Brindha had posted a comment on my blog today. The first thought that came to mind while reading her posting was WOW! Brindha, it is a brilliant piece and so well written. By the way, Brindha is a brilliant – which I’m sure you had guessed after reading her comments – teenager. She had sent me an SMS this morning on how much she liked my blog. Thank you, Brindha.
Brindha made an interesting observation that, we might just be another form of energy. So on the list of electrical, chemical, kinetic, mechanical, heat and potential energy; Brindha says, we might be an undiscovered/unexplored energy - she calls it Jivan Energy:-) Brindha is nudging me forward on my journey within with this new proposition – I am the Energy.
Let’s analyse this using electricity. We know electricity is formed when electrons move between atoms…is that right? (trying to jog my memory on what my science teacher had said back then). Anyway, the human body is also made up of protons, neutrons and electrons; and these electrons moving between atoms should produce energy. So, I produce energy but am I the energy itself?
I was attending a study circle – more on this latter – a couple of weeks back and my friend, Krish had mentioned about the Heisenberg Principle. Heisenberg won the noble prize in physics in 1932. Heisenberg says that an atom consists of protons, neutrons and electrons; and breaking it down further will reveal subatomic particles. However, ultimately a point is reached where the atom cannot be broken down any further. What becomes of the atom? According to Heisenberg, nothing will remain of the atoms but the observer becomes part of the observed system. Simply put, even when the atoms are no more, “I” will still be there observing the experiment.
My point is in order to create energy you must have atoms. But atoms can be broken down into nothingness. No atoms = No energy…….So, it looks like the latest proposition – I am the energy – also goes out the window.
So I am neither matter nor energy. Ummm……. still searching for that elusive self.
My journey within continues……walk with me.

Am I the Energy?

hey! This is the first time in my entire life I have seen the time which is 11.11. Number 1 is my lucky number!4 is not though!Anyway,
If any atom breaks down till it reaches a sub-atomic form, isn't it still an atom? it does not disintegrate right? (This is physics, I have not learnt this...till next year). So, can atoms be destroyed, can it reach a level of absolute nothingness? sorry got to ask you bout science first.
p.s. do check out my blog-it might be linked to my name in this comment. your link is there also. the blog is almost ready, so got a bit more to go. Iam supporting WWF in a contest for UNESCO.
I think atoms are not the in thing today folks! I am...this empty shell with a little white soul travelling through me in form of a little speck, sometimes having a smile on a nonexstent face and sometimes a scowl. When I shut my eyes, I can travel in my shell, moving my white speck through my body to where ever i want it to go. When i am alone, I speak to my little white speck. NOw that is scary isn't it? well thats the shallowest explanation I have, but wait till my next phase of bloggin for more scary stuffs! i will move you in depth then.
Hi, I'm first time visiting your web. Its interesting. Commenting on splitting the atom creates tremendous energy that is the nuclear energy. What is beyond the atom I guess is nothing. Like energy, when energy moves it becomes kinetic (Latin for move) and when a ball is still it has potential energy. Potential energy is transformed into kinetic energy when a ball moves. Potential energy is like silence. Sound starts from silence, the beings came about from nothing! Why do we need to look into this aspect? This is not very necessary. Why? Becuase we fall into a maya (an imagination?) of the source which we know very little of. Talk about your self, your breath, your being now. Are you aware of your surroundings, are you aware of the smell of rain, the pain in your back, the mosquito that bit your ankle? How aware are we of now? Why is now important? Because its the making of us. Like Rudyard Kipling wrote in his poem, 'If', if you understand this the earth will be your or something like that.
I like your blog.
Cheers. Suguna
