PS: it was supposed to be my birthday blogpost
I have noticed that even people who claim everything is predetermined and that we can do nothing to change it look before they cross the road. ... (Stephen Hawking)
There is a well known concept in physics called the uncertainty principle, it prohibits us know and predict the future perfectly. At a first look it appears to be a depressing limitation for many people but on a closer look isn’t it great that nothing is predetermined? Isn’t that what makes our life so interesting and worth living for. Predictability is good but spontaneity is what you call “Fcuking awesome”.
I have turned 22, I have been smart and I have been foolish, I have loved and I don’t know whether I was loved back , and I am graduating this summer given I don’t fail any courses (yes you can call me a cynic, I don’t give a damn). I have been finicky about many things over the last 5 years but now that I am so close to leaving this place, I am starting to think that it couldn’t have been more fun, I mean , how many physics grads get to shoot a gun and watch scenes from The Devil’s Advocate on a big screen as a part of their curriculum.
Like many of my friends I didn’t have a plan when I came here and likewise I developed a few as time passed . Unlike most of my friends however, I never felt confident about those plans, something which had it pros and cons. I have made some choices which may have appalled a few but one day they will come to understand that the seeds of those had been there from the start, it was an avalanche in waiting, all it needed was a little push. All I can say is that nothing is random , what we call random behavior has it roots in some unfathomable facts.I was taught a course called Non Linear Dynamics and somehow it makes more sense these days than it did before.
When I was little I watched a TV show called Recess, there was a group kids and they had a character called Spinelli, and in one episode they show her uncertainty about her future... I think it’s better you watch the episode( it’s a 10 min clip)
