The idea of the existence of a parallel universe isn't new to anyone. It's a figment of our imagination- originating from science fiction stories we've all read at some point in time. However, it seems like something remotely probable; not as far-fetched as some other ideas. What if there really was another universe? Perhaps we're aliens to some other life forms elsewhere. It's an exciting thought, isn't it? The possibilities are limitless.
So, what if there was another world out there exactly like ours? Which came into being like ours, which is as old as ours and evolved just like ours? What if there were palm trees, coral reefs, oceans, tigers, birds, whales, humans, etc. co-existing on that planet? Or planets?! Or something even more thought-provoking.... what if everything was mirrored? Not just the mere existence of the same species or life forms, but the existence of the exact same individuals of those species. An identical parallel world. What if there was another Ishika blogging about this very subject, right now?
Maybe some day, when we've ruined our beautiful earth completely and we go out into space looking for another place to live in, we'll find an equally ruined earth; or earth-II if you will. Maybe we'll bump into our doppelgangers in space! Wouldn't that be a peculiar little meeting? The discovery of such a place would be evolutionary. It would be like a child's crazy, fantastic dream come true. But the sad thing about humans, I feel, is that if we did actually stumble upon such a place, we would turn the situation into a highly political, analytic, practical one and ruin the fun for everyone. And if there were humans on both sides...boy will we be in for some roughage! On the other hand, if there weren't any humans on the other planet, we'd probably just try to dominate the highest species there and take over the planet...destroying it with war in the process. In that case, it's something better imagined than discovered.
"What if". Two words I love to use. For the simple reason that there's so much opportunity to use them. I have many more 'what ifs' for this post. What if there was another planet where humans were at the bottom of the food chain? What if there was another planet just embarking on the remarkable journey of evolution? What if aliens are nothing like the big-eyed, big-skulled, hairless creatures we've conjured up in our minds? What if they are beautiful, graceful, harmless beings? What if there's a microscopic planet floating around in space, with a bustling, minuscule ecosystem that we'll never have the chance of finding? What if there's a planet still ruled by dinosaurs that never went extinct? What if there's a planet on which humans evolved from birds? ( gee what would that be like!?)
So many questions. So many possible answers. It's such fun to think about these things; just to ask yourself- what if?? Your imagination goes bonkers!
