#6:The lexicon I live in

Do NOT blame me for the post. The other day, in my probability class, the words that were so fluently ejecting off my prof are the ones which obviated my next step.  He was busy trying to feed our brains with some useful desserts (probably), while one of that was busy configuring the syntax of the food. :P

Hello!, such was the word power then! I wonder if I could get a good GRE score at the end somehow after i finish the course(which is also a probability :P) Yeah, so lets not ‘digress’. This ‘digression’ was where he led us to in the first class itself. So did I digress.. not to the destination he took the class to, though. Well, forget that and lets continue our discussion with ‘tenacity’. As i was saying, there are a lot of varieties in the profs you come across, and poor brain needs to have such a huge ram to switch its compatibilities from one to the other with good efficiency and reasonably needed frequency. ufff..

With so much of processing already being done, if a new task comes up, a high priority interrupt is raised and the system shuts. Though, sometimes, one might experience ‘serendipity’ on the way. Such cases are exceptional, mind you!  In some cases, the system just heats up and that might lead to a fatal flaw. :-o Anyway, thank God, that he has given the students enough size of ram to prioritize things properly, with tools like proxies, but damn! i just came to know there are profs who detect forgery with the blink of an eye! aaargh! And people still say, God plays fair!! well, maybe he does, who knoes that guy might have used up full ram while doing it, which, can not be done by people like me, with already so much parallel processing taking place. :D whatever, i like this ‘conjecture’ and please myself so.

geee.. :D
Shampooo

PS:  The ‘quoted’ ones were the literal words the prof i mentioned in the beginning used- viral, init!? :P

#5: Throwing 'Light' on The Einstein Paradox

Hey there!
dont go too hay-way about the title of the blog,dude, you have seen it right. I call it the Einstein paradox, for reasons, gonna become obvious.
For a start, lets get back to our good old classical mechanics where everything starts acting weird and spooky. Oh yea, its this spookiness that led people take 'biggg' magnifying glasses and dig out such brilliant fundae as the strings, anti-gravity, anti-matter, especially quantum,etc. all is well till here. One big lead in this battalion of people was Albert Einstein.
As you should know, if you intend to stick to the rest of the blog, any body exibhits two kind of masses. The rest mass and the effective mass when in motion. Usually, whenever a body is in motion, its 'effective' mass will not be the same as what it was. But that difference is usually negligible for what bodies we come across everyday, or the macro ones. When we look at the atomic and sub-atomic level, things change. This was when a definition for a rest mass and mass in motion was needed- all a consequence of the theory of relativity.
When proposing the theory of relativity, Einstein has given his two most famous postulates, put in very simple terms as-
-speed of light is absolute
-speed of light is invariant
The reason behind the light's speed being absolute, was that the rest mass of a photon,(~a particle of light) is considered zero. And thus, lights speed was set as the limit and absolute. and there comes our famous equation, E=m*c^2.
BUT.. there is no solid proof to the statements made above. Oh yes, they say that the nuclear fission and fusion reactions carried out practically agreed with the equation. Well, right now i can only say hypothetically, that there might be energy which might be 'invisible' to those who are tapping it. Its still a mystery. How could one just set the limit like that? why is mass of a photon zero? (refer to 'tachyons') Why is lights speed invariant? Hope it gets resolved with a strong evidence one day.....
Waiting for such a day,
shampoo
(This led me to go and work on relativity at IITM but in vain. There needs to be a strong proof and that can only come through practical demos, but I dont think there are instruments in todays world, where we can scale things up to the level of 'light'- the Almighty of classical mechanics. )
