Exactly why our world works in Maths?

It still seems quite mystical to me that mathematics can describe the world in which we live.

Some people (whom I have met online) have mentioned that there's no deep meaning to maths in sciences. Science is about rationalism and mathematics is the best tool for logic. Hence the correspondence.

But, I think it goes deeper than that. Wigner mentions in this article that Heisenberg's matrix mechanics worked for lowest energy level of helium atom. No one knows why - matrix mechanics was developed keeping hydrogen atom in mind.

No one knows why our universe follows mathematical rules. Who(or what) is behind them.

It might be the case that mathematics and physics are highly crafted bullshit. But as for now, this possibility is highly unlikely. Mathematical laws provide too accurate descriptions of the things we are able to observe.

So, I think the question is still in philosophical domain. Maybe many years from now, when humans have developed far better understanding of the universe, the questions will be answered. It might also be possible that the questions remain unanswered.

And, this brings us to another question. Will these questions ever stop? Can 'whys' and 'hows' stop someday?

If yes, then who or what is at the pinnacle of all knowledge and everything that is there to be known?

If no - well sorry, I don't even know what this situation means.

Both the possibilities are nerve-chilling.

The Pale Blue Dot

 The Pale Blue Dot is a photograph of our planet  taken on February 14, 1990 by Voyager I from a distance of about 6 billion kilometers. It went to become one of the most powerful photographs in the history of mankind.

If you look closely at the yellow streak on the right side of the picture, you will notice a faint little blue speck. Yes, that's where we live. Our only home. Earth.

It is where we humans evolved. Where we created our civilization. Here is where we fought wars, sought love, wrote books, composed poems, created music, made friends, killed enemies and practiced religion. All of that in one tiny pixel.

Every human has lived and died on that tiny blue dot.

All those fighting done over lands, money or who is right appears senseless in the vast cosmic perspective. We can see no countries from over there. No boundaries. No religion. No caste. No gender. Not even a single human out of those 7 billion (and counting).

The photograph forces us to think where we are headed. Are we doing a good job as a civilization? Are we kind and respectful to each other? Are we moving towards making our world a better place?

It has been 25 years since that photograph was taken. They say a picture is worth a thousand words. But, what is the word count of one containing all the humans who ever lived? And, that too at a single point?

What have you done to make our Earth a better place? How do you think we can become good human beings? Please share your answers and thoughts in the comments.

An Internet Rant - the first of many to come.

On the internet, I feel that majority of Indians are generally rude and incapable of "Be polite" and "Don't attack people" policies. 

I have discoursed with Slovakians, Israelis, Americans, Britishers and Russians. I found out that they were superbly nice even when they were opposed to what I was suggesting. Some of them were high school students, and their maturity floored me. They were always focused on ideas and not on the person who was expressing them.

And, their communicating style was radically different. They didn't use one-liners and stupid remarks which they thought were cool. They never let me feel that I was not wanted in the conversation and I was already wrong.

Even when I was not debating and wanted some information or clarification, they were quite forward(and nice!) in making me understand and providing me with references.

Maybe conformity bias and my online circle has forced me to draw this conclusion.

What are your thoughts?

Is it true - yes, then why ?
If no - then why I went through this experience?
