A letter to the man at the north edge of the universe

Dear man at the North Edge of the universe

I do not know your name. So please excuse me for calling you man at the north edge of the universe. They say that you have the answers to all the questions in the universe. I hope you do, cause I have a ton of questions to ask you.

Firstly, Why has this universe been created? for what purpose? Why do I exist? Why do you exist or anyone else exist? Why is there life? Is there a God who created us? If so, does God pay attention to what we do and what we don't? Does God listen to prayer? Is there a difference between good and bad?
Why do we feel happy? why do we feel sad? Why do we feel anger? why do we love? why do we hate? why do we find things funny and laugh? Is the universe really infinite? Does time really exist? Is the lifespan of the universe going to end someday? How did the universe begin? why is there gravity and electromagnetic and nuclear force? Why is the universe the way it is? Can a universe exist with different patterns from this one? Is the answer to all theses questions within the patterns that make up our universe or outside it? Are you really the only living soul inhabiting the North Edge?

I kindly request you to answer these questions. It is crucial that you do, as these are very important questions that I ponder over everyday and are taking up a lot of my time. Please give me lucid explanations to avoid any misinterpretations on my part.
Thank You

Yours curiously
Ishnaa

Dear Ishnaa

If I tell you the answers to those questions, I'd have to kill you.
However,thank you for writing to me. I was beginning to think that people have forgotten about me.

Yours sincerely

Around the universe for eternity

Jib Joy was a being who was happy all the time, until that fateful day. Nobody knows what exactly happened. Some say that the love of his life left him for another man. Some say that his brother killed the love of his life. Some say that the brother was the other man. Some say that the love of his life killed his brother. The stories keep coming. But, what that day left him with was an inextinguishable anger. In his boiling rage,he sat in his space craft and went on a journey around the entire universe. And yet, even after such a long and tedious journey(infinite), his anger hadn't waned. So he took another trip around the universe only to find that his anger had subsided only by a tiny bit. So Jib Joy spent many many eternities traveling around an infinite universe many many times until the end of his life. He never found peace.

I take my time for this kinda stuff!

This was an intense adventure for me. How did it begin?
It all started with Slick coming over to my house one night. He said "I have nothing to do and I'm getting extremely bored...." and I said "ok.Come on in." But,Slick didn't want to. He wanted to do something exciting and dangerous. So he took me on his spaceship to an ocean on a planet called Gol.This particular ocean had the most dangerous and gigantic waves and only the best surfers in the universe came and surfed there.
Slick wanted to surf on these waves at night!
I said "No way are you going into those waves!"
But, he ignored me and vanished into the waves.
I quickly took the ship out and started monitoring him from the ship.(just incase!)
But, in one split second he was engulfed by an giant wave and eaten by a whale.
I was shocked. Shocked at having lost my friend.
But, before my shock lessend,the ship happened to pass through a crab hole.
What is a crab hole? Well, I call it that cause not only does it take you to a different place, it also takes you to a different time.
Luckily for me, it took me to the place I was a split second ago and a time split second ago! What a coincidence!
Here was my chance to save Slick!
But the split second was over.
I went through the crab hole again.
Okay what do I do to save him?
Another split second gone by.
The teleportation beam of course!
Another split second gone by.
Okay where exactly is he?
Split second over.
There he is. Co-ordinates are....
split second.
Got it. "Computer.."
split second.
"Activate teleportation beam"
Many Many split seconds went by while I said this.
One more split second.
The teleportation beam picked up Slick just on time.
Split second over.
Slick said "woah...."
split second over.
He saw himself drown.
After many many many split seconds he figured out what happened.
We needed to get out of this loop in less than a split second.
So, Slick braked through the split seconds till the ship stopped and we were in the correct place at the time just after.
"Phew! that was close!" I said.
And that ends this particular adventure.

Over Chopin and a tender coconut

The title might seem a little absurd to you. So, let me explain why I've called this post as above.
I was listening to Etude NO.3 OP.10, composed by Chopin, and drinking water out of a tender coconut when I thought of yesterday's conversation with Rookie, La and Paddu.
It all started with Rookie asking me, "What's at the other end of a black hole?" and I replied, "I don't know."(and some other tiny thoughts that I'm going to skip).La thought that there could be a white hole at the other end of a black hole that spits everything out into its own universe.
And that's when we all realized that there are so many ways of looking at the universe. We are a bunch of completely clueless beings stuck with our own perception of the universe,not really knowing what to make of everything and nothing. Are there many universes or just one universe? Is there a God or not? The problem with this God idea is that it depends entirely on faith. But, having faith that God does exist can also mean that God maybe open to us asking(cause we don't have proof or anything) whether he really does exist. In which case we're back to where we started, does he really exist?
Now, this is where i have to point out, that I'm not a person who makes her thoughts very lucid to others. So, if you haven't exactly understood what I've said, then it's not your fault really.(What I mean to say is that you're not dumb......)
This entire blog is based on the perception that there are many universes, one for every decision that any of us beings make. That's a LOT of universes just for the Earthlings.(Of course, the Earth's population is much too high.) It is also based on a perception that everything is quite random.(So, all we need to do is make the best use of the randomness around us.)
But, going a little deeper, we come to the part where our emotions come into play. Why is it natural for us to feel bad when another being is hurt?(We can ignore it, not do anything etc... but at the end of the day, we cannot admit that we do not feel slightly concerned for the other being.)Or why is Art the way it is? (I hope you understand what I mean when I ask these questions. If you don't, you just need to think about it a little.)The problem is that the fact that God exists or doesn't, one universe or many, cannot imply the fact that any of this also happens.
It's like imagining nothing. It's easy for us to imagine everything, but what about imagining a nothing? That's a bit hard to do. So, do the answers to the BIG questions about the universe lie in Nothing or Everything?(Now, here, I'ver used Nothing and Everything as analogies in a funny way. I'm sorry I'm explaining my thoughts so horribly. I really do hope you understand what I'm really trying to say.)

