As you like it..

Most of us have fantasies to travel in time like in Spielberg movies and dream about violating the fundamental law of nature by oscillating to and fro in fourth dimension. We always wish to overcome that power which confines us to stay only in present but neither in future nor in past. Technological advancements might give us another version of Jurassic Park in 3D but can they bring back those real-time footage of Mesozoic era? Scientific developments might further delay our death but can they reveal us the birth of life? What if we can see our ancestors solving our unanswered questions of evolution? What if we get to shoot the world before the invention of photography? Ladies and gentlemen, fasten your seat belts and relax! Here we land on the timeless planet with jobless people who studied quantum physics a bit seriously!

For a while let’s admire the real stars not on the silver screen but on the screen high above the clear night-sky. If you have never tried counting them as kids or locate your favorite constellations you've missed some life past then. Well, as soon as we grew few inches after reciting our favorite rhyme of the twinkling little stars, we have realized that those tiny diamonds in the sky are extremely large to imagine and are hanging in a far away place beyond the horizons and zeniths.  The only reason for them to appear up there, the very identity for those shiny masses and in fact the sole cause for them to be our topic is that brilliant five letter particle(or wave) called l-i-g-h-t. All we know about the luminosity of a star as a geeky chemical reaction that produces light and those rays keep on travelling till they fall on our retina. As a matter of fact anything that shines reflects some light to remain visible. For example, every one of us reflects light though with different amounts of brightness (No I’m no racist). One interesting fact out of this entire story is that light keeps on travelling infinitely large distances forever, which in turn means that, far away objects like stars might have been black holes ages ago.

Imagine the light reflected by an arbitrary extinct species of yester year. It must have already traveled zillions of light years and must be still in the unending celestial navigation being dampened after too many Doppler effects searching for its destination i.e. some random alien checking out through a telescope up there might be lucky to see a sleuth of koala bears making love or a flock of archaeopteryx fighting over prey. All we need to do would be recording that and transmitting back into our storage devices. Although it surprisingly sounds simple, one should notice the advanced rocket science behind this and most importantly the involvement of extra terrestrials. After the amendment in the federal law (Title 14, Section 1211) which forbids the citizens to have any contact of extraterrestrials, ET-Exposure has been the buzz word during the previous decade. This has now given a wider scope for the space-man to brag a bit more than the big bang. Meanwhile the recent neutrino experiment at CERN disproved the famous theory of relativity by claiming light as another particle (or wave) that can be chased after all. RIP Einstein. So if not the tide, at least the time waits.

Friends, Readers and Dreamers; lend me your eyes; I come to fill them with vision, and not to bury the dreams. Every dream has been our friend, faithful and just to us but people say we’re ambitious. Bear with me. None has lost any reason. Let’s not leave the past dead. Rewind the clocks and erase your history. Live every moment and refuse to grow. Trace back the sand prints. Strive to even win back the minutes you've lost while reading me. Throw some life at your subconscious. Stop your worries for the future. Time seems infinite both ways.
