A Possible New Vision


Think for a moment about how diversified our Earth is. There are millions of species in the living world (plants, animals, humans) and innumerable kinds of minerals. Several sciences study the different kinds of "stuff" existing on the Earth's surface. There are also other fields the human mind likes to engage in. Music, arts, dance, spiritual research, creative writing and....Physics! Although I like them all, especially spiritual/theoretical/practical research and, of course, writing, physics is the one that leaves me in awe. Starting from Positive Thinking and soul searching, I found out that knowing more about the actual substance we, the world, the Universe, are made of, creates a wider breath for a more complete pursuit. What about learning more about the mysterious, unknown "something" that exists beyond our grasp? Physicists have tried  (and will probably go on trying forever) to discover more and more.... I find  physics to be the most creative field of human knowledge. Why? Because scientists imagine innumerable, incredible, unbelievable things, they come up with theories that, at first, most people laugh at. So, what would you say about the recent theory of a Multiverse? How would it feel if you were told that you may be part of an incredibly huge pattern, bigger than our known Universe, that you might even have a duplicate of yourself in a parallel Universe? If you are contented with your daily routine (house, work, sleep...), you wouldn't care at all. But if you felt you belong in a wider beautiful creation that needs also YOU to be complete, the vision of yourself might dramatically change. Absurd? Science fiction? Maybe. But don't forget that Renaissance astronomer Copernicus shattered the universally accepted belief that the Earth was at the center of the Universe, by declaring that it was just a planet orbiting around the sun. No one believed him, as no one believed Columbus when he affirmed that the Earth was not flat but round. Eventually they were both proven right. So....?
