Uncertainty Principle

Last think before boarding the plane,I do is bit of gambling, if I am alone and I win the money paid for the TAXI to the Airport.

Uncertainty Principle

This as a principle was ingrained in my mind form childhood.

There is the cardinal principle in physics.

It is called the State of Flux.

Lately of course, I have expanded it to many other areas.

Cloud forming and the unpredictability of the weather was of my special interest.

There is long chapter on that topic later in this book.

However, long before I mastered statistics,  I have seen how a six sided dice fall on the ground when it is thrown up. When we add two dices the number of combinations increases exponentially.

This fact is used in gambling.

In good old days, during the annual Esala Perehara in Kandy, there would be a special carnival ground erected in Bogambara Grounds. The gambling stalls had a special attraction and I used to go there and gamble. 

Then of course there was a Casino stall, belonging to Mr. E.W.Balasuriya in the Kandy lake round, opposite of the Buddhist Publication Society.      

I have gone there once or twice for musical shows but we were not allow to gamble as children. As a medical student of course, I have gone there and gambled a few times and a even won few quids.

Gambling is the best game that illustrates the Uncertainty Principle. 

Some days I did go to Buddhist Publication Society and bought a few Bodhi Leaves only 20cent apiece. That was my entry to Dhamma in bits and pieces.
