How is your studies going? I think everything is fine and I wish all the very best for your future.
Generally there is a common belief that PHYSICS is the most glamorous of all subjects. I do not actually know why this kind of belief is there. Yes, this subject is developed by some extra-ordinary geniuses who were/are as colourful as the subject but that is true with other subjects as well.
To me it seems at the moment that the subject holds the truth of the creation of this Universe and may be someday we may stand face to face with God. It is the subject that deals with intangible quantities ( force fields ) that resembles Him. This subject takes us to a journey to eternity, it helps us to make our mind like a poet. A poet creates rhythm in his choice of words while a physicist needs to know the rhythm of nature.
In a historic meeting of Rabindranath and Einstein, poet wanted to know about the famous "Relativity". The scientist explained the absoluteness of the speed of light and grossly explained that a particulate matter cannot move with a speed greater than the speed of light; if it has to then it will be converted into light that is energy itself. Then poet asked whether the converse is true or not - if the flow of energy be stopped by some way to create this Materialistic Universe? The scientist at that time could not confirm the converse phenomenon because he has not proven the same.
A poet is not bound by logic. He has written addressing energy as always in motion and vibrating:
If you stop for a moment
Then and then only
This Universe will be created in a flash
Will be filled by stars, planets, mountains... ( Chanchala )
I believe to know Physics make your mind like a poet and justify like a scientist who should only be driven by observation and logical reasoning.
Must admit that even whn i failed to appreciate the mundane calculations and rigors of Physics, shl cherish those long evening classes and the discussions that knew no bounds of a subject..
ReplyDelete'Chanchala' today sent me into a whirlwind of memories, distant memories of evenings long sucked in the vortex of time.. The magic in the Physics tht is beyond my human grasp do still mesmerise me as I sit dwn to wonder its reach as also its vastness. Shall forever be intrigued by the holistic nature of the 'enterprise of knowledge' which 'has not been broken up into fragments By narrow domestic walls' of any regimented study of any subject..
Utopian u myt say, bt nonetheless, its better than a dystopic dream of extreme individual alienation... cheers!! Good blog!!
Thanks for giving your views.
ReplyDeleteYes love and appreciation is more important to know the meaning of our existence in this beautiful nature than a routine regimented approach...
Love is never generated in dystopia. Utopians can be friends...
