Time Loop

They say that the future cannot be remembered. It is only the past that has happened can be recalled. Only some very highly intelligent beings ask a question like this- 'why is time moving the way it is moving?' Well, for one there is the arrow of time (there are three arrows actually) which like all arrows, points straight. Hence we move in a direction that the arrow is following, and arrive not ahead, but always with the arrow. It is almost implusible to think in terms of this current universe and still say that time can run backwards.Almost all laws and theories are based on the observable universe around us ie, an ever expanding universe. And with that expansion also comes the arrow of time moving in the same direction. So it is a foregone conclusion that time will always be told in past and present, never in the future. Nearly so. How about time not being an arrow? Can it not be a loop? Yeah, lets take a plain paper and draw an elongated loop and call it the time loop. The loop would have two curves(since it is elongated), so on each curve one can write either exanding universe or contracting univese. Theoritically it is possible to have a contracting universe, just the opposite of the current one. Now what happens to time? Well it looses all sense of direction! A bloody loop can go any which way and never be able to point either the future or the past! What is behind us can be termed as future because time is now bound by a cyclic motion instead of a linear one. The absurd idea of time is further doomed to more absurdities by this simple change of thought.There are however two points in this loop which do not satisfy physical laws. These are the points within the loop which has the beginning and the end of the contraction and expansion. During such a phase, all laws of physics break down because of the unpredictibility of the next moment. Considering that big bang is a dependable scenario, then it is universally agreed that the very next moment of the big bang is not measurable and uncertain. Otherwise if time is considered to be constant with no particular beginning, then it suits to say that it holds true even if some accepted laws do not hold during a singularity. So the ageless miracle of matter exploding and expanding and finally turning back to gather in a point does allow an endless rotating value of time. From past to present, then to furure, and furthermore to past and again to present! It is not so absurd anymore. A loop solves the great promblem temporarily.We can remember the future after all.

A Survivor Lives

Existence can be described as the state of matter in this universe in its present form or otherwise found, with changes taking place as time passes. With time some matter ceases to exist as we understand it, but is still in existence in some other form elsewhere.We all exist in a given situation,that enables all that is found to be in that condition without being disturbed or thown into instabilities. And consciousness as we understand it, is also a part and parcel of the same state of being required to go to the next logical, universally acceptable state.Your consciousness must follow the law of nature to enable the body to live another moment. For example, awareness about a raging fire to cause hazard can be termed as a conscious effort which is a prerequisite to life.The level of consciousness that we are so proud of; calling ourselves the supreme beings on earth is but a mere coincidence by which we have acquired a set of behavioral patterns absolutely essential for existence.
Somehow all that is there is also conscious by default, no matter what the level is or if it makes any sense to us or not.A single cell bacteria shall not be part of this universe if its not in a conscious state, it also needs a law dictated by nature to carry on the legacy of its kind. Subsequently the law applies to each and every particle and wave that is part of this universe, a program to know how to go about in nature; a collective yet diverse consciouness. It might seem implausible to think that a piece of cheese you ate an hour ago had a feeling, maybe not according to your standard, but yes definetly the components of a piece of cheese were and are still alive to the law that guides them-an undying, unrelenting, unpreturbed, pinpoint precision bearing near mechanical law of consciouness.Hence we see things performing the tasks without a break, nothing ever stops, not even the human body when no more;nature just carries on and on. When its established that things always change to another state, it is but natural for us human beings to accept that this form along with this hallowed consciousness will also don a new garb in time. So we can say that the consiousness of us shall prevail as it did millions of years ago when life first kicked to start under the ocean bed.Or even before that when the supposed big bang did occur, one of the billions of scattered star systems was carrying our consciousness to manifest at a later stage. We are part of the cosmic theater, just that our role seems a bit more important. It is really not, nobody out there cares or even is bothered with our life on the blue planet, in fact most of the co -habitants on earth itself are not aware we exist. On the same line, any number of explorations or implorations or table thumping, lung bursting assertions of our might shall not be heard by the forces that are so critical to existence in its current form. As prescribed by the law ,one act shall come to an end to let another set of actors to take part and play the next. But no matter how many acts change, we and the entire crew will always be part of it.Matter never dies. End they say is only the beginning.

Spinning Tops

Life as we see it is about a journey of a very whirlwind kind where every step is a reveletion in emotional and mental tumoil. Every step is a learning process, a juxtaposition of our faiths and beliefs, our prejudices; the very learning curve is as such an unpredictable pathway. We see, we follow, we reject, we accept according to what has been filtered in the subconscious and conscious self. A tinted glass measures the amount of light we let in. More often than not, we have led the life given to us not just physically, but on a more undefined, inner way by someone else;just that many of us are never aware of the same. We are simple emoticons created and modified by a developer/s(no not the surreal one, never!). Come to think of it, saying something that was taught to you, or you read somewhere, or seen someone doing, comes as the most natural thing to do;unquestionable. Whereas the most important part of life that is the best thing ever to your very existence, your very own voice, is unheard, unheeded at all times. Imagine a top, set to spin in an indoor stadium. And let us also presume that it spins in a remote part of the stadium. It would go on spinning for the period of its spin cycle without any confrontation, unware,ignorant, but happy in its lonesome spining life. Now lets fill the stadium with billions of spinning tops in different time gaps. There would be innumerable number of combinations and spin routes in such a scenario.A set of tops would always be around each other, circling themselves, complimenting each other. Another set, only a couple stay close all along. Some bounce off each other and meet a different set every time. A lot of them will not be able to sustain the spin in frequent collisions and fall off-balanced. So are some who would spin till the last, eventually winning a virtual spin compitition. What's spinning tops got to do with us?They are very much like us;set to spin by someone else, our makers, the ones we follow, we emulate.The lone spinner in the beginning was the one who didn't get affected by circumstances. It spun oblivious to its counterparts, the rule breaker.The couple were the so called soulmates who always find their world within themselves irrespective of the conditions.The group we saw was a close circle of friends, indulgent in themselves but fiercely opposed to outsiders or intruders.They only compliment each other, rest to them are non entities. The ones which collided were the toms and jerries of this world. We always see such characters around us, beating or getting beaten.The fallen tops are the ones who suffered because of unrelenting pressure, their incapabilities, and their lack of adaptibility. The ones which met a different group every time were the social climbers, the opportunists, palm greasers out to make a gaudy mark on every occasion that suits them. All of us have this streak, whether we like it or not.Tops which finished last were the go getters, the high positioned achievers who like to beat every body including their own family.The stadium itself is called indoor because of the closed, suffocating nature of human society. The vast world outside it is almost out of bounds as the we are all; busy seeing what is shown, blind to the surroundings and possibilities. Some would disagree saying, no i charted my own path. i tell them to take a closer look, the path they chose was not different, only it was not the one they themselves thought they would take. i ask them, can you also say the same about the dependents that you have, or may have? Will you allow them to chart their own path or pave their way all along.The top which spun alone had no attachment or detachment when it came to an end of its cycle, it was set to spin by someone but it neither followed the hands to live, nor depended on the others course to decide its own. It was the mercurial emperor with no likes and dislikes. No friends, no enemies.A one in a billion billion prodigy.
