Defining Randomness!


What is Randomness? It is the act of being random. So lets define the word 'Random'
But the defining 'random' in itself is against the concept of randomness. You see randomness cannot be confined within a finite definition. So I believe you cannot define the Actual concept of Randomness.

I believe our lives are spent fighting 'randomness'. You may wonder how? Look at yourself. Your body is of a finite structure. It is nothing random. We try our best to 'Keep in Shape'. This is but a small part of our fight.

In our lives we always want to bring order. We feel comfortable with a pattern, an order, an organized way of approach. We are always trying hard to organize our lives in to manageable parts. Pattern is of essence for humans and living beings alike. Though many friends and people I know (or don't yet) will say that they are not organized at all. They are a mess and hate conforming to patterns or adhering to some kind of order. Though you might call yourself unpredictable but then that is perceptive. You are trying hard to avoid a pattern at all costs.

But that in itself is a pattern. Not being in order in itself is a pattern. It is said that humans cannot do anything that is purely random. We always end up with a pattern. The pattern might be difficult to recognize or highly complex, but the pattern exists. It is interesting to note that people try hard to avoid a pattern but still end up creating one that they can't see. Many crimes are solved in this manner.

It is therefore that a theory exists that order arises out of Chaos. Chaos is nothing but randomness. Purest form of Randomness is probably missing even from space. Planets, stars, constellations are all in patterns. They move in set orbits. Its because they follow a pattern, that we can plan space trips and get those robots to land on Mars such as the recent Phoenix lander.

I would love to feel, see and experience ABSOLUTE RANDOMNESS once in life if at all possible. Because I cannot imagine the sheer beauty of this pure form which will be nothing but miracle. The unpredictability of such 'Randomness' will be thrilling and exhilarating to the extent that perhaps, just perhaps we can experience the so called Bliss as in Heaven.

Beauty lies in Nothingness

Most beautiful things in life are experienced in Nothingness. The beauty of the mountains are best experienced when one stands at the edge of a cliff and looks at the valley below to see nothing but a thick mattress of white cotton clouds. You see nothing yet feel the beauty of nature. The beauty of the meadows are best experienced in silence. Not a single sound around, just the speech of nature which in itself is nothing but silence. Wind whispering nothing, grass waving in silence, trees dancing in silence. The most beautiful moments of your life are those that you spend with your soul-mate sitting together in absolute silence on that beach staring into the sea. Sharing everything without saying a word...the beauty lies in the lack of speech...it lies in nothingness.

Random tip of the Day # 133

Global Warming and number 13

So how is the number 13 related to Global Warming ? I found some very interesting connections which I say is nothing but coincidence! Try a small search on Global Warming long with the number 13 (global warming + 13) and you will notice that most publications, press releases, and news articles were released on the 13th of any month . Many books were launched on the same date. Summits and conferences were arranged on the 13th . Also interestingly, a public forum was held at the Australian National University in Canberra on 13 July 2007 . Scientists from the Australian National University, Stanford University, USA, and ARC Centre of Excellence for Coral Reef Studies gathered here to debunk the skeptics of the Global Warming theory. There are a few more amazing coincidences : 13% of Americans have not heard about Global Warming according to an AC Nielsen report In 2007, ahead of the G8 Summit, thirteen science academies (also signatories) issued a declaration affirming the existence of...
