Astrologique

•August 7, 2009 • 2 Comments

In the previous post on the Golden Thread, the discussions led to astrology. Now, in no way do I support the concept of astrology. Sure, I claim there is a link from the way every object behaves somewhere, to an event (or a series of events) that take place elsewhere.

Likewise in principle, planets, stars and other celestial bodies could affect the way we live, and affect the environment around us! That follows from the Butterfly theory — which I have stated too many times on this blog I won’t be using the word again — that motion and interactions of such large objects are bound to influence the worldly functioning somehow and all the time. It’s just that, exactly how they affect, and when will they take effect, cannot be known.

The Uncertainity Principle

•July 4, 2009 • 2 Comments

I am fascinated by the linking between the atomic world and the universe, as discussed in the previous post. For long I’ve been trying to quantify the linkage with some strong quantifiable connections. I set out to prove Heisenberg’s Uncertainity Principle (which is very evident on the small scale – but largely insignificant on the astronomic level) using the Infinitely Flat Spheres hypothesis, because they seem similar.

This is a derivation of Heisenberg’s Uncertainity Principle.

I daresay the derivation is approximate. Surely there must be some inaccuracy in the procedure I follow, and I welcome critics to analyze the procedure. Nonetheless, it does lead to some conclusive result.

Atomic Universe

•July 1, 2009 • 5 Comments

Nearly every student of science has noticed the remarkable similarities between the classroom model of the atom and what we call a Solar System. The atom’s nucleus is analogous to the Sun, while the revolving electrons resemble the planets in their various orbits.

I think it is not futile to attempt a correlation between the two different aspects of everything that is. At one end, we have the entire vastness of the unfathomable universe (or even beyond). On the other end, the miniscule fuzzy constituents of everything that we know and see. So close, yet so far.

Michael Jackson Effect

•June 27, 2009 • 5 Comments

The life and lies of Michael Jackson highlight some stark faces of what is called the “public.” It is a complete organism of its own, replete with its own choices, beliefs and set of governing laws.

When Michael Jackson was at the peak of his musical career, he boasted millions as his fan-base. His prowess and quick rise up the social ladder could be viewed as deserving and well earned. But the world did not comprise billions, then. It had two people: Jackson, and the rest of the world, collectively the “public.”

Behavioural Evolution

•June 26, 2009 • 8 Comments

There are two types of ways a person can choose to improve their personalities, pick up new characteristics, learn new stuff etc. It is either Adaptive, or Selective. While one is evolutionary based on Darwin’s definitions, the other is more towards Lamarck’s.

Simply put, a Selective person when confronted with new developments or requirements to change, will analyse the impact of picking up the new characteristic, or modifying a behavioural trait. Examples of such change are new pieces of knowledge, new events in a relationship etc. When presented with a new piece of information, they will make sure that piece of information is credible and correct, before picking it up. If one reports to them that their house is destroyed, they will ensure that the information is correct before acting upon it.

Transfunctions

•June 24, 2009 • Leave a Comment

A transfunction is a special three dimensional mathematical representation of a two dimensional region in the Cartesian coordinates. It is useful in a variety of ways, but it is principally a technique of representing 2D regions enclosed by two functions as a single function of the variable x, and another third dimension “chooser” variable µ.

Suppose there are two functions f(x) and g(x) in the 2D plane. To represent the region enclosed within these two curves, one defines the transfunction as:

y = f(x) + µ ( g(x) – f(x) )

Continuum Machine

•June 22, 2009 • 6 Comments

Regular time machines are blatantly ridiculous: you decide to go back in time. In the era of Einstein’s relativity and up to 11 dimensions in day-to-day discussions, do you still talk time machine?

According to established ideologies of the functioning of the time machine, not only do we go back in time, if we set the machine to a past date, we also find that the entire universe has miraculously adjusted its space coordinates to perfectly match the way they were at that time! We all know (if you don’t, you do now) that time is not the independent sentient entity. It is just another dimension, as are the regular x, y and z coordinates.

The Golden Thread

•June 20, 2009 • 13 Comments

“There is one great truth on this planet: whoever you are, or whatever it is that you do, when you really want something, its because that desire originated in the soul of the universe. Its your mission on earth.”

When you look at a bowl of jelly (solid, chilled, wobbly but consistent – delicious), it looks like a single solid object. Yet, if you touch it, it wobbles. If you throw a stone at a pond, the ripples spread; they cover every inch of the water, return or redirect, and go haywire, continuing to disrupt the entire pond for a quite a while.

Our world behaves no differently. If you stop and consider, you feel that you are linked to others in this universe. People, trees, birds, even stones and the wind. We are one, everyone and everything that’s on this Earth. Whatever you do, somehow, and sometime, influences these other inhabitants of the world. Maybe even the universe, in the grand scale of things.

Infinitely Flat Spheres

•June 19, 2009 • 7 Comments

Applying a little approximation, it is straight-forward that a circle with a very large radius, will apear as a straight line to a tiny point on its circumference. For instance, an ant on a circular race track will never see the ends of the line it marches on — it’ll all appear as an infinitely long straight line.

To mathematically justify this, simply approximate the equation of a circle at the x-axis. Considering a circle centred at the origin of the Cartesian coordinates, with a radius r. It’s equation is:

Theory of Construction, and Wizardry!

•June 17, 2009 • 4 Comments

I have always been very fond of calculus. Since ages, I have desired and attempted to create my own such transformations for mathematical functions. Here’s one that has survived for a while longer than every other attempt, so far (which means it is quite credible and interesting!)

Concept
The theory states that every object can be thought of as composed of a collection of individual components. No, no, no! That’s not really obvious! I’m actually talking in mathematical terms.
