ILLusions

If proof is what we must rely on, then, there is only me - that exists. Nothing else can be believed to be real, for one can not tell what one has not truly experienced.

The "sharing" problem

It's not enough to be happy. In addition, someone else must know that you are happy.

Sadness is likewise.

True Vision

In an unknown world, 'being doubtful' is how we see; 'being certain' is how we go blind.

Power of loneliness

Intense loneliness is a source of power - seldom appreciated, for its merit. When used properly, it can connect us to our true selves.

A Letter to me

"Yes, you can do it. In fact, you can do far better than this. How could you forget you are so special? Clean the rust, gold is inside, let it come to the surface, and it will shine on its own.

You've some very extra-ordinary qualities and you know that very well, better than anyone else. You may have spent some time of your life in less than optimal fashion, but it's not over yet. Life is a big game, you havn't played the whole part of it. There are so many aspects of life, you havnt explored yet.

What you need is a focussed goal and a plan. That's all.
How come? A focussed goal will ensure you will maintain the required level of energy and enthusiasm all through. A good plan will get the results faster and with more certainty.

Problems? You let your mind scatter a bit more than you should. Remember as I said, its mostly about being focussed. You can't do everything completely, but you can surely do the most important things.

You know, what's best in you? You "understand", a rare quality. You can become so impartial and objective, few else could do that and with such consistency as you do. You have phenomenal power of understanding things, getting to the basics, extracting the underlying skeleton of everything and make rest of the details from that. Yes, some others probably could have this quality as well. But I bet, very few has the accuracy that you possess. You are simply phenomenal, nothing short of it. With the level of understanding power you have, you can get to a state of achievement, even you could probably not guess, let alone others. So, don't let those others take away this unique true feelings from you. It's yours! It's the truth! And it will make a difference, if you only, believe in yourself, which I think you surely do.

A grand Success is in order. Just keep it up, as you did!"

Ethics in Nature

The questions of ethics get quickly surpassed by the scope of scientific advancement. It's one thing how we define right & wrong, and it's an entirely different ballgame, how nature decides. For the time being nature is concurring with the unprecedented development of human knowledge through science. So, no matter how evil a scientific achievement might seem at first, as long as it is a concrete move forward from the current, it will be rejoiced with complacency, sooner or later. ‘Cloning’ however is only one such move forward, resisting which could only delay the practice, not the discovery itself.

Philosophical or Scientific

..Actually when we start fabricating these apparently fantastic visions, we have a notion that very few people are thinking as deep as me. This misconception continues until the mind matures and finds that: it's very easy to get lost in the realm of philosophy with complex explanations and unanswerable questions, but almost impossible to conclude with concrete scientific results which you can present to convince others also, rather than just fantasizing yourself. So, although it might seem counter intuitive; is nevertheless true that, far many people love to sink in philosophy and loiter about indefinitely, than devoting to find some small, not too radical but clean scientific results.

How small, exactly?

I knew we live in a small world. But didn't know we dream in a small world, too.

The Folds

In the very beginning of the early universe, there existed only the set of few basic rules applied on some formation of energy. With the course of time, the rules shaped and reshaped the outcome again and again with applying the same set of rules recursively. After numberless application of this recursive progression, the initial rules are well-hidden in the complex effect of an aged universe. This is why finding rules are like unfolding the truth, which only uncovers a more deeply covered, untouched truth.

The Hidden

That every human being goes through some kind of loneliness in his/her life is more or less an accepted reality. But, in the midst of everyone, with no time to spare for leisure, can you think of a loneliness that could exist? No, perhaps But try to think of such desolateness; whatever the surroundings might be, one is still lonely in ones thoughts and desires, although it may not be apparent even to the self itself at first glance.

Life's greatest lessons

Everybody has limitations, lacking. It is not about being the complete, it’s mostly about being capable of realizing this very fact that self also is incomplete, has limitations and will never correctly measure one’s own ignorance.

