Does God play dice!!!





I have noticed even people who claim everything is predestined, and that we can do nothing to change it, look before they cross the road."
--Stephen Hawking

yes, I am back to the age old question that keeps daunting on me..."Free will versus Determinism"...so, is everything predetermined or do we have some kind of free will...I certainly am not a determinist...but I do have some faith in destiny... Sir Issac Newton who is considered the greatest physicist of all time was a determinist... he believed that all our actions are predetermined and we can do nothing to alter it... but according to Dr. Michio Kaku, co-founder of the string theory, reality is somewhat different...he believes that there is some free will in what we do...Newtonian Determinism says that the universe is a clock, a gigantic clock that’s wound up in the beginning of time and has been ticking ever since according to Newton’s laws of motion… So what you’re going to eat 10 years from now on January 1st has already been fixed… It’s already known using Newton’s laws of motion… Einstein believed in that... Einstein was a determinist…
Heisenberg then comes along and proposes the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle and says: “Nonsense. There is uncertainty... You don’t know where the electron is… It could be here, here or many places simultaneously.”...This of course Einstein hated because he said God doesn’t play dice with the universe… Well hey, get used to it… Einstein was wrong… God does play dice… Every time we look at an electron it moves… There is uncertainty with regards to the position of the electron…
So what does that mean for free will? It means in some sense we do have some kind of free will… No one can determine your future events given your past history… There is always the wildcard… There is always the possibility of uncertainty in whatever we do…
So when I look at myself in a mirror I say to myself what I'm looking at is not really me… It looks like me, but it’s not really me at all… It’s not me today now... It’s me a billionth of a second ago because it takes a billionth of a second for light to go from me to the mirror and back…Weird but true…

Sometimes...

Sometimes you just wanna believe a person, even when you know that the person is not as genuine as he/she is pretending to be...

Sometimes you just pretend to be ignorant, even when you know that the person, you trust, is lying straight into your face...

Sometimes you just pretend to be stupid, coz the person thinks he/she is smarter than you...

Sometimes you just wanna believe a story, even when you know that its just a "story"...

Sometimes you just give up everything for a person, even when you know that you are not gonna get anything in return...

Sometimes you just keep running, even when you know you are gonna finish last...

Sometimes you just keep smiling, even when you want to cry hard...

Sometimes you just keep believing, even when you know things are not going your way...

SOMETIMES....

People may think you are stupid...people may lie into your face...people may pretend to be angels...people may laugh at your back...people may take you for granted...but sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do...not because expect a favour in return...sometimes you act because you need to act

Toll of the Recess Bell


"How tired I am of this unbearable distance between us
How I long for the toll of the recess bell
Have you forgotten me?
Grown mindless of me?
Tell me I am not writing into an abyss
Or that is what will become of my heart…"
