What our knowledge leads us to? Repost from June 2011
every time we tried to crack the code of our universe.. processing every bit of information about who we are? why we're here? and any other question. the question has always been simple but yet the answer may intrigue even the smartest human on the planet to a confusion.
our quest to find the truth of everything has began very long time ago, beyond our knowledge to prove its validity. curiosity that built in into our brain system has lead us to find the answer of questions like:who am ? Why am I here for? Is there a God? What is God? Is the universe eternal? how it began? is there life after death? what is in the edge of the universe? How everything works? what is soul? what is reality? what is the truth?
those series of ordinary question we're all curious about has set us, human being to a very long, and tiring process to find the answer. with the help of technology, and cumulative information and researches, together we build our understanding about our universe a little bit better, even though it seems like the more we tried to seek the deeper understanding of our surrounding the more we get stunned, the more it makes no sense. but we're on the right track. and eventually as everyone of us hope we could learn the full version of truth and understanding of everything.
I found cosmology a very interesting subject to learn, it helps me to better understand such concept of time, space, eternality, and et cetera. how delicate our universe is, if not multiverse. how chaotic yet stable it is. and how it's all beautifully done that even a form of simple mathematical formula could represent what is going on in the universe.
I found the-mind-boggling quantum discoveries seriously interesting as well. how a particle could be at the two places all at once, and how it behaviors changes responding to the environment. how is it possible at all? and our knowledge of it keeps growing as I speak right now...
I'm left behind hundreds of years apart in term of my knowledge sufficiency to fully comprehend everything I want to comprehend. but at the other side I always wanted to have a real life, nor merely dealing with these substantial question of our life and universe but also enjoy the very life that I have. every single second of it.
School in my country Indonesia, on my opinion, has always ruin the beautiful side of knowledge, by demanding so much more from us that we forget how to enjoy the process of learning itself. it has become a competition field where the smart guy will always be the winner, and people like me, will always be a loser.
I am lucky to experience a year of American curriculum where basically the student are free to be themselves to some extent. but I am pretty jealous not being able to experience Finland's curriculum where every student are taught just to be a standard student, without giving them so much stress. in term of how many hours spent at school, and etc.
strange enough, that I prefer class like calculus, physics, critical thinking, precalculus, to be on my schedule when I could simply fill it up with all the fun class like cooking class, art class, and etc. Where all this knowledge will lead me to? i still dont know yet. but i know the journey will be continued
