    Irrational numbers are just theoretical constructions. Physical measurements cannot be irrational. Any measurement can be done till the resolution of plank units only. So you can never get irrational measurements. So a quantized universe (quantization being in terms of plank units) cannot allow irrational numbers.

    @sarkar : agreed
    but then what about e n pi .... they are very basic to our mathematics ... is it to say that our mathematics is based on mere theoretical hypothesis

    well the length of any stick cannot be pi or e. physics deals with physical realities/measurements. irrational numbers do no exists in physical reality simply because no device can measure an irrational number. that is because such a measurement requires an infinite resolution of unit. and that is not possible in a quantized universe where there is a lower limit in resolution i.e. the plank units.

    in simple terms because irrational no. or ratinal no. are real things in an abstract mathematical structure with closure property(of course this is so because it's constructed this way)

    Our real words doesn't allow even the rationals because our faculty of observation is bound by uncertainty principle.

I Smell Gold : This time it's personal

Won my first individual event ever in college. Since no one else was blowing my horn, decided to do that myself. So here is my gold winning speech :) Since you might get bored half way through the speech, let me thank the people who need to be thanked right now itself: Apurva, Myth, Zoo, Xar, Kamra, Harsha and even Bishnoi :) Motion: Increasing national security and surveillance is a cosmetic response to any extremist activity in a democratic and tolerant society . :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: Let me start with a very clichéd “Picture this”. I am a 7 year old boy and I behave like any 7 year old does. I hate milk and I throw a tantrum when I see a glass full of that filthy white thing. As a seven year old I probably don’t know the words tantrum and filthy, but this ignorance does not save me from the wrath of my father. He takes less than 45 seconds to get that milk down my throat. I certainly don’t like it. Thankfully, sometime later my mother explains to me why I need that milk if

The practical dSLR buying guide

If you are planning to buy a dSLR, here are the steps that you should follow. The first rule of buying a dSLR is do not buy a dSLR. The second rule of buying a dSLR is do NOT buy a dSLR. Seriously! You may think that you are ready, that you know what you are getting into. But trust me, you are not. dSLRs are not just cameras, they are relationships. And like any relationship they have to be maintained – they require time, money and effort. And much like that rebound you regretted getting into, at some point you will regret this. These things are big, bulky, heavy and conspicuous – you will probably require a separate bag when you are packing for a trip, you will have to sacrifice underwear or deodorant (or both) on that hike, the strangers would glare at you as they would at a monkey with a camera (which you most likely end up looking like anyway), and everyone will expect each frame you click to be poetry frozen in time. You can’t carry them to the local pub; you can’t dan

High Heels by Yo Yo Honey Singh - Kavi Parichay evam Bhavarth

हाई हील्स - द्वारा श्री यो यो हनी सिंह कवि परिचय एवं भावार्थ इस भावार्थ को मेरे स्वर में सुनने के लिए नीचे क्लिक करें: https://soundcloud.com/kumar-ritwik/high-heels-kavi-parichay-evam-bhavarth उक्त कविता महाकवि श्री यो यो हनी सिंह के प्रतिनिधि काव्यों में से एक है । इन पंक्तियों में कवि एक युवती को सम्बोधित करते हुए अपने विचार व्यक्त कर रहे हैं । श्री यो यो हनी सिंह जी का जन्म पंजाब प्रांत के होशियारपुर गाँव में हुआ था और उनके माता-पिता ने उनका नाम हिरदेश सिंह रखा था । साहित्य की दुनिया में कदम रखने पर उन्होंने "हनी सिंह" के उपनाम को अपनाया और अपने दोनों नामों को चरितार्थ करते हुए ऐसी कविताओं की रचना की जो मधुर होने के साथ-साथ हृदय भेदी भी हैं । यो यो जो की रचनाओं में कुछ विषय-वस्तु  बारम्बार ही उजागर होते हैं । ऐसी ही एक मौलिक विचारधारा है कवि की नारी-समाज से रु-ब-रु होने की कोशिश। चाहे वह "ब्राउन रंग" के द्वारा समाज के सौंदर्य के आयामों पर कटाक्ष हो, या फिर "अंग्रेजी बीट" और "बेबो" में नारी स्वछँदता की अभिव्यक्ति। यो यो जी अपन
