B Since I have grown in patience

Thanks to them,
To them its first fruits I should give,
For of my patience they have been the cause.

I ' is bad, who makes me addicted to kamini-kanchana, who makes me a family in me. There is a difference between creatures and souls, because this 'I' is in the middle. If a stick can be thrown on the water, it shows two parts. In fact, one water; the stick shows two. ′′

′′ The ego is the stick. Pick up the stick, that one water will remain. ′′

′′ Bajjat who is 'I'? Who says ' I ', doesn't know ' me '? I have so much money, who is richer than me? If a thief has stolen ten taka, first he snatches money, then he beats the thief a lot; even then he doesn't leave it, calls the watchman to the police and expires, says ' Bajjat I ', don't know - he has taken my ten taka! Such a big touch!"

' Ego ' goes away by becoming the grave of two people, but almost doesn't. Judge a thousand times, 'Ego' comes back and comes back. Cut the Ashwaththa tree today, tomorrow morning again see the fekri has come out. If ' I ' don't go alone, let's be ' slave me '. ' Oh my God! You are Lord, I am slave ' stay this way. ' I am a slave ', ' I am a devotee ' such as ' I am not faulty '; Eating sweets makes you omeleon, but not in sweets. ′′

′′ Knowledge is very difficult. You don't get knowledge if you don't have physical intelligence. In the Kaliyug, food-mindedness, ego cannot go away. That's why devotional yoga on behalf of Kaliyug. The path of devotion is the easy way. Worship Him with sincere passion, pray, you will receive the Lord, no doubt. ′′

′′ As a line cut without bamboo on the water sign. As if two parts of water. The lines don't last long anymore. ' I am a slave ', what ' I am of a fan ', what ' I am of a boy ' - they are like ' Amir Rekha '. ′′

Biology is not physics

June 19, 2021 by Josh Mitteldorf

You’ve found the spark that makes the sun burn bright
and tracked the orbits of the distant stars.
You’ve harnessed energy for planes and cars—
success convinces you you’ve got it right.

You think the rule of physics must be strict,
yet only in the aggregate do maths
apply to living things. Their single paths
take twists and turns that you cannot predict.

Man’s thirst for knowledge never can be quenched
while minds refuse to grant the role of mind
that regulates the quantum. You won’t find
broad truth while narrow physics is entrenched.

What sort of science would it take to know
how neurons fire, hearts beat, and grasses grow?

In physics, heat is a form of energy, made up of the random movements and collisions of molecules as they bounce off each other at the nanoscale. Much of the world’s energy is tied up as heat. Although it sounds like something that just wobbles around in the background as other factors take centre stage, it actually plays a crucial role in making some of the most interesting kinds of behaviour possible. In particular, we’ll see that heat and time are bound together in an intricate dance, and the release of heat is what stops time going backwards.

################

Some things in the world seem reversible: I can kick a ball upward and it will rise, or I can drop a ball from a height, and it will fall. Putting it this way just seems like common sense, but it turns out that this pairing of dynamical trajectories, where one path looks like the time-reversed movie of the other, is a symmetry built into the basic mathematical structure of Newton’s laws. Anything that can go one way can go the other, if you just set it moving back the way it came. As a consequence, the most ‘normal’ thing in physics would be for events to be able to reverse themselves in time, just like the ball that goes up and then down.

In a rigorous, quantitative sense, the dissipation of heat is the price we pay for the arrow of time

By applying some basic assumptions, he was able to mathematically prove the following. If you have a system (a piece of wood or a plant, for example) surrounded by a ‘bath’ of randomly jiggling particles (say, the atmosphere), the more heat the system releases into its bath, the less likely it is to rewind itself. In a rigorous, quantitative sense, the dissipation of heat is the price we pay for the arrow of time.

##############

Another way of phrasing this insight is to note that the more a system increases the entropy of its surroundings, the more irreversible it becomes. Now, it must be said that in the grand contest for the most misunderstood idea in the history of physics, entropy is probably the winner. Even people who are normally averse to any mention of the natural sciences will sagely volunteer that entropy – read: messiness, dysfunction, chaos, disorder, who knows? – must increase, all the time. It’s the second law of thermodynamics, obviously. But this simple picture can’t be right. Living organisms, for one, seem to defy this misleading gloss on the second law. They take disorganised bits and pieces of matter, and put them together in fiendishly complex and refined ways.

###################

Life is superb at capturing energy through work. Growing a plant means doing work on it, no less than when we put shoulder to yoke and drag a cart up a hill. In these situations the conservation of energy required by Newton’s laws implies one of two things: either all the energy put in as work stays stored in the system, like the compressed spring in a Jack-in-the-box; or else it’s released into the surroundings as heat. Recall, too, what we said before about the release of heat and time-reversal symmetry. So the question of how much work gets done, and when, makes all the difference to which events are more or less likely in the movie we’re watching.
