THE INFINITY MIRROR

THE YEAR IS 8659

It's a great day for human civilization. Finally, a non exhaustible, self regenerating energy source in the form of Arcanium core is ready to be used and bring the next revolution. With this, finally, the world is ready to uncover the secrets,the mysteries of science which was not possible earlier. The first thing formed by the Unified Council of Earth ( the only governing body after Unification of Earth happened 600 years ago ) is the Infinity Voyager 1 , the spaceship that will travel to the infinity of space to explore and bring back new understanding of space. The second thing formed is the Infinity Microscope, which will help with understanding the micro particles better and to make the Arcanium core better. After the unification, Earth is finally at peace as all the boundaries and demarcation of countries have been wiped out. Equal development and equal opportunities was the need of time when Earth's condition worsened, few years back. The most populated countries were not that advanced, and the the most advanced countries were devoid of man power. To protect the the planet, Unification took place, to count humanity as one. No USA, No Africa, No India, No China,just Earth. We saved the Earth, but at the cost of perishable power sources finally perishing. So, then to survive humans finally broke the pact of nuclear warheads as nuclear energy was the only source of energy left to sustain life. And hence, the development of Arcanium core started.This was already decided from that time, when Arcanium will be perfected the first thing this super energy to be used is to find another sustainable planet like Earth in another galaxy. And the second thing would be making it more stable and better by micro analysis of the atoms as a backup to the first plan, as if a new planet might not be found.

The day finally is here, the launch was ready. IF1 is ready to spread its wings and make the preconceived notions of space obsolete, on the other side, the IM is plugged in to make the preconceived notions of science obsolete. The countdown to future began. Everyone in the planet has their eyes glued to this historic day. With the countdown reaching 0, the Earth propelled itself into the "Era of New Beginnings" as decided.

The Arcanium core worked like a charm. The spaceship traveled through space and time sending never seen before scenes of our universe. Soil samples and climate character were being recorded at every single planet. As it moved further and further away from our solar system, the images became more and more fascinating. It stars too moved through the endless darkness, possessing endless energy. The human race was going to make history today. For the first time, a galaxy is going to be penetrated and a whole new prospective about space is ready to be dissected. Every single person on Earth sat down with eyes patiently waiting for the miraculous images of the galaxy from outside of it. And with one great thrust of the engines, the message finally came,              ' Receiving Images '

The IM was ready in the Earth Science and Research Organization. The ESRO scientist were thrilled to be able to make history today. The Arcanium core helped the microscope to zoom into infinity. But of course, the technology of plasma lenses have it limits too, so they have to improve that with the help of this new energy source in time. Even then, the images that will be recorded today, will shatter all existing concepts, models and knowledge of the micro particles. The atomic structure is one of the things which have gotten evolved soo many times in history until it became stagnant for a long period of time. With the help of this new Infinity Microscope the hopes and stakes were extremely high. This will give a new chapter to science and a new prospective to the Arcanium core and hence, might be a new life to Earth. The lights went black, it's time to make history. The microscope, as large as a 20 story building rumbled like a beast with blue, glowing arcanium inside it rotating and making a spectacular sight. And then it happened. The arcanium energy from the microscope spurted out into the night sky like fireworks with every image taken. The light was seen from miles away. It symbolized an end of an era and the beginning of a new one.

" Wait.... What's the meaning of this?" The head scientist were perplexed, confused and terrified. The images of both IV1 and IM were processed and now placed in front of a petrified room of great minds. The room is filled with the greatest minds of Earth right now, and still nobody spoke a word. Not because they couldn't find anything. In fact, they found a little bit more, a little bit extra, a little bit frightening than they expected it to be. Everyone already knew what they found out.All they could, is to stare at the images. For the first time, most of the questions these prolific minds generated were all answered. But the answer was just, way too easy for them to digest and move on. " Should we release the images? It will cause chaos and possibly violence. Everyone is waiting for a revelation too." One of the heads broke the silence. " What revelation will we do? That we are actually insignificant? That lives we live are meaningless? The people will loose their will to live.And god help us... That will be the beginning of the end. A half lie will be better than a catastrophic truth. I guess you all understood." With this, he stands up and picks the images. He tears them in half and shows them to the panel." Just say the arcanium is a little unstable and show half pictures in full display. This will bring us time to solve this. Some mysteries are better left unsolved." The panel agreed and moves with the plan.

What was in the images? Let me satisfy the curiosity. The IV1 image of the milky way showed that the thing we thought was a cluster of solar system, was actually a sphere in shape. Following the General theory of relativity by Einstein, the numerous stars inside the milky way bends the space around it to an extent that it becomes a somewhat spherical shaped with protrusions from where the different suns join in the space. Fascinating? Not much right? Now compare it to the image by IM. IM showed that all electrons had their own orbits rather than what we thought. The mass of electrons, believed to be same...also was wrong. In fact, the image showed something just like what we knew from a long, long time ago. The Atomic structure was totally identical to the solar system we live in! Comparing the images side by side is where the creepy realization starts. Atoms are like very small solar systems. We live in a planet, equivalent to an electron revolving around the core. Atoms create a molecule which looks fairly like a galaxy. But our galaxy is made of thousands of solar systems bending space and forming a bond which doesn't allow the suns to drift apart from the milky way in infinite vacuum, which is equivalent to thousands of atoms. Which molecules are formed of thousands of atom you ask? Human DNA and proteins! You guessed it right. Universe, is a myth. Actually universe is like an infinity mirror illusion. A human living in a planet is actually inside another who is himself, inside another one and so it goes into infinity. The significance of life, is only when you live it. Otherwise we are only just a speck on an electron. This theory explains the age old theory of we all are a universe in ourselves. And also the notion of god, as someone who resides above all of us. I know it sounds absurd. But life is absurd, life is mad, life is insignificant. So don't waste life in finding meanings, use life to live. After all we all are a speck of energy. Enjoy this illusion until it lasts!
