A little post

The old and wise people, long gone now, believed that teleportation and telepathy could be achieved with the mind. They said that if you wanted to go to a different place in an instant, all you had to do was WANT (and i mean really want!) to got to that place so much that if you closed your eyes and convinced your mind that you were at that place, then you would find yourself there.
It works the same way for telepathy too. You need to really WANT to talk to that person through all the distance and the barriers.
How all of this might work, I'm not really sure. But, I think it has something to do with Mind being over Matter.

For eternity

They say that there was a galaxy once upon a time, that existed for only a second. Where and when the galaxy went, I cannot quite explain. Neither can i explain its disappearance. From whatever information I have been able to gather, this is what happened - the galaxy seemed to just fade away. Stars died, gases dissolved in space and the galaxy was gone (probably because of a black hole that must have formed due to the death of a star or something). Anyway, this has nothing to do with what the point of this post is supposed to be.
What I really wonder about was whether the galaxy lived for just one second or 10^9 nanoseconds.
If a nanosecond in the galaxy seemed as much as a 100,000 years seems in our galaxy, then this galaxy didn't exist for just a second but existed for an eternity.
And what if a 10,000,000 years for us seems like just a second in another place? It would mean existing for eternity in another eternity. The universe may thus, seem to us like it's going to exist forever because inside every "forever" is another "forever".

Dimensionless

If you know anything about how the system of dimensions works, you would know that there may be a dimension in which you may be a lonely bar tender, or another in which you're a genius crime investigator, or another in which you don't exist, or another, or another......so on.
What you did not know is that there are some.... a handful perhaps, who exist only in one dimension. They're born not belonging to any dimension. This means that it's not only one dimension they exist in, but they can exist in any dimension they want at any point of time.
Most of these, okay, all of these people have the power to detect the presence of an opening to another dimension and travel through space and time and dimensions. They can feel the presence of another dimension when they pass by. (okay it's not as easy as that! But there's no doubt that they don't have a special ability that the rest of us don't or haven't been able to develop.)
Such people are called "Wanderers." There are about 10 wanderers known to us so far. Some are do-gooders. One of them tried to make people he met fit in and if they didn't fit in in their dimension, he'd take them to another.Some on the other hand were quite the evil geniuses. Take Wander for example (He's changed his name to that. Nobody knows his real name.) At first, he used to steal money from large corporate banks and sneak off to another dimension. But, his mind powers developed (as they do for Wanderers) to such an extent that he tried to steal planets in to another dimension where he planned to start his very own galactic empire. It may have worked too and Ishnaa may not have been able to stop him if it weren't for one of those planets spinning out of orbit and on a collision course for another because he miscalculated the gravitational force. The only way to stop that was to turn back time.... which Wander managed to do(because he isn't that evil!). Henceforth, Wander was kept on an isolated planet where people occasionally came to visit him so he doesn't go completely mad(if you know what i'm saying). This is where Ishnaa meets him.

Thief of Luck - Sounds like the Universe

He sat by the river concentrating as hard as he could. Listening to the sound of the universe is difficult to accomplish. But,Wander had mastered the art of listening. He heard the sound of water flowing, the whistle of the wind,the swish of the blades of grass...."concentrate harder", he thought to himself. As he listened past the sounds of his everyday life, a single note seemed to vibrate. It got louder and louder....till his head seemed completely filled and about to explode with the sound. The resonance in his brain was making it harder and more painful to concentrate. But, then he remembered - "The ears are for hearing. The mind is for listening and the mind is infinite..." A smile ran across his face. The pain disappeared and the sound became silence. Faintly, he listened to the the sound of the electrons revolving, the sound of quarks and strings vibrating,the sound of gravity,the unraveling of threads in the fabric of space and time...that's the one he wanted. He listened for it a little harder. It was only a single strand but there would be an infinitely large gap in the universe when that strand opens up."I wonder where and when this opening would lead to." In a small instant, his concentration was broken when he felt someone hold him up by his collar. He opened his eyes to find Ishnaa looking down at him."Hello Wander.Remember me?"

