Simply eureka

Even before I had the consciousness to admit it, I've been fascinated with science. It is a subject that is the root of all other discipline in terms of theory, hypotheses and rule-based conclusions. It does not lean towards the mysterious, cryptic, far-flung ideas and approximations that human beings are capable of. I wasn't raised to fall head deep in science's clutches but the vicariousness I undergo through seeing people write and re-write history on everything worth to be proven provided by human beings' geniuses is exhilarating, awe-inspiring at best and disturbing at worst.

Fermat's Last Theorem is one of the many topics BBC Horizon focused on. It is the ultimate, perplexing, preternatural and infamous mathematical problem that has been left unsolved for three hundred years. Until Andrew Wiles was born and decided early on in his life that he will prove Fermat and all other theories and conjectures that branched from the immemorial scientific mystery true by the ends and limitations of mathematics. The episode barely intended to show the final solution as seeing the dedicated forty-five minutes to the history and consecutive historical events are still not enough to convey the very significance of it. A handful of mathematics professors supported the very thought of impossibility and wonderment in relation to the seven years of continuous dedicated Wiles had, not suffered, but thoroughly relished and enjoyed in attempting to solve.

Nothing so simple and elegant could be understood by plebeian thought but isn't that what's great about it? I can barely understand half of my relentless endeavour for science and its complexities but it is indubitable in its concreteness and solution that all of the blossoming problems of today will have a definite answer tomorrow. In short, science is my religion.
