right? But sometimes when you think like that and wait for something to come to your mind nothing comes at all. I found it truly amazing. When i thought what to write down my mind was drained of all thoughts and ideas. Is this the mind playing games with us ? Don't we have full control of our own minds? Many a time i find it very difficult to control my thought train. The mind takes us to many places at such blistering speeds without our full consent. I doubt if there is any person in the world who can control and limit his thoughts perfectly whenever he wants to. Anyways this is all i can think for todays post. Thus THE END.

My theories - 1 - Theory Of Nothingness

Here i present some of my theories about the cosmos and stuff. I have been mocked by others for expressing my ideas but one of my friends (my roommate to be precise) told that similar theories have been proposed by others (yay!). That gave me new hope. There are people who will appreciate some radical (it may be nonsense but still!) thinking. So here goes nothing:
Theory Of Nothingness:
The situation in which nothing exists is not possible. Thus things exist.
It is not even possible for us to imagine a state of nothingness. The impossibility to imagine such a state is not valid proof for my theory but humans make theories on the basis of the things they can observe or atleast imagine. Thus my theory has enough credibility to be atleast presented.

Random- Random thoughts 2-Life

So the random thought for the day is... I don't have a random thought ready to type in. Lack of thoughts. But you always think of something. It is almost mot possible to think of nothing. Even when you sleep you see dreams and therefore think. My theory is that a person sees a dream each and every night. Maybe only sometimes he remembers that he has seen a dream. Maybe we live two lives in two different dimensions and both are somehow connected. Maybe when we are awake  it is one life and when we sleep we are actually living another life. Maybe the dreams we see have some relation to this other life. This theory may seem similar to the theories of The Matrix or Avatar but i assure the reader that i have not copied it from any of these sources. Maybe i must have been inspired by them or all the science fiction type cartoons that i have seen.
The 13th Floor also has a very good concept as its central idea. That we are all living in a virtual world controlled by a player in the real world or we may be some digital creation made by a supercomputer. Maybe like the concept in Inception our lives are just dreams and we may wake up when we die!!

Random - really random 1

I really write to type random thoughts that come into my mind when i am typing. It lets me type fast without thinking much and thus i feel proud that i can type fast. After typing the previous sentence i noticed that there was one mistake(not too bad ) in it and it was simply a plain sentence written like some small kid writes and before finishing this sentence i noticed that there were multiple mistakes in it and possibly many grammatical errors. But i don't mind or maybe i am helpless. Because humans make mistakes :'To err is human'.Right?
I hope everyone who reads this agrees to the points i have made and i hope someone reads this.
But is getting attention the purpose of creation of this blog? I don't think so. I think this particular blog was created so that i could satisfy my desire to simply publish my random thoughts by typing in as fast as i could and by thinking as least as possible and the desire to create a blog. After all we are living in the information age and being a computer science student i thought it is necessary to atleast try to create a blog.
Today is the day i have created this blog and i was a bit surprised to see that they (google) provided html features and functionality to fellows who wanted to create a blog. I mean i thought the usual blogs were simply a series of updates in the form of text. The information world is evolving so fast.

Random- Philosophy


I always used to admire the guys who were like mini philosophers. I still admire their philosophical minds. Talking philosophy with these guys is simply great. I often talk with three such guys. One fellow is a hardcore philosopher. Another one is like 'I-make-my own-philosophical-notions-that suits-me' type of guy. But after analysing him further i think that he has some philosophy embedded in his soul after all. The third guy is somewhat in between the first two guys. But i will say that he has the least bit of philosophy in him. Too bad that philosophy is such a big word. It s hard typing it repeatedly . Anyways the third guy shared some of his views and i would like to share one of them here: You will be alone at the end and beginning of your life.

My diary 1

Today is(i am still confused whether to use 'is' or 'was') the second day i tried to set up an adhoc network in our room without any success. But in the quest to set it up i ended up connecting to somebody else's network which was not secured (thank you!) and thus our problem was sort of solved. But i wanted to set up one myself and decided that giving up on such a simple thing is not what i should do. So i set this task's completion deadline to a future date.

Origin


Today we were sitting simply in lab and had a computer with net access in front of us. We had nothing to do. I thought of a guy in our class who was rumoured to know how to type in without looking into the keyboard. But the source from which i heard this was reliable so i decided that it is not a rumour but REALITY. I then thought whether i could do the same and tried. But i couldn't do it. But i could almost type properly without looking onto the screen. I decided both were equivalent and thus declared myself to be equal to the other guy in typing skills.
In the process of testing my skills i found that i had created a large para of random and abstract sentences in the text editor i was using. Thus the idea of 'Why not try blogging!!' was born in my mind.
