All
of us with reasonable intelligence and free spirit should have thought about
the possibility of a higher order in this universe. Who am I? How did I come
into being? What create order in this universe? And many more of such
existentialistic questions. There are no answers to these questions so far.
The
existence of the fundamental building block of this universe is only a
statistical probability. Which way a subatomic particle move is unpredictable.
If there is unpredictability at this fundamental level that is only going to
magnify as those particles combine to form mega complexes, which we all are
made up of. But we still go to sleep everyday certain of tomorrow’s sunrise. We
plan way ahead of time assuming earth will stay in course. Earth is just an electron
circling around the nucleus of an atom ‘Solarius(So)’ in the universe of Gargantuanian brobdingnagians. Is
everything in this Universe is just a harmonious execution of physical laws?
Are we all just a cosmic happenstance? In the infinite cosmic time, just a
momentary coexistence of particles? No one have the answers. Where do we stand
in this Universe? What lies beyond everything that we can perceive? As a humble statistical probability existing on this giant electron all I have is a humbling feeling of insignificance and all I do is to share words of another uncertain human being:
“Everyone
who is seriously involved in the pursuit of science becomes convinced that a
spirit is manifest in the laws of the Universe. A spirit vastly superior to
that of man and one in the face of which we with our modest powers must feel
humble. In this way the pursuit of science lead to a religious feeling of a
special sort, which is indeed quite different from the religiosity of someone
more naïve”- A. Einstein
