The Karma Thread

<p>What good deeds have you Harvard aspirants done over the past few days solely for the sake of tipping karma in your favor?</p>

<p>I don’t know about “solely tipping karma in my favor”, but I helped an old lady walk up the stairs, i’ve been generally nice to more people, and i’ve been praying awhile (over a month, even longer) to get an acceptance. What about you?</p>

<p>^just to clarify, your good karma up to the point in time when the Adcom casted the vote to determine your fate, that cumulative karma is important, unless the time-entanglement between the two events, your karma and the vote casting, affect the vote outcome by your ‘future’ karma. Now, exactly WHEN the time is for the vote to seal your fate is unknown to you, it is generally a good policy for you to carry on good deeds at all times. This way you do not need to worry about the timing part. Just be nice and be polite at all times.</p>

<p>I lol’ed at:</p>

<p>“…up to the point in time when the Adcom casted the vote to determine your fate”</p>

<p>Felix and Finish - you’re in; you may pass. Toughyear, we’re sending you down the street to MIT. :)</p>

<p>LOL <em>I bow to you Satguru</em>, and I look forward to taking some Harvard-MIT classes with toughyear :D</p>

<p>@gadad, what did I do to deserve this honor? i’ve been accumulating good karma ever since i was on on this board for the children on this board to get in their dream school. if they offer me a job there, then i would consider because i am waaaay too old to go back to college.</p>

<p>"If you imagine the present as the origin of this graph, then the future (ie the space you can reach at subluminal speeds) forms a wedge that is symmetric about the y-axis. Your past (ie the space you could have arrived from at subluminal speeds) is a mirror image of this wedge reflected in the x-axis.</p>

<p>"When two particles are present, both sitting on the x-axis, their wedges will overlap in the future and in the past. This has a simple meaning: these particles could have interacted in the past and could do so again in the future, but only in the areas of overlap.</p>

<p>“Conventional entanglement cuts across this world, quite literally. It acts along the the x-axis, linking particles instantly in time and in defiance of the boundaries to these wedges.”</p>

</ul>

<p>^see. But I wanted to back it up with some science … that your good deeds today may affect the outcomes of the decision made two weeks ago by Harvard adcom. According to the Timelike Entanglement, that could be possible if these two are entangled. No?</p>