Unblanketted Dreams

Once upon a time,there lived a boy with a blank mind. The past being long forgotten, he grew up to be a man with a blank mind.There was nothing that the man had to do. Nil had he to say to anyone and zilch had he to remember.People saw him wandering aimlessly around the universe or sitting down in any place not knowing why he chose to sit there and then.What was his name? I'd tell you if he had remembered it and told it to someone!
However,a curious,young fellow named Ves went in search of this man after hearing about him.He wondered, "how could a mind be blank? There must be something that he thinks about."
After travelling for many many years as Ves got lost due to bad directions given by arbit strangers, he found this man by chance in one of the many worlds in the universe.To his astonishment,he found the man's mind was in fact blank!But, how can that be?This does not make sense.It is impossible!Unable to take in this fact, he continued to pursue the man.
One seemingly ordinary day,something extraordinary happened.The strange man was sleeping.Ves sat beside him thinking about how no thoughts must be running in that mind even as he sleeps.Suddenly,everything seemed to change around him.The ground beneath him vanished.The blue sky changed to black.He found himself floating in nothing. And then it all flashed by him. He saw worlds being built. Worlds with purple seas and moons in shades of grey and gold.He saw skies being painted.Painted to perfection if there was something to measure perfect.And worlds were destroyed before his eyes.Hills and mountains crumbled to water! Some even vanished into nothing as if they never existed and it was true....they never existed.And as he saw the magnitude of the entire universe he felt the magnitude of it.The great,heavy,powerful magnitude of it.It was at that point of time that he could no longer bear any of it that he woke up, realising that he had been sleeping the whole time.He looked all around him and saw that everything was exactly the same.He saw the man sleeping next to him.He sat back down next to the man and calmed himself down.The colour of the sky changed as evening became night. Ves looked at it.Marvelled it.And then,he headed back home.

Love stories of the cosmos

Love - that universal feeling that can act as an arbitrator between two or more communities, create confusion unlike any other force, start great wars that change the course of history, bring those great wars to an end etc.
And great, exaggerated stories of love that continue to keep beings obsessed with love, are always told.
This post here comprises of the top 5 love stories of the cosmos.

NO.5: The blind cyclops and the one-eared Armatian

This story is about a blind cyclops who falls in love when he hears the enchanting voice of an Armatian.For the information of those who don't know who Armatians are,
they are all female beings from the planet Arms and considered to be the most beautiful of all.The Armatian fell in love with the cyclops too and came to sing for him everyday.
The cyclops went to a high technology hospital where they repaired his eye.But,when he comes back to meet the Armatian whom he had fallen in love with,he is shocked to find that the Armatian beauty did not have one ear and wasn't a beauty at all,quite the opposite in fact.In his pride,he pokes his eye out and lets out an annoyingly loud scream.The Armatian,in her grief,lops her only ear off(of course,it was also to shut out the never-ending loud scream that continued to echo in her head.Stupid Armatians...).
You can see why this story is no.5.

NO.4:The Narcissist and the unknown beautiful stalker

This tale is about a man,Edon, who is so beautiful that he falls in love with himself from the 12th dimension from this one. Everyday he'd go through a tear in the space fabric to the 12th dimension to stalk himself. But,on one of his journeys an unknown beautiful woman from the 5th dimension,who was travelling through the same tear, falls in love with him and starts stalking him. Eventually, the unknown beautiful stalker snaps the man out of love with himself and in love with her.
Quite the romantic comedy.

NO.3:Looking through the wormhole

This story is about an Earth woman Debbie whose mail box happened to be a wormhole. All her letters,fortunately,kept getting delivered to the wrong address.Millions of light years away,on the other end of the mailbox,lived a man,Aros,who recieved every letter from Debbie and fell in love with her. He sent back letters to Debbie from his end of the wormhole and that was the start of a great long distance romance.
In the end, Aros braves the journey through the wormhole to reach Debbie. The comic twist in the tale is that when he comes out at the other end,both of them realise that Aros was exactly the size of the opening for letters in the mail box.

No.2:Loop me to be no older than you!

Rad was the top of his class in Science. He was no doubt a genius and was one of the few to be offered on an educational tour of the universe. On one of the planets that he visited, he falls in love with Cloe,an inhabitant of the planet who falls right back in love with him. Unfortunately,for the both of them,Cloe aged a 100 years in one day for Rad.
Rad,being the genius that he is, finds a way to create a loop in the timeline and travels back everyday to meet a Cloe exactly 1 day older.

No.1: Romeo and Juliet

Congratulations Earthlings!

Elemental Quark Music - special post!

This post is about Elemental Quark music. Although,and I must confess, I haven't understood it completely myself, I can give you a basic picture of what it really is.

