The world in black and white


                 The multiverse is a theory in which our universe is not the only one, but states that many universes exist parallel to each other. These distinct universes within the multiverse theory are called parallel universes. A variety of different theories lend themselves to a multiverse viewpoint.


Not all physicist really believe that these universes exist. But I am not a physicist, which allows me to dream of things without giving an empirical explanation for it.
This theory of parallel Universe is facinating, and keeps me wondering and questioning, what if so was not so? what if that thing there was not there? what if this was that ? Well, What if the universe was Black and White ?  
 What if our eyes could see only two colors?  what if we never knew if other colors even existed. what if the rods and cones in our eyes could process only black and white?.

 The Rainbow and the sky would have shades in two tones, and still would be appreciated for the pattern it exhibited, not knowing that if seen in VIBGYOR or blue, how beautiful  would it look ! The world would be viewed with a perception of a chess board. Issues like racism would be put into shade or subside, since the world would have whites, blacks and greys. People would be less concerned about beauty and cosmetics.


 Things could go haywire while solving a Rubik's cube which now has shades of grey ! or girls would have to survive without Pink ! A lot of proverbs would need to change like  "The grass is grayer on the other side " .The beautiful snow would seem no different from the rest . Well,  the moon shall be the only thing as appealing as it is now.


 While I sit and imagine of the black and white world, I realize how gifted I am and how gifted we all are to be able to see different colors. In black and white world the real world would only be a figment of our imagination, but now as we live in one, we must know how lucky we are. We live in a world where greed always surpasses need. Human beings have been insufferably arrogant to think nature was made solely for their benefit.
Man has lost the capacity to foresee. 


Man must feel the earth to know himself and  recognize his values or a day will come when the world we live in might as well turn into a multiverse.
                                                  

                         Don't blow it - good planets are hard to find.

10 things I HATE about Windows 8


 

11.  Absence of Start button like in previous versions of Windows.

22. Without reliable internet connection, whole purpose of “METRO” interface is compromised.

33.  Softwares which run perfectly on the previous versions of Windows are not compatible.

44. Drivers support is at minimum, at the best.

55.  For multiple OS users, in the OS choice screen, selection of OS other than Windows 8 requires an immediate restart of the system.

66.  Programs cannot be closed at the convenience of a click of the button. Instead, user has to drag and drop the app window to the bottom of the screen, which is very irritating.

77.  Ribbon interface for explorer is not so user friendly. Even regularly accessed items like menu bar, view options etc. are hard to reach.

88.  No ease of access to shut down, restart and sign-out options.

99.  Critical system notifications like time, power, battery, Wi-Fi indicators are not right in front of the user.

110. NO GAMESSSSSSS !!!!!!  Where are the inbuilt Games, which we loved for such a longtime? 


  This review is based on Windows 8 Release Preview build 8400
