A Fascinating Mad Man

As you know most of my blogs start with my childhood memories, yet another thought with childhood memory of a man by whom i was inspired the most, was considered as mad by the society. I would like to define the "mad" according to dictionary:- Mentally disturbed or insane. Mad man means sometimes above mentioned disturbance are visible in a personality in the form of over excitement, anger, extremely emotional or thoughtful.

Most of the time when i used to hang out with my dad or friends in the town, i spotted that man, talking to himself wearing a old pajama with white cotton shirt(was no more white) moving his hand in the air looks like that he was solving a mathematical equation. I never dared to get close to him because the society(means the people around me those who think that they are normal and in equilibrium compared to that man) gave me a feeling of fear that going close to him would be harmful as a result of physical damage. But no body could speculate that the curiosity about that man in my mind was causing lot of mental damage. One fine day we three of us myself, Nikhil and Afzal saw him seating on wooden chair at one tapri( a kind of small tea shop with some snacks), that mad man was using some Greek symbols and some real numbers on piece of news paper(white area of news paper), we three were sixth standard school boy so we were exposed to such type of objects(Greek symbols and numbers) and we could think that he is dealing(playing) with mathematics. At that time we were not able to understand what exactly what a mad man used be and though we observed some abnormality but that was not sufficient to get scared off him. Nikhil was pretty fearless guy and ignoring all such warning of so called society he just approached that man and ask him "what are you doing and to whom you used talk." He turned to us with a kind of weird smile and showed that piece of paper to us that paper was in front of us in such way that it was obstructing his face(little imagination is required with the help of 9th std physics means optics). That paper was with system of linear equations and polynomials. We were not capable enough to understand his mathematical derivations but yes we got a clue that this guy is not dangerous where as he may help us in our assignments. Later we investigate about him that he was very bright mathematics student in the university and later he gone insane(according to definition of mad man in the society).

My parents were getting stressed day by day, observing increased proximity of me and my friends with that man. As we know normally a young kid always fascinated by sportsman or bollywood celebrities but in my life I was fascinated by that mad man who used talk himself and I considered him a fabulous mathematician. I always wanted to be like him who used to talk to himself. It has been almost twenty years and today I found that I started talking to myself and trying to model some of the complex phenomenon of this cosmos with the help of mathematics.


I think that the euclidean distance of normal behaved human and madmen is quite high compare to all the distances among all normal humans. Where as every one is mad with respect to other but because the euclidean distance is not quite high among their behavior which keeps that human under the normal human category . To represent those mad men with help of little maths. If I consider that whole population of human and there behavior is normally distributed than madmen lie on the tail of normal curve means beyond the +3 and -3 sigma. And if i plot human behavior of whole population in a scatter plot than these madmen will be like outliers but these outliers are useful like in my case who helped me to understand the mathematics and becomes my inspiration.

-------------

P.S. - I received couple of feedback that axes are not defined. Y-axis represents the behavior of an human and X-axis is symbolic representation of humans (like physical, social and economical status). Actually as we see that in scatter plot the points which are closed to each other nothing but there euclidean distance from each other is very less except one point(sample of mad men from population). So we assume that these all points are under the normal distributed curve between -3 to +3 sigma, further more specifically further both, curve and plot are just symbolic(intuitive) representation rather a quantitative analysis.

correlation

It is a normal mid-night, i am standing in my balcony with my last sip of tea. I saw moon and stars in the sky, the same moment i thought " what is the correlation between them, or if i bring to generality what is the correlation between two objects, existing in the universe/cosmos. over a period of time i read different streams of subjects like astrology, economics and neuro-science etc. apart of engineering. I found the fraternity of scientists are coming close to each other . They are developing new multidisciplinary areas for research as well.

I remember my school days when, i was introduced to physics mathematics and chemistry, one day my brother, he was my tutor also, told me "when u read different subjects, try to observe the correlation and establish architecture of correlated information, that will enhance your knowledge in holistic"
Now, when i am watching those stars. I found the information, that there is a study that shows a correlation between stars and pyramids of Giza i.e. Orion Correlation Theory. This theory is something that is established by the human. Apparently those objects(stars and pyramids) can't think about this correlation so the variation in the value of one star would affect the other or not i don't know? but yes according to law of gravitational force definitely there is correlation but again this correlation at human ground .

As far as my experience with linear regression in statistics, i could only say the definition of
Correlation:-the degree to which two or more attributes or measurements on the same group of elements show a tendency to vary together.

I picked up my cell phone and dialed to one of my friends , who is a statistician and i asked him " what do u know about the correlation between two objects, exist in the universe, let say what is the correlation between me and u? and if i consider me and u than we have to include my thoughts and your's too, now the situation is not linear it became non-linear and complex also." he told me about the non-linearity or curvilinear correlation but no answer about the complex situation about thoughts.

