It’s been a month now , I am looking for a place to start to know this puzzle . Not an answer just to understand what is the puzzle ? that much complicated it is

Getting disappointed and failed every single time , I decided, probably I should start writing this as a daily journal . Learning and mistakes would be a part of this Journey and Who knows if I will be able to connect the dots at some point of time , just to understand what this puzzle meant ?

To all those who are still reading , I would like to tell them that its not a blog of facts and knowledge but its all about my exploration and learning which I am going to share and when I say its exploration , you have to give me the freedom to make mistakes .

Since ages , great thinkers and philosphers have been trying to conclude interpretation of nature of reality . The source of knowledge is so enormous , that one finds very difficult to start with . Because there is no unanimous agreement of the truth , for a seeker like me , it becomes too complicated whom to choose and where to trace it back

Because I love to read , I spend some time reading various interpretation written in our ancient text like Yoga Vashistha and Upanishads , failing myself to understand and imagine , But actually surprised how intellectually rich our ancient texts are. (I will refer these textbooks some time later in this journey )

So , I thought why not start with the currency Quantum , a word discovered by Max Plank in 1900 . I purchase and read a book Quantum : Einstein , Bohr and Great Debate about Nature of Reality — Manjit Kumar

The book is highly recommended one for those who as a layman wanted to know the historical background of current interpretation of nature of reality — Copenhagen Interpretation. Manjit has put his heart and soul into writing this book , Its a history of great scientist and their debates and discoveries .

After this , I couldn’t stop myself reading more about quantum physics . I ordered more books written by Feymann and Susskind . See , I am not a theoretical physicist , that I will be able to grasp in a go . I have to read it multiple times just to understand the concept because everything is so abstract . Quantum Mechanics unlike classical do not give you the freedom to imagine but to pen down everything in a weird mathematical notation , that’s how complicated it is .

I believe writing this as a journal will help me to reflect upon my learning and would certainly find people to guide and correct upon .
