The One With The Suicide

Boltzmann derived the most fundamental equation which describes the evolution of any macroscopic physical system which we can think of.......from the equation we get probability distribution of the constituents of the system in phase space.The Boltzmann equation based on Newton's classical mechanics(thought to be time reversible) can lead to entropy(which gives the directionality to an event) in a real system,which is contradictory.This was a topic of intense debate during His time and even some of the greatest physicists stood against Boltzmann.He tried a lot of ways to explain,but failed, and at last He tried committing suicide and succeeded.This blog justifies Boltzmann's decision to end His life through a possible(crazy!!!)explanation. Physicist's and in general any researcher's dream is to completely understand what is happening in nature.He/She dedicates his/her entire life towards the same.We can only talk abt the success and failure of a person in explaining nature while he/she was alive. And,we think,no one has so far succeeded in completely explaining nature in his/her lifetime(otherwise we would not be doing what we are doing now - research).So the only thing which we can think abt(at the same time cannot think abt)is the success/failure of a person after death.The generally thought abt reasons for committing suicide - frustration,repeated failure etc may not be the actual ones.May be by ending their lives they were able to succeed in their attempts to understand the nature completely.We think Boltzmann belongs to this elite category of people who were ready to do anything to understand nature.The argument which we put to justify ending one's life as a means to understand life/nature is as follows - if one want to capture an image of how the Earth looks like he/she has to go out of Earth and look down. In a similar way if one wants to know abt life he/she has to go OUT OF IT!!!!!!(ending it!!!!).........

The One With The Enlightenment

During one of those oddest of jobless hours, over a cup of coffee (read, hot water!), a strange thought popped up in our idle minds ( remember, AN idle mind is a devil's workshop, just imagine two such interacting!!). We were surprised by the general acceptance of mankind's superiority over all other life forms through the argument of evolution ..... here comes our crazy thought!!! what if we human beings are in reality the slaves of an apparently inferior life form , say cockroach. The idea of cockroach came to our minds b'coz of the supposed ability of cockroaches to withstand even a nuclear holocaust.... now let us imagine or what the cockroach God wants us to, that " That the ultimate truth of life we human beings are searching for is already known to cockroaches and each and every movement/action of all other life forms, all the natural phenomenon .... occurs as demanded by Lord Cockroach". The illusion created on human beings and all other life forms by involving them in the search for the ultimate truth of life, apparently, can be thought of as a trick game played by L0rd Cockroach to keep us away from the absolute truth of life. The problems we work on now like turbulence is made so formidable by Him/Her that it gives a false feeling that by solving these we will be able to realize the ultimate truth of life. So be warned!!! don think u are the most superior, just make sure to please other apparently inferior forms. Who knows tomorrow u may also know the ultimate truth of life due to the blessings from Lord Cockroach.....

Watch out for more revelations from Lord Cockroach through us.........