Later i thought that if i start taking interest in his girl friend and lets say dating too, what will be happening to his thoughts/actions. So means we need an area of the intersection of the sets which represents the common area of activities/thinking. I am sorry writing this logic looks difficult so i should bring some notation as follows and a figure right side.

A = set of my all actions that i can take from thinking

or

A= set of all my thoughts that i can think from the events around me

same as

B= set all of actions that he can can take from thinking

or

B= set of all his thoughts that he can think from the events around him

So that means "thinking about his girlfriend and dating her" both fall in A ∩ B and that means the changes in my variables(thoughts/action) changes his variables(thoughts/actions). Linear or nonlinear but sure, it is complex correlation definitely.
so i think or hypothesize that there is possibility that we all are, means objects, humans and, there thoughts/actions are correlated. If it is true than there is an area which will be intersection of all actions/thoughts.

i.e. A'= ∩Ai ..A'= is not zero ....where i=1 to infinity ................where i = every living non living thing/actions(or thoughts)

incomplete story

# This post is Dedicated to Mr. Steve Jobs#

Mr. Steve Jobs, CEO, Apple Inc., I remember & Probably most of the young Graduate Students, also remember. The speech given by Steve on the occasion of Convocation ceremony at Stanford,
Out of the three stories that he narrated, one story is still incomplete, the story about his Pancreatic Cancer. Today is 17th feb. 2011, just an hour ago i came to know that the Steve's cancer is recurred.
The Man, who gave a new dimension to this world, in the field of multimedia gadgets, more specifically in the applied field of Quantum Computing and Cryptographic Codes. He is having still an incomplete or unfinished story of cancer . Cancer is Came in to existence, long back in the history more than 50 years ago.

Generally the question arises that if this is true that he will not survive more than six weeks. Than i start thinking what would be his mental status at this point of time Or in general a human who knows that he has certain fix time period in which he will be alive. Probably human start thinking that to finish the unaccomplished tasks, or he looks for more recognition, that is quite relevant to the other person like Mr. Bill Gates, probably he realized that any way he has to die one day, So he wanted the huge number of people that relates " who will cry when u die?" Concept.

So back to Steve, either he would look for more appreciation of his accomplishments, or whether i m a big nut of thinking this crap. He doesn't have this state of mind. He might be in the state of numbness. But most of the cases normally human adopts most optimistic behavior that, "i will be OK, again". and this is will be a another story to tell, so. If Steve takes that he will recover again, as he could do in the past, Sometime the casual behavior about our future wellness, takes us to realization of a truth with an event in our life. The event which is correlated to so many events, but that event becomes our destiny and looks completely absolute to us. Which completes the story ............

Inflation, Deflation and Friction force on onion

Inflation, deflation(negative inflation) these are the economic terms which never attract any attention of science or Engineering graduate, and our early childhood we always ignore the page of Business and Economy of daily news paper, as a Mechanical Engineer i was fond of the forces(classical mechanics). As a normal S&T geek, i only used to surf the news paper from front page to directly sports page and further check some pictures of beautiful useless celebrity(female) in film section. My brother was in medical grad school so, as his motivation, i also used to pretend my self as S&T geek, tried to read all scientific magazines subscribed in our home and later my pretending attitude eventually made me interested in to science and technology. That leaded me to engineering school as a Mechanical Engineering graduate.

Back to my high school days, my home was isolated from the city and a single house was situated just center of the big farm site(politically isolated from the community). In the evening my father's office friends used come to our home for chatting as normal political (from local to international issues), and i considered my self as an intelligent student. Instead of study i used seat with my father, ignoring my mother's advices(shouting), I used participate in the discussion over the Gulf war to the Chechnya, J&K and Indian electoral candidates' fate on the table of our drawing room. the only realization of my intelligence to me was nothing but, my parents' fake ego satisfaction among their friends, with my school grades. This flashback which associated with my exposure to only S&T and Politics, although my sister was having major subjects like economics and commerce, but i couldn't motivated in to in, possibly because i never had a scarcity with resources, apart of that it was not interesting to me because it was not physically visible as the normal forces, i could feel with mechanisms.

