Blink and Gone!

 The open skies.. The empty seas... The grassy plains.. The misty mountains....

 The world is beautiful. Each time you turn around a corner, you see a scenario never seen before! Thats what makes the world interesting, unpredictability.

 Einstein once famously declared ' GOD DOES NOT PLAY DICE WITH THE UNIVERSE!'. He was probably referring to  the idea that everything in the world has an explanation and that nothing is out of the normal. And he's right! Things do make sense. If something is confusing, eventually it will be explained with the passage of time.

 But one slight flaw with our existence in this universe, is that we live for only a short period of time. If you look at it relatively, in terms of the universe, we probably dont even exist for even a pico second! To put it short, We dont have much time. Our existence is only momentary. We are like a frothy bubble on a wave which will eventually disappear.

 We donot even have the time to look around our own planet , let alone the universe. But I wish there was some way we could break free of our earthly shackles and go on a tour of the universe. It would be awesome! Imagine going around from one galaxy to the other, maybe meeting a couple of extra terrestrials on the way! Or maybe go to the center of the universe and check out if there actually is a humoungous blackhole there! Or maybe a blackhole is actually a drain/portal to some other plane/realm or dimension! What if there were millions of alternate universes?! How would we be in them?

 Haven't you ever wondered whats the reason of your existence? Are we here for a reason? Because , as Einstein says, nothing is left to chance. So whats the reason for us being here? Or are we just a flickering by-product of a cosmic reaction?

 You see, we can never answer these questions because of one simple reason: We dont have much time!. We never saw the beginning of the universe. We will probably never see the end of it either! To put a long story short, we have no data to decide, simply because we dont have enough time to collect the data itself.

 But despite the short time-frame we have, the world is beautiful - we are constantly surrounded by wonders and surprises. We are never bored!

 I would certainly love to hear the story of the universe. To go across the universe , investigate its length and breadth! ( Universe might even be a sphere for all we know!). But who is there to recite the tale??


 I wish I had Green Lantern's ring!!!! (sigh!)
