My walk through the infinite corridor....

the night breeze was blowing by through the window in front of my table in my room n the moon light had set the faint fall of fog glittering white all around....
i have never understood why i have always loved fog so much right from my childhood... every time back in agt when the winters used to go intense n mom used to shut the sliders down, even then i used to close in to the glass to peep outside.. just to see the white screen of fog outside my window...
it used to feel as if there is a beautiful world out there... a very beautiful mysterious world beyond that white screen of fog........ . .  
n even though i still have that child somewhere within who loves staring at fog but there are times when the fascination of knowing the unknown n seeing the unseen can take you to a land of confusing yet addictive frustrations... n being in pretty much a similar stand i switched off my lamp n chose to take a solitary walk outside, at the wing....


It was around two at night... the guys in the wing n pretty much the whole hostel had set their sails for a land into their own worlds of dreams leaving me somewhere behind in this monotonous world of consciousness... but i guess they couldn't help it either for my dreams had already been haunted with a world of uncertainties.. indistinctness.... n the so called real n yet so damn unreal quantizations.....

As i kept walking along the wing through the corridor it felt at one time that something was bugging me( or my mind:P)... so i turned around..

well at the first sight i saw nothing unusual... green doors with room no.s given in yellow plates occurring in both sides at around a gap of every 5 meters.... nothing unusual..
but dont know why.... dont know how it really felt as if my mind was literally taken by a storm.. 
a really awesome idea had come to my mind!!... 
what if this corridor could be an infinite corridor (wasn't that tough coz anyway i wasn't able to see the end of our wing in the dark)... what if the green doors do appear but this time they appear without any room no.s.... what if i really am walking through an infinite corridor decorated with that perfect symmetry then will i be able to take a walk through it??... will it be possible to travel through??


well, from the present laws of mechanics there's nothing unusual going on.... of course i can... but then again i am just traveling from one set of completely identical points to another....(the region between the doors)... after i have crossed one door i am literally back to my earlier place again because there's just no way to distinguish.... the indistinctness rules over... i just can't tell between whether i have moved ahead or have returned to the original place where i started........ there's no technical or mathematical way to tell...
of course now if you fix a frame n start numbering all the identical rooms then its a different case as then i have to enter the realms of the classical world with classical mechanics considered legal but i guess nature doesn't want us to distinguish artificially between her one part of the symmetric space from other.....  n yeah i know it sounds a lil weird... it did so even when i thought about it but it just happened to be a logical conclusion along the way....


but there's a huge problem left with this thought experiment.... the symmetry had just occurred because of the likeness of the neighboring space... well, the real uncertainty principle has got to be more deep... so then i felt i shouldn't just think of the walk through the corridor just as a walk through space but also a walk into time... the more i walk into the space inside the corridor.. the more i flow with time and walk into my future.....
So, now what it means is that this time if i walk with a certain particular speed the green doors keep occurring at regular intervals in space along the side of the corridor and hence the symmetry in space-time is actually developed by my own constant speed!!....
But then again if i am completely sure about my definite speed... more technically my momentum, i am completely lost into a dark world with indistinguishable positions...... i just can't tell where i am!!!....
its turns out that its just not possible to understand position and momentum together.... the problem is not in the experiments.. but its in the way how the classically obsessed minds have designed these quantities of position and momentum, the problem lies in the very definition itself....


i wonder if this can be a plausible interpretation for the uncertainty principle of quantum mechanics.... 
but whatever it is i still know that there's still a lot of scope left.... there might be a better n yet a much deeper way of  understanding the indistinguishability... the indistinctness of quantum uncertainties... ...
i know, i just believe that there is still a lot of depth left in this amazing quantum world n i just can't resist going after it.... may be someday i ll be able  to understand it completely;-)


n till then, well...  i guess i have got to keep walking the infinite corridor... in search of that world beyond that white screen of fog lying outside my window....... . .
