Do Aliens Exist

The movie Interstellar does indeed offer an interesting insight about the existence of higher beings than ourselves. Inside the tesseract Cooper tells TARS that the higher beings who are helping them are none other than their future generations. 

It indeed is quite possible that in fact there are no other organisms existing on different planets but instead they are our future selves. We may only know this for sure when we solve the problem of quantum gravity. It also comes from the fact that time is just another dimension like the current 3 dimensional world which we are currently viewing. As we make progress through our evolution it is possible to experience higher dimensions which require much more than our basic senses. 

Consider an example. Every memory which you live or dream of your so called past is basically time travel. There is a concept known as mental time travel which encompasses this beautifully. Maybe the reason why no one has come to visit us is because they can't exist physically in that dimension. Just because we are not able to see anyone from the future or hear or touch them doesn't mean that time travel is impossible. Maybe the instances which we feel of supernatural beings communicating with us is infact our future generations looking out for us. Our brain may just be a communication device which allows us to travel through time. It may be the reason why we haven't discovered the underlying principles which govern it as it is equivalent to teaching a rat to study what it uses to survive. 

All this may sound like sci-fi but it maybe possible that this is reality. Reality may not be just what we experience through our five senses. To truly understand time as a fourth dimension we have to let go the thinking that we can travel through just like we travel through the 3 dimensions physically.  

So maybe the extra terrestrial life which we are looking out for is nothing other than future generation who have moved beyond the primitive five senses who do not consider moving physically as a means of travel but rather only a method to travel through 3 dimensions. For higher dimensions maybe we just don't have to move physically at all but instead try to glide though it with senses which we can't currently comprehend. 

Most of the ideas have been inspired from the movie Interstellar itself. It does indeed offer an interesting experience of what it would truly feel like to be able to comprehend 4 dimensions.

Time Travel

What if time travel doesn’t necessarily mean travelling back or forward in time but instead viewing a particular point in the universe from two different points at the same time. For example, if there is a star at a distance of 70 million light years from the earth any observation from that star means we are looking at 70 million years into the past i.e. time travel. So instead of moving back in time, we are essentially travelling to another point of reference instead.    The question   remains why haven’t we received any time travelers from the future. Maybe its possible for future time travelers not to be present on the reference point which it is observing at that exact moment as basically that would mean seeing its present. It can only observe the past as its existence is not possible in that time frame.   In a particular relative time its not possible for an individual to be present at two points simultaneously.   However than the question arises...

Champions Again: A Fan’s Catharsis After India’s 2024 T20 World Cup Triumph

The world is healing. There's background music being continuously played. I feel like dancing and singing my heart out.... Okay, enough of the melodramatic stuff. But hey, this is the stuff dreams are made of. India has won an ICC trophy after 11 years. A World Cup in any format after 13 years and a T20 World Cup after 17 years. I think I deserve a release after all those years of anguish. The last time I saw an Indian team lift a trophy was in the newspaper and highlights of the Champions Trophy. I couldn't see it live as it was already past midnight, and the match did not look like it would begin after the rain. The next day, the newspaper was filled with the team looking dashing in their white coats, highlights showing Dhoni jumping behind the stumps as Ashwin's ball spun away from that bald England spinner. The last time I watched an Indian team lift an ICC trophy live was the 2011 World Cup. It's the year I started watching cricket when my parents thought that at l...

Neuromorphic Computing

Imagine a scenario in which your computer works like your brain. I mean, instead of operating on boring bits of 1's and 0's, which we all know, your computer functions on spikes much like our "neurons" in the brain. Don't worry these computers are not being built by pieces of our brains(probably a good plot for a post-apocalyptic movie) but instead modelled on the basic phenomena in which our brains work. If this all seems too sci-fi for you, be prepared to be amazed. Although this field may seem to be new, it has been in existence since the 80s. Fun fact, before the usage of digital logic in computer systems, there was significant research going into the development of analog computers. The key difference between analog and digital is that digital basically works on low and high levels, while analog works over a range of values. Anyway, the reason for mentioning this is that analog computing forms a significant part in neuromorphic computing. In fact, neuromorphi...