Beauty of randomness

There is something in us that resists complete regularity. That’s why we love to see the nature, which displays more irregularity than man made things. Like tree, if it had been something very regular, we would feel bored very soon.

Think about grass for instance. And compare it with some regular texture. Surely you would not like to see the earth covered with some textures instead of grasses.

The transient memory problem:

Memory is an essential part of self awareness. You constantly remember the fact that you exist, to exist.

..Something that is not part of our memory is not part of us. We are nothing but a collection of memory.

The Original Questions

1. Is there a Beginning of everything

2. Can we completely know anything, without having to know everything? In other words, is there only one original question or more?

3. Is there choice? Was there choice?

4. Is there (true) randomness? [The qualifier 'true' is used, because, in applied mathematics, randomness is actually replaced with pseudo-randomness]

5. What is life?

6. How is one life unique from the others?

7. Can mathematics be broken?

8. Is Mathematics Complete? Alternatively, is mathematics sufficient?

9. Can we (created beings) ever know (anything)? Or is it that belief is the best we can do?

10. Even if we accept there are rules; who is to enforce it?

11. Randomness or Order which one is the most basic.../ when nothing else was there, was there randomnes, or order...

Is Faith Without Reason?

Even in topics like religion and faith, one can’t escape the inevitable involvement of rationality. Because without any sort of reasoning, it would be a total chaos, which can not be palatable even for faith. Every view originates and develops using some sort of logic or rational, be it easy to express or not.

Abyss

Our existence is perhaps the best example of infinity bounded by the finites. Such insignificant life span, yet burdened with emotions, overflowing even the limitless abyss.

problems with fundamental mathematics

the most basic postulates may be very wrong. Along the correct path there are always infinite combinations of partially correct paths. So we must be in one such path and there are always room for more perfectness.

That way we can never reach the perfect construction of logic, (as it implies from the fact that there is perhaps no perfect logic). Nature seems to me very much in denail with precision in the micro level. This might well be the case with mathematics, which in today's world we still hope and know it as a perfect knowledge.

But this does not mean total chaos or uncertainty. The direction towards correctness is probably correct, or at least it's reachable in theory. But the exact path or the point of destination can not be known or found with any single consistent set of mathematical theories. Nature prefers superposition of many related theories resulting into a fuzzy world of choice and micro randmoness, over a consistent single set of logics. It's all about intermixing and overlapping. The basic rules are forever hidden because of their interactions. We perhaps, can not unwind these rules into the basic constitutes, but only approximate one by losing the remaining ones proportionately.

I will be surprised if any of the infinities is not related with some sort of spherical construction from the geometric perspective.

On Cantor's Diagonal argument

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cantor%27s_diagonal_argument :

these are the kinds of sets with grows with 'holes'. it's not they don't have enough elements in the end (as there is no end), but because they don't have enough 'densities'. the notion of size (cantor) is more a measure of density than of total size. That is to say, all infinities must have same cardinalities (which is in viloation with current understanding). Some infinities grow faster in bounded region than others, which should make no difference in the total size.
This can be shown by rearranging the infinite list of the infinite sequences. If we start with
1. 0 followed by infinite 0s
2. 0, followed by infinite 1s
3. 1, followed by infinite 0's
4. 1, followed by infinite 1's
5. 0,1, followed by infinite 0's
6. 0,1, followed by infinite 1's
7. ....
all binary possiblities of n digits, infinite 0'sall binary possiblities of n digits, infinite 1's
and the reverse of each sequence,

we will get a countable infinite set of infinite sequences. This disproves Cantors diagonal argument for showing there is an uncountable set

On the Paradox of entailment

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paradox_of_entailment

I think the intuition behind the existence of this paradox is following. The premises are contradictory. This is only possible in the 'mother-universe' which is not consistent, in which all self consistent but mutually exclusive logical systems can persist. Thus the premises take us into that mother world where everything is vacuously true. So the conclusion achieved is actually, after all, a meaningful one.
