Reality Check

Most people assume that the world we perceive is the world that exists. It is fundamentally a flawed assumption. If you just probe this assumption a bit deeper, you will easily arrive at the conclusion that the world that we perceive is the world that we create. I am not saying that the reality does not exist or that we create the world through our imagination. What I am claiming is that the perception is not a passive act. Image, sound, time and space does not exist outside our perception. There may be something "out there"  (if at all) that correlates to what we perceive . But, in order to perceive a specific form of reality, we have to create them in the first place. Don't forget that the unique point of view of one's individual reality does not exist without him. Every moment of perception is an act of creation through the subconscious process of our neurological network, that evolved over millions of years of trial and error. Let us examine in scientifi...

Time travel, a 4-D perspective

The reality is a complex multidimensional entity that reveals itself only through our limited senses. Our species is only sophisticated enough to map three of these n-dimensions into an orthogonally separate properties. This is what we conventionally call as ‘space’. According to the General theory of reality, time-space is an inseparable four-dimensional continuum. Since we could not map the fourth dimension uniquely in our mind, we folded it on to the same spacial dimension. That is why multiple events seem to be happening at each point in space, even though each event is an unique point in itself. Because of this limitation in our understanding of reality, we ask stupid questions like, ‘is time travel possible ?’, ‘whether we can go back in time ?’. But if we do go back in time, it would be the same us at that point in time, at where we were, with exact same memory at that time. We ARE at that time and we are also in THIS time. All the time, space and events exist in eternity. It...

Movie Review : Steve Jobs [2015]

This is an energy packed fast phased biopic movie about the late founder and CEO of Apple. There is never a moment in the movie you could get board. The accuracy of the movie is highly questionable given the fact that the whole story was told only through three product launch events from Steve Jobs. This means that the writer / director has to bring all the drama and dialogs in to this narrow set of events. It is a difficult task to narrate the story in this structure. The director mostly succeeded in this but did violate this structure slightly by introducing some flashback cuts in to the movie. The flashback scenes play the role of emphasizing some important messages but did not fit as smoothly in to the movie as rest of the scenes. This makes you feel that the director should have ditched the structure for a conventional narrative style. Another issue with the movie is that it is only meant for the people who are already familiar with Steve Jobs and the background story. The mo...