The world economy downturn of 2008 drew my attention to economics. That was the only time when, i had started my spiritual journey after quitting the job. Every day, news papers were talking about the deflation, that motivated me to know about economics, and first time i tried to understand the definition of inflation and deflation keeping all mechanical forces aside specially my favorite force of Friction. Government from all over the globe and the economist were in the havoc because of negative inflation. As normal Indian guy who has no idea about the stock pricing and economics, i was really happy that we got negative inflation and the goods will be cheaper. cheers have party!!. but later i understood these economists consider, the positive inflation as a significance of economical growth of the world and for the particular country, so means the expansion of the economy was seized. And than i realized the importance of the page of Business and Economy which i ignores in my child hood and connection with politics. Politics which helps countries to go for war for there economic benefits. This is December 2010 and food (onion) price are flying high just like , same as a young boy used to fly high after six puffs of Marijuana. The inflation rate is 12.13% and again the political parties looking towards the economists and every one is in havoc, i don't know what happened to there economic growth now the inflation positive, but again the constipating economic situation.

So coming back to my engineering basics, what i read in basic thermodynamics that universe entropy is increasing and entropy is nothing but measure of randomness. We can put in other way that all processes are irreversible, we can also put in other way that all processes have irreversibility in the form of losses also. If we imagine that earth(onion) is on an inclined plane, why on inclined plane?, because it will be having dynamic enjoyment in all the aspect, means rolling, along the change with elevation too. Elevation is nothing but kind of more utility derivation, and that is nothing but the measure of our happiness. Which is also considered as economic growth. That requires some kind of rolling effect and in that process, every point on the surface of globe which passes an touches the inclined plane is in static friction condition. But if the world economics and politics will push globe hard over the optimum force. It will start skidding on the plane and with increased irreversibility in the process, the bottom surface will be heated . Than all the economist and politician in will be in the havoc. The basic reason behind that is, human always consider that politics and economics are intelligent. But apparently these are the fake ego of human race with wrong notion of economic development. same as that my parents had with me with my intelligence !!

note: After receiving initial feed back from the readers, i understood that most of the people has considered the first two paragraph as crap, and that needs more explanation. First two paragraph writer is exposed to only politics and science so his view point is political and scientific to see the world, further he exposed to economics and spirituality so the meaning of rolling and static friction condition of the each point on globe is nothing but talking about sustainable(achieving close to reversible Process) and spiritual development of human race, achieving the joy, rather materialistic happiness resultant of instantaneous economic development.

God and Human Hand

A particular religious person believes that god belongs to a certain types of idol or place or whatever means. Every religious place usually, there will be some religious regulatory body which is termed as trust, which takes care the faith of the people and the functioning of temple/mosque/church as a system. they defined the methods to worship, type of donations, utilizations of those endowment. they decide that who will enter ? how he will enter? and how much time is allotted to see the idols or etc. If I consider that every action that each human being is taking is the will of a god than probably that the actions of those people are also the god's will.. so it means that the God itself/himself/herself wanted to be played /controlled by the human hands.

Whenever somebody talks about the God, most of the time a question goes across my mind, where is God? how does it/he/she look like? is that possible to feel the god by our limited senses? and if he is the only who taking care of the whole planet who has given that authority to the god?or itz just a illusionary thought of a human way back in to the past that we couldn't under stand the randomness of this cosmos and the things Which was beyond our understanding termed as god's will and we create the invisible identity which take cares of the those randomness.
In this context i remember a book "The Black Swan" wrote by Nassim Nicholas Taleb, i will not take the full reference but the Philosophy behind that book which talks about the uncertainty related to world economy and the events those are considered as accidents, couldn't be predicted well before they happened, as like till we were not aware of black swan, and no body could predict that a black swan would be possibly exist on this planet if someone speaks about the swan we immediately imagine a picture of white swan. same as most of the accidents (in the economics of in physical world) occurred couldn't be predicted well before and even if they have been predicted, people couldn't prevent the after effects of those accidents,
And thats how term of "God" comes into the picture that whatever either we couldn't Predict or cant Prevent is something over us as an identity of god and he take cares of those uncertainty and the human hands made the god's manifestation in terms of idol/place or whatever means by which the human believes that some body is there as god and his hand is over us to protect and prosperous us.
But the question still exist where is god's hand? or is there Human hand on god at ever religious places.

Illusion of your Absolute Existence

In this post i am trying to put some thought that has been concluded by mental exercise. Any one who has read The Bhagwat Gita, lord krishna has explained Arjuna that you are no one who has decided to fight this war; the famous Krukshetra war between Kaurava and Pandava was decided by lord krishna as he told. He further said that not only the war but every leaf which is trembling in the blowing wind is nothing but his will, The first question arose that why lord krishna(god) wanted that war or any dynamic movement in the universe is his will, second question is how is it possible?

