Intelligent Illusions..(contd)...!!!

             Hello again, Well, After all that perception of time and the good reviews I got from you guys, It is no wonder that it propels me to go further, bring out more of my thoughts after all I am just leaving them to be played by some electrons of silicon in some flip-flop of some chip in the mighty binary world out there. So let’s get on with it, this time, let us see what is the other sensational thing that bewilders us all the time. There are two things that have always fascinated me, Time and Light. I said about time and now let’s see Light.

               
                What is Light? What is darkness? Is there a thing called darkness or is it just an absence of Light? Is it only the light which brings luminescence? We feel it because light brings luminescence to us but is it the same for the entire living beings of universe? Definately not. We humans are receptive to light. We see what light shows us. But in physics, it is just a radiation with a certain frequency in the electromagnetic spectrum for which we are sensitive. May be other living beings in this earth or may be in some other planet may not be sensitive to light, they might be sensitive to x-rays or some other ray for that matter. It gets murkier the more I say about it.

         
             Let us see somewhere else now, Have you guys ever thought about the light travelling in the cosmos with certain speed and then it reaches us and we see the things around us. It takes 8 minutes for the light to reach from sun to earth. But does that mean we are seeing an 8 minutes older sun when it reaches our eyes? Does light carry time also with it? I mean to say if it is taking 8 minutes to travel from there to here? Is it just bringing the bringing the luminescence or the photograph of the present sun or the eight minute older one? The best definition for the light so far is that they are just packets of energy. But is that definition satisfactory enough? Let us try to discuss both the possibilities. First, Let us assume it is bringing the photograph of an 8 minutes older one that means all the stars which are from the other galaxies which we see in the night might be existing today or not because we are seeing a million year older stars, Isn’t it?

             
                 Well let us consider the other possibility too, may be it has taken so much time to come here but once it has reached our eye, it will bring luminescence of the present time there. Is it? Is Light the tunnel or the window to see that distant object? If it is true, then it feels to me that it is false too because let us assume it is tunnel which once reaches our eye will let us look at the present state of the star. Let’s for example assume some change happens there then that change can only be seen after a million years because that particular light needs a millions years to come from there to here? Isn’t it mind freaking if you think like this? To be honest, it freaks me out too.

                  After having a deep thought on this, My conclusion is that light carries time with it and we cant see what is happening now unless we wait for that time to reach us.

               
                  One more thing to say about light (a bit philosophical one), we human beings are the only creatures on this planet being privileged with the sight which no other creature has. That is only humans can see this colorful world. It is a different world for each creature here. For cows, it is only black and white and shades of these, For snakes it is infrared vision, For hyenas it is dim colors all together. So be gracious to God for allowing us see the world in all these vibrant colors we can see. Be gracious to be human and enjoy the Colorful world in the right way. There you go guys, Now it’s your job to give reviews on this blog so that I can write one more blog something like this or something else…!!!

Intelligent Illusions...!!!

I have been thinking of lately about what would be my next blog after all those school memories I had to share with you guys. Of course I still have a lot to share about the next part of my life in Dharwad and then in Bangalore. Anyway Lets have a break from the usual storytelling and let’s see something else, which would slightly give a jerk from the usual day to day normal life. I am calling this blog as Intelligent Illusions because they are intelligent considering the day to day normal life and illusions because I am not sure of what I am saying as usual the bifacial symphony is being played here too.

Now, let’s think of the TIME for a while. What do we generally feel about time? Is it an entity? Does it have a physical existence? Or does it have anything to do with the objects which have mass? We even didn’t know it is one more dimension until the “integral of our minds” Albert showed us the way. So let us answer questions one by one. I feel nothing about time because it doesn’t make me feel or is that so? Lets us take that part in a while. Now second one, is it an entity? Yes it is. It has been proved satisfactorily that it is an entity. Does it have a physical existence? Hmmm that is difficult to answer because it has existence but not physically. Then in what way does it exist? Hmmm honestly I don’t know. And does it have anything to do with objects of mass? Definitely yes. But how? It doesn’t have physical existence but it has a way of interacting with physical objects. How is that possible? Let us leave that question to scientists.

You guys might be wondering already that I am going to write some hi-fi stuff about Albert’s Relativity and space-time theory. Hmmm I am tempted to write but NO. Let us keep it for one more blog. Then what am I writing here if it not relativity? Of course it is relativity, but rather in my own way of looking at it. It says something about physics, common sense and some chemical reactions of my nerve cells which brought out these thoughts.

                So we all know that Einstein’s theory explains time is relative to the mass and gravitational pull of the objects in the cosmos and basically time gets bent in the space anyway let us not go into it. Let us imagine we are all common house flies now. Now time is six times slower than what we would have felt if we were humans and again let us imagine we are all turtles for now and again we feel time is moving three times faster than what we would have felt as humans. In simple words, time is percepted by different species in different ways. We as humans can only perceive at the least one by third of a second or so. Basically, that is the unit of time for us (humans).But for Flies it is much smaller unit and for turtles the unit is much bigger. That means all the organisms are living in their different time zones or we can say we are living different relative worlds within this same planet just because our perceptions of time is different. If this is so, then what is absolute time? Or is time altogether a relative entity? Now let us try to explain what is meant this relative entity….Let’s think of our life time which is about 70 years or so. We generally are able to feel the years went past in our life time. So it is 70 years for us. But for a house-fly it is 30 days but it is relative to our perception of time. But how much time it might be for a house fly? How much time they might have felt in their life time? Hmmm let’s leave that question to house flies itself. In the same way turtles live up to 200 years but it is again relative to our perception of time. What time they might have felt to have gone past in their life time is related to their basic perceptionary unit of time.

                In simple words, we are living in different worlds in this very same world. Time is playing different games in each of our lives and no wonder it is like living illusions in the absoluteness. Probably this is what Albert meant when he said it feels like an hour when we sit on hot pan for 2 minutes and it feels like a minute even though we talk for an hour with a pretty girl. It is all related with our perceptions of time. So if we guys can somehow find a way to increase or decrease our perceptionary senses then we might observe a different world each time or in other words probably we can start travelling through time.

                Now that’s an immature statement I made there. Anyway this is also a way of looking at our lives and alongside this; I have couple of other intriguing rather mind freaking thoughts which I would post based on the reviews of this blog. This is also a tribute to Albert on his birthday from one of his all time fans – Shashank.K.D.
