Monads and Moguls.

Another year's gone. September 10th was the day I was born 27 years ago. Till now, I couldn't decipher the reason for my existence. To this end I have an interesting thought. People are born, they live and then perish. Why isn't their lives not deterministic? Why the rules of physics not applicable to them? In other words why can't we predict people's future?
In physics also, we try to predict the future. The future of the very simple and fundamental. When we deal with simple objects, what we are essentially doing is - keeping track of information. For example, when we consider the motion of a planet the necessary information we need to predict its future in time is, its mass, radius, velocity and its initial position. When it comes to a star, then we need to consider it's internal composition, time of its birth etc. - adding more information. Physics deals with the rudiments of the material world. From here on whatever I write - they are only my personal views.

Let's come to the fundamental question? How do you distinguish between an entity which has life and object which is lifeless? According to me its all about information density. If we add more and more information to an object then there should be a point in space-time where the lifeless object should transform to a life form (a subject!). As the information density increases the subject can even go to the extent of seeing objects which doesn't have any objective reality! I know this is a crazy idea. I tried to go through some of the holy books to see what they had to say. Unfortunately and as expected every scripture and holy book skirts the point but doesn't narrow down to the point. The point is why, what and who determines this cutoff? Is there a scope of any God here? Any assumed logical argument which concludes with the existence of a God is called Cosmological argument by philosophers. Leibniz had his Monodology in place. God is Great!

I was in Fayettville, AR last week to meet some of my friends. As usual, first I went to the bar, then to the strip bar. The former for entertainment and the later for enlightenment. Finally I am back here doing what I like the most - Cosmology.