Say for example a human ;a man who is a working professional in any of the industry from mechanical, software, govt. etc. If i will offer him/her an unlimited amount of money on the monthly basis and, the only thing is allowed to him, not to do anything, just sit on single place with given minimum necessities like food and Excretory system functions. Intuitively, it is sure that at the most one week the human will follow the guidelines of not doing anything but after that he will move to do something, that is behavior of normal human that to entertain himself by doing something. Means action oriented behavior, nut shell dynamics is required to feel good
After reading about the nature and close observation of nature and human i came to conclusion that, i found the answer of first question ,that if we, a negligible physical entity in the whole cosmos has a behavior of entertaining with dynamics, than why not the whole cosmos would? so let we assume that whole cosmos is conscious and that cosmos is itself is lord krishna(god) so this conscious(god) cosmos(existence of all e.g. bird hman, air , leaf as Physical entity) entertain him self with dynamic behavior because, it wont feel good without any thing and as a part of this cosmos we behave the same as cosmos behaves.
To under stand second question how it happens i will take same example of the human, was supposed to not to do any thing, will move out of the room, goes for gymnasium to work out. He entertains him self there ,with some dynamic activity. If i imagine that body of man is nothing but a micro-model of cosmos and with that micro-model we assume that, his finger is micro-micro-model of a normal human. Than actually the man exercises, his hand movement are up and down and the finger is moving with hand only. The finger(micro-micro model of real human) will think himself that he is moving up down by him self. But actually it was resultant of whole exercise of the man(micro-model of cosmos)
with this explanations actually the human or anything on this planet is negligible compare to whole cosmos that cosmos contains solar system, galaxies these details are resultant of our dynamic behavior by which we explored this much planets and galaxies. But it may possible there are more than what we have explored is existing and than our thought that we are controlling our actions is illusion of absolute existence . And so many actions of our dynamic behavior are actually nothing but part of this "conscious cosmos" or god whatever who is exercising in the gymnasium

A tryst with the destiny

actually this title is taken from a speech made by Pt. Nehru, was made on the eve of India's independence, towards midnight on 14 August 1947. But the issue here is not that we are going to independent but here we are independent and what is the reality of independence Pt. Nehru talked about "To bring freedom and opportunity to the common man, to the peasants and workers of India; to fight and end poverty and ignorance and disease; to build up a prosperous, democratic and progressive nation, and to create social, economic and political institutions which will ensure justice and fullness of life to every man and woman" i have a question that, from last 63 years where we are ? i feel that we traveled distance but displaced zero towards what ever spoken by Pt Nehru or it was a effort just to grab some attention of the media, if it was not than what he has percolated his vision to the citizen of this country or it is just a responsibility of the some set of people those in the government to show vision and nothing else what about your vision your trust for the citizen what about there trust for there leader.

I have fortunate tryst with some people who belong to the state which is categorized as Uttar Pradesh(U.P.) the journey was started from Anand Vihar ISBT ,because me and my three other friend those, dared to visit U.P. for marriage and couldn't got in to sleeper class bogi because there wasn't enough space to breath so we planned to go by bus some how we got a man he assured that he will take us to Lucknow, and bus will start around 11 pm but from 10:30 pm to till the night 1 am. There were n number of agents belong to the owner of that bus, were trying to fill the bus, not a single seat should left so when the bus was packed around with 61 passengers, the owner comes and checked the tickets, no seat number was allotted and there were five different type of receipts was floated among the passengers, each receipt said some XYZ travels without address and only amount. That was just formal way of some psychological satisfaction to the passenger and to show that, we are not kinda third class bus service. Bus was filled than the owner counted almost five times, it was like that first time he got this much passengers and how the two drivers had driven the bus, was like 99% probability that we were in our last roller coaster ride. In the morning driver said "how can put passengers life on danger that's why it is getting late to reach Lucknow". i couldn't under stand "to bring freedom and opportunity to the common man" who are common men or the driver! or the passenger! or the owner! and where is freedom? and where is opportunity?

Further more before reaching to Lucknow just half a kilometer the gear shift was arrested under the jam he even didn't apologize and said what else i can do., we walked for half KM and we got a city bus there was no traffic signal and some of those were ,they were crying that why they are there. first time i felt like that, i am stuck in Afghanistan , were as i have not been there in Afghanistan but i can feel such, and included that i have lost my passport there. I observed only two kind of feeling on the most of the faces there, one the human was scared of getting cheated by next human, second one was any human was ready to cheat next one. no third feeling i observed. Next Pt Nehru has said to fight and end poverty actually people has concentrated on the first part to fight among them to make rich them selves individually, with respect to the other human next to him.

I must ask who are u Pt. Nehru, are you entirely different from the common man and what is the definition of common man the man who is not in politics or who is not a freedom fighter or who is not born in a political leader or in royal dynasty.
