At college endless hours are spent learning the answers to the questions we already know… what about for the Questions we don't know answers to???? As a boy I used to be puzzled about lot of thing… for example what would it feel like to be an animal, Do trees feel pain?? Was the big bang just an accident?? Is there a god if yes then how are you sure if it’s him or her? Why do so many innocent animals and people suffer from terrible things?? Is there really a plan for my future?? Is it yet to written or is it already written and we just can’t see it. Who am I any way?? Am I just a biological machine? But then why am I conscious? What is consciousness?? Can robots become conscious one day?? Some one must know the answers to these questions right?? Guess what no body does … But diving in to this is exciting, it takes you to edge of knowledge and you never know what you find there…
Question: How many universes ??
Sometime when I am in travel and I gaze outside to check for mountains and deserts try to get my head around... how vast our earth is… then I remember that an object we see every day can take in one million earth in it…. Sun seems impossibly big… The pale white mist seen in a clear sky has lot many stars as ours… May be there are 100 billion galaxies and each galaxy have their own solar system “holy Steven Hooking” its lot of stars :) and this may be a small part of what we call infinity … space is expanding at accelerating rate… there are stars from different galaxies separating so fast that light from them never reaches us… But recently sting theory speculates that there may be a whole new universe around us made of different type of particle obeying different laws and if they support life then they be in and out of life in just a fraction of second but some says even our own universe is an illusion so to conclude what we know about number of universes is that they are in range of 0 to infinity.
Question: Why can’t we see alien??
Some where out there in this vast universe there surely must be count less other planets steaming with life but why don’t we see any evidence of it..?? Where is everybody??? Some theorist speculates that aliens are visiting us and they are being covered up. Our earth didn't form about 9 billion years after the big bang so count less of other planets in our galaxy should have been formed earlier and given life a chance to evolve. On earth we have seen how dramatically technologies have accelerated in just 100 years. But why can’t we trace them why can’t we get some signs from them?? Well may be some kind of strict radio silence is imposed or may be they don’t want us to know about them…
Question: Why Life??
What are we suppose to do?? Why only humans intelligent?? Or may be we are just a bunch of people in a lab called earth being studied by other kinds... What should our deeds be to make our life successful?? When we look in mirror what we see?? we don't see our self but our reflection.. What are we then?? You know there is a difference between a living body and a dead body, the living body is full of vitality and spark and when it dies spark is gone it becomes stiff just like a piece of wood... We know that some thing is gone, a person is gone so we can easily agree that a person consist of a body and a soul and the soul is the real person and this is where people fail to recognize who they are, if they knew who they are they would re-arrange their priorities and they will pay more attention to themselves. A person goes to school for many years, study hard, gives exams and finally end up making money all this to serve a body a vanishing entity and nothing actually for the real part of me my soul...
Lots of research is being carried on to search for extraterrestrial planets supporting life… Hope one day we connect with rest of the world... :)
Thanx for reading :) :)
