Ambiguity in science and in feelings

 Is there ambiguity in science?

Yes there is. 

especially in quantum physics.

We don't now how it works, but it works. Some say that's enough - we don't exactly have to know what happens  (Niels Bohr was one of them). 

In Einsteins theory time goes faster for one person in a valley than for another person on a mountain  (because of gravitation). 

Quantum physics looks in a way like art or human relations. In these areas we we for sure know that there are ambiguity included. 

In relation we often are not sure of how much we Love each other or how long the relation will last.

The question "are we really together now" may put the relation in a more clear light (or maybe ens it). That is ecactly what happens when someone makes a mesaurment in quantum physics. The mesaurment ends the ambiguity.

 In modern art different spectators can, or should have, different interpretations. 

 The spectator interact with the art. Of course the artist has his or her view and maybe an experience as  an inspiration for the work. But the spectator should not be guided too much, that would be simple art.

Often art leave us with ambiguous feelings. Maybe you cannot express that in words. That can be called emotional dissonance and can be quite confusing. But relations are often confusing, we can both dislike or like a person, maybe in the same moment. We may even not now what we feel until afterwards.

In Buddhist philosophy there are two ways to look at the world; with a conventional or with an absolute view. The conventional view is what we usually uses. Its a bit like classic physics; there are causes and effects, there are before and after. There is what we call reality. 

Even if you have meditated a lot and are enlightened you live in that real world. But you know that all you see is produced by your brain and consciousnesses. You now that everything is interdependent and have no intrinsic essence.    

We are dependent on so many things, so we cannot control our existence - therefore we suffer. Though we may think that we can control it.   

Its a bit like the quantum world - its impossible to understand. As it is impossible to understand an other person or even oneself. 

It may be that we often are not so interested in the truth, but in what strengthen us. 

Dostoevsky  once wrote that if it would look like Jesus had not lived historically on the Earth - he would still believe in him

Right now I listen to The High Mass by Bach and its all about Christ too. 

So without Bach's belief in Christ this  masterpiece would not exist. 

 But we can listen to the mass without religious ears. And it will anyway comfort us. And it has swing - you dance to it! 

Lets say that Bach was cultivated and not totally driven by desires, though he could be angry at people and even had a sword fight with a musician he had insulted. 

You cannot control art and music and not yourself - if we want we can see our life as a piece of art: Not easy to interpret but moving, dancing and even full of stories, more or less true. 

And you cannot control  the stories other will tell about you. 

But they may be the only thing that will be left of you when your gone, so why not try to make them worthy - how much do you care about nature and people around you? That interaction is what you are made of...