Here is where my explanation begins -
The note middle C is supposed to be a sound wave having frequency 256Hz.The higher C is of frequency 512Hz and it goes on in powers of 2. The notes in between middle C and the higher octave C consist of all the frequencies between 256hz and 512Hz. These are usually equally spaced(you do the math cause I've already done it!) and so you get the notes C#,D,D#,E,F,F#,G,G#,A,A# and B.

Elemental Quark is without divisions and equal spacing. What you end up getting is the complete frequency spectrum.So, you get notes that are not only C,C#,but also everything between C and C#.

Of course, you'll probably be wondering how things aren't discordant in such a form of music. The answer to this question is 2 words - "Acquired taste."

If you've noticed, Earthlings have already started using a rudimentary form of this music. Pitch bending is a technology that gives you access to all the notes. Apart from this, a technique of hitting the right notes at the right time (although, it may seem arbit) is shown with great precision in many forms of Jazz.

Some of the popular Elemental Quark bands are -
a) Ked Lepellin - I've already mentioned them before. These guys play hard core Elemental Quark and are by far the most popular of all.Their most listened to song is called Star Cruiser.

b) Death, Soul and Dark Lords - They play dark core elemental quark. They're good if you're into that kind of stuff. Their most listened to song is called "Die! All creatures of the universe."

c) Scaling time - They play Smooth core elemental quark music. Listening to this kind of music reminds most species of silk (we're not the only one's who have silk!).
Their most listened to song is called "worm my way into the black hole."

Thief of luck - Targets can never be missed

This was it. One ship was all it took. She just needed to shoot down one ship. The one ship that had the neon-mercury chip on it. The one that stayed the furthest away from her...too scared to come close to her ship knowing that she never missed her targets. This was too easy. She made a sudden dive to confuse the target ship's pilot. She flew as fast as possible through the chaos of the battle and came out behind her target. This pilot was an amateur and taking him down was going to make her feel sorry for him. But, she had no choice. She got her target on lock and fired a ballistic missile at the ship. It missed. She looked at it in shock."OK.Relax.So I missed. I'll just try again." Her heart pounded. "MISSED! She had never ever missed a target in her entire life. And this was too easy a target to miss." The pilot swerved around to face her and fired a viper at her. Vipers? the enemy had vipers. This was definitely not good. Vipers tracked their targets. They were smart missiles. An inbuilt chip helped the viper identify the target at a radius of 100 metres and change it's course. This was very high technology. Too high for amateurs like these to possess.
Anyway, Ishnaa was an incredible pilot and had faced more challenging situations than this. She flew around in circles increasing her speed and radius till she got out of the 100 metres range. She swerved around and fired a laser at the viper to set it off once she was out of range.She swooped down after spotting the pilot and this time fired a laser at the ship. Lasers were too fast to get away from,even though,the damage was minimal. The laser seemed to unusually miss. She didn't think she saw it wrong. The laser missed. It didn't get deflected. It actually missed. This was absurd. A top officer like her did not miss so often.Something was terribly wrong here. It was like bad luck.
"Okay. No time to think about what's wrong."
"Ishnaa to Braze."
"Braze here. what's the problem?"
"Something very strange is happening here.I need you to try and take out the ship next to me.Do you see it?"
"I see it. I'm coming."
Braze was a pilot she could trust.Brilliance and modesty. They worked very well for him. He came at the ship from above and fired a bomb at the ship. Meanwhile, she kept firing lasers at him that kept missing him but managed to distract him a little, even though he seemed least bothered about the lasers, like he knew they were all going to miss. But, the distraction was insignificant. He dodged the bomb as easy as pie.(yes, they did have pies then in outer space. Btw, this was more than an era ago). As easy as pie. The pilot was definitely not an amateur like she thought. He tilted the ship while he curved and turned it upside down from where he unexpectedly fired a ballistic missle at Braze who had seconds to maneuvre his ship. The right wing got hit and Braze's ship was no longer good enough to be controlled. Ishnaa dived down and opened the canopy to let braze fall in as he ejected out of the ship. "phew! That was close. What in the world is going on here?"
Ishnaa looked up at the pilot above who gave her a thumbs up and warped out of the area. The rest of the enemy troops warped themselves out as well.
This mission was definitely not a success.
She clenched her fists. Something strange was going on here. And she was going to get to the bottom of this....