Yes, a lot of big thoughts over Chopin and a tender coconut.

This post is dedicated to La, Paddu and especially Rookie. Your first dedication Rookie! :-)

The strange Loopy wormhole

Well, Slick and I were going on one of his spaceships again when we came across a weird wormhole. we thought we'd take a look and we found that the wormhole lead back to the exact same location(if that's even possible!).
so, we thought we'd check again and we went through the wormhole again. We came back to the exact same co ordinates. Amazing!
This wormhole would make the best roller coaster ride in the history of this universe. So that's what we did, we built a roller coaster and a roller coaster track in the wormhole and millions and billions of creatures from all over came to ride through the wormhole. And guess who else paid for a ticket and rode through the wormhole? Dr. Anonymous of course!

The wormhole with the ride still exists. It's one of the wonders of the universe. you should go see it sometime (when you're ready to space travel of course).

The Nutcase

No. This post is not about Rash(pronounced 'RUSH').

It's about a man who everyone thought was a lunatic. Every night he'd wake up and start screaming and yelling at all the people who made him suffer, who let go of him when he didn't want to be and the rest of the world where he lived couldn't stand him for that. (For most worlds are filled with beings who judge.)
The people didn't know what to do with him. Nobody dared to be his neighbour for they were extremely scared of him.
But what they did not know was that during the day he went to the ocean and had the best time of his(or anyone's) life with the dragons in the ocean. People had never thought of dragons as friendly beings. Infact, dragons were supposed to be the most dangerous creatures on the planet. But for some reason this man got along with them. He seemed to understand them and they him.

Black holing with Slick!!!

One day when I was feeling a little lonely and blue, Slick came to cheer me up. "So, who wants to go for a Ked Lepellin concert?" he said and he winked. You can imagine my delight. He not only had tickets for the concert, but an invite to their after party(one guest allowed). "Let's go! what're we waiting for!" I said as I ran to his ultra cool spaceship. And off we went to see the concert. Now, Slick had recently taught me how to calculate the path through which we need to travel to get to a particular location in space and i must say i had gotten very good at it. But, today was not my day. My blueness caused me to be a little absent-minded and i did not re check my calculations.
So, we're travelling at the speed of light and we got gobbled up by a black hole before Slick could say "You idiot."
However, his spaceship is very well designed and didn't get torn apart. Hence, neither did we. (I cannot go into the details of how the spaceship was built due to 2 reasons - 1) It's beyond your comprehension level and 2) It would make this blog too big for my taste. )
We ended up on the other side of the black hole. Now, what's on the other side of a black hole you ask me? Honestly, I don't know. But, Slick and I ended up at the Ked Lepellin concert! How strange? But, things got stranger. Up on stage the lead singer was singing, only it wasn't him. A man with a horrible horrible voice was singing. It was Dr.Anonymous who was singing. And what's more, the crowd threw every piece of rubbish they could find on the guy. (not surprising actually. the guy's just not meant to be a singer. But, somehow, in this universe he is.) Yes, yes that's right. We ended up in another universe.
Before we could think of what to do next, Dr. Anonymous's usual spacecraft came, and out came the lead singer holding what seemed to be a big mike in his hand. The crowd gasped in fear. All of them closed their ears. Slick and I wondered why. Then he sang into the mike.We heard a powerful, dark song and we shuddered as we listened to it. Both of us closed our ears too. But, it wasn't good enough. My favourite band's singer is scaring me. I do not like this. I said, "Slick, we need to get out of here." He said, "We need to find that black hole again". So, we ran back into our spaceship and I got ear muffs to help Slick concentrate while he re calculated co-ordinates. (It's quite surprising, that no set of advanced ear muffs were developed in our universe. Nobody thought of creating dark and powerful songs in our universe either when you look at it that way.)
So, after he calculated, we quickly took off and sped towards the black hole again that gobbled us back to our home universe and boy was I glad to be back.(All the blueness evaporated.)
the concert turned out to be one of their best performances yet!
