ABOUT LIFE, FATE AND
BEING ------------------------------------ What
happens in a person's entire life is pre-written. What will happen
tomorrow is already fixed GOD has a plan for everything & all these
sort of talks seems bogus to me.
What
will happen in the future? I believe 3 factor acts in determining the
future.
1.
Genetic structure of a person 2.
Deliberate actions of a person 3.
Environmental Randomness
1.
Genetic structure of a person:- ---------------------------------- I
don't know much of biology. So, I will not spend much time here. But
certain permutations of the neuclic acids within the DNA determines a
persons a persons attire, attitude, strengths, weaknesses altogether. (But
there is a second thought. The structure of the gene is formed by a random
permutation of the neuclic acids. So why we don't add the gene structure
under Environmntal Randomness??) We
are nothing but one among billions of random permutations of
ATGC
2.
Deliberate Action of the person: ----------------------------------- Sometimes we think that our deliberate actions can change our
tomorrow. But that 'may be or may not be true'.
Let
me give you an example:
Let
x is full confident that he will pass an exam. To deliberately change the
future he doesn't even sit in the exam. The future changed? May be or may
not be. Who can say, if he had sat in the exam it might happen that
despite of his confidence he would fail. So the future is not actually
changed. Na?
Similar arguments are there for the Grandfather Paradox.
--> The time traveler will not be able to kill his
grandfather. --> or he will kill his grandfather, will go 'back to the
future' & finds an altogether different life history of his
own.
Environmental Randomness ------------------------------- This
is the most important thing. Each moment we pass through a number of
possibilities (or alternative happenings) Will be or won't be? One of the
many available 'options' happens & the option is 'chosen' at
random.
Often choices lead to bigger events. It's like butterfly flapping
it's wings in one continent leads to cyclone in
another.
That
is that. Some choices are 'laws' because the probability of their
happening is ~100%.
Why
the apple comes down to earth & not goes up? No, not for gravitation
but for the probability of the apple coming down is ~100%. If it went up,
then a corresponding law would be invented.
But
all the random 'choices' of the past leads to a single point --> the
present. So are all these random choices a mere coincidence? A little
change in thousands parameters leads to one conclusion --> no life in
this region of the universe (like age of the universe, value of
Gravitational constant (G), value of cosmological constant, placement of
Jupiter etc) . So, 'we are here' this fact is outcome of some
coincidences?
Well, here I would like to mention the weaker form of anthropic
principle.
Weak anthropic principle (WAP):
"The observed values of all physical
and cosmological quantities are not equally probable but they take on
values restricted by the requirement that there exist sites where
carbon-based life can evolve and by the requirements that the Universe be
old enough for it to have already done
so." -------------------------------------------------------------------------- These are my random thoughts. I know
you differ. Please post your arguments in comments
