World Change

How does the World change?

I have just read an article on "The magnetic reconnection in the plasma in the Solar System." In these kind of magnetic field, even at the point of zero field strength; there may be a sudden reconnection of the magnetic lines and create a immediate burst of high energy in form of heat or kinetic energy of the particles involved and/or strong magnetic flux and field changes.

Together with the book "doomday" and many previously read articles, these "trigger" me to re-think the so-called gradualism or stable universe assumption we (or only I) hold for a long long time. It seems that the real picture is an unstable flow of events or energy is the norm, plus a sudden outburst of energy flow which usually creates catatrophe to the previous state.

This pictures best-fit the statistical description of our daily life, e.g. a production line. Products are monitored to be kept within a range of "satisfactory standard." In simple term, the standard derivation from the "mean" or desired standard.

It means life is full of unstabilities and uncertainties. It is not stable as we wish. It is never perfect as we hope. Even a perfect couple can break off due to a sudden outbrust of negative emotions (e.g. anger.) Of course, in real life, we can use our endurance to "cover" or mend this. But we can never be sure that it will work all the time. Men err, and errors rule.

Entrope rises, not decrease only if we input some form of control or energy to re-direct it. Thus, in real life, Life is full of heart-break, restlessness and doubts (as one hymn told us.)

Besides, men degrade if we don't change with clear intention. It is why can see many times good Christians or pastors turn out to be weak Christians or even faithless believers, or some devil-like creatures.
