It is said that the only ‘Constant’ in this world is ‘Change’.
Language, customs, culture, rules, people, and just about everything
changes with time.
On a similar lines, I wonder if the only ‘Certainty’ about life is its ‘Uncertainty’.
Constant about Change. Certainty about Uncertainty.
A sportsperson, Philip Hughes from Australia dies on the
Cricket field after being hit by a cricket ball. Till that moment no one had ever
thought or imagined that someone could die like that on a Cricket field.
It was reported later that had the ball struck a millimeter here
or there, he would probably have been saved. Why did it happen to him? Why did
it happen to anyone for that matter?
No one knows.
MH 370 simply vanishes from this world and notwithstanding
the numerous conjectures, no can say for sure what happened to it. Did someone
shoot it? Did someone kidnap it?
No one knows.
Nepal, India, and surroundings are rocked by an earth quake.
They are rattled with another earth quake, albeit of a lighter intensity the
next day. Will there be more? When will be the next quake? Where will be the
next quake? Why did those people die? Why are so many people suffering?
No one knows.
As school children, we are exposed to so many subjects in
school. One of them is Science. As students of science we often tend to believe
(or are made to believe) that there has to be some ‘rationale’ or ‘logic’ or ‘scientific
explanation’ for everything.
Science can explain everything. Or can it?
