Is it the same for you? The feeling of never being able to settle in peace until you have complete knowledge? Of going down a roller coaster of information on the pursuit of finding a dead end to this new information you just recieved after learning about something else to successfully complete the task at hand, but it’s all interconnected to a new topic you didn’t know about, so you go on deeper and deeper into the rabbit hole….
…..And now you don’t know where to stop?
In a similar rabbit hole, was I, As I was thinking about humans, a crazy thought came to me. Biology is just Applied chemistry.
No really, Since literally everything in the universe is just various chemicals mixed together. Because everything that’s biology is organic, and everything that’s organic fundamentally has carbon in it, or it’s byproduct is carbon. Everything that’s biological is a mixture of applied chemistry, and different chemical interactions.
It made me think deeper, so I came to a conclusion that everything that’s chemistry is just Applied physics. You see, chemistry is basically the interaction of protons and electrons on a atomic level. So transfer of electron from one shell to another either thru combustion or reverse combustion,and yada yada. Applied physics.
Now now, Physics is just Applied Mathematics. I don’t need to explain anything about physics. Gravity, light, pressure, inertia, mechanics, everything. Explained through complex mathematical equations. Things that we cannot feel or touch, like gravity or inertia, we explain it through mathematical equations.
What about mathematics? You might think this is a dead end. But no, if it were so easy. Mathematics is just Applied philosophy.
Crazy right? Probably is. But again, this is all just an opinion of mine. Still, hear me out. Let’s start from the basics of mathematics. Addition and subtraction. 1+1=2. 70-1= 69. (Nicee) we add and subtract so quickly, but we forgot to ask why? Why do we add and subtract? Why do we divide? Why do we find out what ‘x’ means when x+y2=7? Equity. That’s why. Early man got some berries and wanted to know how to distribute it among his family of cavemen of 5. Hence his mind decided to divide 25 berries by 5.
Hence, mathematics was discovered. Addition, subtraction and Division was created out of a need of equality. A need to be right in calculating in business and in other activities so that people would not be at loss. And equality rose out of a sence of morality. Ie. Right and wrong. Right and wrong rose out of a need of mental stability, peace of mind and lastly happiness. What did happiness arise out of? Frankly, i have no answer. And to this, we reach a dead end. I don’t know what lies ahead, I tried racking my brains enough, But no connection further.
So, it’s crazy how one thing connects with another. There’s this other philosophical theory called the butterfly effect. Long story short, it says that every single action you take, has a reaction in the future that would potentially alter the course of the future. Example: you smacking a mosquito could save a child from being kidnapped. Crazy right? Like, mosquito, and the child being kidnapped are two things aren’t even connected in any way, how could they affect each other?
But there are infinite things that seem minute but have the ability to alter the intended outcome. Maybe that mosquito if not smacked would bite someone and they’d get malaria and die from it. That dead person would have kids who would not grow up parent-less, abandoned by society. This would make them lose their sence of right and wrong over doing anything just to feed themselves and earn money, and in turn, turn to doing criminal activities such as murder, arson and kidnapping. You know? It’s weird how anything can happen. Butterfly theory. So in conclusion, everything is interconnected. You farting in a lift full of people could very much be the reason a person discovers the cure for cancer, so in short. Let that fart rip. Okay but enough of straying off the topic.
In conclusion, i can say that the mother of biology, physics, chemistry, mathematics, philosophy, is man’s need for happiness. As crazy as it sounds everything is interconnected. Every one is interconnected. As they say in Sanskrit, Vasudeva Kutumbakam. “The world is my family”.
