Just finished watching 'Independence Day' for the zillionth time, one of my favourites, a movie on alien invasion.As a twelve- year old, like many others when someone pulled my then very-chubby cheeks & asked me with amusement & curiosity the common ‘What do you wan’t to become when you grow big, kiddo?’ I with my deep-brown eyes gazing at the sky replied an Astronaut instantly.
Looking at the night sky one question pops up in an inquisitive head? Is there someone lurking somewhere faraway on one of those bright stars? Something which moves, which has life, made up of matter?
It would be foolish to assume there is nothing out there admist that what seems like nothingness to our naked eye. As I observe & try to imagine the universe, zooming out from where I stand, to - as broader scale as my imagination can stretch to I feel as tiny as ‘a littlest baby flea on a tiny blade of grass in the forests of Amazon’ would feel. Our whole planet itself if seen from somewhere above would seem that tiny. So what are the chances that the humankind with our collective ignorance are the only ones in the entire universe?? Do the math & you will find the probablity very negligible, zilch because of the vastness of the universe..
Visulising an alien – my brain is filled with images, movies have fed us with. First thing that comes to mind is a green/red ugly looking mass with big eyes, octopus-ish limbs, covered with some dripping poisonous substance. I am certain if there exists an alien, it would be something beyond our imagination, it would be creature-X.
It might be of some complex twisted shape, square or just a blob.
It might communicate in high range frequencies which we couldn’t even pick up.
It might move/roll around like a road-roller, glide, fly
It might be much smarter, stronger, bigger, than us.
It might have skin made of gold/ some glittering substance.
It might be something beautiful, colourful.
We are taught to be scared of these things, what if they are nice god-like creatures.
So many possibilities….the brain goes beserk...
SO what do you’ll think? How do they look in your heads?
