If you wish to be truly awed, and amazed as though you
were once again a child discovering your first snow fall,
hop into your vehicle, and haul yourself to the nearest book
store, grab a magazine on astronomy, or go to ,
and behold the pictures of the heavens --- and as you gaze,
keep in mind that all those objects are really out there!
You will have just opened your mind to the cosmos; the home
of a truly intricate, inter-acting, coherent congregation of
stars, nebulas, galaxies, black holes, comets, asteroids,
meteors, planets, and a host of other items.
Every one of them is awesome in it’s own right, and as
they dance in concert with one another, they become a
kaleidoscopic vision of illusions, distortions, refractions,
and reflections. They are a natural high that will embed
themselves into your life. They go about their seemingly
everlasting evolving totally unaware we, or any other life
forms, exist ---yet, they provide mysteries for us to solve,
and give us reasons to be alive and dream. It wasn’t long
before I realized I would never be the same, and soon
appreciated the facts that we are not alone, our
possibilities are never ending, and as the late Carl Sagan
put it: “We Are Star Stuff!”
Even though much of the macrocosm completely defies
mankind’s logic, we have a plausible concept of how it
formed, how it functions, and that it’s going “somewhere”
--- however, we are 100% ignorant of what it is, it’s
destination, or it’s purpose. the magnitude of the universe
is truly immense by any standards, for it is currently
estimated to be approximately 11 to 15 billion light-years.
and of that time, on the cosmic calendar, we human genetic
codes have been around for about a whole 2 or 3
o, if you wish, you can tell everyone you are
still a youngster, and be telling the truth. isn’t it nice
to know that everything is relative?
If you think that’s incredible, consider this mystery.
the faster you go, time slows down. Yep, it’s called “time
dilation.”
Characteristically; it became a lot more profuse than
that when Albert Einstein determined we didn’t have an
adequate amount of puzzles and mysteries to keep our
cerebellum’s occupied; so, in his spare time, he enumerated
for awhile as to how simple, and yet complex, he could make
it for us.
Being the genius he was, he succeeded, and dashed off
a tiny, clandestine, and verifiable truth: E=MC2. Well, the
old adage “the biggest surprises are in the smallest boxes”
(or something like that) held sway. “The dung hit the fan”,
“All hell broke loose”, ow we have “time dilation”,
and “spooky action at a distance.” And if that wasn’t enough
to cause many others to estrange themselves from him, the
dang theory revealed “space,” “time,” and “matter” were
having one heck of an argument as to who was in charge.
“Space,” which is not really empty it turns out, is telling
“matter” and “time” where to go, and “matter” is telling
“space” and “time” when and where to bend.
Consequently, “time” got all ticked off, went into a
real tizzy, and threw some deception into the melee. Now, we
not only have “time zones”, but everyone’s time is
different. As a result, we may know what time we think it
is, but we have no clue as to what time we are in. And if
you believe that’s unsettling, we are not even aware if we
are moving “with’ or “through” time---dang; it’s no wonder
we are all late sometimes!
Even though most of us have relatives we are only
relatively happy with, I’m quite certain we all realize
everything is relative. For instance, we humans may believe
we are at the top of the “food chain”. But there is a very
long list of other creatures out there who would love to
have the opportunity to dispute that claim – the “relative”
aspect becomes a very significant major factor when we
discover how fast our legs will propel us in the shortest
possible time, over the longest possible distance, in
relation to how fast their legs will propel them over the
same distance, and within the same time frame.
Therefore; since, on the cosmic calendar, we have only
been screwing up our earthly habitat for about 22 seconds or
so, my theory is that we humanoids are important in the
grand scheme of things, to the extent we are either an
“accident” or an “infection” ... either way; my guess is
sometime in the future, our light-gathering telescopes will
disclose what seems to be a gigantic cosmic needle heading
our way, with an obvious purpose in mind.
Maybe we are, and maybe we are not, aware of it, but
we all have someone who loves us, and wants us to be here
for a long, long time. Please, take care of yourself the
best you nd while you are at it, you may want to take
a longer and deeper look into our universe, for it is worth
it.
