Time is circular!

I've heard this phrase today-  "Time is like a river, but the river is circular" in a rather popular show- ' Da Vinci's Demons ' which left me thinking... What if this is really true? Now, this hypothesis seems really far fetched, and as a fan of 'Doctor Who' , it doesn't hold much weight being typed by my hands . I'd say neither did it hold much weight in my mind until! I decided to delve into some metaphysics , and then this happened & the thought became worthy of the blog! Facts & Observations:  Electron revolves around the nucleus, Earth around the Sun... Basically, everything is revolving around something where nothing is at rest or at motion in this universe! Time and space are relative due to the efforts of Einstein, which is the basic fundamental in explaining how time travel, warp speeds, worm holes, and the T.A.R.D.I.S works(though they might be a little far-fetched). Moon moves 4cm away from Earth each year, i.e...

Brain? Knowledge Graph?.. Can this be..?

I still remember the day I first saw the video about Google's new 'Knowledge Graph'. The concept was as amazing as it was simple. For those who don't know what it is yet.. see this video. Now after watching it, an epiphany came to me.. that maybe this is how our brain works!!!! This was a pretty awesome idea.. so I needed something to convince myself.. and here's what points thought of to prove this fact- Think of every event or object as a node in this knowledge graph. So there you get millions of nodes interconnected in this weird 3D structure. Now lets see you want to remember what you did yesterday- What you'd do is go to yesterday's node and start travelling to the today's node from there.. the way would illuminate what you did! and that's pretty easy to remember as it was recent. So what about like a year ago? To overcome this hurdle, I took the paths i.e. line connecting 2 nodes as a line drawn in a desert or mountain or whatever....

God- The concept!

  Cima da Conegliano, God the Father In ancient times, people of great wisdom came together, and made up the concept of  God. Now you must think, Why? I have once had an epiphany about it. Then  I heard and read in many other religions that man is said to be made in  the image of god, or made by god to rule over all its subjects. I thought, as they say about history, that its written by victors.. In this scenario, these scholars, people with great wisdom are the victors.. Humans are the victors.. Victors of their minds, beliefs and everything Just  think, we, the people, have consciousness.. we can think for ourselves,  ask questions, try to understand stuff.. but when there is something we  can't understand.. What do we do? We somehow relate it with God, and  are done with it until we are ready to understand at a later time. Before the concept of God, what do you think people did? They  ask those great people these questions like- W...
