Every child is special
The other day we watched “Taare Zameen Par” (Stars on Earth), a new hindi movie. An enlightening film to say the least. A must watch for all ages!
One of the songs, “Maa” (Mom/Mother), is touching with its simple yet beautiful lyrics. It almost seems like words out of a childs heart.
Main kabhi batlata nahin
Par andhere se darta hoon main maa
Yun to main, dikhlata nahin
Teri parwaah karta hoon main maa
Tujhe sab hain pata, hain na maa
Tujhe sab hain pata, meri maa
You can listen to the song here, watch it here, and read the lyrics here (in both hindi and english).
What is the universe computing?
Over the years, it has been debated in the meta-popular culture that we might be living in a simulation. I wrote about this “Matrixical” notion earlier. And again, Seth Lloyd from MIT, asserts that the universe is a computer.
So if the universe is a computer, what is it computing? Its own evolution, apparently, according to the laws of physics. That might not be too obscure actually, because the most general definition of the term “computer” would be “a system that takes a set of input and deterministically produces a set of output.”
Overhead, without any fuss, the stars were going out. What do you reckon?
