THEORY OF RELATIVITY

Theory of relativity incorporates, rather represses the universe of human emotions; their victories, triumphs, outmaneuvers and defeats, annihilations, shellacking; their blithe moments, euphoria, exults and cravings, cupidity, vaulting ambitions; the stature of apogee and the depth of impasse are all an outcome of this theory’s parturition; the way human live in society, comport, interact and work for the sustainability of society.


The theory of relativity basically talks about lack of absoluteness. Nothing is absolute, what is acceptable from one side may be detestable from the other side. We make our own definitions and become chuffed if it is fulfilled and reject the very same description once it fails to satiate our interests


Hurtles in life throw myriads of salvo upon us, we have no other option but to face them and here is where we carve a niche of disquisitions around us. We set a goal satisfying our capabilities and compulsions; we extrude a path to reach that objective as per our own convenience and even work to attain it according to our own capacities. Fortunately if that ephemeral mission is accomplished, we become elated for the said completion of that pre-defined objective. Even if we fail to accomplish, we still have many self made expositions in our depository, whys and wherefores at why where we our self decide whether or not to become depressed by the said clobber. We give various excuses to vindicate ourselves or scold our own self, once again as we like it. Some of us don’t get obliged even after getting 90% score in some examination and while some of us might feel gratified by just crossing the 60% barrier and quite surprisingly that 6 pointer is an envied happy lad. Bhojpuri might sound bucolic and derogatory at an age when you were busy embezzling English to shape your career but at the end of the road, you might miss the ethnicity and nazakat of the very same mother tongue in which your parents used to converse with you. It depends entirely upon us how we take any situation and become blissed or depressed by our own annotations


Stipulating further, this relativity concept indomitably motivates the world. It is the mother of diversity in this entire creation. Different regions developed their own cultures, traditions, languages and lifestyle. Had not nationalism, patriotism or even chauvinism for that matter been there, this diversity would have lost (and we actually see it happening in this present age of globalization). Mother loves her child because her child is the best as per her perception. We love our family and nation and remain bounded with them because we find them the best in our spheres of intelligence, although we are aware that veracity proposes that best means one and only one, not all things can stood as best. The best example to clear this concept is our affection for our own mother. Every child declares its mother to be the best mother, which is nothing but a blunt relative belief under its aegis of understanding. Basic human emotions are emanated from this very concept of relativity where we consider our assets as the best and reject the rest. We buoy a cause only when we find it to be self-serving and we countervail an agenda only because we find it to be debilitating some of our future benefit, but very cunningly, every time we try to show that whatsoever we are doing is ethical and thereby prove that we are some harbinger and try to construct a generalized manifesto comprising disguised greed but officially proposing some universal scruples of social conscience. Just like, Why Indians prefer arrange marriages still now can never be understood by westerners who don’t even know what is a joint family, but still then they are found excoriating this practice (and eunuch Indians feel ignoble at their apprehension). Similarly Live In relationship is an institution which suits their culture, which perhaps ethnic Indians find awkwardly irreconcilable. The only truth is Relativity; get absorbed in a system to comprehend it better, rather than criticizing superficially. One can appreciate music, art only within the realms of his understanding but even then very foolishly he tries to form a stance that his choice represents the superlative degree of art, just to get the credit of being a better recognizer of aesthetics than his mate.


We are always blessed in our own world if our explications are away from the gamut of society, but once society and the fright of society gets involved, elucidations become complex but still demystification has the same degree of relativity and eloquently justifies our own acts. If our perception of relish encroaches the laws of society, once again it depends totally upon us how we take it. Love/fear of society sometimes forces us to sacrifice our personal desires and we have the excuse that it was necessary for the stability of society or family in particular. Sometimes we just don’t go with the society and once again as penance or to justify our act, we accuse blinkered society of prudishness, insularity and of being parochial; or think that that particular act was necessary to retain my personal identity. Whatever may be the case, every time our definitions, created in our own minds, are ready to inspire us in the direction we wish to go. Not to forget, society is nothing but a superset of relative definitions. Fight with society is a fight of two relative approaches, what is unacceptable to the society right now may become palatable to the society if relative outlooks come up at bulk and collect the courage to outrage the previous relative conventions.


Everything is relative to such a great extent that the very same act which was authoritative a few moments before may draw abhorrence if the reasons get alternated or the perspective is transmuted (once again in relative sense).Just like girls were never encouraged to enter the glamour world a few decades before but now parents proudly boast of their daughter once she wins some sexiest figure competition in some Miss World parade. Dispute between two groups can end either way since each group has his own set of explanations to prove that they are accurate, the very same tussle is right by one clarification and wrong by other illustration. M. F. Hussain is a rational artist for some and hyper publicized celebrity for others, in either of the cases there are plenty of logics to prove so. Choices made by an individual are immaculate by his philosophy and eccentric by several other perspectives. No one can decide what is discrepant or consummate and perhaps that is the truth and beauty of this creation. But for sustainability of the society, sometimes it becomes necessary to take a particular outlook and support a particular perspective and that is where the importance of religion/constitution is felt by the society itself. Religion is not more than a standard set of relative definitions having its input from millions of experiences of the society accumulated over thousand of years, confined in a region. Based upon those experiences certain laws are enacted for better flow of ideas and sustainability of society. In the absence of Constitution/Religion, entire creation would not cease to exist but definitely once again it’s a matter of choice that what kind of society we wish to have around us.


