Humanity and The Loss of It.

You see it in movies every day, that when the world turns to shit, humanity do what they believe is the best way to survive and that often leads to the destruction of other human beings. This is because as a human being the most important thing to them is to protect what is dearest to them and that is themselves and their families. But what if that person has no love for themselves and no family to look out for? They are the most dangerous of all. They are the people that you must make sure that, when the most uncontrollable of disasters comes, they are not the ones choosing who lives and who dies. These people will choose who they believe are the greatest of a group of individuals without considering the most important factor. You see these people would choose the strong, the brave, the beautiful and the smart, but they will never consider the humane, the kind or the selfless. It is the people that the callous leaders would choose that would lead our race into extinction because they do not have these most important of human traits. They don't have the humanity to see their own faults or the kindness or selflessness to think that the others might need the resources that are available to them because in their opinion they are the most important people alive because they were chosen by their 'Oh Great Leaders'. It will be in that Greed that would lead to the world being separated and humanity forced into factions, wars being raged and humanity running itself into the ground. You see, without people like preachers keeping half the world pacifistic humanity would just wipe themselves out in mere years. Preachers, though i myself do not believe in any deity, are important no matter what religion they preach. Whether it be Christianity, Judaism, any Islamic religions or any other religion, they are all important in their own ways and they are all, if they are studied deeply, near enough identical.

Whilst I am on the subject of religion, I would like to send a message (if there are any that read this) to those that protest against anything that happens in this country like our laws or our soldiers. If you live in this country, whether you agree with them or not, you follow our laws you do not have them changed to suit you. You respect the people who fight to give you a place that is nice enough for you to want to live not kill them on the streets. Finally, if you wish to be accepted by the general public in this country, do three things. 1. Learn our language and speak it wherever you are (besides inside your own home) so say if you are walking down our streets on your phone, speak English, not whatever language you speak in your country. 2. DO NOT TRY AND CLAIM OUR BENEFITS UNLESS YOU CAN SPEAK FLUENT ENGLISH OR HAVE THE WISH TO SPEAK FLUENT ENGLISH. 3. Do not try and change our country to suit you, we are English, we do not wear head masks simply to please you, we drink alcohol no matter what day it is and we can show off as much of our bodies (provided we keep our genitals covered) as we so please. I am not racist, I respect your right to religion but you must respect our right to live how we have for centuries and not force us to live like you.

Chaos

I have just read about the Chaos Theory, which explains that even though the initial state of events may seem unrelated and random, eventually patterns emerge and in the end all the pieces fit together. So basically no matter how random life seems there is always a way to predict what is going to happen.

All theories that I read about seem to interest me, like the Schrodinger's Cat Paradox. In which Erwin Schrodinger locked a cat inside an air proof chamber for an hour with a small source of radiation and a radiation sensor that at a random point (determined by a computer or just generally at random) during the hour will be activated smashing a vial of poison killing the cat. This is a paradox because until the hour is up and someone looks to see that the cat is dead, that cat is simultaneously alive and dead, thus posing the question of when quantum superposition ends and reality collapses into either of the set events. This actually can be solved using a simple de-randomisation formula, which would allow you to calculate when the radiation kicks in and the vial of poison is smashed, thus giving you a rough estimate of when the cat would have been subjected to the poison. Then when you add the amount of time that it would take for the poison to kill the cat to when the cat would have first been first subjected to the poison you will find the rough time during said hour that the cat died.

The Schrodinger's Cat Paradox can be applied in life as shown (in a rather archaic form) in The Big Bang Theory (TV Series), by simply saying that you don't know whether something is one way or another if you don't check first.

This... is what happens when I can't sleep.

The Looper Paradox

Now, I know this isn't my usual kind of thing that i post about but it really does get to me when time travel is misconstrued. (May contain spoilers... in fact... there are spoilers... so... **SPOILERS**)

In the film the main characters future self gets sent back in time to be killed by himself, Thus freeing the main character and creating a Self Exterminating Loop. The future version escapes and embarks on the task of killing a child who would grow to become the 'Rainmaker', a cruel head of mafia in the future, in the hopes that this will spare the life of his future wife that is murdered on the order to close the loop (sending Bruce Willis' character back in time). In order to prevent himself from killing his now love interest and causing the rainmaker to become yet more vindictive, he decides to shoot himself (i mean his actual self not his future self... keep up). This removes his future self from coming back in time... the only issue i see here is that, NO, this would actually void the entire film up to the point that the future version of himself gets sent back and in turn would cause every single event of the film to happen all over again, either that or it would tear a massive hole in the time-space continuum due to an massive un-repairable paradox. so this leaves me with no choice but to say a famous quote about time... WIBBLY WOBBLY TIME-Y WHIMEY.
