Gravity of interconnectedness.

A Book about gravity.

I was reading a book about gravity out of curiosity. And it was heavy with assumptions, axioms, theorems and laws. I could feel the book being heavier each passing page that I attempted reading it. Maybe gravity has hidden pull on the book! So, I decided to skim and tackle the book differently by going through the index and finding what is interesting to my humanly brain. And to my surprise there were lot of things which made the book an example to illustrate the interconnectedness. Following is a list of several random topics the book of gravity connected with.

List of keywords gravity interconnected.

Charles Darwin.

KFC

Pythagoras

Shakespeare

Apple Computer

rainbows

Surrealism

West Africa

Indian Number system.

This is just a sample. A tip of the iceberg. It is true a topic like gravity is mainly connected to physics astronomy and mechanics. Yet, above list proves that even Shakespeare and KFC is connected to gravity somehow. It made me wonder, is there anything in this world isolated? Isn't everything is connected to everything else; how much space and time separates them from each other? Given enough time and space, between things, wouldn't be the future of the universe decided by a grain of sand which happened to stumble over with some sudden wind?

The gravity of interconnectedness.

Study of maps is a fascinating subject, that there is a separate Math developed around this. Its not just geographical, even maps are made to describe behavior of internet, weather, economics, London underground. If there is any system with complex interactions, we can represent these by maps. Similarly, we can consider the nature, a giant interconnected map. There may be a thousand steps which brings an arctic penguin connected to an Antarctic sea lion. Nevertheless, there are meaningful connections. Instead, being consisted with separate entities, universe such can be considered universally interconnected flux of matter. A gigantic soup of fluctuation, like a weather map, if we make the reel run faster a million times of normal speed, we might just see every big rock dissolve into dust and process repeat itself.

Interconnectedness has more gravity than gravity itself in the way we look at the world. It totally makes sense. For a fact that I am not isolated from the rest of the world. My existence is constantly reassured and constantly challenged by the environment. Not because it is particularly angry with my existence or it has an opinion on this. Only because, my erroneous thinking pattern which tries to separately identify it from this gigantic eternal flux. And the flux which happens without anyone's opinion, will determine the future of me and countless others. In the short term, this is not going to do anything. As I will still carry on like a willful selfish individual in a struggle of survival. But in the long-term, mind has opportunity to understand the absurdity of it. Isn't it liberating to know that none of the seriousness that we think exist are just makings of our own minds?
