Ever imagined, we have been looked upon by someone? Someone who can hear us, someone who wants to talk to us, someone as big as an elephant? Well, all those who have seen this movie, you got it right. I am inspired by the idea of the latest animated movie, 'Horton hears a Who'. For those, who haven't seen, Horton is an elephant and there is a small town on the seed of a clover, Whoseville, where lives very very tiny little world of creature who call themselves as 'Who'. They are unaware that Horton can hear them. But Horton makes them hear himself and finally saves the Whoseville from being eaten/destroyed by someone in his world.
But, I am not going to discuss the movie. Its definitely a great idea.
Imagine, where we are sitting right now is a very very small bed. Or, lets take it this way... our avg height is 1.7 m and there is someone whose hieght is 874310894522907543109875121110978993017890561665110931904567910809011234770900000 m (don't try to convert it..it took me a whole minute to reach to this figure, and don't ask me how I reached to this!!). And the diameter of this creature is proportional to its hieght. Wow..!! I'll call him - Tiny. And Tiny is a small child and its Mom and Dad are bigger than it. They have their own world. They have their own laptops, they have their own bread to eat (how big that piece of bread would be!!?), they have everything what we have and may be more than that.
We get the earthquakes, because that creature is moving and our space tries to put that pressure on us. Meteors hit our planets because some very small pieces of dirt falls from their world into ours.
You might be wondering what the hell am I trying to make you imagine? We have already explored the universe till Saturn and have identified so many stars, so many light years away from us. But imagine, that this whole universe is inside a single piece of a marble. And there are so many marbles up above somewhere. And Tiny...it playes with these marbles!! We are not impacted by the sudden impact that is produced by the bang of two marbles as what happens in our world happens at a very very less pace. Tiny and its world is too fast. May be much faster than the speed of light (I could relate the speed of Tiny's world with the speed of light, as that is the only fastest thing that I have been told since my birth..may be there are speeds faster than light..).
Now I feel very small. I look outside at a land rover on the road. Its not big. It might be bigger for me but its very very ...very very small for Tiny.
We are striding to develop everything small for us, compact. But we have to think BIG create this small thing. We might not be as big as Tiny, but we can think, we can imagine as big as the world for Tiny would be or more than that..
Imagine...
