I am everything and I am nothing..... A confused blabbering after a good Basic Astronomy class

Yesterday, was a bright sunday afternoon and a group of us, which I must mention was quite a motley crowd from students of 7 th standard to housewives and working professionals were all assembeled in a small room listening to the Basic astronomy workshop at "Akashmitra" - an astronomy club over here.

Well they showed us this video which I found to be particularly interesting. Do watch.





After watching the movie, I was simply amazed with the kind of symmetry that god has created in various things. We dont know anything about the 10 raise to power 27 m and what the sizes would be like and we dont know what is the world at -27th power of 10, it is all so amazing. we are here which we consider a power 0 plane and feel that the universe is too big and a DNA is too small. Its all so relative.

There is a whole lot of blabbering that is going on in my mind looking at this. Just trying to pen it down, it might not make much sense, but it might just be true.

I have a strong feeling that there in the DNA strands of mine there will be world more advanced, more advanced traces of lives living and extra sophisticated life at 10 raise to -45 m levels which we cannot even think of just the way we cannot think of 10 raise to 45 m sizes.

Similarly we might be a tiny part of a football of some giant beings at an unconcievable size. And there might be some sophisticated guy at 10 raise to -45 m who in his astronomy class might be studying about humans the way we study galaxies.

We are searching lives in our planetary neighbourhood but life might be existing in any form, at any level of magnitude, it is just that we cannot conceive how it would be. There might be some being at a size of 10 to the power 50 who doesnot even understand or have not yet found that there is a tiny thing called solar system in our world. Its all so possible and its all so unknown.

Thank you God for creating this absolutely wonderful universe (I dont know a bigger word which covers everything).

The video is really good. An excellent perspective, must say.