Gist is just that nothing is right or wrong and neither can one decide what is aberrant and what is flawless, everything is relative (and that’s what gives birth to interconnectivity).We should always do what our heart says, egocentric society will endorse or boycott us only within its sphere of pretension. Society can never decide what is erroneous or infallible in absolute sense. Exuberance is such a rare thing that if we think that our acts, choices or perspective is exhilarating our core, we should always nurture them. If we would sacrifice our choices and ardour for the sake of society, we would be the most foolish to do so since the same society would support our choices in future if some better extenuation comes up suppressing previous outlook, either by power or a new relative conviction.


Do things as per your conscience as it only can make you perennially gloating, as per your definition, and true complacency is the most difficult thing to earn in this world, as per my article of faith. Whatever panoramas you earn in life, if any damn choice earns immediacy in your life, just have the guts to prove them impeccable and irrespective of the nature of your choice; you can always earn verisimilitude, make the person in competition feel inferior just because of the ultimate reality that everything is relative.

The post is good and i hope you have really worked hard to shape your thoughts in such a way.

S J Mayank Srivastav said...

Thanks bhaiya
definitely...all that i have tried is to give a morale boosting to all those who think differently and get stagnant due to fear of society

Unknown said...

The post is good and most of the idea you have implemented here is similar to my thoughts. But use a proper writing. You have worked so hard to find very high frequency words to collate sentences. But when someone reads, it becomes very much messed and many lines don't appear exactly to what ever you depict. Rest your thoughts are fine. Use the English standard whatever you communicate regularly when you write stuffs like this. It should be appreciable even by the common man.

S J Mayank Srivastav said...

i know i have used verbose
can you please cite some examples where i made a mess, it would help me to improve

Vineet Awasthi said...

amazing thoughts!!
i am really surprised, i never thought like this but its true cent percent
i have also seen this relativity in our culture concept, in west a son drinks with his father while in east a son drinks but tries never should his father know abt that
excellent overall

Yayaver said...

go for more post and read very well before presentation of idea.You are a good writer,be it.

alok singh said...

nice start ,an intellectual piece, but the lack of flow is there , may b the post is too long for a blog

S J Mayank Srivastav said...

Theories are always long dear...perhaps my next theory - the theory of professionalism would be even more longer and revealing.
i am new, would definitely take care of ur views
frankly i never expected that theory of relativity would ever be accepted by junta...its an outcome of my years long experience, people will appreciate it within times to come..the thing that i have tried to say

sunil singh said...

realy mayank this is too good. now the time has come to so the right path to the media duided youth... Keep writing buddy....

Dear Mayank,

The thoughts that you have espoused / elaborated are, in part, sound. But not all - and certainly not your starting premises. The Theory of Relativity is concerned ONLY with the Laws of Physics. It DOES NOT "basically talks about lack of absoluteness" as claimed by you. It merely states that MOTION (and by corollary) VELOCITY is relative, and by interconnectivity, mass and time are relative. However, it DOES state with ABSOLUTE ABSOLUTENESS that the speed of light is constant in all media, that the space and time are inter-woven and that it is ONE CONTINUOUS space-time continuum etc. There are several ABSOLUTES that one can derive from the Theory of Relativity.

As stated at the start of my comment, IT IS NOT a theory of ethics or morality or anything else - it is ONLY about Physics. So, seen from this perspective, your columns title loses its relevance.

You are arguing FOR and AGAINST moral relativism - which is an evil in itself. Moral relativism is the hand-tool of the liberal and from what I know of your line of thoughts, you are NOT a liberal and you would want to be light-years away from any liberal !!

You need to be very clear about what you wish to support and what you wish to condemn. Your post seems to argue for both sides, which is very confusing.

Let me come back with more comments when I find some more time

S J Mayank Srivastav said...

Thanks Sir
Certainly it has nothing to do with Physics
Speed of light depends upon your frame of reference and it is not constant in all media, so its a relative thing
But coming to moral relativism, please give me the places where you disagree with my writing
How come you can say i am not liberal?
I have openly supported one's heart voice and given logics for it as well
I would be obliged if you give me the exact lines where you disagree with me

Sanathana Dharma said...

Hi Mayank,

I would come back with my more detailed comments some time later. Right now I am pressed for time.

I would like to correct one sentence - I did not mean that speed of light is constant IN ALL MEDIA - of course, I know that the speed of light varies from air to water to glass to other such media. What I meant was that it is constant in a given medium IRRESPECTIVE of the frame of reference. Speed of light DOES NOT CHANGE with one's frame of reference. The earlier sentence was a "slip of the finger" !!

Hi Mayannk,

Just seeking a small clarification from you. You had replied to my earlier comment:

" Thanks Sir - Certainly it has nothing to do with Physics"

Are you stating that the Thoery of Relativity has NOTHING to do with Physics? Do I understand you correctly here? Or was it also a "slip of the finger"?

S J Mayank Srivastav said...

Unlike Eintein's theory, my theory is relevant in social scenario and has nothing to do with physics, i would check ,may be it turns out to be universal
