A layman's view

Right from the very beginning, man was curious and inquisitive way beyond saturation point. In fact our civilization had flourished by just asking “why?”. So, could there be race any superior to ours? No? Why? I mean, why not?

Man had been intrigued by what happened to him within his noticeable domains…sensible right? So, he went about in search of the answers as to why they happened and then he found that the answers were really senseless. Leading to another question and then yet another. While we were busy knowing how the birds fly, we failed to ask why the birds fly…to move? Why should anything move? How did, in the first place, movement come into existence and what is existence? This is when I feel a hint of a superior civilization to ours, that, which created the small domain that we call ‘the universe’.
We invented everything from a ball pin to an international space station, from hardware to software and wars to natural calamities! What ability was it, which helped us perform these elephantine tasks? May be we were made to do all these…may be all this is what we call in human as an ‘experiment’. May be we are all controlled…

Everything is said to have formed from big bang. How did big bang occur? May be it was the start of this experiment on us or on what we call our ‘world’, rather.

Then why don’t we know that we are being controlled? Well let me ask you something-does a computer program actually ‘know’ that it is being controlled by the computer? Does the computer really know that it is being controlled by the chip within? Does a computer chip know it is being controlled by various elements? It is something similar to all these. Everything around us happens as it happens because it is probably ‘run’ that way. Have you ever wondered why a body has to move in the direction of force applied on it and not against it? Why does force even exist? Why does energy exist? Why are all these elements of nature immortal unlike us? If we try to talk in a programmer’s language, may be force energy and matter were like library functions in a language called ‘universe’ that were used to create programs which govern how things are supposed to happen.

I say, we are still trying to know the codes of these programs ignoring what lies beneath…what made these codes…another dimension we fail to think in, a dimension were rationality fails to exist, where our universe is simulated on a ‘computer’ and when the power supply is cut, we simply do not exist!
