Sahir and Quantum theory
It's interesting how a poet can inadvertently illustrate a complex scientific concept succinctly. I was just listening to the song "zindagi ittefaq hai" and the lines go...
मिलते है हम कभी कभी, वरना है अजनबी सभी,
तेरे किये से कुछ नही, मेरे किये से कुछ नही,
ये सभी इत्तेफाक है...
Now... The quantum theory postulates that the universe operates based upon quantum probabilities, promoting Einstein to exclaim, "God doesn't play dice."
Not sure if the lyricist Sahir knew of quantum physics when he penned this song.
