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.

Random Babble: Bore

The word 'Bore' has a lot of connotations. All connotations can be found in a dictionary. So why am I doing it here? Because I can and I am plain bored. Bore: To be a bore. Someone who has the ability to spread boredom. This should not be mistaken for a superpower. It is more common than you can imagine. Illustration: The author finds some of his posts a bore . Bore : Bore is used to define the diameter of a tube or tunnel or anything circular. Its associated more to a hole. Gun barrels also are identified using the bore. No Calibre is different, this is more related to the barrel. Illustration: The bore of the barrel of the gun pointed at your face is directly related to your ability to hold your bladder. Bore : Bore is also a sort of digging term related to the process of digging into something. It perhaps obvious since Bore seems to like tunnels and holes. Its only natural to associate itself to the process of digging too. Illustration: The termite bore holes in my book...

Who decides they are extinct?

T his question might pop up in your mind. If not there is no harm in thinking for once. Who in the whole world decides that a certain species is endangered or extinct? It vexed me. After some research and it was evident that there are many local agencies authorized by the local governing bodies to conduct research and surveys to find the population density and frequency of sightings and so on of species in a particular location. But there exists an International body whose responsibility is to keep a track of the conservation status of species and subspecies including plants and animals. This is known as International Union for the Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources (IUCN). As one of the oldest and also the largest environment network, IUCN has over 1000 professionals, 11,000 volunteer scientists, 60 offices and numerous partners across the world. Like many other record keeping organizations and keepers of numbers, metrics and NGOs, IUCN is located near Geneva, Switzerland. I...
