WHAT IS THE DESTINY OF THE HUMANITY

     


   Earth is conducive for life and intelligent life is evolved on the earth.  Any intelligent life will think, why we are here? Where we are heading? What is the purpose of our existence?  Let us search for the answers.

    We, human beings invented and contributed in arts, literature, science and engineering.  The language I am writing is the pure invention of mankind.  We made our life as comfortable as possible { or as complicated as possible}.  In future, we may conquer all diseases; may live longer; may create designer babies; may create vegetation of our like; may teleport our selves; may colonize mars; may go beyond solar system; in short, we may play god.  

    That is all okay.  But what is our destination?  Is there any super force moving the humanity towards a predetermined destiny?  Are we going to wiped out with all our knowledge, when the sun dies and the solar system disintegrates?  

     The long time hard work of humanity will not go waste and our works will not end in fire.  The human journey will go on or will reach a proper destination which is the great enigma for now.  

     The human life is like a relay race.  A young man runs with relay stick for some distance and hands it over to another youth and retires from the ground.  We must live our life well and to the fullest.  Then we must hand over our knowledge, wisdom, properties and innovations to the next generation.  Then we retire.  

     Live in present .  Future will take care of itself.  

     Individual,  society and humanity may have lofty goals.  But enjoy your daily little and cute wishes that keeps us going.

     So enjoy that train journey sitting by the window; hearing popular melody and tasting the fried green tomatoes at the whistle-stop cafe.

  1. Well said sir.

    Human lifespan is too short to meddle our present into a future which is millions of years distant to us.

    But, as said in Space oddessey, we will evolve ourselves into just mind, the matter would become obsolete to our existence. We can see the progress of science and technology, how devices are becoming smaller and minutive. Body organs are starting to get replaced machines. If everything is replaced by machines except for our mind, then won't we be only in a world of pure consciousness, where matter actually won't matter to us. I think that would be a beginning of immortality.

    But again, that's a hypothesis and wishful thinking to entertain our nimble minds.

THE EARTH, A SUPER ORGANISM

     JOIN MY COURSE: "Become a programmer in a day with python"       A man called 'love lock' (what a name) proposed a theory called Gaia theory, named after Greek Goddess.      It says, "Earth is a self-regulating organism like a human being.  The organic life in it interacts with in-organic matter and maintains atmosphere, temperature and environment".  Hence the earth is still suitable for the life to thrive.      Imagine, in a particular place, there are lot of flowers.  Some flowers are white and some are darkly coloured.  We know, white reflects light and heat while dark absorbs the same.  White flowers can thrive in hot climate.  But dark flowers requires cold climate.  The absorption and reflection balances and the environment reaches average, warm temperature at which both the flowers can co-exist.  This is the essence of "Gaia" theory.      On our earth, ...

THE PARABOLA

          A jet of water shooting from a hose pipe will follow a parabolic path.  What is the so special about parabola.    Y= x^2 Draw a graph for the above equation.  It will result in a parabola.  This parabola is also called unit parabola.  Any equation involving square will yield a parabola. Example:  Y = 2x^2 +3x+3 (also called quadratic equation)    X= 2 and -2, both  satisfies the equation 4 = X^2.  Parabolic equations always have two solutions.     Any motion taking place freely under gravity follows parabolic path. Examples:   An object dropped from a moving train,   A bomb dropped from flying plane,  A ball kicked upwards.      If a beam of light rays fall on the parabolic shaped mirror, they will be reflected and brought to focus on a point.  This fact is made use of in Dish Antenna, Telescope mirrors, etc.   ...

DISORDER IS THE "ORDER OF THE DAY"

         Imagine a balloon full of air.  The air molecules are moving randomly inside the balloon.  Let us pierce the balloon with a pin.  The air rushes out.  Why should not the air molecules stay inside the balloon safely and ignore the little hole?  That is not the way the world works.  The molecules always "want to occupy as many states as possible".  Hence the air goes out in the open to occupy more volume.   The things always goes into disorder (entropy) and the disorder increases with time.  The above statement is what we call "second law of thermodynamics".      Consider a cup of coffee on the table. Suppose the heat from entire room flows to your cup of coffee, the coffee will boil and the rest of the room will freeze.  Freezing means bringing things to order and arrangement.  It violates the second law.  Hence it will never happen.  Hence heat must flow from high ...
