About Me: I'm the Miltonian equivalent of what Shaw would've called a fustian magniloquent belligerent imbecile. (Fustian Magniloquenta Imbecelio Belligerentus). In other words, I'm the utopian loudmouthed idiot. A new breed altogether...but fun to have around.

A Theory of Theories

    Wednesday, January 05, 2005  

Got up late today dudes. Late for class. Donno why we bother with half this technical stuff that we're studying. Sometimes I wonder if all the science in the world, is maybe just another way to add to our miseries. I mean who in his right mind would come up with so many complicated theorems just to make people study them later on if they're to have any chance of surviving comfortable on this miserable little planet.

I mean take Newton for example. Now what kinda sick dude thinks about complex equations when something like an apple falls on his head? Whoever told him to go sit under an apple tree in the first place? And why only an apple tree?? Why not a coconut tree? So he has to do it. And what does he come up with? Newton's law. "If you sit under an apple tree, an apple will fall on your head because of the forces of attraction between your head and the apple". And then there's Einstein who came out with an even more obscure theory "Relativity" which says that "if you sit under an apple tree, there's every chance of a coconut falling on your head provided you sit faster than the speed of light". Or newtons second law which states that "for everything there's an equal and opposite reaction, which means that if a coconut drops on your head, then you'll suddenly find yourself sititng under an apple tree". How cute. No wonder science baffles me. How I long for the good ol days :-)
