Synchronicities

This is a list of coincidences I made since I have started noticing them from 2008.Recording for research purposes, and sharing to the public to hear about similar stories.

1. Me and my two friends were on a leisure trip. While we were relaxing, we happened to talk about snakes for a short duration. We talked first about king cobra and then about black mamba. Later that day we went to one of my friends’ home to stay for the night. There I saw The Hindu news paper with an unusually large article about Black Mamba.

2. Me and my roommates were going for lunch one day. We started talking about a Malayalam(a south indian language) movie actress named Sharmila and her relationship with Babu Antony another actor. Then when we came back and I turned on the TV and the first scene showed a movie with Babu Antony and Sharmila as actors. Note: these two actors are not common in TV screens or movies since long.

3. I was sitting on the balcony of our rented house on a cloudy day. I was in an ecstatic mood and I was staring at a particular point in the sky, smoking a cigarette. I was expecting to see something interesting there. And suddenly a meteorite shot through the sky for an unusually persistent duration and unusually close. But I was not surprised. It even gave me a feeling that I am hallucinating.

4. The 11:11 phenomenon : I started reading about 11:11 from a website called crystalinks.com( I don’t remember if it started after reading it or before). Then I noticed I am in that phenomena, that I started noticing the pattern 11:11, 12:12, 10:10,4:44 etc on my computers clock. Mostly 11:11.

5. I was watching Schindler’s List movie. On the second day I watched the second half of the movie. At the end, I noticed that the date of the death of Oscar Schindler, the protagonist of the story, is 9th October 1974. And interestingly the date I watched that was on 9th October 2009.

6. I was surfing a local tourism site http://www.spiceodysseyindia.com. I just looked at the contact page to find that it is at Barton Hill, Vanchiyoor post. Shortly, from outside my neighbor was talking loudly to someone over the phone, I heard him saying Vanchiyoor clearly. (12/October/09 6.12 pm)

7. I was watching a movie K-PAX. In a scene the protagonist was going through the hypnosis session and the psychiatrist asks about the girl’s name. The protagonist poses for a minute. I predicted it as Sara. (10/February/2013 ~5.30PM) ( Note:  By now, I am very much experienced with synchronicity, confirmation biases  and lot many psychological fallacies etc. I was actually thinking, this will be awesome if I predict the name. And bingo!)

I will be updating these list as more things happen. Meanwhile request readers to take a moment and post your experiences with out exaggeration in the comments section.

Hidden agenda of supporters of the gay marriage movement

Being curious by nature, I look at all things(especially strange) happening around me, in the lights of both arts and science. One of the most mysterious thing we encounter in life is probably sexuality. I have spend time studying the origin and evolution of sexes and learned that it is still a place of lot of debates even in scientific community.

One social phenomenon related to human sexuality is the gay marriage movement in recent times. More and more countries accepting gay marriages and ready to redefine and question traditional morality. Many see it with a humanitarian angle. As I have a sensing personality, I read everything in connection with other things to make a big picture.

Humanity’s biggest challenges these days are overpopulation and climate change. So any modern state’s major political and funding decisions are influenced by perceptions related to these issues. Governments are worried about population control for a long time. When you look at the gay marriage movement in this light, isn’t it partially true that some of the decision makers may be thinking “Why not? people are happy getting married to same sex. Doesn’t contribute to population growth and probably won’t contribute to more gays in the population, you get more votes lesser problems, win-win”. Of-course it may not be the only reason, but it could be one reason.

Is it rational? is it evil?

What is time?

Answer by Anand Mallaya:

When ever I collide with this question, every answer I get is like when asked about "what is a boat?", getting an answer : "a boat is a small ship".

EDIT For e.g. Take the term change which is often found in most definitions. The term change itself doesn't have proper meaning with out a reference to the concept of time itself.
Being said that, according to special and general relativity , space and time are one single entity.

EDIT:(Got a new insight, comments are appreciated) Assuming The Big Bang theory is a reality, and what was happening since big bang is the expansion of the universe from a singular state where all the matter was confined to the smallest unit of space. This give raise to an increase in total entropy.Absolute Time is the distance between each steps(quantum of space) at which the matter expanded.
OR
If the initial singularity changed its state, say to photons, and if it can only take defined states in space(assumption), then a step of time is the number of quantum distance the original photon covered since the big bang.
