Our World, Entropy and Heisenberg

When I think about today's world, one thing that comes to my mind is Entropy. I have fading memories of my chemistry classes in school and remember that entropy of the universe always tends to increase over time. So the molecules from a position of tight coupling will try to move away from each other to a loosely coupled state depending on temperature changes as ice melts to water. We humans too are a part of this universe and I wonder that this law of chemistry has something to do with the face of today's world. We also tend to move from an organized state to an unorganized state. From civilization to uncivilization. Look at North Korea, Iraq, Iran, Palestine, Israel, Afghanistan, Lebanon, US, UK, India, Pakistan, Russia -- doesnt it seem that
the entropy is increasing? Some of these nations are part of that chemical reaction, some are products and some are catalysts (which dont take part in the reaction but help it).

On a brighter side, some of us did understand the importance of how to keep the ice as ice - by controlling the temperature. There are good things happening around the world too. Human quest and conscience has taught us the importance of being civilized, of being organized, of research and development.

So both processes are going on simultaneously. And as Heisenberg's uncertainty principle said that some things have an unavoidable uncertainty -- we will never be sure which process will win ultimately.

Mr. Manjrekar

I have spent many nights watching India play Pakistan or some other country. Sadly, here in US, I always would have to listen to the commentary of Sanjay Manjrekar and Rameej Raja. People staying in India were lucky not to listen to them. Rameej Raja wont say a word against the Pakistani team and Manjrekar wont say a word in favor of Indian team. So it was brutal. I always wanted to say something about Manjrekar but thought he was not worthy, however, he has now forced me to dedicate a blog to him (may be that was his aim -- to gain publicity) by saying that Sachin Tendulkar faked injuries due to fear of failing. On a cloudy day, you dont blame the sun for not shining for the fear of facing the world. Question his form, question his ability to play like earlier but please never doubt the heart of a true champion.
