“Now since our universe is said to be expanding, let us try to go to the time, when our universe was a very tiny lump of extremely dense matter. Now if you think yourself to be standing somewhere outside and watching this all activities, then, to remind you once again, let me tell you, that there is no ‘outside’ where you can stand and watch, ‘cause that lump is the universe
itself!!
Well... then the book started explaining things about how the big bang took place and how earth came into existence... anyway these things are good but the sentence above which is absolutely correct and contains nothing so special made me to think about it for that amount of time in which i would have easily been able to study the full chapter (I’ll discuss about this later in this post). :)
I can think about almost annnnnything whenever i am kind of sedative (‘nnnnnnn’ was to stress the word any !!) and the topic for that day was universe... how did it actually start, and where will it go eventually... well, then i thought about our galaxy and the solar system (offff...slow internet browsers are a hell lot of annoying to me :( ) and then about the species which occupied our habitat millions of years before our birth... the Dinosaurs, well, dinosaurs then mammoth and ultimately the humans...even we’ll be finished some day. Now when all these comes to my mind, i just think that why the hell are we doing what we are presently doing... our significance in this whole universe is less than nothing... or mathematically, less than even h% (for non-mathematicians, ‘h’ is assumed to be the smallest ever number in magnitude, which has infinite ’zeroes’ after the decimal point and a ‘one’ written after it) well, we all are aware of our position... and even significance in this universe, so, still we think of being the first in class, doing a job with the greatest package, becoming a film star, helping the people more than Gandhi, becoming the greatest businessman of all time, and all that stuffs... why? Will it really matter or bother you after you are dead... i don’t think so. Now if you answer that you do it for your future generations than you toh were not able to understand me.
And to all those believers of god, (before going any further, i would like to say that even i believe in god and question that follows is for me too) please tell me where actually was he when there were dinosaurs swirling around the globe; or there were ‘dinosaurs god’ at that time, who weren’t able to do anything when they became extinct? All these questions make even me feel the nothingness of god. Oh god... please answer these questions before people lose faith in you!
Even our science is not so good that we go to search the places for more lives in the universe. And each scientist has his own views on what is beyond the universe... well, everything has an end, but what about the universe? What is beyond it? Solid matters packed or nothing? Nothing means vacuum and if it is so, why isn’t it counted IN the universe, no one will be able to think something which contains nothing... not even vacuum, it sounds absurd, but that IS the thing beyond the universe, and if our universe was a small lump of heavily dense matter some time ago, it makes me easier to think, but still without any answer. Samajh me nahi aata hai ki ye saale scientists aakhir kar kya rahe hain :)
