The Reality Theory

A coin is tossed in the air. Now, what would you think would be the only two outcomes of it landing? Either heads or tails, right? Wrong. Who's to say that the coin won't simply vanish into thin air? Well, science says that this would be impossible, but this is only because it has never happened before. In my opinion, past events do not allow for absolute predictions of the future. The future is, and always will be, absolutely 100% unpredictable. Now you might say, “Man, you’re insane. There is no way a coin is going to disappear in mid air, that's just the reality of it". But is that really reality? No, it is the human perception of reality. Reality is reality, and no amount of human classification will ever be able to shape or change that. When the apple fell on to Isaac Newton’s head, he discovered gravity; but did he really? No, he merely examined a force, already in place, and gave a name to it. Thus we have the law of gravity, but this law does not cause gravity to work, gravity works because gravity is gravity. But what we classify as gravity has been around far longer than any of us, and will be around long after we are gone. The law of gravity is entirely based off of what gravity has done in the past, but gravity is neither constrained, nor controlled by it. If tomorrow, gravity were to begin working in the opposite direction, pulling us all out into space, it would happen, because gravity is not limited to the laws we have given it. Human perception of reality does not make it reality. Reality was already reality in the first place; we simply labelled it as we observed it. But just because a coin has never disappeared in mid toss before, does not mean it never will. Just because a person says “it’s never happened before, therefore it never will", does not make it a reality. It is merely his perception of reality.

Quick Fact: I came up with this theory right after watching Fringe. I spent about half an hour walking in circles contemplating life and it's mysteries. However, I had this in mind for quite some time. I guess, Fringe just triggered it; '2001: A Space Odyssey' was what really made me think.

Welcome to 'Playgrounds of the Mind"

There was once a time, back in the day before Orkut became overrun with spammers and before social networking sites like Facebook, and Twitter were used to sleep with the people they once knew at kindergarten, I kept up a small anonymous blog. And believe me, it wasn't that bad.

And, even though I blogged it up for a while, it lapsed with the passage of time. Thereafter, I became a guest columnist at The Shed Ender. Okay, well, let’s just not talk about it. Anyway, lately the blogging urge has struck again. Surely, I think to myself, the world can still benefit from my always clever, often timely, and admittedly vast pool of personal wisdom!

Of course, it fricking well can. It is, for example, full of people like you, and that does it very little credit. The world, I modestly accept, could use me.

So here I am, yet another blogger.  One who has already lost his bloggin’ magic once. But one, who believes has some more magic left in him.
Here, you’ll find social commentary, with frequent diversions into the merely curious and occasional forays into the field of law.

But before we begin, it would help to have the House Rules.

The House Rules

1) A sense of humor is required.

2) Your comments will rarely be deleted. However, I will delete any material deemed to be offensive to any gender, ethnic, religious, or other interest group, anything deemed off-subject, any material my girlfriend does not like, and, on rare occasions, any time I really, really feel like it.

3) These things do not amuse me: Manchester United, Liverpool, Barcelona, Coldplay, the Wall Street Journal Editorial Board, Robert Pattinson, and Justin Beiber.. Liking anything above doesn’t disqualify you from participating in this blog. It will, however, raise grave doubts about your level of taste.

And, finally:

4) There's only one team in London. Chelsea Football Club.

Okay, so let’s get it started:
