I’m a person housing two personalities in a single body: I come to have a strong fascination with science, especially physics, and from the different vantage point I am tantalized by the doctrines of philosophy. On one hand, I have a world of facts, explanation and hypothesis and on the other I have a world of pure imagination and something more humane than biology itself. But it is not the distinction between the two that intrigue me, but the correspondence between them.
I was fifteen-committed to the fact that science is the ultimate reality– when I read about “The Starry Night” by Vincent Van Gough for the first time, it appeared to me as mellow work, but as I read about-how it had broken the contemporary style of romanticism to create something more realistic and more natural or how had made a very accurate mathematical conjecture about the turbulent motion of the cloud, I realized it was something more than a just painting it was science itself. Then voilà my love for philosophy was born.
Whether it was about space with all the stars and planets revolving around or about the atoms with electron and quarks, I could not help but juxtapose it with the philosophy of Bhavgwat Gita. Not just in pure science, but also in social science I could see the resemblance to the work of some philosopher. I recall comparing the theory of evolution with Hegel’s dialect-ism, which was my very sole idea, and I was very proud of it.
And it’s not just the philosophy that fuels me, but also the art. And since the whole idea of art is established upon the sense that we possess, I believe the relation between them, art and science, is inevitable. Like how the background of the Leonardo da Vinci’s “Mona Lisa” creates an optical illusion making the painting more proposing and considering the fact that Leonardo da Vinci was also a scientist it is obvious that there has to be science as a special ingredient for the magnum opus it is today. The same thing is in the music. Whether be the meticulously crafted “Good vibration” or the raw energy of “Trout Mask replica” they had a very distinct odor of science and I loved it.
At this point I assume the person reading this might be saying, “Man, this guy has to be the biggest nerd, I have ever seen” and that is alright with me. The facts and stories cannot even faintly describe the love and interest I have for both philosophy and science. All the cognitive thoughts that I have built up till this stage have something to do with them. I believe in them, it gives me hope, and as I get to acknowledge about them even more it fills me with immense pleasure. And that is exactly what I want to do. Mix the idea of fantasy and reality to create something much more compelling and something that will be held among my idols works ergo change the world like them; I believe I can and I will change the world, with the help of my closest friends: Science and Philosophy.
