“I can’t clean up my room because of entropy” my 10 year old son declares this morning. “It is pointless to clean up my room because the universe is working against me. Entropy is changing and spreading and my room will never become neater.” Oh really?!
That leaves us with Mr. Hawkings fine words. This imagining of knowledge people have because we are exposed to “smears” of information is misleading. If something you see on Facebook or Twitter or anywhere else piques your curiosity, go look for more. I have noticed that even I am influenced by this FB culture where we look at 2 min. videos or read only a short blog and move on. Yet, thankfully, I go back to my old self and do my research and dig deep into a subject that fascinates me. I don’t want to be the kind of person that quotes information from a FB post or a commercial as if it was acquired intelligence, because it is not. It is informational regurgitation. Why would you sell yourself short? Why do we exclude the actual thinking process from our ability to develop our intelligence? Research and study and coming to our own conclusions is the way. We don’t have to be a genius to be smart. Ignorance on the other hand, does not discriminate and is a pattern everyone can change.
Since no one in my house is an actual theoretical physicist just yet, my son must clean up his room, entropy or no entropy! This mother not only overrules the entropy of the universe, she understands that her thoughts, like the universe are expanding. Time to brush up on my physics!
Namaste!
