Crank the Dial

The world is a fucked up place.

But when I say that, I'm not stating that the world is a bad place or anything like that.

I'm stating that the world is a truly incredible and awe-inspiring thing...so much so that it's fucked up.

There are billions of processes that are continuously going on every second of every day. These processes are what create and stabilize all life. From cells duplicating, to changes in matter, to processes that I've never even heard of; its all incredible. Now, I'm not much for science (creative student represent AWWWWW YEAHHHHH), but I do understand how incredible this is.

But even now, I'm speaking small scale. Forget the world, how about the UNIVERSE! We know SO LITTLE about the universe, its insane! Is the universe truly infinite? Is there only one universe? What exactly IS a universe? NO. ONE. KNOWS. And I find that to be incredible (yet also a tad disappointing). The universe is full of wonders that are (currently) way beyond our capabilities of comprehension. And I find that to be incredible.

But what about this?

Imagine all of our known existence as a radio station (that’s right…it’s METAPHOR TIME!).  Us as listeners, we tune in to the same station every day. We’re used to it, and we are comfortable with what that station shows us. We are comfortable with THAT EXISTENCE.

But what if we cranked the dial? Instead of listening to 102.1, we decide to listen to 99.9? What does that mean? What would we be “listening” to?

A different existence.

Time to bring in science: THE MULTI-VERSE THEORY

The multiverse (or meta-universe) is the hypothetical set of multiple possible universes (including the historical universe we consistently experience) that together comprise everything that exists and can exist: the entirety of space, time, matter, and energy as well as the physical laws and constants that describe them. – Wikipedia (AKA THE BEST SOURCE EVER)

WHAT IF there are multiple universes. What if radio station 99.9 is a place where everything is blue, humans (or other forms of existence) are see-through, and the sky is on the ground?

Is that possible? I have absolutely no idea, but I find it important that if one is to appreciate the impressiveness of the laws of our world, one must understand how someone would feel outside looking in.

Meaning that if we were to visit radio station 99.9, we would be in total shock. But that form is existence is the norm for its inhabitants. And yet, we would be in awe.

And I GUARANTEE, if there are multiple universes, and some being from one of them came to ours, he/she/it would be in total awe as well.

Cause our universe is amazing in every way. It’s incredible, fascinating, and awe-inspiring. But the most important thing to remember is that we are part of that universe.

Thank you for reading. I hope you enjoyed this post.
