Eigen states and Nation states

Going down the memory lane, a few days, weeks, months, years and behold, I can even say decades! , I am that old now! , the search for my very own quantum eigenvalues seems to be deep and still going deeper. The rabbit hole is deep. Grade points ran over my mind when in my first year undergrad my ultra genius math teacher was trying to solve  matrix eigen values and amazement clouded my mind when I witnessed Toby Macguire as Spiderman spontaneously spurt out eigen states of electronic levels as 1,2 and 3.

And then out of nowhere, the quantum zeno effect made me go back, look up on the practical values of these so far abstract ideas. I wonder why there are always so many complex terms for one simple idea.  

These eigen states swing back and forth and that is why history still affects us.  A quick extrapolation of the patterns of eigen values can take us Back to the Future. Rolling back and running forth, I always see among many other things, the Hanna Barbara – Fred Quimby creation, The Tom and Jerry stuff. That is the virtual extension of the quantum zeno effect. That is probably the arrow whose mass does not change. The ingenious cat-mouse rivalry was not just a cartoon for me as a kid but it was the greatest source of entertainment in the days when there was no cricket on TV or when it was raining outside the house.

Running forth, I see that even if that kind of rivalry is by birth yet it gets manipulated when there is a common enemy to fight, Spike or the rivalry is bent on manipulating spike. I am starting to have doubts whether, cats, mice and dogs have such abilities. However, this is the essence on which human brain works. This is exactly the way the nation states are being run today.

The recent comments by British Prime Minister David Cameron and US Sec. of State Hillary Clinton have sparked enough fire and strained their relationships with Pakistan. The double game played by Pakistan on the Afghan Taliban front is slowly being spelt by the so called strong allies of Pakistan.

With one hand, Pakistan has been receiving billions of dollars from the US for fighting the Taliban while with the other hand; it has been protecting the Al-Qaeda leaders.  However, the real motives of the nation as a whole are not clearly evident: Is it for placating/ satisfying all sides or the indecisiveness on which side to choose and stay. For a nation so big and running high on a stubborn stand against India, these cannot be true. That leaves us only with one option: The Double Game.  With the recent comments from its close and strong western allies and the hue and cry from the Taliban about how their trusty neighbors are playing double game with them, it is not really far when everyone will be able to see the snake under cow skin.

After all this, what matters is what you choose to see and what you do when find out the reality. Ignoring the imminent reality only makes the future real worse. 

The experts in playing the double game don’t go a long way because that is a very short phenomenon.  There is no eigen value because, not only the magnitude but the direction of the vector also changes. Only as long as they can run their truck on the back of their innocent and naïve allies, the double gamers can continue to cherish and only as long as the pain does not start to show its effect or as long as the allies choose to ignore the nature of the double game. The already unsteady nation of Afghanistan and the powerful countries like the US and UK could affect the weak nation in any way they want because the former has nothing to lose and the later are too strong to lose anything.

India however has its own share of troubles with each political party playing the cat and mouse game to get the vote banks.  A, B, C are the central parties and D, E, F are regional parties. Each central party chooses a regional ally. However, A and B are allies in one state and arch rivals in the next. The parties are running very low in ideals. Opportunism, nepotism, manipulation are running high. 

There are plenty of ways the double gamers play it in India because they have lots of host reasons to cling and multiply: Languages, cultures, castes, resources, religions, poverty, education, loads of superstition, a lot of innocence and guilelessness and what not.

The only big common factor in India is Hinduism. But this is vast and anything that does not come under the premise of any organized religion falls under Hinduism. The wingers of Hinduism forget the beauty of the religion as a whole and try to thrust it on others when they themselves cannot make out what the religion and its tenets stand for. To be very practical, it became a religion in the very recent past and religion is a misnomer. It is just a way of living. 

Every religion I come across is just too beautiful. All these religions amaze me. The time and situation at which these religions emerged and the shape they have taken now, the metamorphosis that they have gone through just shakes my mind.  The beautiful minds behind these religions are a constant source of admiration and inspiration for me.  We should appreciate the religions because I strongly believe that they are results of the creative energy and brilliance of human minds.  They should be preserved in museums and the concoction must be studied and then later put to practice after the removal of rogue elements which are the results of time.  

Advaita attracts me now.  तत् त्वं असि II

Atleast now!! That relates to pretty much the quanta itself.

Shankara’s philosophy to explain Mahendra seems to make sense now for me but I do not know for how long. But Mahendra’s captaincy doesn’t seem to get any better result for the most inconsistent cricket team. A loss by 200 and their counterparts loosing in a similar way against England doesn’t come as a surprise. When God does not play for the nation, the nation sinks. But for how long can he play?

The quote I enjoyed recently, “Reducing the number of atheists in India since 1989: Sachin Tendulkar”. This guy will replace the “Arrow” as the explanation for the quantum zeno effect, over a long enough period on a macroscopic level………..hmmmmmmm…….
