Return to the Past

2005 was the year when I last used electronic ink on the internet papyrus. And boy have I spelled life in multiple ways since then.
I nest nowadays in a studio flat with co-ordinates 51 degrees, 42.7 minutes North and 0 degrees, 19.9 minutes West, a symmetrical postcode ( AL22LA ) and space like cargo in a plane , essential but not enough.


Now, why such a informative resurrection ? Reason : Information use-full/empty. Yup, thats the topic I start off with.


We can begin to analyse the topic by this post itself. Right now I am wondering how do I make these lines useful for you. Firstly, here on I'll categorise information as UE(Use-full) or UE(Use-empty), just to make a few points clear I guess or for the creation of fresh UE !!!


Right, back to my visit to wonderland... Out comes the checklist. Thoughts - Check , Lack of Reason - Check , Mad Hatter's GPS co-ordinates - Check.... 3...2...1... down the hole. See ya soon !!!  


Bummer... Could not reach my destination due to line closure. Alice had a smoother journey as there were no planned engineering works in imagination then, should have checked the posters. But there's always the other way much like everything big and small. 


Moving on, some of you might have heard of the word Verisimilitude. Karl Popper popularised this and it somehow fits into the whole concept of UF and UE. To me Verisimilitude is a self contradicting notion and implodes its own logic. Might have to study a lots more to vouch for my last statement but yes it assists this information paradox. 


Popper said that scientific theories are abstract in nature, and can be tested only indirectly, by reference to their implications. He also held that scientific theory, and human knowledge generally, is irreducibly conjectural or hypothetical, and is generated by the creative imagination in order to solve problems that have arisen in specific historico-cultural settings. Speaking with a name tag saying 'COMMON MAN' on my chest I say yes. We never get to know the real deal behind modern science. Some of it because we do not understand and some because the supply is halted when people start understanding. Its the rules and the pathways which have been designed we need to follow to get there. So isn't making UF instead of the truck load of UE available more essential to people than giving us recharges when the lights go dim ? Making more people think and break the dumbness. I am not saying we do not have access, don't get me wrong, we do not have explicit access but we can see some things. The question is what needs to be shown to make the world think more. For example, what happened with the Large Hadron Collider Experiment ? Anybody ?

  1. News update (just in case you are still wondering what's the shizzle with CERN):-
    1/ By the end of February this year the LHC will run for 18 to 24 months at a collision energy of 7 TeV (3.5 TeV per beam).
    2/ After that, they will go into a long shutdown in which they'll do all the necessary work to allow them to reach the LHC’s design collision energy of 14 TeV for the next run. This means that when beams go back into the LHC later this month, CERN will be entering the longest phase of accelerator operation in their history, scheduled to take them into summer or autumn 2011.
    3/ In other words, things are moving slowly, but in the right direction. Hopefully.

    Now cheer up!

  2. tor thekey information ta peye khushi holam but the point is the discretion in media... basically amar thought ta onek dik thekey conflicting as I guess I want to know something in some way which might not be the same for everyone else... kintu reality and news er influence and availability is very much augmented !!! *blah blah blah* :P now I have copy pasted this from my facebook comment... see what I mean...
