Question Mark??

The thing that they show in the Matrix. Can it be true? There is no way to tell. Our fantasies and stories portray the world as something completely unexpected but perfectly fitting. The story of Harry Potter or those written in our epic indicate one thing. That this earth is not what we see it is. That there are powers, people,brains beyond all this.Of course these suppositions are not proven to be true, but they aren't proven wrong either. Amusingly so, neither is the modern science equipped enough to prove these things wrong.

Maybe we are all computer programmed organic robots kept in a simulated real life environment.Maybe beyond the skies and the sun live the angels and Gods in heaven. Again, the things are passed off as baseless.But what if there is something we are totally unaware of, something that is an integral part of life but still we miss it.

According to fantasy writer Douglas Adams, the earth is just a supercomputer built by rats to find the ultimate meaning of life. This sounds gibberish that one cannot overlook the possibility that maybe we are a part of some gigantic system, a small cog in a complex machinery. The vastness of universe often creates such doubts.

No law of science can be treated as totally universal. There are countless examples where old scientific theories, which were very readily accepted by people, were discarded like a piece of nonsense when new facts were discovered.


When the world was wide beyond our eyes, we accepted it to be flat. Only when some people tried to think beyond this 'unshakable truth' did the real truth come out. What we truly need is unbiased fresh approach,which challenges every pivotal belief in the world. Only if one starts afresh from the basic developments such as languages, civilizations and religions; will the answer be found.


Question what they say and never discard any possibility only because its too odd to be true.What Darwin said was unbelievable, but true. Again the definition of truth is skewed here. What Darwin proposed was accepted and followed by the world thereafter. But now, even the Darwin's theory has been modified. Modern biology doesn't believe that Darwin's postulates are entirely true. God know what really the truth is.


The biggest question that poses in front of us is the presence of God. Does God exist? If yes, then what exactly is God? It he a human, or a source of power, or a centre of force? Is it a thing or just thoughts? If yet God is not proven to be there, then why do so many people believe in God? So many people cannot be blindfolded at the same time. Or maybe they can be!!


In our quest for the answer to everything we humans have come a long way. Questions like this have always enticed us and keep on doing so till eternity. That said, does anyone know how long eternity is? maybe God does.

Regarding God, a scientific explanation to God is weird. Just as we cannot comprehend a fourth dimension so is the God. The concept of fourth dimension can be illustrated by using two dimension.

Suppose there is a giant balloon that is continuously being blown into. On the surface live two dimensional beings in their two dimensional villages. What they see is that the villages are running away from each other, because of the balloon being blown into, but they can't comprehend whether this balloon has a beginning or an end. No matter whatever they invent they will never be able to comprehend it. So this balloon is a simile for our universe(with its galaxies running away from each other) and the person who is blowing the balloon, a three dimensional Noah for the case of two-dimensional beings can be considered to be a God.

The end of the film Men in Black puts this idea in a very beautiful way, that our whole universe is within a marble and several octopi are playing football with it.
