After a month long of development, I had got a breather. We were on the testing phase less issues and more time to spend. I had heard about Higgs boson news the previous day. “What are these particles?” I was wondering. As I was browsing for the articles related to them, I stumbled upon few sites about quantum physics. One thing led to another and finally I was reading about Euclidean spaces and space time dilation. Hmm lot of stuff, many were going over my head!
While I was going through all this stuff I came across the Copenhagen interpretation* and the Schrodinger's Cat* it was interesting. The wave and particle nature of elements and the possibility of existence of many worlds fascinated me. Though I learn t many of these things at school they did not startle me then. “Whenever a measurement takes place, the entire universe divides as many times as there are possible outcomes of the measurement.” Interesting isn’t it!
Well all this reminded me of one of my experience at Chidambaram. I and my friend had gone to see the much fabled ‘Naadi Josiyam’. The man who read my Palm leaf script was asking me initially if my name started with certain letters or if my father was doing so and so business and many such irrelevant questions, before finalizing which was my Palm leaf script. After finalizing my Palm leaf script he read me its interpretations and it was almost 90% accurate. I asked the man if the entire Palm leaf script was unique for me. He said that it is not so and based on the person’s name, parent’s name, time at which the person contacts to read the script, the Palm leaf script will differ! I.e. from the same palm script he can predict the future of many different people.
Hmm this part seems to be related to our modern day physics. But how did the old Tamil people find this and how did they write the probabilities for all the people that maybe born? Is the ancient Tamil science more advanced than the modern day physics! I wonder!
