The world at 58
My inference on this universe at the age of 58 may be
different than everyone else, but unless I express it in my own words, no one
can compare. Please forgive me if I am wrong. Mankind will never be able to
understand the mystery of this universe .It is above and beyond the power of
his brain or its ability of comprehend. Sky is not the limit! I believe in
the creator only because of this. Otherwise, with the passage of time( a couple
of million years), oil pipelines should break into pieces automatically to become
intercontinental missiles by themselves, based on the theory of evolution. Three
dimensional space is within our reach, and when time is added, things get more
complex. Is it possible to go back into time, recreate an event, even for a
fraction of a second?. Are we only
moving forward? What other directions and dimensions we have? Linear, planer, coplanar, three dimensional? .
Sometimes, I imagine myself to be sitting inside a birds nest on a tree which
is part of a huge forest and I see my world circular, tubular geometric etc,
and I use some mathematics invented by someone to measure it. For me, the
universe is like the birds nest. When the bicycle was invented, it was the
fastest vehicle on earth, and the only way to travel faster was to jump from a
cliff. We believe, many things exist, there is White House in the US, man
landed on the Moon. Is there a tree light years from the Earth? When can we
invent something which has brains, can withstand high temperature (100,000degree
centigrade), and travel a light year per hour? It can travel about 10,000 light
years per year to search for trees around. When I look at the sky in the evening,
it is million times picturesque than the pictures of the tarantula nebula or
other galaxies which our Hubble Space Telescope has sent us with great
difficulty. Just look at the wings of a butterfly. Who is that great artist to
give such a beautiful design on its wings? Why my brain said it is
beautiful? Sense of beauty is different
for all. So what is real or reality? Everything is relative to something. Someone’s like is another’s dislike.
About time, we have created seconds and minutes. Whereas
cosmic activities take place in billions of years, distant galaxies have to be
measured in terms of light years. Human beings life would be just a breeze
then. What if we could live for 200 years? The next 200 years would see 2000
years of progress when we compare the previous millenniums. By 2100, many
cities on the sea sides will sink into the oceans. Many cities will have day
time temperature ranging from 45 degree centigrade and up, and would be inhabitable.
Sky would be busier than the roads with
drone cars. Space suits will be sold in the malls (if they exist) along with
suits and pants .Robots would take care of senior care. Everyone would be
identified with a chip installed in the body, and it will take care of banking,
buying selling, and would eliminate currency, passport, and ID. How will be our
family and family life? I am still thinking and wondering.
