The mysteries of the universe fascinate me. I recall reading an extract from " The brief history of time" on the movement of stars. It can't believe myself for finding a concept of physics so damn fascinating . It says that the position of a star changes by the time it becomes visible to us. Light takes a second to cover 3 lac kms and certain stars are so distant from the earth that by the time we are able to see them, they have already moved miles away. Imagine looking at a star in a dark night, sharing your thoughts with it and realising that it was an illusion. This brings about a mysterious connection between the physical reality and the abstract. Everything in the universe is relative and an absolute reality doesn't exist. Time which is said to be the essence of life is itself governed by frames of references. This very moment when i am sitting in my MBA class listening to a lecture on infrastructure, itself may be an illusion. Every moment that is passing by would have been seen by someone else before me and would be seen by somebody else after me. the very fact of time being a relative concept negates the theory of it being lost as soon as it goes by. Every thing in the universe stays here only and comes back as per a predecided cycle. Does it mean that i am living a framed life and everything around me is actually stagnant, not subject to any kind of expansion. What is now, was there, ever since time existed and will be there till time ceases to exist. The same might be true for all the inhabitants of the universe too...hmmm then i may get a chance to meet alexander some day.
