‘Do you believe in the big bang theory ? I do’

Big bang theory, the start of everything. It is believed to be the starting of formation of the large universe that we reside in. It is a hypothetical scientific phenomena which some people believe to be true, whereas others do not. It is the most accepted theory which is able to prove the formation of this universe. I recently felt I don’t really need some proof to confirm that it was true or not.

Have you ever felt the amount of energy residing within you trying to burst out and expand in all the directions wherever possible ? I feel it. What if, we are all just small universes, home to different creatures, out of which some find a way out and some stay within us forever. This feeling of bursting is quite prominent and consistent in us, where everyone just wants to get somewhere, but we do not really know where we want to go. Being a small dense ball trying to explode, we try to expand until we die. The universe, I think, also started this way, trying to come out, frustrated with everything around, just trying to burst giving birth to many parallel universes.

We all have that energy within, a spark to do something in life. We are motivated by greed, status and power, but none of this will actually let us explode to actually exist. The energy inside gets wasted into some unimportant things, which will pacify things, will let you go through some more years, until you finally die, a small ball of density with no energy left within. I believe everything we do is motivated by our vices, trying to diminish this energy within.

Various ideas have been floating through the web these days. A common fancy term has been coined “to find yourself”, an ultimate state of Nirvana. But where and when did we lose ourselves ? We created a world led by our desires, using the energy we had to satisfy those desires and finally ending, when we were intended to be. I tried to think and find out what these desires actually are ?

Desires are nothing but the extremes of our emotions, the situations when our energies are utilised to the fullest, which pacifies us preventing us from exploding. We love all extreme emotions. Love and hate, both are addictive. Domination and submission, everyone has a part of them which loves one of these. Everything we ever did, the Gods, we created were nothing but just a child of our desires- our desire to submit. I believe we are not capable enough to decipher God. Still we tried, made the people(universes) who exploded, our Gods, or messengers of Gods believing them to be the carriers of truth, creating a microscopic view, a view which pacified our desires and stopped us from expanding. Going by Newton’s third law of motion, God is that force, which compelled the star to burst and give birth to our universe. I am sure there would be many such stars which resulted in multiple universes.Still the nature of the universes which God actually created are driven by nature to expand. There needs to be some factor which will cause us to expand because other universes(people) do not control this Earth, but God does. So the world that we reside in ultimately became chaotic. Our greed and desires which were meant to pacify us, became the reason for this chaos. When this happened, we turned to more greater vices, attacking our emotions directly, believing in a God which other universes(people) created for us. We made ourselves so much important in this, believing we could be the ones to inherit the Kingdom of God. Are we that important ? I don’t think so.

But we were not made to stop, get satisfied and live a happy life. Enjoyment, happiness was not our purpose. History has proven that after an extremely great time, there are horrendous times. Science has the answer for this too. The total entropy of the system must remain constant. But what was the purpose of all this expansion ? Maybe nothing

But there must be some purpose. I try to think. The first reason, which I find most plausible, is that it was just a way to start a chain reaction, in which each universe would itself give birth to multiple other universes and the life, which we believe would keep on growing forever. Most of us either expand like the star which gave birth to this beautiful universe, or die imploding with all the energy, adding more entropy into the system. Talking about explosions, what does it actually mean for a person ? Even, I don’t know that. But there are factors pushing everyone everyday to their limits to maybe achieve the ultimate state, a state where we end all our desires, a state where life and death does not matter, a state where no other universe(person) matters, a state when we actually live by God’s purpose, giving birth to another beautiful universe making this world less chaotic and peaceful like the universe that we live in.
