Keep it simple

WHy BlOg ? ?

Hmm this question has inspired me to introspect why everyone is blogging these days and also to look at the deeper implications of it . In the mean time I am also becoming a part of this process . So you see inorder to see how it is I have become a part of it . It shows something , many a times or most of the times when you are observing a system and your aim is to come up with an unbiased view , you end up in an opinion which comes from the same system but it comes only after you were a part of it , so the system changed . There is an analog to this , whenever you are trying to observe a system, you need to measure it , inorder to measure it you disturb it , how ? see in a double slit experiment when you needed to observe the electrons you put light and saw them as particles because you disturbed them . So the state of the system here electrons before they were measured was not known . We see that there is an uncertainity associated with everything we try to analyze . There is an analog of uncertainity principle in everything we do . It shows that there is nothing like absolute truth . But the most interesting thing is that all what has been said above if it is true then it contradicts what I said in the previous line . So mathematically the state of this blog is itself undecidable . It shows the fact that we were trying to come up with something definite without an axiom , so it shows that there needs to be some fundamental truth that you got to accept and move on , it can be God , Science anything you like . Isliye kehta hoon itna mat socho keep it simple .

  1. Practice what you preach. Most readers unfamiliar with quantum physics will discard your blog as jargon (it ain't so simple! ;) ). Or maybe you intend your blog to be read by people who match your academic interests.
    Anyway, I loved the post. The way you have intertwined humour and physics to answer the question "Why blog?" is interesting and funny. The fact that if we dwell too much on the reasons, we would ultimately run out of answers and that the question "why blog" therefore has no answer is thought provoking. :)
    However, for a person like you, who is basically scientific reason bound, I suggest you define an axiom for blogging as soon as possible...or else in no time, you're gonna lose interest! ;)
    Nice to see you join the blogging community. Hope you'll enjoy writing! :)
